If she were a man, this conversation wouldn't be happening. And that's what I think is the saddest aspect of these "Barbra Streisand is a bitch" type threads. A strong woman who knows her craft is a bitch. A strong man is an "excellent business mind" or "a real leader." Maybe she just lacks the skills necessary to present herself more gently. I don't think she's a mean spirited person.

I have to fess up and say I know people who have worked with her and found her to be a terror.
I have always thought she comes across as a hard core pushy New Yorker, which can be disarming if you are not from there and/or are unsued to it.
