So what?

No, you didn't!

When I see increases in productivity then I will believe in them.
I said it before and I will say it again:  if computers are so
wonderful, we would be seeing ever improving standards of living,
but we are, in actuality, seeing quite the opposite.

Well, you have to admit that there seems to be quite a correlation
between the passage of the equal employment and housing laws and
the deterioration of U.S. society.  In fact, there is an even
stronger correlation between the enforcement of those laws and
the deterioration.  (You see, those laws weren't enforced much in
the early days of their existence.)

This would not strike me as being strange in the U.S. what with the
government's giving contract preferences to women and minority-owned
businesses and with the government's pressuring big businesses to
likewise to show the same preferences.

I never said that women were not good at launching new enterprises.
A new business is a very undefined or ill-defined situation, and
women seem to do well under such circumstances.  However, there
comes a time when the organization matures and needs just that -
that is, ORGANIZATION.  This is why, historically (most notably
prior to equal employment opportunity) females would turn over
their enterprises to professional male managers.

So tell me, Simon, to what would you attribute this dislike of
males for working for a female boss?  There's a saying:  "One
billions flies can't be wrong!"  Right?
