Yep, when I was a consultant, back when we had to wear suits, the girls in our group were not allowed to wear dresses - made them look like secretaries.

That line bothered me. They are not saying all women are crazy, they’re just saying over time they are likely to run into ONE woman who is crazy and/or malicious, and the consequences of that happening are too high to take the risk.

“Why would anyone in a position of power hire a woman knowing she could blackmail him or get him fired with a fake charge.”

I read the article, waiting for her to broach the topic of fake charges, but she did not.

She only talked about men being afraid, but refused to really explain what they are afraid of.

Just one fake charge now can destroy a business. And what use to be dealt with with a rebuke or a slap now requires a million dollars to heal the woman’s sensitivities.

Probably hurts them across all employment opportunities. Caring companies will be double guessing and non-caring companies just will hire men.

All a woman has to do is claim you touched her butt and you are fired with no recourse. She said, you’re fired. Who wants to be in that situation?

our credit union is the opposite. Tons of staff, but usually 1 or 2 customers tops, unless it is payday.

That’s so on point! Even when I wear dresses, I always wear a jacket on top, but it doesn’t have the same feel as an elegant suit. I love a nice pair of flowey trousers and a longish jacket. This is NOT the same pantsuit that Hillary wears... I don’t even know where she acquires the outfits she seems to find. I swear I could have done a much better job dressing her.

The whole wear what you want and no one is allowed to criticize you, thanks to the slut walk movement has created some very ill-informed young people. You can throw getting too many tattoos and dying your hair a distracting hair color in with the lack of sensibility with dress style.
At least men with tattoos used to understand you only put them where they can’t be seen if youre fully dressed.

I’ve been in big organizations where truly ugly women seduced fat ugly bosses.

Talk about ego elevation. Don’t dare say anything negative about the absolute **** secretaries the boss’ squeeze hires. Oh, and never mind they were both married.

In the other, FatBoy’s equally fat ugly wife was leaving him, and there’s no way in hades any decent looking woman would want him. So he takes up with ugly cowgirl, who’s ex was a rodeo clown. Get the picture?

Next thing we all know, she’s drunk at Girls Night Out (on the firm’s AMEX card) and telling everyone who’s going to get fired soon.

Eventually upper management had no choice but to run them off as the numbers of quality employees they had run off became too great to bear.

That is very true, although I’ve seen quite a few gay young men thrown in there.
If there’s one company I have found that does a great job training young people for future corporate jobs, it’s enterprise rental car.

It’s doing to women what McCabe and Comey and company did to the FBI - making the whole look bad because of the “leaders” (activists)...

Identity politics will hurt anyone who embraces the ideology in normal companies and businesses. All the snowflakes need to go to Twitter, Google and Facebook. They will run them out of business.

I completely agree. We have a dress code but few follow it. Now that the some management is coming from the millennial pool, they see nothing the matter with what some wear.

It’s harming their chances in Romance. I can’t tell you about Finance.

Most women expect men to be the initiators and risk-takers while they sit and judge. It’s reaching the point where even asking a woman out can be misjudged into a criminal act. Therefore, men stop asking.

“Why isn’t she complaining about government jobs such as teachers with good pensions and benefits that are predominantly filled by women?”

Probably because she is in the financial business and this is published in the Harvard Business Review. Now, if she were a teacher/professor and the publication were the Chronicle of Higher Education, well, then, “Bob’s your uncle” as they say.

All women are crazy? No.

Enough that it’s dancing in a minefield? Yes.
