Gracie, if you read the main post you’ll see that, like yourself, I do find it shocking. But the fact is that it never changes and the nattering goes on and on. When I use the word ‘boring’, I should have said ‘hopeless’.

I don’t find this boring so much as shocking. I had to check my stone tablet to see what century we were in…

Thats the thing about prejudices. Our own are invisible to us. We all have them, it’s part of the human condition. (PS I never labled you a sexist, you’ve chosen that word yourself.)

I don’t disagree with your logic at all, I disagree with your perception that i’m sexist. Please can you quote which comments in my post were sweeping generalisations based on gender?

My post made two points:

1) The female perception of public relations in my class(!) to that of the male perception. As
2) It’s bad for any industry to be dominated by just one sex.

Richard, I realise you are young and inexperienced, but do I really have to explain why making sweeping generalisastions based on gender, and most other indicators for that matter, displays flaws in your critical thinking? The fact that you think it’s appropriate demonstrates your prejudices.

Good post.

I must ask though, what in my post was predjudice? People keep saying it but fail to state what in my post (which was a reflection upon another post on the great Forward-Moving blog), was prejudice?
