Never Hire a Powerskirt
TheZMan ^ | 07-19-2016 | TheZMan

Looking back, we had, in the person of Teddy Roosevelt, the finest President in the history of this country. He had the spirit and determination that matched the times and the land. Then the women got the vote, and everything went to hell. While our boys was overseas fighting the Kaiser, the women got Prohibition put in. Drinking and gambling and whoring were declared unlawful. All those things which come natural to men became crimes.

–Judge Roy Bean

A quarter century ago, I was sent to my first reeducation camp. The company I was with at the time had been infected with the virus so everyone in a management position was sent off-site to be hectored about the importance of tolerance in the workplace. We did not yet have the word “diversity” to throw around as we were still in the “tolerance” stage of multicultural lunacy outbreak. At least that was the case in my part of the world so they called it “sensitivity training,” which everyone said using air quotes.

The people responsible for starting the sensitivity training were the women in the human resources department. They had changed the name of it to something stupid like “people and relationships” but it was an HR department. For reasons I’ll never understand, the men in charge of the company decided to pack the HR departments with women who immediately started making mischief. Talking to friends at the time, this was happening all over the business world. HR departments full of hens were morphing into sensitivity department full of bitter shrews.

Not long after I had returned from the reeducation camp, I was informed by HR that one of my charges had been making one of the women uncomfortable. She did not like the way he was looking at her. This woman dressed like a street walker and had to be told multiple times to stop showing off her smoking hot body at work. That made no difference. I was told I had to write him up, which I refused to do. That got me in some trouble and forever on the HR hit list, but it was the shape of things to come. My policy was going to be zero tolerance for this sort of terrorism.

That was a long time ago and things have only grown worse. The implosion of Fox News is a great example of why you should avoid hiring women.

Blogger Matt Drudge put up a headline at the top of his popular aggregation website The Drudge Report this afternoon that Ailes will exit the company with a “$40+ million parachute.” There is no link to a story, but a source subsequently told Deadline that Ailes is in exit talks, saying terms of the settlement are being hammered out tonight.

“With internal allegations mounting, it was deemed time for him to go,” the well-placed source said.

21st Century Fox, however, said in a statement: “Roger is at work  The review is ongoing. And the only agreement that is in place is his existing employment agreement.”

Ailes’ ouster comes after Fox News hostGretchen Carlson filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against him on July 6 after her contract was not renewed.

Ailes, the architect of the Fox News as a ratings behemoth and political force, in of June 2015, signed a multi-year contract to continue running Fox News, Fox Business Network, and Fox Television Stations.

Earlier this morning, Drudge linked a headline to today’s New York Magazine story,alleging Fox News star Megyn Kelly had told 21st Century Fox’s investigators that she had been the recipient of unwanted sexual advances from Ailes about a decade ago when she was a correspondent in the Washington bureau. But Drudge used a headline saying Kelly was twisting the knife into her boss.  That post, and headline,  from the wildly popular and influential conservative blogger got media reporters to sit up and take notice.

Perhaps I am more cynical than most, but how did Ailes not see that Megyn Kelly was trouble? There’s nothing wrong with hiring bimbos to read the news on TV, just as long as the bimbos are fine with being bimbos trading on their looks. Women like Kelly trade on their looks, but they are forever bitter about it. That bitterness curdles into a viscous nastiness that almost always leads to claims of discrimination or sexual harassment, when they don’t get what they want. Once again, the facts of life are turning out to be Trumpian.

The lesson here, of course, is to never hire women like Megyn Kelly. It’s like inviting Dracula into your house. No matter how much garlic you have around your neck, you still have a bloodthirsty vampire in your midst. A good rule of thumb is to hire homely women for positions of responsibility, preferably older women. They have no illusions about how males view them. For entry level work like clerks and paralegals, hire mothers as they need the job more than they need to strike a blow for the sisterhood. They are too practical to be feminists.

Otherwise, never hire a powerskirt.

Count me among them after 30 years in the work-force. I was just talking to my college-age daughter about this last night. She is slowly coming to that realization for herself, but I offered her my advice as well. I told her don’t fall for that feminist lie of men keeping you down and discriminating, The real trouble will ALWAYS come from other women!!!!

"..I know I'm right about beautiful women because I've been married to one for the last forty-eight years.."

Their brains don’t work right.

Their brains work differently. There's a book, In the Company of Women: Indirect Aggression Among Women: Why We Hurt Each Other and How to Stop, written for women by two women. It's about things like how women in the workplace tend to take things personally, hold grudges eternally, etc.

When I read it, my first impression was that any man who read this book would never want to hire a woman for any position of power or authority.

I gotta go "yes and no" on this article.

What's the difference between Megan and Sarah?

It's not the skirt, it's the soul.

It's not the hair, it's the heart.

You silly person, you should hire on competence. If you hire an incompetent person, male or female, they are going to try to make up the difference in unexpected and ultimately unpleasant ways.

Trump does well enough hiring pretty women, because he hires competent women.

“Sorry, this is not a vanity and I am not the author. But thanks for playing.”

You gotta put an author in there.. if you don’t know then just put “IDK” or something.

Plagiarism can sneak up on you.

Now, for my input - the statements are correct, but I’ve heard the same sort of rhetoric from the mouth of a musloid I knew long ago.

He bent this idea that if women are to be attractive, then they are trying to be attractive for themselves or a specific male. If not, then they can continue to be attractive (As many middle eastern women can be) but they must hide it so they can stop playing games with a man’s society.

A tough one to counter - I countered it with a turn-around on Islam but not women.

I’m a good lookin guy and I use it to my advantage whenever possible. When you have an asset you put it in play. If not then you’re not being a smart business person.

That said, I see the validity in all of these points. I’ve worked for women and HR departments ALWAYS have women in them. And it sucks because their minds aren’t for the horses in the field, their minds are for the chickens in the coop.

I have walked out of interviews when they said the sales manager was a woman. Told them straight up. ‘Been there, done that. Never again!’ Couldn’t pay me enough.

Good article, thanks for posting.

9YearLurker, due to insane copyright nonsense we are pretty much running out of things to even be able to post. Intellectual property warfare, you dig? See for yourself ...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1111944/posts

At some point all that will be left will be patriotic blogs and websites. Get used to it. The monolithic corporate unimedia will gobble up everything else in its path.

BTW, there are some very insightful pieces by that Z-man fellow. I posted some links to there in the past year myself. It is not the stereotypical intellectually lazy blog that someone would pimp.

About HR departments. I wonder why these companies simply don't shut them down and make employees sign waivers before getting hired to agree to wear their big boy pants and quit if they cannot hack it. "If you don't like it, work somewhere else". It is incredible that they let the state and feds dictate person-to-person behavior on private property.

It is almost like the loony leftists and their feminazi stormtroopers think George Orwell wrote instruction manuals and cookbooks rather than insightfully intelligent warnings.

“You gotta put an author in there.. if you don’t know then just put “IDK” or something.”

I did put something in the author section - his chosen pen name. I’m not sure what more I could have done short of hiring a private detective to track down the author’s real name.

I remember the HR ‘lessons’ we had to endure in management.
Best part of retirement is NEVER having to hold my tongue again.

If she sits down, well, let’s just say that there will be some views of things she didn’t mean to show off.

Who says?
