Most women executives understand they work in what has historically been a man’s business world. Most of these hard charging kick butt women have no problem with such a scenario and understand the facts and reality. Indeed they choose to find their own way into that world and function in it they say.

As a man well I must admit that it might be a little intimidating for a man to work under a woman due to our social engineering, yet as a free market person. I want the BEST person for the job, irregardless of gender or whatever. Sometimes that happens to be a woman, sometimes a man, who cares.

Efficiency should rule the day. And there should be no quota laws over who gets picked man or woman, it should be based on who is most qualified to do the job. I liken this issue to an experience I had my senior year in High School when I lost a track scholarship full-ride because I did not have a Mexican Sir Name. This was during the California State Mandate for quotas.

The Mexican fellow was a nice guy, but yet I was class-president, 4-year letterman, ran a small business from age 12, had better grades, honors classes he did not have and was a superior athlete with better times by 15-seconds in running the mile and mind you this was a Track Scholarship. So I too am bothered by government intervention on such things; perhaps the libertarian leanings, which propel these thoughts. I go for reality.

And to that point, does it really matter if your boss is a man or a woman as long as they are best, brightest or most proficient at that job? You be the judge, but for me, I am fine with woman leaders and have met enough of them who I believe have the right stuff to not be bothered by executive woman in power. Consider all this in 2006.
