A man who graduated high in his class at Yale Law School and made partnership in a top law firm would be celebrated. A man who invested wisely would be admired, but a woman who accomplishes this is treated with suspicion.
Why is it men are permitted to be obsessed about their work, but women are only permitted to be obsessed about men?
Why am I so famous? What am I doing right? What are the others doing wrong?
Men are allowed to have passion and commitment for their work... a woman is allowed that feeling for a man, but not her work.
