This is why females are IN THE BIGGER PICTURE destroying > American competitiveness. The female managers I worked for gave us promotions, many raises/bonuses when they were deserved, conferred a lot of responsibility on me and my coworkers and did it all in a way that gave us dignity and respect from within the company and without. I've had male managers treat my coworkers and I in a much shoddier manner. For instance, if my boss (currently male) ever starts to treat me the way you no doubt would, I'm gone. I won't even look back. This is not to say all women are better managers than men, but on the whole personal experience tells me they're at least just as good. Sounds like you got fired by a female (probably you're own fault) and you're trying to salve your ego by externalizing it. That's pretty sad, but you better wake up and get back in gear or you'll be out of it for good, at least if you're a professional in technology. Things are moving too fast right now to mope around about something like that. > For further evidence, pay attention > to females.

What have I written to give you the impression that I am inferior? And in what way am I inferior? You write a bunch of blather about how women are inferior in a variety of ways. You offer no supporting evidence and very shaky logic. I counter that with personal experience to the contrary, and you then simply call me inferior (albeit in a thinly veiled way). To top it off, you post this crap without leaving a way for people to contact you. That's probably just as well, as I misread who made your original post and mailed a scorcher to an innocent bystander when it was meant for you. Ah, well. Platypus (dne...@black-hole.com)
