We were working out in the AZ desert and had a doublewide for a conference room, all kinds of dirt and debris was tracked in. As I arrived early, made the coffee and started sweeping out the trailers. A few minutes later my personal secretary (who was/is a fantastic girl Friday) walked in and I make like to hand her the broom. She gave me a dirty look saying “You expect me to do that?”
I replied, “Either sweep or fly home.”
She shook her head and moved on, and I continued to sweep. My philosophy was what ever needed to be done, do it.
True enough, but don’t forget all the bitter divorced guy trope rage-bait content.
After all, when clicks is all that matters - all bait is good bait.
One thing I love about being retired: no longer having to deal with 20-something women. I couldn’t stand them in my 20’s and still can’t.
The boss’s correct response should have been, “Because I said so”. That’s it.
If he needed to go further, it would seem to be true to him that, “I trust you to take the best notes of anyone on the team.”
If there’s an aggressive negotiation that needs to occur, I might send the most physically imposing dude in.
Play everyone to their strengths. There is no sexism in that.
When I held staff meetings, we all took notes. And the last item on the agenda was verifying key points, action items, and next steps. If it didn't come up at the end of the meeting, it didn't happen.
All that’s missing in the article are the PowerPoint slides from the HR training module (that you can complete from your desk).
And the purpose of men is to be the sustainer of his community and supporter and spiritual leader of his family. Most of them don't do that, either.
These days most women are defective men and most men are defective women.
Lol.
These days most women are defective men and most men are defective women.
It’s a mixed-up, muddled-up, shook-up world.
Sounds correct. Article directly from AI derived clickbait feminist propaganda mill.
I can not and will not disagree with that thought.
The conclusion must be that we have to return to the basics of humanity as defined by Christianity.
I am married to a strong Type A woman who before retirement was a chief executive. I do not believe that women should not strive to achieve. I know that both roles can exist in the same person
My spouse is VP of HR for a Fortune 100 company.
Prior to this job she was a VP of HR within one of the Big 3 automakers.
Although this particular example may be fabricated, there are more egregious recent stories out there.
Examples I’ve heard in past year;
* A manager that only sent women to a specific required training course because the men were too busy.
* A director that refused to hire women and actively tried to move women out of his department.
* A manager that had too much to drink on a work trip and started hitting on a female that reported to him.
* A director that filed a reverse discrimination claim in HR that he was passed over for a job that went to a woman. The woman had more years of service, an advanced degree above his, and had higher evaluation scores.
And many more.
With millions of people out there, there are a lot these cases happen.
I agree in part with your conclusion that her boss shouldn't necessarily have been fired, but a lot is missing from the story. Maybe he had other defects and this was just the latest; maybe he became dismissive or combative with HR and things escalated. Barring those probabilities, they could have assigned him to soviet re-education or put him on probation. People of either sex who are that dumb in a professional workplace in 2025 are rarely able to pull up in time before letting their resentment overtake reason.
Workplaces are a pecking order. She was right not to accept being the "low man" on the totem pole because of sexual stereotyping.
“ I am always pleased when I see that my grocery or fast food order is being delivered by a woman. In our experience, women actually read and follow delivery instructions, figure out how to get into the building and find the elevator, etc. We’ve had a problem only once with a female; many times with the males.
Because the males refuse to ask for directions. ;)
women have destroyed the workplace ... and the USA ...
"Woman ruins man's life over minor sexist infraction that caused her a slight inconvenience."
And the revenge is applauded by the media, of course.
Good example of why men have no desire to have women at the workplace.
“Workplaces are a pecking order.”
That is correct.
The problem is the double standards—particularly in large organizations.
As a practical matter women are not held to the same standards as men. Men are expected to do the dirty and messy jobs without complaint.
Minorities are not held to the same standards as whites (or Asians). Whites (or Asians) are expected to solve the complex and stressful problems without complaints.
If you even discuss those issues you are done.

I agree in principle. I contend that ever since the introduction of "The Pill", both sexes have become like gay men.
At last! We agree completely!
