“According to Myers, women create a nurturing, idyllic work environment...”

I’d guess she’s never worked for a woman. I’ve worked for both men and women over the past 35-40 years, and women by far create the most hateful, shallow, abusive work environment.

That picture makes me think she's been hanging with Susan Estrich, for some reason.

And, IIRC, she is/was a trustee of some UC college that likes to violate the First Amendment as well as the deny equal protection to students.

I used to think Dee Dee was cute,

I'd still hit her :-)

In fact, I've never seen a "nurturing, idyllic work environment" in any company.

BOTH of my bosses are women and they are worse than any male boss I've ever had at forming consensus. In fact, they are so concerned with CYA they could care less about consensus.

...every place I’ve worked, including the present one, had different factions of women who were at extreme odds with each other. I know two ex close female friends who had their workplace friendship ended because one of them got somewhat better working hours. The bitterness I’ve witnessed between different female groups makes me conclude that the idea that females are more cooperative than males is bunk.

Here's my example: Currently, my company is reallocating office space and giving up one-half of a floor in our building. Walking around on the remaining six full floors, it is obvious that we have an ample number of empty cubicles to accomodate that half-floor of workers.

So, we analyzed how the personnel of each department were currently sited in the worksace and came up with a tighter, more efficient configuration. And there was much rejoicing.

The back-slapping came to screeching halt when it was noticed that two departments (which logistically should be co-located), currently at opposite ends of the space that's being released, were going to be "next-door neighbors" in the new plan.

That wa unacceptable, because apparently the women who head up those departments are mortal enemies. Neither would consider being forced to work so near the other. Worse yet, management bowed to this nonsense and said "back to the drawing board".

I've worked with men who disliked one another, too - but never anything like this. It's like working for the Bureau of Prisons, having to keep a database of which people to keep separated.

I have it on good authority that when she was at the White House she would wear short skirts with NO underpants!

"Heh, heh, maybe you'd like me to toss your salad Dee Dee?"

I absolutely do NOT want a President who spends time looking for “concensus” on any particular problem.

When my car is heading for a crash, I don’t want to be polling others to see if brakes or steering adjustments are the correct solution.

I want a President who can make a decision, and stick to it. I don’t think either Hillary or Obama are capable of this.

A rare occurance indeed.

So is there any chance Dee Dee WAS gay and the overpowering charisma of the Bent One got her to change teams?

According to Myers, women create a nurturing, idyllic work environment... “

The very worst supervisor I ever had was female. She didn’t know accounting, and had slept her way to the position. She was awful to work for, as she always took credit for the efforts of her “subjects” and we were constantly catching and correcting her errors. I made sure I never worked for another woman.

I have to reluctantly agree. I would much rather work with a group of men than women, one of the reasons I liked the Navy, usually. You always know where you stand with men, there is no sniping and backstabbing and they don’t hold grudges about the smallest things for freakin’ EVER. They can also make a decision without evaluating it to death, and then evaluating it some more and then changing their minds, and then changing them back...

I’ve had a lot of experience in recent years working with homeschool groups and Girl Scout troops. Oh. My. Goodness. Being petty, petty, petty, taking offense at anything and everything and making mountains out of molehills are the main pasttimes. Give me a group of men to work with any day.

That's interesting. How would you feel about a man named "Scooter"?

Myers is a skank compared to Dana Perino

Simply put, Myers is a female supremacist. "Women tend to be better communicators, better listeners, better at forming consensus," she argues. That entitles women to run the world because they do everything better than those power-hungry men, Myers believes.

So she is a Betty Fridan/Gloria Steinem type, eh????

Turning on Hillary was not a swift career move!

Judgement and IQ are not Dee Dee’s best qualities!
