Hi Chaps
Yes, I hold up my hands to starting my posts with "Hi Chaps", its a personal affectation that I like to pretend I live in the 19th century, which is ironic as your views on women appear to belong to that period.
In what part of my post did I assume you were male? What I did was call you an unreconstructed Australopithecus.
As you clearly don't understand the insult here's a breakdown for you.
Unreconstructed means "unreconciled to social or cultural change"
Australopithecus is a hominid fossil species the most famous of which is Lucy, a female!
You see it was a sort of tautological insult to make doubly sure you got it, alas I failed!
The reality is that life can be unfair, its the same in any job, however, don't just lash out by simply using your particular bigotry and blaming women. That's just ridiculous, inaccurate and insulting. As for your "two things going for them" comment, that shows the true level of your intellect.
With an attitude like yours I'm not surprised more "inexperienced" people get promoted above you. If you were given responsibility for staff (god forbid female staff) and you exhibited the same tendencies you'd find yourself in an equalities tribunal and your employers would find themselves sued!
Your misplaced ideas make you an employment liability
