Why can’t a woman boss be like a man?  (don’t know. cause they’re built different?)

I have been reading this lady for about four years now.  I like her writing style and quite frankly, I kinda like her.  Oh yeah .. Lyndon reminded me once.
Celia Walden also. It’s really difficult to ignore pretty women.  Especially Walden .. now then where was I?

Oh yeah .. the following story ....  and my final post for the night.

Cheers all and hope to see you tomorrow.


Why can’t a woman boss be like a man?

So now we know. Women don’t much like women, and they certainly don’t like working for them. Research published this week has found that females who have the misfortune to have a boss with breasts and a high-pitched voice are more likely to suffer from stress than those who answer to a strapping hunk of a man.

Ladies who work for ladies suffer more from depression, headaches and insomnia. Well, obviously. Who wouldn’t experience horrific, disturbing night terrors, knowing that, in several hours’ time, they must trudge to the office and be told what to do by a woman?

Indeed, just thinking about the concept of a female being put in charge of a workforce has given me a migraine. Make it stop! I may have to go and lie down, but, while I’m gone, could somebody see to it that all bosses with two X chromosomes are replaced by ones with an X and a Y?

Scientists at the University of Toronto believe that there are two reasons a female boss causes such strife. The first is that women prefer to be told what to do by men: that’s the way it has been for thousands of years, we are used to it, why change the habit of several lifetimes? The second is Queen Bee Syndrome. People who suffer from this do not like it one bit when they are surrounded by competitors of the same sex.

For years, women have pondered why gender equality in the workplace has been so difficult to achieve. Here we are in 2008, and in Britain there is still a 17 per cent pay gap - despite the fact that all the evidence points to girls consistently outperforming boys at school, year in, year out.

We have long blamed men, believing that our career has been hindered by sexist, chauvinist pigs who think that the main points of a lady is to look pretty, cook dinner and pop out babies.

But we have made scapegoats of the opposite sex for too long. What this research suggests is that we are our own worst enemies, allowing petty jealousy to get in the way of our careers. Change comes from within, and the sooner we accept that, the sooner we can smash through more glass ceilings.

• We are, it seems, a nation of criminals. We should all be locked up, the keys thrown away forever more. Apparently, the average person breaks the law at least once a day. We download music illegally, park on double yellow lines, don’t clean up our dog’s mess, cycle without lights after dark and even eat while driving. We should all be thoroughly ashamed of ourselves.

This news reminded me of the time a friend - a middle-aged professional - was stopped by a policeman and given a warning for cycling on an empty pavement. Pc Plod told my chum that it put pedestrians in danger, despite there being none around, and besides, how could he be sure that my chum was not going to cycle past a non-existent pedestrian and relieve them of their non-existent handbag before making a quick getaway on his fold-up bicycle?

My friend responded that he could not be sure, but the fact that he was in his mid-forties and wearing a suit might perhaps give him some inkling that his only intention, while on this bike, was to travel from A to B. And with that Pc Plod went on his way, presumably to continue with his job of bothering other, mostly law-abiding citizens.

• It’s official. Blondes really do have more fun. Hooray! Researchers - this time from Nottingham Trent University - found that a woman who bleaches her hair is more confident, more adventurous in bed, more likely to complain about unfair treatment and, finally, more likely to ask her boss for a pay rise. Just as long as her boss isn’t also a woman, I suppose.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
