> I’ve had middle­-aged coworkers (not at Facebook, another internship) literally GChat me pickup lines (that aren’t even clever) to the point I’d avoid certain portions of the office altogether;

Not to be trite, but the only thing worse than being a girl who gets Gchated pick up lines, is one who doesn't.

OK, now. What am I driving at? My view on a primary reason why there doesn't seem to be more progress is because the Liz Lemon and Jenna Maroney archetypes have yet to come up with a common strategy.

This bit of dialogue basically sums up their differences:

Jenna: Oh, I’m not worried because I have something the other actors don’t. A secret weapon.

Liz: Don’t say your sexuality.

Jenna: My sexuality!
