The all-girl band

This relates to a post the Grif put up in his other blog when he mentioned that women's proclivities prevent an all-female band from lasting beyond a decade. (No link to the post unless the Grif puts it up himself.)

The title says it all: Catfights over handbags and tears in the toilets. When this producer launched a women-only TV company she thought she'd kissed goodbye to conflict...

And the woman exec is forced into this conclusion:
And while I stand by my initial reason for excluding male employees - because they have an easy ride in TV - if I were to do it again, I'd definitely employ men. In fact, I'd probably employ only men.

my wife even says she would prefer working with men, because of her previous experiences with majority-women workplaces. no bs, no mind games, no one-up(wo)manship.

here's the original post.

I am forced into the same conclusion. A woman on her own is fine. I love them when theyre alone. But place them in groups...
