Nodding as I read thru the 8-page report. It would be interesting to hear the perspective of our women presidents in mentoring the next generation of women leaders. Those of us who have been thru this journey - what are we doing to lift talent? And more importantly, how are we improving the ecosystem to ensure that the talent survives?

It's puzzling to me why anyone would approach this topic with such aggresion and negativity Dr Jessica Taylor , it has fueled some concerning comments that don't seem too reasonable in your original post. Look maybe I'm just being ignorant but this is my take on the topic you raised : If the intent was to overshadow her moment, then yes, that's toxic and probably a red flag in the relationship. But if he's proposing, it's likely they know each other well by now. For most men, the proposal is about creating a beautiful moment for their partner, not stealing the spotlight. A proposal that meets his partners memorable expectations . While the timing of his well-meaning gesture might unintentionally shift focus or add to the celebration it would be unusual and weird for a guy to propose for attention especially since proposals aren't typically a topic guys care to brag about; proposals are not commonly viewed as an event primarily for the future husband. Most guys never celebrate the aniversary of the proposal let alone even remember the date on which they proposed. If he's reached the point where he wants to propose to the love of his life but isn't aware that this timing would upset her, that speaks to a deeper issue of not knowing her as well as he should. Instead of seeking out reasons to hate, we should strive to be more united, understanding, and empathetic. It's crucial to afford the benefit of the doubt and not jump to the worst conclusions by assuming a guy would plan a wedding proposal with any sinister intent towards their future wife. In reality he probably thought she would be twice as happy. if Damian Coory made a feature length episode of #theotherside he would struggle to address even half the sexist hatred in the original posts comments alone. How do we wake up from woke?

“Three Guineas” – Woolf’s Radical Feminist Manifesto Virginia Woolf’s "Three Guineas" isn’t just a book, it’s a manifesto, a daring call for the dismantling of patriarchal structures and a radical demand for women’s independence. In this essay, the unnamed narrator – who often mirrors Woolf’s own voice – addresses the reader directly, reflecting on the oppressive conditions faced by women and the limited opportunities available to them in early 20th-century England. The narrator's request for three guineas – money to support causes related to women’s education, anti-fascism, and the prevention of war – becomes a symbolic plea for the necessary resources to fight oppression. But it’s not just about money; the three guineas represent the power of financial independence, the necessity of intellectual autonomy, and the vital role of women in social change. Looking at the narrator’s life, we can see echoes of Woolf’s own struggles: the pressure to remain silent, the fight for intellectual freedom, and the need to forge a space where women could speak without fear. Through her, Woolf lays bare the societal constraints that continue to limit women's voices and actions, from the boardrooms to the battlefields. For Woolf, and for the narrator, the key to true liberation lies not in charity or temporary reforms, but in women’s ability to support themselves financially and gain access to education. That is the foundation of empowerment. As I share this with my students, especially my female students: it’s not just about finding a place at the table – it’s about building your own table, and filling it with the strength of independent thought, financial security, and the courage to challenge the status quo. #VirginiaWoolf #ThreeGuineas #Feminism #EconomicIndependence #SocialChange #WomenEmpowerment #FeministLiterature #IntellectualFreedom #GenderEquality
