adam greenfield reminds us that men can be jerks, but overlooked the real problem

Adam Greenfield, author of Everywhere, The dawning age of ubiquitious computing, recently blogged about the "self-contained universe of wall-to-wall maleness" where men speak (write, design, etc.) for 100% of the population strictly from a male perspective

women in finance

[anonymous]

My field: Finance.

My main beef is that there are two camps: Male writers write about Middle East Oil swindles, Russian politics, and make comparisons to fast cars and call Gold, Silver and The M3 Money supply "women" in metaphors.

Women financial writers (whether compelled or by choice, not yet determined)are "pragmatic" -- diplomatic phrasing, folks. They write about how to set up the best 401k, how to save money at the pump... in other words: Piddly Emily Post posts on family budgeting!

On Friday noted a plug for one of our associate publisher's books, by a WOMAN, Merryn Somerset Webb...but what was it called?

LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH

Is this the only advice women can be trusted to give? Can't she be involved in vast diplomatic intrigues with Ex-Iranian Oil Officials and Russin Oligarchs?

Just got a promotion to editor, so maybe I can mend this grave error!
