No man could say that.

This compels the casual observer to want to ask, why?
Women like strong men. No surprise here.
It adds: “Female participants predicted that the male candidate would show a more laissez-faire leadership style than the female candidate would.”
I've worked in women-dominated workplaces much of my adult life. Many more women than men have been micromanagers, or, to put it more tastelessly, control freaks. A fair number of the men I've worked with have simply allowed me to do my job and trusted that I would do it well. A fair number of the women I've worked with have excelled in manipulation and office politics.
Katherine Rake, director of the Fawcett Society which campaigns for sexual equality, said stereotyping was more important than female rivalry in holding back women’s careers: “Stereotypes about what is an appropriate role for women are still very strong in people’s minds and there is still a cultural barrier to women making it into senior positions.”
Feminists are clueless about human nature. No surprises here, either.
My head hurts trying to follow the logic of this study & this article.
Seems to me if the study really proves that most women in management positions discriminate on the basis of perceived competitiveness, then those women must be making the correct decisions when they refuse to promote other women, who are in turn more likely to be poor managers as well..
I mean, they KNOW that a majority of women tend to be poor decision makers because THEY are poor decision makers.
Or is the study concluding that most women managers are making POOR decisions about other women when they conclude they would be poor managers even though most women managers are making poor decisions because of competitiveness?
See what I mean? My head hurts.
Hmmm
I don't know about females holding back females but the queen bee syndrome and female rivalry in the workplace is rampant and very obvious. Females spend much of their time watching other females, males like to watch the females too.
My office queen bee prefers to promote women over men. At one point in time she was discriminated against by a white male.
I'm a man and I've said it many times. That's why most career women prefer to work for men.
Can I believe that one!!! I had a female boss at one time and it was the most miserable time of my employment. Everything I did was *usurping* her authority. If I made decisions while she was on vacation, I was usurping her authority; if I didn't I wasn't showing enough initiative and ambition, which was used against me at promotion time. I just couldn't win. A female with an agenda can be the nastiest creature around.
No surprises, to me.
An old teacher had this sitting on her desk.
"The best man for a job is usually a woman."
I've had my fair share of queen bees.
Very nasty, controlling, backstabbing people.
I think it is just plain old female competitiveness, or the old fashion words were jealousy and envy!
I love it! If a man does a certain thing it's SEXISM (he's probably a cruel, evil, mean spirited REPUBLICAN), but when a WOMAN commits the same act, it needs a different (and, note, less damning) name. The libs have finally gone completely wacko.
I have worked for both men and women. I can tell you that hands down I would rather work for a man than a woman.
It has nothing to do with capability. It has to do with micromanagement and the way MOST women deal with other human beings.
This is a gross generalization, and there are, of course, exceptions to the rule.
I have known about this since I entered the workforce. The dirty little secret is that women can be competitive amongst themselves; including in the workplace. I have seen women be more mean to one another in the workplace than men being mean to women.
I'm not a bit surprised. The female bosses I've had have tended to treat male co-workers and underlings very well while treating the other females like crap.
That's because most women bosses are catty b*tches to their female subordinates.
I'd much rather have a man as my boss.
From what I've seen of women in the workplace, most of them are at each others throats. It's no surprise to me that they establish a reign of terror against the other women once they get into a position of power. Being a man-hater is accepted and encouraged, so they're just continuing the status quo there.
