“...19% of men would be reluctant to hire an attractive woman....”
****************************************
As the old song goes “If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, get an ugly woman to be your employee.” Maybe I’m not remembering it exactly correctly. ;-)

In the USAR, I had a clerk/typist assigned to me. On her third drill I had to let her go.

She asked, "Why, am I not doing a good job for you?"

I replied, "Your work is excellent, so I'll give very high marks on your evaluation. But, You're very much too pretty to have in my section, I've noticed I can't keep our Captain away from you. So for the good of the section, and YOUR safety, I'll have you reassigned away from our lecher."

Your post reminds me on these lines from Rudyard Kipling’s poem The Young British Soldier.

“Now, if you must marry, take care she is old “A troop-sergeant’s widow’s the nicest I/m told “For beauty won’t help if your rations are cold, “Nor love ain’t enough for a soldier “Nough, nough, nough for a solder

About the NFL, my annual letters I now include this one for September

Our National Anthem

The Star-Spangled Banner provides the majestic musical/visual symbol of the Constitution I swore to support and defend as a Navy officer. My indefinitely binding oath requires standing for the National Anthem and kneeling to pray for the country.

The NFL, ESPN, And Nike endorse the offense of kneeling when the anthem is played to disparage the country and to support social justice illusions. But veterans understand settling genuine grievances requires revering the essence of our country and trusting in the freedoms it represents.

We are aware that when armed forces members make the ultimate sacrifice they are wrapped in the Star-Spangled Banner in remembrance of freedom. When America’s fallen arrive at Dover Air Force Base from the Middle East their caskets are covered with a Star-Spangled Banner. When they are buried the flag is removed, elegantly folded, and given to a spouse, child, sibling, or parent.

Previously success was defined by marriage, raising kids, career, etc. Now a fashionable consensus defines success around one group adjusting behaviors to validate the emotional damage others have decided to inflict upon themselves for endless perceived slights. The instigators gain a prestige lacking dreams to pursue or accomplishment to celebrate. The subservient parties acquire costless moral superiority by holding themselves and the country in disgust.

I will always choose success through the hazards and uncertainties of personal freedom over sheltering within codependent relationships. This country needs “a new birth of freedom” to remain faithful to the Constitution as the embodiment of the American ideal.
