1. All of the above and neither of the above, all at the same time!
2. I respect bosses and managers who are talented at what they do, who don't feel the need to step on other people to get to where they are, and who are good at mentoring people who aspire to excel in their field. I am fortunate to be working for such a person at this point in time.
3. In terms of
actual performance, I've seen more evidence that there's greater variance between individuals than there exists between genders. In terms of public perception, however, one recurring trend I see is that females in positions of responsibility are more likely to have their failures attributed to their gender, whereas males are only blamed individually,
as seen in my favourite xkcd comic.
EDIT: Oops, Mory beat me to tsa's questions, so I'll answer his.

1. I can be when provoked. One of my very good friends fits this definition to a tee. So do many older women I admire, though their aggression tends to be more based in wit and intellectualism than in physicality.
2. My father is great with kids, and I have at least a couple of very dear male friends who have a sense of empathy I can only aspire to.
3. Psychonauts.

1. What, in your mind, is feminism?
2. Do you consider yourself a feminist? If not, do you consider yourself a feminist ally? Why/why not?
3. Does it make sense to you for a person to say "I'm not a feminist, but I believe that men and women are equal," and why/why not?
