I confess to mixed feelings about linking to the article, and running the risk of spreading the meme. However, there’s a serious argument in here that’s worth noting. From the Guardian:
I started the week feeling proud to be one of a new breed of woman – the PhDiva. We wear Manolo Blahniks but we also have doctorates. We are shocked by old-style attacks such as those of Prof [Susan] Estrich, because they go entirely against our way of operating. We know that, instead, a little charm and a little cheek will get us almost anywhere.
