Then you freely admit that a woman has just as much a chance at blowing
you away in your chosen profession as a man.  That's progress, anyway.

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.

I don't agree, as I stated above.

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.
