Fundamentally I agree with you, especially on the guilt issues. My first business mentor was a man and he is still an inspiration to me today. I've also learned a lot of valuable lessons from other men along the way. One of the reasons why I decided to start my own business was I didn't like what many successful business women became (or thought they had to become) to be successful in a male-dominated business world. It's as an entrepreneur that I've been able to see what wahm-power looks like and discover my own potential and power. That I can be smart and savvy and sweet and not have to change in order to be successful. I hope that makes sense. It might be the same point you're trying to make...
