In the 1980's my sister-in-law Sheila gave me the following list and nothing much has changed:
A BUSINESSMAN IS AGGRESSIVE........................A BUSINESSWOMAN IS PUSHY
A BUSINESSMAN IS GOOD ON DETAILS........................A BUSINESSWOMAN IS PICKY
A BUSINESSMAN IS FIRM........................A BUSINESSWOMAN IS HARD
A BUSINESSMAN IS CONFIDENT........................A BUSINESSWOMAN IS CONCEITED
A BUSINESSMAN FOLLOWS THROUGH........................A BUSINESSWOMAN DOESN'T KNOW WHEN TO QUIT
A BUSINESSMAN IS CLOSE-MOUTHED........................A BUSINESSWOMAN IS SECRETIVE
A BUSINESSMAN IS A STERN TASK-MASTER........................A BUSINESSWOMAN IS HARD TO WORK FOR
A BUSINESSMAN IS WITTY........................A BUSINESSWOMAN IS SARCASTIC
A BUSINESSMAN ISN'T AFRAID TO SAY WHAT HE THINKS........................A BUSINESSWOMAN IS MOUTHY
A BUSINESSMAN HAS GREAT JUDGMENT........................A BUSINESSWOMAN HAS PREJUDICES
A BUSINESSMAN DRINKS BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE JOB PRESSURE........................A BUSINESSWOMAN IS A LUSH
A BUSINESSMAN LOSES HIS TEMPER BECAUSE HE'S SO INVOLVED........................A BUSINESSWOMAN IS BITCHY
A BUSINESSMAN IS DEPRESSED (OR HUNG-OVER) EVERYONE TIPTOES PAST HIS OFFICE........................A BUSINESSWOMAN MUST HAVE PMS
THE FOLLOWING ARE ONES I'VE ENCOUNTERED IN MY OWN WORKLIFE:
HE'S PERSUASIVE........................SHE WRAPPED THEM AROUND HER LITTLE FINGER
HE PROMOTES WOMEN, HE'S PROGRESSIVE........................SHE'S A LESBIAN
HE PROMOTES MINORITIES, HE'S FAIR........................SHE'S A BLEEDING-HEART
HE RECOGNIZES ACHIEVEMENT........................SHE'S A SHOW-OFF
HE'S COMPASSIONATE........................SHE'S A PUSHOVER
HE'S OUTGOING........................SHE CAN'T KEEP HER MOUTH SHUT
HE USES HIS GOOD PERSONALITY........................SHE USES HER FEMININE WILES
HE WAS PROMOTED ON MERIT........................WELL, WE KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS ONE,
ALTHOUGH SHE HAD THE BEST PRODUCTIVITY AND QUALITY AND SAFETY IN THE COMPANY!
