#BeKind – Especially to the Ladies

By

The worlds of business, politics and social media may be seen as indivisible BUT each demands it’s own set of ‘rules of engagement’.

HUH?

A recent post of mine on Facebook congratulated a recently formed Ladies Group on identifying a niche and filling it so adequately that this group of ladies had their event oversubscribed by a factor of four.

One of my more neanderthal mates knee jerked on Facebook with this comment; “What about the men this is so offensive?”

I PRESUME that he forgot that he has TWO businesses that would benefit greatly from this specific set of ladies who hold great sway in the built environment. What a pity for him not thinking before exchanging his size 7 foot for a size 11 foot in the mouth!

I do not think that that comment would be well accepted on a social media platform such as LinkedIn or Twitter – on Twitter the revenge will be swift and vocal.

Sure the group is targeted at ladies in a specific environment and for a man to display his knuckle dragging, hairy, hunch backed neanderthal qualities on such a public forum must take supreme arrogance and surely not stupidity?

Yes, ladies are standing up and being counted and not ‘relying’ on men to do the heavy lifting for them. That it is on their own is to be expected as men for many many years have had everything their own way whilst the ‘little lady’ carried on with the duties of a WIFE – Washing, Ironing, Feeding, Etc.!
