There was some comedian on youtube that called his mother trying to figure out what his wife wanted for her Birthday.
“Did she say anything to you mom?”
“No - I’m sure she’s given you some hints son.”
“Oh - she told me what she wanted, but I can’t remember.”
“Well son, you need to remember things like that.”
“But she says it in the middle of a thousand other words - I can’t remember EVERY thing! She talks SO much!”
He later retracted his words at a news conference, acknowledging it was inappropriate – but when pressed on whether he really thought women talked too much, he replied: “I don’t listen to women that much lately, so I don’t know.”
The apology sounds like it kinda backfired too.
I’ve gone Galt when it comes to working with women. Zero altruism for them. They are on their own. I’ve watch too many incompetent women use their “socializing skills” to work their way up. I’m a sixty year old programmer/mathematician. I’ve met only one woman mathematician who could pull her weight; I’ve never met a woman programmer that could.
“When you increase the number of female executive members, if their speaking time isn’t restricted to a certain extent, they have difficulty finishing, which is annoying,” he said, as some members of the council reportedly laughed.”
He spoke the simple truth.
“when pressed on whether he really thought women talked too much, he replied: “I don’t listen to women that much lately, so I don’t know.”
Rolling on the floor LMAO.
I was working for a company in Tokyo, when the Prez called me into his office. Some new hire, an American woman, had had the utter gall to march into his office and demand that he put a stop to smoking in all company work spaces. He wanted to know what I thought.
I said to him, “This is Japan, not America. This is your company, not hers. Tell her to take a flying (fork) at a rolling doughnut.”
And he did.

I wonder what he meant by “too much”. Was it “women should be seen and not heard,” or “holy moly that one lady just won’t shut up!”
you talk too much by george thorogood seems appropriate right about now...

“I will bet the pressure came from the West.”
Yes.
And it’s just fine for ChiComs to host the Olympics in 2022.
He was wrong to say that......
It is not just during meetings. It is a chronic condition for most.
“In a time of universal deceit, speaking the truth...” - George Orwelll
Is this why I’ve always heard that nothing gets done at meetings?
I knew a couple. One was a Ukrainian woman who came to the U.S.A. after the fall of the Soviet Empire. She didn't talk much English, much of the time searching for the right English words for conversation. An excellent programmer, I asked what her job was back home. Nuclear physicist. I meekly said "Oh...". Another was a Chinese woman who had difficulty writing in English so I helped her in writing memos and such. The natives here in the U.S.A., not so many excellent woman programmers. Maybe a culture deficit here in how girls are taught.
Yes he is
It’s not a “gaffe”. He’s old school and old school talks the truth. I’ve had women bosses who would NOT shut the F Up at meetings.
Precisely my point. I’ve had the same experience.
One was a micromanager with a shrill voice...
I guess that means he is no Mori.
Without Mori to say stupid stuff out loud, the Olympics can now go on in complete safety and love. (/s)
