OT RE: "That is an old way of demonstrating the type of question where, no matter how you answer it, you look bad. ..."Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" Neither a "yes" nor a "no" sounds very good."
Hi Frank,
Good grief, now this got me going - please let's not give excuses to that old sexist expression. Come on folks.
Barrett made this same mistake (using the phrase, whatever the wording).
It's an old saying that may have been used back in the "good old days", but it sure loses its appeal in the new world, especially with women. It sounds old economy and sexist.
Let's hope the CEO of a company which has a pretty high market cap can learn how not to use this phrase. It's a bit lagging in this department:
- How many VPs at Intel are female? (1, 2, 3,...?)
- How many females are on the Board of Intel? (one, the last time I checked)
- How many VPs at Intel have working wives? (1, 2...?)
- Did Intel ever publish a comedy piece that showed ... (never mind)
Regards,
