Watching the first season of Project Runway and I gotta say Wendy's behavior on the show really annoys me. Whether her over-the-top actions were faked or not is a matter of debate but what upsets me is that she feels she needs to be a bitch to get ahead.
I don't understand why women feel that they need to act either like bitches or men to get ahead. Why should a woman have to sacrifice her feminine traits to be accepted as a professional? It makes women who have more of the classically associated feminine traits, soft spoken, emotional driven, caring, etc. feel as if they can't compete in the "real world."
I realize, of course, that not all women behave like bitches or men, but no one can deny that there is a stigma out there that they should. You gotta be tough to make it big but you don't see men turning into vicious bastards or manufacturing false personalities to get ahead.
