Even The Wolf likely can't clean up Harvey Weinstein's pending troubles

@PCLoadLetter gets credit. I copied off him. But, yeah, it's a spot on moniker for Stain's recent schtick.

Recent? Rick Stain's Throne of Judgment was one of the first things people noticed about me here.

I don't call people misogynists. I called an idea misogynistic.

Umm... these are your exact words in reference to @exmediahack's post:

Calling out lazy misogynist that shirts on qualified people? Never

Do you see a noun or an adjective?

True. But I recall it once being tolerable. It's evolved into insufferable.

Maybe. Maybe you've changed. I can live with it either way.

Look at the grammar around it. It's pretty clear that was supposed to be misogynism. Phone induced typo.

We all have misogynistic tendencies because we live in a misogynistic society.

LOL. The ole blame it on the phone bit. How original.

I'm not sure why we should expect all industries and professions to be racially and gender diverse in perfect perportion to society at large.

Different people and groups have different interests, and different jobs require a level of education that alters the racial and gender makeup of the applicant pool.

And, I don't think @exmediahack or @Alma are wrong or insensitive to point out that if you have one job, from which your applicant pool is 200 white men, with an average age of 33 and 10 years of reporting and on camera experience, that they might be better at their job than the person hired from an applicant pool of 30 (beautiful) women, with an average age of 25, and less than 3 years of experience.

It doesn't have to be perfectly proportioned, but eight times out of 10 when a prestige job is skewed towards white men, it's because a culture of mediocre white men are protecting each other.

Maybe you're only getting an applicant pool of 30 women because they get shirt on by people who talk shirt about them from the moment they enter the industry.

Or maybe it's because far more men want to work in sports broadcasting than women. That's not really a tough concept to grasp.

A huge percentage of men trying to get into the business want to work in sports. Women entering the business are usually aiming for news or weather jobs.

Has it occurred to you that there is a certain ... inefficiency in constantly questioning me on things you've already made up your mind about?

I grasp the concept. I bet it's less true than you think.

Well, one of us is speculating.

The other one has been in TV for 25+ years and is close friends with the News Director at arguably the top broadcasting school in the US.

I bet it's exactly as true as I think.
