Thread: Ted Cruz to pick Carly Fiorina as vice president if he wins Republican nomination

As a woman who started out in the hi-tech industry as a secretary in the 70's it was hard no matter what degree you had. We did not have to fight just the good old boy club, but we also had to fight foreign cultures that did not respect woman. I watched over and over as intelligent qualified woman were brought in as management, only to be eaten up and spit out. I watched and I learned. We shared tapes of empowerment for woman. How to work within the old boy club, how to take charge. We took courses on reading a person's body language and the use of words and the most important lesson we learned was networking. Yes we worked hard and we did trail-blaze, but unless you have walked in our shoes nobody knows what sacrifices we made to work our way up to management. But the one thing we knew as woman was it made no difference where you started out in the climb to the top it was a fight. It makes no difference that I don't personally care for Carly, I will not judge her.

You are very kind Monterey Sherry. I have some basic issues with Fiorina based on her performance at HP and some of her stances. That she is a woman should not give her a pass. JMO.

She could be the biggest rat in the world, woman or not. I am just saying that I have seen way to many woman in management in the hi-tech industry set up for failure.

I agree and I have seen much of the same. I have issues with Fiorina specifically based on her history. But that's just me.
