Never Hire a Powerskirt

Interesting read.

The same concept could apply to anyone, who is trying to push some political or social agenda.

Maybe some fields are more prone to this than others? I’ve worked in the accounting and financial area for decades, with many women colleagues over the years. I never had any problems working for or with any of them. Maybe the discipline of an area like finance, precludes pushing the agenda????

A good rule of thumb is to hire homely women for positions of responsibility, preferably older women. They have no illusions about how males view them. For entry level work like clerks and paralegals, hire mothers as they need the job more than they need to strike a blow for the sisterhood. They are too practical to be feminists.

I don't know about that. Remember Andrea Dworkin? Remember the SJW prof who needed "some muscle" to stifle free speech on campus? I've seen some homely feminists.

I liked the assessment of the modern HR department - very accurate!

What a pathetic “vanity”.

So you shouldn’t hire a competent woman if she’s attractive because PC HR is out of control?

By that standard, you shouldn’t hire black blacks, Hispanic Hispanics, or gay gays either.

Why don’t you go crawl back into whatever hole you slithered your way out of?

This is almost the exact (though, of course, unspoken) policy my former employer followed. We never had any feminist political outbursts, and men and women got along well at our office.

I don’t think this gal would be able to sit down in that outfit.

[Blennos]

But I’d like to see her try.

Sorry, this is not a vanity and I am not the author. But thanks for playing.

I suspect you are righrt about the discipline of the fields. The more touchy-feely fields have even more of this. Read, teaching. Don’t get me started.

Universities and Colleges have a whole different set of guidelines.

Woe onto him that has a female boss. I’ve cut job interviews short when I found out the engineering manager was a female. Been down that road a couple of times. Never again.

"Never Hire a Powerskirt"

"If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife."

That notion could be applied just as well to the workplace: If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never let a pretty woman into your life.

In my long life, I've found beautiful women to be spoiled, accustomed to having their way, vindictive, and easily offended if things don't go exactly to their liking.

I know I'm right about beautiful women because I've been married to one for the last forty-eight years.

[P.O.E.]

If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife.

What is wrong with a little skirt.

With the last wacko phb-ette from a few years ago, I am very wary of female supervisors.

I have run into some very good female boss types but they tend to be rare.
