Gender Irrelevant in Business?

is it really a concern.......

Hi Viktor,
Thanks for refering me, a well researched article. It gives many dimensions to usual men-women debates.
1. We Indians have a habit of portraying Indians as different creatures than other world, mostly western culture. It is true that, we Indians have a centuries old rich culture. But we should not assume that rest of the world follows no culture. And when it comes to three lettered word, all human beings in the world are identical. Same men, same women. Indian are no differnt.
2. This article has also donned upon me how great escape I had. My ring finger is longer than my index finger. Naturally, my testetoron level must be higher. Fortunately, there are no women in our office. What a great escape I had..

@Sujit my appologies for not citing the source, didn't realize you of all people would be interested. Anyone with have a brain would have found the source by googling Kevin Hogan+"Women Ruin Men's Ability To Think". But geniuses like your have to be spoon fed. The source is http://www.kevinhogan.com/women-distract-men2.htm

@Aditya, the index finger is the fourth finger on your hand, the one next to your thumb, the ring finger is the second finger. 

Great article Viktor. As Devi rightly said, this article speaks volumes!!
And if not all there is at least some fact to this.

verbatim from http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4921690.stm.... 
please show source. Its not enough to tell the name and writer of research.

Thanks a lot Viktor, really enjoyed the article. By the way, it IS the ring finger you're telling us about, or you call it the ring finger?

Mr. V.G. Sundar Kumar, I had no intention of making a comment on this insight but you have now forced me to respond to your comment. Firstly, I do not support your entire first paragraph.Secondly I am of Indian descent but also a western woman and I am nothing of what you have said of western women. In future I will appreciate if you will comment in a global way and say some women in other countries and don't limit your thoughts to just western hemisphere.     

great...Mr. Viktor
I will share this.....

I might even go one step ahead!! The emulation of the west particularly what happens in the US is being duplicated or replicated or whatever you may wish to call it, is happening here. The work culture, the habits, the language, the music, the films everything that is closely associated with our lives has a HUGE influence of US in it!!
The BPO work culture is nothing but an exact replica of the culture in US!! So I think Viktor what applies there can safely apply here too. Why even the management gurus talk the same language and tactics and strategy!! 

Mr. Sunder Kumar, you forget that today we are living in a global village, a cultural melting pot. You cannot deny that a study undertaken in the west has no bearing on Indian society....Men will me men, geography and culture not withstanding. Besides, Indian society has always been hypocritical and in denial about issues related to gender and sex. One the one hand, we talk about women emancipation and on the other, we have been killing our unborn daughters. Progressive political reforms such as the women reservation bill are long pending due to male chauvinism.

Dear Mr. Viktor,

The article is very interesting.  Is all the research done on this subject pertaining to the Western culture?  A vast difference would has to be observed in documentation of history, cultural traditions and changing trends in the present scenario, when this subject is handled from an Indian’s perspective view point.  In western’s culture, women have liberty to drink in midst of men since ages and not considered a taboo.  Kissing in public is allowed. Dating and prostitution, premarital sex, live in relationship are not illegal.  We have never encouraged such behavior of Indian women because we believe it is against our tradition.  Nevertheless, to day we are gradually progressing to get imbibed with Western culture.  We had defined the roles of husband, wife, children through our ancestors. A woman’s role as a wife was to be confined to household activities, get instructions from dominant male, and also to take care of the children welfare.  Hence in turn it became necessary for the children to support their parents during old age.  With the emerging Western culture, we notice that many parents are forced to shift to old age homes in desperation  and sons unethically murdering their parents for financial gains.  In Western countries, the parents are not dependents on the children during old age, although they are brought up during childhood.  In my opinion the ongoing research in Women influence on men due to sexual attraction is not applicable to us in the present era.  I do have no hesitation that in the long run it may have adverse impact.

Sexual clues, men being attracted by women have acquired phenomenal status and are an important tool for exploitation as well as business strategies.  It need not have to become an obsession or affect one’s mind, when men are working under a women boss.  Except for physiological & biological differences, habits, limitations, men and women are both human beings, considered to be at equal status concerning their existence and  performance.  Both are competitors and contributors to any competent event or subject. By his or her constitution certain fields or professions have become popular amongst them and certain fields are not suitable for them.  Some years back women were considered impracticable for heading manufacturing industries.  Now a days we see many leading Industrialists, technocrats and other coveted positions occupied by women.  There have been many IAS women officers in the Administrative cadre who have no difficulties in even relocating independently at places other than their husband’s location for discharging their work related matters. No documented evidence or abuses are reported from the employees working under them.

I n my openion the discssion and comments were for Indian citizen.

Awesome Insight !!
Thanks for the referral Mr. Viktor !!

Nice insight Viktor, thanks for the referral, sure men are vulnerable when it comes to the opposite sex, and this is evident everywhere, not only at the workplace.

No comments. The article speaks for itself. Thanks for the referral.

Very indepth. In fact Viktor the only reason why I have actually avoided REALLY commenting on these issues because the fact is that when Men and Women work together in a workplace there is bound o be sparks and its a very hormonal thing. 

Men are more prone to being sexually attracted to women because their testosterone allows them to think only by their d***s rather than the brain. Also the vice versa can never be true because most women rely on their instincts to prune themselves and even send signals of liking to a male colleague until they are emotionally secure with the relationship. That is also a very big reason why women are so self assured in a workplace. The laws also protect them. Sexual harassment is not very difficult to slap on a male colleague and women being meticulous by nature can very patiently keep collecting evidence to prove the same.

Interestinglu in one study I cannot really put my finger on, I had read that men are more vulnerable in a workplace and insecure where there are women around and particularly where women are bosses! Its like a catch 22!! They have to keep performing, then there are hazards of working together particularly when you have a female boss and who uses all weapons of dressing and olfactory devices that would send the men in a tizzy. Now there is a relation here in the behavior of men and women here and according to the study its purely sexual and charged with secretion of hormones. Men go OTT (Over The TOP) as the organ starts singing a lusty tune whereas the enticer is already set out to catch the next prey and make it SILLY PUTTY!

The use of sexual overtures are abundant in such workplaces. Lawyers offices, IT, Advertising, Media, generally any Marketing functionality would mean an office that has testosterone and the feline variety at their desks. 

On your closing statement, I would say that some men would prefer an ugly man over an attractive woman for professional reasons, but when you take out the work environment that same man would be absolutely a ninny to the slightest of advances by the same attractive woman!!

This is so interesting!! Thanks Viktor.
