It’s not a man’s world anymore.

This isn’t new, Henry James confessed that the social canvas of America is “dominated” and “painted” by women.

I know this is ancient, and radical, but go back to the time of the Greeks. Men dominated the social ‘canvas’.

BK’s commercial got it right: it’s all about sex and sex appeal.

Rewind those three comments and what I’m trying to say is this: Submission to sex and its pleasantries by men make space for the domination of women.

The new ad that gets me is the IBM green commercial.
It makes the WM boss look like a doofus when the young (eco friendly) female shows him how he can save the company 40% of 18 million by simply signing a paper.

Discrimination based on race and gender was never excusable. Unfortunately, contemporary EOE policies intended to balance the scale is proving to be equally discriminatory against white men. Double standards exist especially when the policies are administered by individuals who already carry a bias and have an agenda that is protected under the PC politics of EOE. Add in the feminization of the workplace and you have an environment that becomes secretly hostile towards men, or rather male social behavior in general. It is ironic that men "must" change but women are protected.

I've worked in a business environment for the past 30 plus years and the one noticeable difference that I have seen between male and female management style is that male managers seldom if ever make excuses for their male appointees, but women managers will continually defend their female appointees no mater how obvious the flaw. Men are expected to be "tough" and accept their errors; women are excused on emotional basis because, after all, they are competing in the mans'world.

It would be refreshing to see women who didn't think of themselves as men, who dress like women. In 30 years I've seen the double standard go both ways and it still isn't right.
