    She's smart, self-assured, and doesn't suffer fools gladly. Why is it that strong women who know what they're about are always put down for being "intimidating", like it's something they should apologize for?

    ***** No, they're commonly directed at men who are be rude in some way to others, not just men who are assertive. Sigh, MRA idiots, thinking people complaining about male authority figures who are rude/sexist/unreasonable is remotely comparable to women being undermined and belittled just for being good at their job and in charge. Typically if you're called a dick by anyone you ARE doing something wrong. Women can be called harpys, ice queens, 'career driven', cold, bitches merely for existing and being in charge. Keep crying those man tears. I can see how men being called dicks is totally holding you all back.

    She's tough. You get the feeling that she plows under any of the slackers in her midst. Given her business, that's an essential skill. If you are going to reign in the land of this-minutes-hippest, you better have ironclad self esteem. That said, I thought the necklace weighed down her diminutive features and made her go all turtle around the neck. IMO.

    Who gives a crap as to whether she is "intimidating." She's extremely talented at what she does, bottom line. If she were cruel, unethical or assaulted people, then yea, that would be unacceptable. However, who gives two craps as to whether she "smiles enough." I rarely smile in public, not because I'm mean, but b/c I'm often in thought. People need to stop being so nosy and judgmental. Back off and let people do their thing.

    Anna Wintour is a strong, smart business and fashion forward woman who knows her shit. She's very good at what she does and she's talented, driven and inspiring. People who don't understand or respect that will claim her to be intimidating. But that doesn't make her any less of an important part of the fashion industry.

    Anna herself is wearing something that looks like she got it from Chico's. Don't even get me started on her horrible hair cut. Bobs can be so glamorous, but with the uneven bangs I can't deal. That is how I cut my dolls hair when I was 5 years old. This lady is hack...we all bought into it, hook line and sinker. I like that Grandma's necklace she is wearing though.

    I don't think she is or was the popular girl at school, she seems like the sort of person who was always driven and ambitious and not really interested in winning a popularity contest. That's why I respect her so much - she means business and doesn't need to play nice. It's funny to me how people find her intimidating when she actually simply behaves like any other man in the business world, like a professional who keeps feelings in check. So I agree with what you say about her scaring men.

    I don't find her intimidating at all, not from any of the interviews I have watched so far. Weak people find confident women intimidating. I love them, and only but aim at being more and more like that myself, you know.. just confident. I used to have a boss with her demeanour, she was the best boss I ever had. Taught me a lot about self-confidence, straightforwardness and strength. She respected me a lot because I would tell her like it is, and I would respect her a lot for being that sort of person too. If I ever want a job back with her the doors are opened. Great woman! A couple of my colleagues looked a bit scared of her. I just found her awesome, very solid, grounded and reassuring... and with a great sense of style too. Working with her just felt like home to me, and maybe that's why I always come back. Might work with her again actually.
