     @WashedOutGundamPilot That's called "hiring an office lady." At least the Japs get eye candy out of it and don't pretend they're real staff.

     Like this could be parody, but it’s happened because I’ve had multiple, astonishing instances of stuff like this from women at the top of the profession. I had a chick with her R-ATP, kinda the first block of airline-ready qualification where you’re REALLY hitting the books and getting to know your systems, and her technical knowledge wasn’t just “I don’t know”, but actively wrong.

     I’ve heard all kinds of ridiculous stuff, from “turbocharged (piston) engines are the same thing as turboprops, it’s just a label” to “flaps make you go faster because they add lift”, and every time I was left wondering how in the hell they were able to get so far with such gaps in their knowledge.

     So if WE have it, with a battery of exams where you’re put through the wringer to prove your mettle in a continuous cycle of test-prep and last minute cramming, how bad is it in the rest of society?

     @WashedOutGundamPilot Never listen to a woman when she gives you interview advice. One chick I knew got hired at a utilities company, her advice “Don’t be afraid to say I don’t know, they like honesty and that you’re willing to learn”.

     Every interview I had and tried that shit, they have me harder and harder technical questions or they just stopped and said “We are looking for someone who has a strong technical background”.

     They judge women and men different.

     @Twoinchdestroya Having a woman say IDK at least means she’s not gonna have as much of an ego.

     Working with insecure women is like walking in on a cat trying to hide its crap on the tile floor. You’ll see 20 feet of shit streaks all over the kitchen from all the places she tried to push it out of sight, instead of just leaving her mess in place for you to clean up without as much fuss.

     I couldn’t remember the elie wiesel quote about

     “somethings, while they never happened, are nonetheless true”

     but it’s applicable here. If it works for the publishing industry it should work for twitter, okay?

     @merchantHelios I have to even wonder if it’s a woman, the jokes are too consistent to be a girl…..
