Article here. Excerpt:

'Is it a bad sign when management looks manly?

Research has shown facial masculinity is associated with behavior ranging from increased aggression to risk taking. Some economists decided to see what having a masculine-looking man atop a company might mean.
...
But given all the things that play a role in behavior, judging talent or demeanor by how someone looks hardly seems right. Investors looking for chicanery would be better off poring over financial statements than trying to put a face on it.'

The fact that a couple of scientists even did an exp. like this one ("masculine facial features"? Please, how arbitrary a set of standards is that?) indicates the outcome of it ahead of time, as well as exposes it for the foregone conclusion-seeking foolishness it represents.

I can't blame anyone who is Jewish for wanting to see or have an org'n like the ADL around. A particular individual might not always agree w/ its official position on something, but they are likely to agree it serves a worthwhile purpose.

I think a similar org'n for men is not a bad idea. A name like "Quit Hating On Males and Get Your Heads Out of Your Asses" leaps to mind.
