Women kept out of high-paid finance jobs because they’re squeamish about money, says Minister Liz Truss

Our thanks to Mike P for this. An extract:

Chief Secretary to the Treasury Liz Truss said macho culture in the City might be putting women off top roles and called for a shake-up. [J4MB:… or might not be?]

What exactly is “macho culture”? A competitive culture, in which men tend to do better than women, because more men than women are work-centred (by a ratio of 4:1, according to Dr Catherine Hakim’s Preference Theory), and are therefore more likely to compete and therefore succeed?

Liz Truss is the Chief Secretary to the Treasury. In a more sane world, she’d do nothing more demanding than looking after the office plants. No man with such limited abilities would be appointed a minister.

We don’t need more female MPs.

If everyone who read this gave us £10.00 – or even better, £10.00 or more, monthly – we could change the world. Click here to make a difference. Thanks.
