A girlie man’s world..
The title has nothing to do with the Gay Pride parade (which is incidentally held this weekend in Amsterdam - if you live in or around Netherlands, its worth the trip to Prinsengracht to watch the Canal Parade - otherwise, watch this space for photographs!)
End of digression - the title is from this week’s Economist, where they say women have won the sex war (subscription required).
Wise chaps seeking professional advancement should therefore spend their free time with groups of women, boning up on how to undermine somebody’s confidence while pretending to boost it, and how to turn an entire lunch table against an absent colleague without saying a mean word. Such skills are likely to have a greater influence on their lifetime earnings than the ability to spin an icosahedron.
Economist has never struck me a great supporter of women (the last time I remember reading about the issue was in a rather poor article, “Sex changes” last June.) This one is slightly better, though I am not convinced it is actually written in a positive note.
I don’t necessarily care for a “victory”, equality is good enough - but I am definitely not complaining when they conclude that women are better suited for modern professional life!
….. how to undermine somebody’s confidence while pretending to boost it, and how to turn an entire lunch table against an absent colleague without saying a mean word……..LOL
Gay Pride parade…Oscar Wilde would have been so happy to see this day…
anyhow…Newton’s first law seems on work now..

Yes women are better suited for professional lives - and that’s because we are mainly natural born multi-taskers.
BTW, I simply love your blog. It’s going on my blogroll asap.
