Here it is, plain and simple, the only thing you business majors need to know about promotions: Men make better managers.
Now ladies… what do you think about that statement? What would you say if I told you that I had extensive generalities and assumptions to back it up? What if I wrote something like that in a newspaper or magazine?
Yep. You’re right… I’d be killed. The man-hating feminazis would line up at my door and spend all of five minutes ripping my scrawny little body limb from limb. But, see, I don’t think I’d make a statement like that. Granted, I do think that there are some advantages to men as managers (and, as with everything, some disadvantages) but let’s think about this… who gets pregnant and needs maternity leave? There are more, but that’s not what I’m here to bitch about right this second.
You see… it’s just stupid to say “Men make better managers” or “Women make better managers” believe it or not, these things are just as dumb as saying “White people make better managers” or “Asians make better managers.” Whatever, it’s all pointless drivel… YET if a guy were to even seriously TRY to make the point that men are better managers, he’d be a labeled chauvinist pig and put on the top of the National Feminazi Hit-list.
That’s why I firmly believe that Joanna Krotz of MSN is a moron. She decided to write a little article for MSN entitled Why women make better managers. But, you see, I’m not even going to take the time to argue with the woman… my point isn’t that Men are better managers. My point, to make a long story short, is that if this article had been written with the other argument in mind, it’d be dismissed as archaic, sexist, and ignorant.
Why is it that some people are of the all too ignorant opinion that women can’t be sexist and minorities can’t be racist?

I had a feminazi (not a feminist, since I clasify them differently) as a TA once. She marked a paper I wrote a B even though it deserved an A. Her reason? There is no such thing as reverse descrimination, even though all my sources were well-known minorities with varying college degrees.
She once even made us watch Thelma and Louis to write a paper. Suffice it to say that I totally trashed the movie and squeeked out of that class with a high B.

I, too, classify them differently. We actually had \”diversity\” courses for professors at the university here where a primary component was indoctrination that minorities cannot be racist. It\’s just absurd.

Pete…your thought on this one are right on. The indoctrination process of which you speak absolutely exists and in my opinion actually weakens the diversity of a society.
