Dunno about women talking too much, but I once had two women square off against each other in business meeting - one was trying to hit the other with her shoe.
Bloody scary stuff - made testosterone-fuelled, BSD Directors look like wimps.

Sounds like you were quite a demanding boss.

I wish.
EDIT: They were both quite hot, as I recall. One was a tall willowy blonde, the other a petite, very fit dancer.

Mori is the biggest f#ckwit ever. How he got the gig is beyond me.

well well well, how the turntables
It appears the Qld police, in their efforts to achieve 50% female recruitment, ended up blocking 200 more qualified male candidates from graduating. Six women graduating despite not making the grade to even enter the academy.
The Crime and Corruption Commission have given them a whack, and 3 people look to have lost their jobs (wait, just suspended). You would imagine not the 3 who made the policy decision though.

I often wonder why the push for 50/50 representation never seems to apply to primary schools?
I thought it did? I don’t know about right now but for some time there has been a push to get more male primary school teachers.
Or have I misunderstood? -

Or have I misunderstood?A push - as in no extra benefits or incentives.

Or sewerage workers......
After 5 years working with the local water authority am astonished at the lack of effort to balance he 100% dominance of male workers at the sewage plants.

I got to witness first hand the dressing down of a Male teacher in a primary school by the female principal over the discovery in the unisex toilets of a seat left up and this was in the middle of the main hallwayIt is my opinion that they may "want" more male teachers but they don't all want their values

Or have I misunderstood?Dunno. Go into any primary school in Aus or NZ and glance at the staff photo board. That'll tell you all you need to know about gender equality as a priority.

As the study I posted above indicates, males face discrimination when trying to apply for jobs like that. It's the exact opposite of attempting to achieve quotas the way they are in other areas for females. They don't even get an interview a lot of the time.
