    • Blimey!! Who could have guessed that women prefer to remove themselves from stressful situations to protect their fertility, and that they get really depressed when there’s a disconnect between what they imagined wielding the levers of power would be like, and the reality?

      This means that even men like Starmer aren’t (quite) as big wooses as women in power.

  1. “In both cases, the CEO role came during a moment of instability that would prove difficult to overcome.” Surely the whole reason for appointing a CEO is to lead the company through the ups and downs of an every changing business environment. Not to be administrators of an unchanging bureaucracy. Of course this is what the feminist argument is, that top jobs in what appear to be very stable bureaucratic large businesses being reserved for their sistas. Yet even in public services what one saw in the pandemic and aftermath was “top” women leaving due to stress, need to find balance, to prioritise family. To be replaced by men, up for dealing with the “challenges” of a new reality. If one reads this straight it makes the case very clearly that women need to be put in sinecures because when things get tough they can’t cope! In fact they have made a very good case for any dynamic or competitive company to pass over women!

    • Spot on! Women seem to believe that everything should be provided for them, even success…. that they should pull down big salaries simply by being there, administering systems which men built. God forbid that they should be faced with challenges!! They see that as misogyny, and ‘evidence’ that men have conspired to stack the cards against them!

      The basic problem with women in the workplace is that they take their expectations of the domestic situation with them – that men should labour, then hand over the fruits of their labours, so that women can administer them, and profit from them.

      They forget that men only acquiesce to such an arrangement for a sexual reward. Obviously, this is only applicable in a domestic situation…. or is it?? Look at Nina diSesa’s book, ‘Seducing the Boys’ Club’. And being ‘friendly’ with Willie Brown did no harm to the career of Kamala Harris. Apparently.

      The number of women CEOs in Fortune 500 Companies fell from 32 in 2017 to 24 in 2018, and the main reason was ‘the poor performance of the incumbents.’ Yet, despite this, male feminists ride to the rescue, and say that Companies should be more tolerant of women’s priority towards their families.

      Two points: 1) Women should decide where their priorities lie. They can’t have their cake and eat it.

      2) It’s almost as though men don’t have families.

      • Frankly I think they do 1. The Swedes did a lot of research a decade ago into why women were so rare in senior positions even in their overwhelmingly female public sector. What they found was that women a. Choose public sector work precisely because there is a lot of time off and all sorts of special leave in addition to maternity. b. Staying at middle management gives a good salary with less responsibility and less expectation to go above and beyond that more senior management so women tend to settle for this comfortable combination of income and limited demands. C. In public services it is possible to be a middle manager and part time earning a good salary with limited time constraints. Perfectly rational choices if you prioritise “work/life” balance. Made all the more possible if you have a male partner working f/t ! Taking this research the then feminist Gov. Made the logical policy decision that to equalise things men would have to work less and less hard. Hence a variety of policies to get men to take parental leave and other forms of time off. These policies have done little to change things. Sweden’s remains one of the most sex segregated workforce in the world, still has very few women in senior positions outside politics and public services, still has much longer working hours in their private sector than the public sector and most of the 43% of the workforce working part time are women. Men in the private sector still take a lot less leave and are accused of working even when taking compulsory parental leave and still work long hours in senior positions. And Sweden still has a substantial Gender pay gap. Just as well if the country wants to continue to generate the wealth that funds it’s huge public sector.
