Question

What obstacles has Condoleezza Rice faced because of her gender? How did she overcome these?

Answer 1

High heel shoes, torn pantyhose, having the toilet seat left up and so forth.

Answer 2

Yeah poor little Condie was clearly crushed by The Patriarchy. Wake the hell up - this is the 21st century and women can do whatever the hell they like.

Answer 3

When you say gender, are you refering to her as being a human on earth? Or the fact that she is an Alien?

Answer 4

Nothing. She's educated, or more educated than the average person I should say, she's holding one of the most respected/powerful positions in the world, AND she is a WOMAN ! See, equality has been achieved already !

Answer 5

Race was a much bigger issue than gender.

Answer 6

She still had to take care of a baby

Answer 7

I know this will offend some people but she benefited from Affirmative Action and a favorable political climate. Her success was just as much as the result of good timing as it was due to her decision to stay single and childless so she could focus on her career. In another time, she could have only expected to become someone's maid or cook.

Answer 8

It seems that when it comes to romantic possibilities men steer clear of her or she just doesn't make the time for them.

Answer 9

None.

Answer 10

She was stupid. She didn't overcome them, she emphasized them.
