Other women don't feel the need to do the drama and there you go.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01440182520469860355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890103892896813737.post-39485054050523622172009-03-25T23:38:00.000-04:002009-03-25T23:38:00.000-04:00I have no clue why we do that. I got to sit in on ...I have no clue why we do that. <BR/><BR/>I got to sit in on a Meritorious Sergeant Promotion board. There's one Marine I wanted to see win the board. The Marine was HOT! Bearing, appearance, her knowledge...you name it, she had it. However, the "powers that be" decided that she didn't deserve it. Deep down I knew she wouldn't get it because one of the other people sitting on the board, was bragging weeks prior about how she had to "shut her down". <BR/><BR/>I couldn't do anything but glare at that woman. Back in the day, they would've accused me and her of getting our advancements by laying on our backs.YouToldHarpoTaBeatMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00276310712775968041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890103892896813737.post-29491613727238984512009-03-25T19:45:00.000-04:002009-03-25T19:45:00.000-04:00Hell, that's a good question and although I think ...Hell, that's a good question and although I think I know I believe that I really don't.<BR/><BR/>Especially coming out of the civil rights/70s poverty/crack era/AIDS-DL brothers era.<BR/><BR/>I would think after all of the oppression, supression and outright disrespect that women (especially sisters) are uniquely nomad and are tight fisted in their support of other women.<BR/><BR/>A woman will blindly back her lying, cheating man and get burned before backing another woman, regardless of relationship.<BR/><BR/>Sadly.<BR/><BR/>My humble opinion. I could be wrong.The Brown Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892123380005014339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890103892896813737.post-44098218735680507352009-03-25T18:09:00.000-04:002009-03-25T18:09:00.000-04:00I used to vote all the time but I hardly ever watc...I used to vote all the time but I hardly ever watch anymore as it conflicts with 24 and the biggest loser. I get upset when the person that I like gets kicked off when no dancing azzez, like the Steves you mentioned, get to stick around for a long time. Reminds me of AI too.

(And I see it A LOT in the workplace).<BR/><BR/>I am glad that I have several meaningful relationships with women friends. But I think it takes time, and it takes forging a good "history" with people. We are an unforgiving bunch if some mess go down. And these days, it seems like we expect the "messiness". <BR/><BR/>At the same time, I've helped other women, and have been burnt. I cannot let that keep me from seeing the good in people, though. And I admit, with new folks, it is hard. <BR/><BR/>I think society doesn't support us being supportive of each other. Competition and b.s. is encouraged (look at our media, books, music, EVERYTHING)... they dictate most of our attitudes and ways of dealing with people.<BR/><BR/>I have a tendency to look for people who are not like that. I support you, you support me, period. We all need that. <BR/><BR/>Doggonit Chele, now I gotta call some of my homegirls and tell them that I appreciate them. I've been taking their support for granted!!!<BR/><BR/>Those dudes are going to be on the show for a long time because they have a fan base. You know that dayum Holly and Denise don't! (Especially Holly!)<BR/><BR/>If I ever vote, it is for the best dancer... period. Male or female. DWTS is nothing more than a popularity contest, really. And that is what makes it uneven. But you are right, the women are going to support the male celebrities before the female celebrities, hands down.LadyLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14895667783148669410noreply@blogger.com
