Tolerance vs Exhibitionism

[Thryleon]

You are right, in the ideal world, there should be no need for 'forced' equality.  But unfortunately, the real world doesn't quite work in an ideal manner.

Problem is, the 'best candidate' is judged by those who have their own set of prejudices, so there is the strong likelihood that equality will remain nothing but lip-service unless there is a more directed imperative to overcome those prejudices.  If you have ever worked in a 'boys club' environment, you will know exactly what I mean.

I kind of do.  Or at least its perceived to be that way.

Thing is, I dont know how true it is.

The other side of it is this, we are dangerously close to actually creating the next group of boys clubs in people who are sick of being unfairly treated because they simply are men.



I fall into that category.  Im a white male according to these females, but I have never been treated like one, given I grew up with a surname ending in opoulos.  That privildge doesnt exist for all people, but here I am working in a male dominated industry (it was like that in univeristy) and seeing a disproportionate number of females working in senior management roles, that a lot of the people I work with cant hope to get because they are men.  It sounds ridiculous, but thats the world we live in.  Information technology is an industry where the best way to get promoted is simply being female.

Corporate white male has been generalised to white male, when it should probably have been narrowed to corporate psychopath(genderless).

I know a woman who made it nearly to the very top of the tree, one rung below the very top of the corporate ladder, think head of a bank or economy. She will tell you in private her biggest obstacles and the people she trusted less were other corporate females, who seemed to spend more time throwing rocks and placing obstacles than the men, and she is more qualified to comment than the vast majority! She will never state this in public because of the vindictive feminist toll it would take on her charities and philanthropy.

But to me that is just an indication that corporate psychopaths are self-organising and self-sustaining, there would be just as many male corporate psychopaths taking advantage of any perceived inequity.

Said it many times ... how many females absolutely dominate HR management roles.

Ain't met anyone of them yet that impressed me.  I'll take that saucer of milk now

Had some good female CEO's but never any good female HR heads of dept.....Human was not a word I would have associated with most of them. Most too busy trying to climb the corporate tree rather than listening/replying to questions from the pleb workers.

We had a ripper HR Manager once upon a time, compassionate and was all about the people. She managed to a find a loophole for me which resulted in me getting a bucket load of extra LSL. When the company shut our office down, my redundancy and LSL payout looked extra bloody good thanks to her.
