Maybe he was telling the truth. This is a different kind of death by blog.

When Rather put up the phone memos, blogs exposed the truth.

It's possible in this case that the man was telling the truth, but the PC outrage in the blogs makes it impossible to tell the truth and survive.

Yep. Unless you want to believe the liberal lie about rampant sexism, you have to take his side in this.

I agree. I have worked with many outstanding women. Some women do make it to the top, and they undoubtably deserve to. But perhaps the number of women who deserve to make it that far is small.

On the TV show "The Apprentice" it's always interesting to see the differences between the men and the women. Many women show signs of self-destructive behavior in a competitive environment.

Um, no. The creative industry is an entrenched old-boy's network. Women are commonly excluded not because of the quality of their work, but because "that's the way it is." Read Nancy's remarks here.

You would have to first read her blog entry before you make those conclusions. I couldn't even post tghe entire article. I hope someone posts it. Maybe I will find it later.

I'm with you on this one. It is entirely possible that the majority of women just don't have what it takes to do well in this environment. Instead of these pc morons freaking out as they do in knee jerk fashion, why don't they try to actually prove the man wrong? Can they PROVE there has been discrimination? If not then what's left is women simply cannot do this particular sort of work as well as men.

My thoughts as well.

That may be true. But, unless another blog which thinks this is just more pc bs, wants to run with it and get the figures and expose it for what it is, the guy is just out of luck for stating the facts.

Their "Do what I say - not what I do" hypocrisy was exposed. F'em - regardless of whether or not it is true.
