Not true according to research. The vast majority of WOMEN (two thirds) prefer a male boss to a female boss - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/6020123/Most-women-prefer-working-for-men.html

Main reasons being male bosses are seen as fairer, less prone to mood swings and less "bitchy" etc etc

'quota'
you think I got where I am today, MD, as ******* quota????

please feel free to visit me, anytime, after 3.30 am, but before 8, when it gets busier as MY lads come into work. And we finish every day at 4.30-5, so you can catch me in my pub, the one I paid for to keep it open, in my village. Glass ceiling? smash it. Take that as a personal challenge? quad it, then shout Sucess!!!
always have done, been working in male enviroment for ovr 20 years, and have found you dont need a HR hand if you are good enough. And I hate to lose. If good, gender is immaterial. Get over yerselves. And stop blaming others for your weakness boys. Real men wouldnt. My hubby knows what he is crap at, and knows exactly where and when he is better than me, we bring different skills to the marriage, and work table, and learn to slot them along sides each other. ergo we all gain.

You sound a lot like my Wife. She also went through that glass ceiling to be the CFO of a global software company at 32.

She's the brains, the organisation and the moderation in our marriage, I am the adventure, brawn and unpredictability. Together we work, unlike any other couple we know.
 
Today I got in trouble for using the word "mankind" in a report.

mankind |ˌmanˈkīnd; ˈmanˌkīnd|
noun
1 human beings considered collectively; the human race : research for the benefit of all mankind.
2 |ˈmanˌkīnd| archaic men, as distinct from women.

I cried a little inside.

That's just PC madness!

What term did they suggest?
 
was watching newsnight last week and they were talking about work place equality, mentioiniong women quotas for Board membership etc. one woman per each male director etc.

they said, women dont get onto the board because they cant do 90 hour weeks like the rest of the men, so therefore the way we all work needs re engineering?

then a woman comes up on death row. and im thinking, if it was equality they want and quotas of men and women on boards, why do they not petition for equality in terms of the number of men and women on death row too?
