Seems like Robert Scoble is attending the 19th Annual Professional Business Women of California Conference tomorrow. How they would feel about this conversation?

Even if it did play out as Jason describes - where was his leadership in redirecting the conversation? He wants to be a leader with his company and in the technology space, well then….lets see leadership!

that’s classic Jason, that is. can’t say I’m a bit surprised. as a non-smoking-hot but (I think) pretty darn smart woman who HAS worked for Jason, I’ll say that I would not be at the front of the line waiting to work for him again.

Just wondering why the host has to be female. Why not a guy?

Queen of Spain - your hubby sounds like a great dad! And I’m sure he’s just grousing about the boys. I’m sensitive to the subject because I have a teenage daughter, and with good colleges the carrot on the stick, a lot of her friends don’t date (which is the phenomenon written about in Unhooked). I hope parents will encourage their kids to have youthful (teen) relationships. I’m sure your husband won’t keep the boys away forever - and it sounds like that’s a long ways off for your daughter, anyway.

I don’t feel all of this. I work in high tech and I would be in SO MUCH trouble if I needed to have a nice rack, because I don’t, but I must say, I have a great job and it hasn’t been an issue.

I think there is a lingering double standard that comes up now and then. I think it can be an old habit and it’s annoying. (Like when the local male-lead morning show wondered why all the really-good-looking and consistently-ditzy women co-hosts didn’t take their job seriously enough. They didn’t think to maybe hire a less ditzy co-host.)

But high-tech is great for women. If you deliver, that is what counts. That’s been my experience.

Dadshouse- make no mistake, my husband loves and adores my daughter with everything he has. He just would rather see boys stay far away from his baby girl.

I’m sorry your husband feels that way. I’m a single dad and my oldest child is a daughter. I couldn’t be happier that she entered my life! She’s very smart, athletic, beautiful, confident. Any boy will be lucky to have her in his life. And she can hold her own with any boy. I don’t wish any boy-deterrants on her, whatsoever.

If your hubby is worried about your daughter getting knocked up by 16, you might point him to Pulitzer-winner Laura Stepp’s book, “Unhooked”, about the hookup culture that is permeating high school and college campuses. As a man 40-something man who is actively dating, I pointed out to Ms. Stepp that hooking up is a cultural phenomenon not limited to teens and 20-somethings. I see it everywhere and have written about it on my blog. After reading this book, parents might actually want their kids to date and experience relationships of youth.

I’m sure your husband will come around, and hope he embraces your daughter for whoever she is.
