I think they prefer the more formal form of "Bakers." (Just sayin'... - and ignoring the obvious.)

A couple of years ago a girl called my business and asked me if I had any female pet sitters at her location because her dog was nervous around guys. When I told her that the only sitter available was a guy, she said "hmm, that's interesting." I asked her how so, and in return she asked me how many female employees I had. I was in one of "those" moods, so I came out and admitted that the majority of my employees at that time were male, maybe 70% to 30%. So naturally she came right out and accused me of being a sexist who discriminated against womyn. When I pointed out that I really could not give a flying **** what gender my employees are as long as they can do the job well, and that at the same time the previous year my gender makeup of employees was probably reversed in favor of females, she wasn't having any of it and stated quite seriously that unless I made a concerted effort to ensure that my staff gender balance was exactly 50/50 then there was clearly something sinister afoot. I love discussions in which the other person is not only oblivious to reason but also on the offensive, because if you persevere then you invariably get to see them squirm, and my chance came almost immediately - I asked her what she did for a living. She was an elementary school teacher. I then asked her how many of her colleagues at school were men. She accused me of trying to change the subject, said "so you don't have any sitters then" and hung up

About ten years ago I had the female director of a nearby dart association ask me some similar things right before our big yearly dart tournament out here (the Oregon Open, which I was the director of). The payouts for the female events were less than the men and didn't go down as far so she wanted to know why this inequality existed. The "real" reasons were pretty obvious: Only 20% of the entries overall are women and, head to head, the men are going to win 98% of the time (and I've actually had payouts to the top 16 women for an event that only had 15 signup - a national sanctioning body requirement - I told one of the waitresses to sign up explaining she was guaranteed to make some money so I'd have 16 names to report). Anyway, I told her that if enough women started playing in the events then things could change but, until then, I pointed out that there was already a bit of discrimination going on since the women had their own events that the men weren't allowed to play in, but the "other" event was actually an "open" event (not a men's only) so she was welcome to enter that and go for the big money (she didn't).

I didn't expect to get diatribes on the horrendous responsibilities you men suffer in the struggle for womyn's equality. But, good on you for your efforts. Egalite, Fraternite, Beyonce! Vive la France!

No I do realize how *the man* is burned in effigy. We're the masters of trickenology according to some. What we ALL have to realize as human beings is that none of us *have it all*. NONE of us get by unscathed. I remember hearing that google chick say something to the effect of *why can't womyn have it all too?* That's a straw argument because nobody in the corporate world has it all. Even the psychopaths at the top suffer.

OK. I'm confused. For a while I figgered you for a wimmins. Then I didn't. It really doesn't matter except for my own curiosity, and possibly a bit of extra politeness, but are you a minns or a wimmins?

No, I have wondered why centipedes have so many more legs than they could possibly need. Seriously, could you image having to buy another 49 pair of shoes?

Hi, Never had that issue in managing two restaurants. Had a couple of women cooks that were as good, if not better than any of the men before or after. No big deal, and if someone makes a big deal of it, they do not want a job. They just want trouble, and I'm not hiring them! There are some questions that are not exactly appropriate, specially nowadays, and asking a Call Center (like the one I was in) what percentage of employees are men or women, or how many in management of that Call Center are men or women, is NEVER ... going to move you up the list of choices for hiring. However, I have to say that I left the restaurant business behind, as in the 80's it was just a pick up line for rapers, child molesters and thieves ... and I was not interested in that kind of dishonesty, and control of innocent folks, specially young ladies. I wish there had been, at the time, a better mechanism to take away some folks that should not have been in management as they were!

Nope. In the 80's, Carrows and King's Table. I helped open up the 3 Carrows Restaurants here in the Portland area and a couple of years later came up to this area and went to work with them. Carrows was nice in the beginning, but when I got here to the Pacific NW, it was already being run by one of the lowest of the low, who even placed a woman in management in Salem, so he could get some extra on the side. And demote her a couple of months later, because of it.
