Why Most Women Will Never Become CEO

Rant follows.

The first page of this article made me feel physically ill. The second page just made me feel sorry for these people. Where does this guy work?

Apparently, one of the girls’ boyfriends at the theatre had made a remark about another girl’s makeup in the group. He thought she looked - hot. Oh boy.

Why else wear makeup?

The [boys'] ride home was filled with laughter, profanity, burps, flatulence and a few head slaps.

I've been on trips with high school girls where all of this happened, plus some really inappropriate "truth-or-dare" questions. Anyway, what part of that is sexist?

Words, thoughts and important points are missed because of a new perfume or a low cut blouse.

Trust me, if I could turn that off, I would. If I could ask the woman to wear more considerate clothing at work, I would. That really bothers me.

Men don’t have this kind of instinctual tug. Let’s face it: unless there’s beer involved, men don’t have many instincts at all.

Complete bullshit. Remember this from a few days ago? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3149170 "And by God, he was right. I wouldn't just throw myself under a bus for my baby, I'd happily throw my wife under that bus too - without the slightest hesitation." No instincts, my ass.

We figure our wives will ultimately handle these things. And in many cases, they just do.

That's not instincts, you idiot. It took years of training and a large support network for your wife to learn how to "take care of things" like that.

Men can sprinkle profanity in their conversation and it endears them as one of the folks.

The guys I know who swear at work tend to be more circumspect around women. But I never noticed any particular backlash against women swearing.

Men can date women thirty years younger and get high fives from their peers. As much as many women would like to do that they just won’t.

Those men are asses. Sure we might laugh about it, but they're still asses. And it contradicts your own next paragraph:

we joke about the woman teacher that had a one-nighter with the high school football player. And then we’re enraged by the male teacher who did the same thing with one of his female students.

Both teachers are in the wrong and should be trusted not to take advantage of students.

[Women] could never comment on the looks of a fellow co-worker.

Dear jackass,

You're a misogynist and a liar. You not only linked to that blog out of the billions of blogs in the world, but you also linked to it with approval that you later edited out of your post (something along the lines of this link is controversial but it shouldn't be). Grow the fuck up and at least own your feudal beliefs.

I'm not sure if it's a law or just a policy, but the dress code might not be enforced in a gender-specifc way. For example: a guy was annoyed that the dress code disallowed him to wear shorts, so he protested by wearing a short skirt, which was allowed by the dress code. Definitely a double standard.
