Isabella - I agree with William Hirsch's comments and am amazed at how ill-conceived and completely tone deaf your posting was which solicited input for a newsletter item. This was an incredibly bad idea to promote, that only serves to reinforce the worst - typically erroneous, stereotypes. It does a true disservice to our profession to promote this sort of fluff.
