Because women never have conflict?

Based on my bigoted stereotypes, I felt justified in in discriminating against men in the workplace...

It would be treated as a crime if the shoe was on the other foot.

Too funny. Having grown up in a family of five girls I could’ve advised her on the stupidity of her initial premise. But she wouldn’t have listened anyway.

Many years ago, I worked in an office where I was the token male. I witnessed the behavior described in this article. There were days when I sensed that I needed to proceed directly to my office.

Yes, the Left believes it’s own baloney.

Gender issues aside, this was a horribly-managed company.

Even a suggestion that we start a men-only business or club would get us banned from polite society for life.

We had a crew of friends tearing the roof off of my brother’s house. Our mom was watching. At one point she started shaking her head. I asked what was wrong. She said a crew of women would have been on the ground tearing each other’s hair out after 20 minutes of the good-natured abuse we were throwing at each other.

When I saw “TV Company”, I thought maybe Sylvania was coming back.

This isn’t at all surprising if you’ve ever been around groups of women.

Women are routinely far more vicious to each other than any decent man would ever be to any woman. Only feminists or fools would ever believe that "all women" equates with "no conflict".

Some years ago I bought In the Company of Women: Indirect Aggression Among Women: Why We Hurt Each Other and How to Stop(2003) (not to be confused with a similar-titled book from 2016).

The big issue with women in the workplace is that women tend to take things very personally, and are more likely to hold a grudge for a long time over real or imagined slights. This can be corrosive to a work environment.

But God help you if you are a man and upset a woman. They will ALL gang up on you.

The viciousness of women to women is incredible.
