Women are rapidly catching up to the wealthy and powerful men they have been chasing for a long time. But there is an aspect of this race that is not so cool. As women rise up the ladder to get money and power, they are all too often imitating the sins of men. We want them to bring that special loving feminine personality to the table, but do they really?
