Sexism in the city... Hurrah!

"Sexism made me miserable" so says ex-banker, Holly Courtney. She referred to her experience during meetings conducted in strip and lap dancing clubs, citing dancers who with jugs the size of watermelons rippling against the dance poles.

Leading women's group, Fawcett Society's KatherineRake, says that this practice of holding meetings in strip clubs do not give them privy to the information and the kind of client relationships that happens within that.

CNN's Sexism in the city clip

In my opinion, sexism is everywhere, be it consciously or sub consciously. The minute you wear a nicer looking blouse or a nice skirt that rides up a little higher to show off that nice legs of yours or not, I say that's inducing sexism. If I am a male client, and given a choice, who will I speak to? Of course somebody that's more pleasing to the eye and soul! It happens quite naturally right?

Now, let's take a look from the other side of the wall. From a female perspective, more often than not, you wish for some nice looking bloke around the dreaded meeting to feast your eyes on and take your mind off the boring topics on hand. I for one have heard my female colleagues going, "Oooh.... remember that cute sales manager from XYZ company? I'm having a meeting with him after lunch.... "

I'll say, girls have an unfair advantage over the guys! If they know how to play their cards right, the word strip clubs would not even cross the guy's mind. By saying that, I'm not saying that they should all strip and sleep with their clients to get businesses... but if they could sleep with their lecturers during college to get a good grade, I dun see why not? Oops.. I'm just being mean here...

What I am trying to say is... it happens both ways.... A bloke can dress up and look good for a female client, and the same otherwise, and when it comes to dealing with the same sexes... I'll put it down to how sincere you are and how good you are at negotiating.

I had a very good example in my friend's husband, he says, if I need to bring somebody to a nightclub to clinch a deal, I must be a pretty fucked up businessman. The only time he went to a nightclub, his wife went with him. Respect...

With all due respect...

The leaves go a ringing...
and the bells rustling....

Rats chases the cats...
and the cats, dogs...

In the world of randomness,
finds a pattern...

Rat-a-tat-tat...
Rat-a-tat-tat...

A Brand New End

A pair of chopsticks as his tool,
He goes about making a stool.

Got a penny for his stool,
After he used it to milk the bull.

It’s been a hot day at the zoo,
So he feels he needs to drool.

He thinks he is just so cool,
Drowning in the swimming pool.

Life of an incompetent fool.
