Drama?!?

More like massive legal bills.

Permanently damaged reputation - even if cleared.

And a multi year ordeal in court.

Let’s say a lead singer of a rock band is performing in front of an audience. A woman rushes on stage, something those of us have witnessed at concerts in years and decades past, can she be charged with sexual assault if she gropes the performer? It is the new America after all.

(repeat post, from a moment ago)

A fried of mine works in a small tech company, which is all male. Their lawyers told them to keep it that way - in no uncertain terms, given the all-male banter...unless they want to be fighting lawsuits.

They’re still small enough to not have to deal with the feds, so they’re staying all-male as long as possible.

Great idea until some gal decides she wants attention and crashes their place.

It’s like mens clubs.....woman weren’t happy with their own clubs they just had to crash into the world of mens clubs....but then womens clubs are pretty awful to begin with.

IF...I was an VP..or an executive..I would not hire a woman..to be my spokes person or anything.

Unless it was my wife..or one of my daughters..........

The good thing is....I don't need anyone to help me....Nor talk for me...nor shop for me.

“That has happened to blacks to some degree, where their poor performance in Universities that set aside a number of slots for Black Americans, ended up filling those positions with more reliable Black African and Caribbean immigrants - who are grateful and hard working students.”

Sad regarding blacks. Thomas Sowell has written about this. You have a black student who worked very, very hard through high school, is smarter than 99% of white students, but not smarter than 99.99% of white students, so not smart enough to get into Harvard with juicing his application.

But Harvard needs him, mainly to use a prop in their promotional materials, and also to keep Jesse Jackson and the feds off their backs, so they accept him - knowing he’ll likely buckle. So he’s in over his head and drops out, making him angry and wrongly blaming it on racism.

Had that same person gone to a still-excellent school, say University of Texas, he would have done great and would be off to a great life and great career.

“Really, please explain to us how to screen out snowflakes without engendering a lawsuit?”

Ask them to name 5 components of an automobile braking system. If they cannot, they’re a snowflake, so move on to the next candidate.

“Great idea until some gal decides she wants attention and crashes their place.”

They’ve been doing it for at least several years. But yep, you do need to be small enough so that they have to figure out a way to obtain data without any freebies from government (like an EEOC investigation to pull out data - showing they’re all male). In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me if they have a few girlfriends pose in their promotional materials as decoys.

In any case, unless a particular woman is tipped off about them, and then is reasonably qualified to work there, they don’t need to worry about lawsuits...since no lawyer will take it up, unless paid upfront.

I remember decades ago in college at ESU I said something like “Ever since we gave women the right to vote, we haven’t had a decent president”

I still remember the howls and snarls from the feminists there. Thankfully we still had a reasonable degree of free speech back then, so that was about all they could do.

I am a ‘she’....and I would not hire a woman. I’ve barely stood just working with some...and manged others. So I wouldn’t be interested in hiring a woman ‘in Business’....there are precious few of those that don’t bring all their Home issues into the workplace. That make demands instead of resolving issues...and need someone to hold their hand thru most everything.

1. If it has tits or tires it’s going to give u trouble.

2. If it was not what is between it’s legs there would be a bounty on it’s head.

3. Anything that bleeds for 7 days and does not die cannot be trusted.

Not everybody has the resources to fight back, when the justice system is a prosecutor’s game. While you have to keep a defense lawyer on eternal standby, a prosecutor can keep your file closed until he decides to reopen it.

Sounds like a friend I knew who was tired of interviews without getting hired. Fed up she was being interviewed at a legal firm...The Attorney asked her why she wanted to work there...she replyed...”Because I need a f****G job!” He hired her before the interview was over. LOLOLOL Last I knew she was still working for that Firm.

There’s a huge difference between working for and with men over that of women. There’s none of the drama nor the excuses working with men. They’re specific about what they expect and don’t pussy foot around getting to the point. ...most of all they don’t let it go to their head they’re the boss.

I could go on with that list....
