I don’t doubt it for a minute. Female administrators are the bane of my existence – I’ve been written up for insubordination twice and I can’t tell you how many dopey inservices like ‘The Attitude Virus’ I’ve had to attend because pointing out the obvious is considered threatening and uncooperative.

I’ve often wondered how much the level of risk-aversion in America has been influenced by the widespread use of Prozac. People on anti-depressants give the appearance of being above it all but they often have a hard time dealing with simple day-to-day disagreements. Anyway, keep up the good fight -
