I agree, nameslessone, there are many self-serving people about, of all sexes!.

However, my comment to Dermot was about misjudgement in general - like judging a person by their accent, sex, colour of skin etc.

Joseph Epstein. Yes, that's the one I was referring to Maggie. He's been wiped from his university website apparently - pointless act I think, it doesn't change the deed!

Sadly, many women have the same attitude, it isn't just a certain male thing.
There is resentment from some of other women who have had further education and have successful careers. Jealousy I guess and insecurity with the male counterparts.

...and you can at least double that misjudgment if you aren't a white male, Dermot!

How often & on what inadequate data do we misjudge one another!

Oh yes, the Wall Street journo who suggested Dr. Jill Biden dropped the Dr. bit, as it is a doctorate in Education.
He says it ‘sounds and feel fraudulent, not to say a touch comic’.
Makes you wonder if he got past 3rd grade, but sadly his attitude isn't unusual.
We've all come across males who assume a woman who has achieved something got it through a somehow 'easier' route!

It's times like this, when I'm sooo glad I'm not related to anyone called 'Epstein'. :-D :-D

However, Dr Biden's response was superb:
"Together, we will build a world where the accomplishments of our daughters will be celebrated, rather than diminished." :-D :-D

Nooo.... The outrageous comments that one Joseph Epstein made about Jill Biden.

No pizza in Woking for Andrew? As if! LOL

Is this the revelation that no trip was made to Pizza Express, Woking?

I see another Epstein is in bad odour - quite rightly too.
