What an ass you are. Of course these women are the ones that you want to heap more responsibility on~ More work less pay ! You win and the woman loses.

You really think we are that stupid!?

Last week, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella sparked a firestorm of criticism for comments he made at a women-in-tech conference in which he suggested that employees who feel underpaid should wait it out rather than ask for more money. But he went even further, saying something many headlines missed: a woman who doesn’t ask for a raise, he added, is “the kind of person that I want to trust.That’s the kind of person that I want to really give more responsibility to.” Executive to pushy women who ask for more: Could you not?

The backlash was so swift and severe that he had issued a backpedaling e-mail by the end of the business day.
