It's harsh and it's mean, but yeah, too often women are made to feel that being weak is ideal. I fucking hate being treated like child, because I'm female. Sure, telling me the truth will hurt, but if I don't hear what needs to be said I'll never be able to improve. Women in general are far too weak, and then they wonder why they aren't usually accepted into male dominated fields. It's because in the workplace guys don't like being around someone they have to feel sorry for all the time.
