If you're female, and you want to express your femininity, you're actually demonized in the 'Free To Be... You And Me' generation.

I always love the soapy conflicts between somebody's family of origin and their new family - 'Do I have Thanksgiving at my husband's parents' house, or at my parents' house?'

I've been writing about misogyny for 20 years and trying to understand what femininity means for my entire career.

Your first job, I tell people I mentor, is managing your affect. Be nice and say nice things. Make it so that the people walk away from interacting with you and say, 'That was fun.' That will make them want to come back and do it again.

I'm admittedly not that into the Internet.

I did Internet dating for a while, and that is rife with horrible dating stories.

At first, social media was just about networking. But now that I have to network, I make sure that every platform makes money for me. You can do something on Facebook.

Technology has made it possible to order food, buy clothes, get a ride - anything you can think of, really - at the touch of a button. But what about having the right people near you when you need them?
