    God knows there are plenty of men in positions of power doing shiteful jobs. Take politics as an example.

    I'm happy to see more women run rings around the useless, self-centered pigs we overpay to gorge themselves at our expense.

      Do you have a research reference for that?

        let's try illustrating this in coffee terms.


        20g in, 40g out in a 22g basket.

        something's not right, the shot's coming out more bitter than usual!

        clearly a case of overextraction. grind coarser.

        now it's sour and watery and bitter!

        maybe we went too coarse. need to grind a bit finer, or maybe tamp harder...

        ....wait a second, why don't we dose up to 22g? 20g seems too low for the basket. would probably encourage channelling. especially if your puck prep is inconsistent.

        ...no, that would be ridiculous, we've always done 20g in a 22g basket. just grind finer, or adjust your tamp, and we'll get it! that's what works for us! now i'll go get the bathroom scales...

        but the basket should be filled to its rating. that makes the most sense.

        no, but then we'll have to buy and use more coffee. we can fix this with by adjusting the grind. this is how we do it - we know what to expect.

        shouldn't we use the best dose for the basket?

        well we could, and it's a nice thought, but that means we'd have to use more coffee, which is expensive, and we don't even know if it'll work or not. we'll probably waste more coffee and time trying to change it. plus i've already divided up all my coffee into nice 20g portions. let's just stick with what we know.

            Throughout history men have grouped together and sallied forth to protect their turf, leaving the women to look after the home and kids. As a consequence men will cooperate to achieve a given goal - women not so much.
            Excluding 51% of our population (some women would say 90% of our combined brain power) from the decision making process, risks making us as backward as some of the countries that still do.
            Some sort of quota is needed.

            Ps from my experiences with combined households (usually due to economic necessity) the men will share the workshop, the kids will share their toys, but getting women to share the kitchen - forget about it.

                A nicely timed piece from the BBC: Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders?

                And...When you add in the effects of prejudice and The Peter Principle is it any surprise there are so many incompetents in positions of authority?
