A man never had to choose between a career and children. No man was ever asked to leave a job because a woman might need it to support her family.<br><br>My own parents told me not to go to college because I was taking the place of a man who needed an education, and they kept me out of law school with the same argument. <br><br>We have come a long way, baby, and we don't hate men. We just try to get along with them, equally. Some of them treat us equally, some just want to know what color our underwear is. <br><br>I hate when I hear a woman say she doesn't want a woman boss. That is so degrading to the woman saying it.

When we promoted a male candidate to management last year the female candidate had less time with the company, less time in the field, scored lower on the assessment tests, and scored lower in the interviews (in which 3 of 4 interviewers was female). Yet after we promoted him, she complained it was because he was male and she was a female. <br><br>So yes discrimination occurs. But just because a male applicant is chosen over a female is not a prima facie case of discrimination. So when someone complains they were discriminated against, I like to ask them questions to probe further, because some people are just "externalizing". It's just like the white guys saying they didn't get into college because of affirmative action.

Too many people forget how recent that history is. <br><br>As far as I'm concerned, the good news is that people can complain of discrimination and someone has to listen. You can call it not being accountable for their shortcomings when they do not get the job.<br><br>I look at the complaint as one way to make sure that companies are held accountable for their hiring practices.<br><br>It also sounds like the woman in your example wasn't told why she didn't get the job.<br><br>Mrs. LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516392886578064543.post-19933004218148555152006-07-03T15:22:00.000-05:002006-07-03T15:22:00.000-05:00My mom was one of the nicest women I've ever k...My mom was one of the nicest women I've ever known. She was quiet, shy and extremely reticent, but that didn't keep her from noticing how women were discriminated against, and from talking with me about it. My mom worked in a factory...this was in Minnesota, in the early 60's...and although she didn't smoke, so it didn't affect her, it irritated her that the men employed by the factory were allowed to smoke, but the women weren't. The men got 30 minute breaks, the women 15. Don't even ask about the pay rate...of course, the men were paid more. They were doing the same work...assembly line work...but the men were treated much better than the women, there was no question about it. And back then, in the dark ages, before the Civil Rights Act was passed, in Minnesota, teachers weren't allowed to be married. Neither were stewardesses. I could go on and on, but I know that you know what I'm talking about. Too bad "I don't know where you're coming from" doesn't.<br><br>Excellent post.<br><br>JudiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
