Freezing in NH

BusinessWeek has a nice small business section http://www.businessweek.com/smallbiz/. 

The article She Did it Her Way is interesting (and the women very inspiring) but it seems a bit patronizing.  The lead question is “Why are women bailing from Corporate America?” and the answer seems to be “because they wanted to do things their own way”.  If this were an article about men, would it be phrased the same way?  I think it would say “because they want to be in charge” or “because they want to make more money” or even “because they want to be in control”.  I don’t think the motivations are that much different, just that the media slants things certain ways based either on the preconceptions of the writer, or because the writer thinks it’s what the audience wants to hear.

 Anyway, it’s not a bad article, go read it.
