This is getting more ridiculous by the day! So now because I said that without retailers you'd be growing food and wives would be sewing clothes i'm a sexist? LOL Okay have your wife grow the food and you sew the clothes, either way you totally missed the point about the value of retailers to every day life and decided to turn this into a battle of the sexes. clever, but really not very intelligent.
I find it hard to believe that any "Professor" could take one sentence, drive it out of context and conclude that i'm a sexist still living in the 50's LOL I would wager a guess that anyone who spent as many years educating themselves and others as a University Professor would make a judgement based on one sentence. YOu're so silly.
As far as the Statistics go, I have no idea what the relevance to any of this is. yes we are all aware of the statistics and trends. There are more women CEO's, executives and Sr. Managers each year. Our board of Directors has women on it, that's great. My accountant in house is female. Office Manager, female. Store Manager, female. I have a girl on my auto parts desk. I have a 25 year old girl running my warehouse. They do their jobs and do it well, that's why they are there. I don't care if they were male, female or transgendered, do the job you're paid to do, and all is well! It's no more complex then that.
My wife has two University Degrees to my one. She will likely never follow into the fields of work she studied, as she is an integral part of our company and this is more wealth then we could ever have hoped for. When I was a Service Manager in another City and Province, the family across the street had a stay at home Dad. His wife was an accountant for a big company, and supported the family on her own. None of this stuff is foreign to me. YOu're not lecturing some teenager
