Women are better than men

http://www.forbes.com/sites/victorlipman/2015/04/16/are-women-really-as-this-major-research-says-better-managers-than-men/

- With male managers and male employees, engagement level is 25%.
- With female managers and male employees, engagement level is 29%.
- With male managers and female employees, engagement level is 31%.
- With female managers and female employees, engagement level is 35%.

Gallup’s overall conclusion? “Organizations should hire and promote more female managers. Female managers in the U.S. exceed male managers at meeting employees’ essential workplace requirements.

Thank you for the additional link. I've been collecting articles from mainstream publications about sex superiority. So far, I've come across 26 recent articles that claim women are better than men at given tasks. I've come across 0 articles that claim men are better than women at given tasks.

The conclusion is that either women are better than men at everything, or that these articles and the people who report them are examples of misandry (hatred of men).

A journalist or anyone who wrote that men are better than women (or that whites are better than blacks) would be immediately fired -regardless of the data. But it is acceptable and even encouraged to write the opposite.

These articles say much more about the overwhelming discrimination against men than anything else.

A lot depends on exactly what "engaged" means, doesn't it? A man probably would have undestood that, but the man-hating woman who wrote the article didn't. Hmm.

The article is from Forbes. Hardly a lightweight organization...
.. and a strategy being followed by the lab that will pay dividends.

What discrimination? Care to give any examples, or is it just your inferiority complex going bonkers?

I can show data that any race I choose is better than any other. BS is BS. Noise is noise. It stinks no matter which hooker pitches it.

The key is competent analysis.

You cite a poll as data?

This must explain the reason I see more homeless men
with cardboard signs asking for money at the street
corners then women.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

By scooby
The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

LLNL un-diversity

By scooby
Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
