It seems to be a total non-issue to me. I mean, even IF (big if here) the boys were totally excluding the woman and just won't let her in or help her succeed - that doesn't mean we're doomed to failure. We just find a different way, build a new 'club' and move on up! Kinda like the law of attraction thing I guess - if you think there's a barrier there, it's there - but only because it exists in your mind. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Angela Willss last blog post..<a href="http://www.marketersmojo.com/225/ftf-my-contact-form/" rel="nofollow">My Contact Form</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> I totally agree with you ladies.

But because we're women it's hard for many. I admire your determination, with leaders and mentors like you, many more will have the confidence to put themselves out there. Absolutely.

I really do wish that more women would take the initiative and find out for themselves that the opportunities are there, instead of assuming that they are not. Men tend to be proactive in business. Being proactive works for women too. If you want to accomplish something... just do it!

So, even though the first thought might be that, by the time the reader finishes the piece they will see you for what you really are, a talented, smart, hard-working internet marketer that has earned her position in that magazine. You really don't even need to consider the alternative. Congrats on the piece, I can't wait to read it.

Unfortunately, that is exactly what is about to happen. Well over a month ago (closer to 2 I believe), I talked to some of the key people at StomperNet about submitting a piece for The Net Effect (their new print publication). That went through, I submitted my piece, and its going to be published in the November issue. Given the timing, I imagine it will be seen as "good marketing" on their end - instead of seeing it for what it is: A smart marketer with something of value to contribute, that took the steps to make it happen. See what I mean? :P I'm happy with what I accomplished regardless, but its unfortunate that this has become such a hot topic, when the issue is really a non-issue (at least in my case). <abbr><em><abbr><em>Lynn Terrys last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/wp-clicknewz/~3/430343847/" rel="nofollow">Interview With Social Media Link-Building Specialist, Nathan Ketsdever</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> All good points.

I hate to say it but with all the uproar I WOULD think that they were "going out of their way" to get a lady on the stage. It's just a natural response. Just like when I first saw the "StomperNet Response", first I thought it was very defensive and a mistake on their part, second I thought they felt they had to show-off the women who work there. Instead of releasing a statement in their defense, they should have just gone on with business while correcting their initial oversight. And if they couldn't help themselves and felt a response was obligatory, they should have had one of the top men, Andy or Brad, issue a sincere statement admitting that they may have made a mistake in their over-zealousness to launch the product.

My only real concern is how this whole 'uproar' will affect our industry in the long run. An example being if you were asked to speak at the next big IM event. Would people applaud you your expertise... or your gender (or their choice in selecting you, based on your gender). People tell me I live in a dream world to wish that we were all judged on our skills (in this industry) instead of our gender, race, location, etc. As for any intentional segregation - I dont see it either. And this is my 12th year in IM. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Lynn Terrys last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/wp-clicknewz/~3/427776879/" rel="nofollow">StomperNet Responds…</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> I mirrored your thoughts in my own post on the gender debate (hyperlinked to my name here).
