Being a woman in this business

They all say it...Barbara Walters, Katie Couric, Oprah, and so many more who have made it... Being a woman in this business is VERY hard! Especially when you are in management. So, lets get one thing straight, I am in this career because I love journalism, I love news and I love giving back to the community. But, a lot of men have problems with a young woman who knows her stuff. I know this happens everywhere but it seems to get worse and worse. Punching walls, calling a female (especially your supervisor) names like "Bitch", "Nazi" and telling her to "shut up" is just plane wrong... But for some reason, in T.V. HR departments and following laws are thrown out the window. Whats really ironic about this is we are the ones that cover these stories and blow them up when it happens to anyone else, but not when it happens within news rooms and stations. You kind of have to make a stand and then drop it or, there goes your job (they will call it a lay-off BTW.) I am learning how to keep my mouth shut and just put on a "happy face" and that is what I am going to have to do to stay in this business. God, its frustrating, but I guess its life in the T.V. news world. And its life being a female in this business... Help Oprah! Help!!! lol
