When is a comment, sexist?
Why do women always become a target of such insensitive remarks?

My boss, who is male, but not oozing with sexuality made a comment before the weekend, about our agents, not being 'up to the mark' in the image department. Because of that, he has decided that for the next upmarket job, we need to hire part-time models, in place of the agents, for the presentation bit.

That was really rude - because he apparently hasn't taken a good look at himself in the mirror lately - he's overweight and doesn't even have a visible waistline.

The remark was callous and definately not fair to the agents, who do perform. They may not be the next miss singapore, but they are decent enough in the image department.

Corporate image is about looking well-groomed.
Corporate image is also about having usable grey matter between the ears.

The last I looked, we are in a serious business - how did we end up having to hire sex?

Is this the correct corporate image?
We are so corporate that we will 'sell' our employees to get a contract?
Is this what male bosses are really made of?
That anything in a mini-skirt will do?

Apparently, for this male it's all that matters.
Females are not females unless they are oozing with wanton.

No wonder, some women get into this feminist thing.
They probably went head-on with too many men who cannot think beyond the bed.

That is not image, that is what's lacking in their life, which they are trying to cultivate in their workplace.
