no man can withstand the gale-force winds of my batting eyelashes

Waaay back when I was job-hunting I signed up for some online resume sites. I never bothered to take down my (now completely out of date) resume and I still get regular emails on job-hunting and career advice. Very occasionally I even glance through one.

Which is how I spotted the lead-in to this particular article on Workopolis today.

"Controversial career advice: Network News readers debate whether women should flirt their way to the top."

I'm sorry, but what fucking century is this?
