The above modes of operation and conditions DID NOT prevail prior
to equal employment opportunity; they are female traits; the
females introduced them like pollution into the business world;
and they spread like contagion throughout the economy.

On a related front: the Treatise on the Downward Wage Equalizing
Effects of Equal Employment Opportunity is available at:
http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/3982/

"Government enforced wage equalization will work only
in the downward direction" - despite any initial
appearance to the contrary!  And the most shocking
thing of all is that the least preferred worker does
not even have to be awarded a job for many phenomena
to occur.
