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.

No, a man who acts like an asshole is a bitch. A woman who acts like an asshole is a bitch. It's very simple. If you act like one, people are going to call you one. Insecurity does not give one license to act like a terror to whomever they please. No one, regardless of their stature or clout, has that license and her reputation is well deserved.
