This whole thing about a company needing more “masculine energy” reminds me of those old research stats about how men assume women are talking too much, ie more than 50%, during a conversation when the actual percentage is ridiculously low.

Or judging that there’s too many women in a movie’s crowd scene once it’s about 25-30% women.

@wendypalmer It's been proven time and time again that as soon as women hit 30% at a work place, the male employees believe there is a majority of women.

I had a colleague once in Sweden of all places, who told me he thought it was wrong that women got the same pay as men, because women just "fritter away their money on imported cosmetics, and that's bad for the economy". So I asked him "You know that Harley-Davidson you have? Is that a Swedish brand?"

@LillyHerself thanks, I hadn’t heard that stat (colour me unsurprised).

Ah yes, women’s interests always seem to be “frittering” of time/energy/money, and yet men’s are somehow of unimpeachable value.

Marvellous logic on his part: women should not be allowed discretionary spending, let’s implement a national policy of financial coercive control.
