gender prejudice

A new -- female -- boss in an Australian spy agency (The West, 14 Dec).

At last, gendered issues can be better addressed, says an ANU researcher. What?!

Only a woman can effectively address sexual slavery? Only a woman *will* address women's security needs? Let's look at -- or next to -- Jeffery Epstein:

Epstein was found guilty of various sex charges. Who is alleged to be his chief procurer of underage girls? A woman.

It's not wise to judge a person by their gender. In terms of equality, it's nice that a woman can become chief of spies. Let's hold off the accolades until we see how she actually performs.

In America a manager gains automatic respect with the position. In Australia a new manager needs to earn respect through their actions. Let's not lose that honest judgement just because the new boss is a woman.
