    Neo con is an imaginary person made up by the bleeding heart liberals to help pursuade simple minded individuals that big government and oversight is better.

    A neocon is like a Racoon, but larger and more aggressive. Apparently, it eats the entrails of Iraqi babies for lunch, and washes it down with the blood of immigrants.

    Neocons often disguise themselves as other creatures in order to avoid their most fearsome predator, the coastalib.

    The virtual battles between these two fearsome creatures have become legendary in the e-jungle, and have almost completely destroyed the habitat which rationalmoderatians live in.

    Approach both neocons and coastalibs with care. Attracting their attention will cause you to be assaulted with totalianistic searches and poorly thought out social welfare taxes.

    It\’s best just to keep your head down and hope they drive each other to extinction. Once an ELE for these two species happens, the majority of citizens can rebuild civilazation using common sense and realpolitik.

    Yea, with such a large company there are ll sorts of accounting and management jobs that men would want. Often times men make better managers because they dont undulge in as much small talk and they keep the employees in line and are less emmotional

    Holy Frijoles…

    Do any of you have any information with regards to mail applicants at this particular company? It is possible that men have also been discriminated against, but you can\’t make that call without knowing the numbers.

    As far as the rest of the comments, holy crap. I hope you\’re all kidding.

    I don\’t know how many \”mail\” applicants they\’ve had, but I don\’t need to know the number to make the call.

    This company has only managed to find 500 qualified male applicants? I call BS on that one.

    Let\’s board the logic train:

    Men make up about 50% of the population.

    In a normal corporate environment you could reasonably expect half of the applicants to be men, and half to be women.

    These job\’s are at a company that caters to women, so let\’s assume that fewer men want to work there.

    If only 1/4 of american men would work at a company that caters to women, that would work out to roughly 12.5% of the applicants.

    Assuming you take only the best qualified applicants (based on education and experience) that means about 12.5% of your workforce would be male.

    In a 5000 employee company you would have about 650 men. This company has (according to the article) about 500 men.

    No possible way there\’s no discrimination. I used conservative estimates of applicants. If half of the men in this country would work for a female oriented company you should have 1250 male employees.

    No possible way only that only 10% of the applicants were qualified men, not when there\’s a decent paycheck and benefits at stake.

    Simple math says that there\’s a problem here, so don\’t tell me I can\’t make that call.

    Unless you seriously think that only 1 out of every 5 guys is willing to work in the accounting department, or warehouse, or shipping department, or operations department, or commercial sales force, or advertising department of a firm because that job helps sell maternity clothes.

    Fat chance.
