        Come on, Imran you're going to have to be nice than that to come off as a Southerner once you go to Atlanta. Even people like me can come off as cold and heartless down here.

        But seriously, if all you have to go on is a little of your girl friend's experences, then you need to get some more.

          Facts are facts. Womyn in the South don't have the same oppertunities for advancement down there than they have in other parts of the country. This is VERY well known. Yes, womyn have crap oppertunity for advancement all over this country in the past (it is getting much better these days), yet in the South, it is still lagging behind.

          And about the little experiences... the fact that was even SAID, and promoted by a career services staff member, shows how far you need to come.

          What makes you think I want to come off as a Southerner in Atlanta anyway? There are plenty of Northerners there.

              It's been PC for well over a decade, hence Imran's proof about the South behing behind the times (Indiana not withstanding).

                Northerners get descriminated against for more than women. Just try going to some Ford dealership and ask to see an F series. You'd get laughed at.

                      Dont forget that in the "real south" driving laws, pretty much like all laws, are "suggestions".

                      I dont think you need to carry a gun, you just need to look like you have one, or that you can kill without it.

                      When some moron cuts you off and almost kills you remember this. If you give them the finger you may start a gunfight, but since you dont have a gun......

                        Yeah, but I look like the kinda of guy who problably has one. I'm a stealth commie. I look like a bubba.

                          And Southern womyn have some wierd, outdated ideas as well, as my g/f can attest to.

                          Oh we do, do we? Some of us aren't quite so outdated!

                            Well one day (early in the year) she talked to some down-home Southern womyn. They were telling her to show 'graciousness'. During interviews she should show some leg and look sexy. They told her they were basically in law school to get a man.

                            One lady in Career Services kinda suscribed to that view. She told womyn to take off their wedding rings when they went to interviews. Saying "If they wanted to make a statement, they could go to California". Basically make the interviewer think you are single and available.

                            Disgusting.
                            WELL, YEAH!! Having recently spent approximately 8 weeks looking for a job, out of all the interviews, only one was with a male interviewer...don't think the female interviewers wudda appreciated such "graciousness"!! They might also have thought the interviewee trashy and not offered a job!

                              Why would any sensible person like you aspire to become a Southerner??
