Professional women don't like to be placated. If one thinks a female co-worker is wrong, one should tell her so in a professional manner. "I think you are wrong because...," is a good start. I, for one, will listen to reason. There is no reason why a man can't argue a point with a woman if he refrains from profanity and insults, and still maintain proper decorum. I resent your attitude towards women. Why is it whenever a woman criticizes a sexist attitude, her sense of humor is questioned? > As fas as I can > see, the tech is 90% right. > Well, this is your real answer to Mr. Chee's question, and a reasonable response. Some explanation and rational for your thinking would make the response even more useful. ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC web site (http://jefry.ipc.org/forum.htm) for additional information.
