WOMEN IN REVOLT

What does it take these days to inspire women to self-hate? Not only to self-hate, but to take it to such industrial levels that they are manufacturing their own misogyny? Last week, it took a study by www.ukjobs.net, which interviewed 3,000 men and women, finding that three-quarters of men preferred to work for male bosses; two-thirds of women agreed. Their reasons were that men were more straight talking and reasonable, less bitchy, cliquey and prone to mood swings, and (this one made me laugh) less likely to feel threatened if others were good at their jobs. Yeah, that's what I've noticed about men too – they're so non-competitive.
