Sexcess: The New Gender Rules at Work

About the Book

SEXCESS BRIDGES THE GAP

It seems especially revolutionary to have women dissect and reconstruct so much of the feminist mythology…. Sexcess builds a gender bridge across the gap with skill, humor and real tools for real partnership.

The war between the sexes started as far back as man, and woman, can remember. It has only been recently, since new medical technologies started opening up worlds within, that it has been proven that there are indeed basic biological and chemical differences between men and women. Although there are more similarities between the sexes overall, the differences are fundamental enough to affect attitudes and behaviors, even in the workplace. Now Sexcess not only outlines the new scientific findings, but it approaches this intriguing subject with a set of Rules for workplace behavior. Resting on a foundation of respect for the opposite gender, the Rules prescribe recommended approaches for dealing with ticklish office situations. Subjects like handling venting or self-isolation, understanding competitive venom and passivity are all discussed with tact and wit, and lead to some eye-opening advice. As reader and editor Karen Thomson wrote to the authors, “Sexcess is consistently engaging, concise, and to the point. It moves quickly. You expertly provide reasons for the "Rules" that would serve us all well to know and to follow, not only in our professional lives, but also in our personal lives.”
