Is the market place a boys zone!

The saying that men are the biggest threat to women's empowerment is slowly becoming a cliché as since yester years women have been pulling each other down and setting unattainable standards for each other for men to adopt. If you dress too well you lack substance if you dress bad to their standards you lack class. Lola worked at Twat and Associates a reputable law firm in the drive through town of Marondera. Unlike most of her colleagues she was an introvert who enjoyed the quiet spaces and looked naive or ignorant. She was always dressed in her simple but elegant outfits but lacked the charisma to add the flare to it and a constant riddle by most of the women in her workplace. why don't you wear make up it will suit you, you should go out more often, that jacket is hideous, your legs a bad for heels even when she won the prize for the regional young lawyers award a colleague remarked why didn't you tell us you had been nominated, do you think its a reputable award? What was sad is that they were men at their firm whose comments were pleasant and professional save for the new intern Nicholas Raum who was known to be a Casanova in the small town. Like Lola statistics have shown that 70% of successful and non successful women have reached the top or bottom because of comments or unpleasant remarks that were said to them by a fellow woman from the family set up or work environment. In teenagers self esteem is crushed by other girls because of image issues. Women will despise your appearance or your achievements before they critic your substance. Hence why few women make it to the top in the market place the few that do are alienated and lack the sisterhood support system hence it remains a men's world
