For Suchi

If you still read my blog, we have a saying here in South Africa:

"Wathint' Abafazi Wathint' Imbokodo...."

That translates to:

"You strike a woman, you strike a rock..."

Keep on doing your good work.

Working with woman

Before I start this post, I need to make it clear that I am by no means a chauvinistic, woman-hating, pig (sit down Bruce). I just speak from experience, my experience. I have always maintained that I prefer female bosses to male bosses, purely because, well, female bosses aren't offended, or scared of me being gay....Believe me, it happens. However, in the past 6 months, I have changed my tune slightly. The hypotheses is: Female bosses are better than male bosses, providing that the environment in which they rule, are dominated by males. The minute you have a bunch of woman working together, you have chaos. I have never experienced backstabbing, bitching, falseness and the likes, as I have with my current job. I am the only male, amongst 5 females in our company. They ALL talk to me about each other, but when they talk to each other, they tell each other that I said things about them. Also, they are unbelievably bitch and snappy and change from being your best friend one day, to biting your head off the next for asking them to pass the stapler. Then there is the week a month where all of this female hate and backstabbing intensifies, and then there is no way that any sane man can work with that. But the best part is when they decide to exercise their right to be a working mom. They fall pregnant, get UBER bitchy for 8 months, leave for 4 and come back half day, for more money, and still taking days off because of their children. Woman are unproductive when they mate.... This has made me believe that maybe 'someone' was right when they said they believe woman should stay at home and look after children and cook, and leave the office work to men. Again, I don't dislike woman, I just think that the ones I work with now, has jaded me a little.
