Actually not so ridiculous if not exaggerated, but just a bit.

Women in the main have yet to learn how to handle authority. They tend to be extremely sensitive to any perceived slight or challenge to their authority and over react.

Those not in a position of authority tend to be cliquish with other women and allied against males in general in their work place. I have personally witnessed on more then one occassion women charge men with sexual harrassment for something as innoccuous as a compliment on their appearance (I was a witness, the man said, “Wow, you really look sensational”. There was no warnong to this guy, the woman didn't ask him to not say things like that in the future, she never sought to peacefully settle what she believed was harassment but immediately complained to management.

Her attempt at bringing the roof down on the guy failed because there was a witness and the comment was a harmless one and in the least suggestive.

My point is women use their sexuality as they have throughout the ages to make their way in the world. They claim to want equality but what they really want is to be afforded all the rights men have PLUS be given special treatment because they are the “weaker sex”

So based on your personal experience you support a broad brush statement to which I posted a response and state that it was just a bit of an exaggeration?

I can provide you with specific examples that I have both witnessed and experienced in my professional career which extends from females with a chip on their shoulder to unprofessional immature males.

This has never resulted in me using a broad brush to paint all males in the workplace as perverts or all females as looking for a way to claim harassment.

If you would like to have a discussion about character, personal responsibility and performance by both males and females in the work place as well as the differences between males and females and how they perform including females use of "sexuality" and males use of "strength and stature" to move forward in their careers, I would happily have that philosophical discussion.

This article highlighted disgusting behavior by unprofessional people. The generalization of “females” ruining the workplace vs. people both males and females who don't understand appropriate professional behavior is what I was responding to and I still stand by my response that the statement was ridiculous.
