are really terrible at managing people. BOTH men and women managers. To pin this label primarily on women is stereotyping at its worst.

I'm 71 and retired, but I was in management for 40 years. This included real estate agencies, accounting firms, and a family planning agency where I served as executive director for a number of years. I certainly didn't suffer fools well, but I guarantee you that a female employee's being attractive had nothing to do with how she was treated.

Your experience is yours, but substitute the word "female" with "black" and see what YOU think about how your OP reads.

Cool story, though.
