Women are detail oriented.. that is not always a good thing.. men and women are different.. like we said. maybe women should do the things they do well and men the things they do well.
I have a woman who runs an office that runs parts of the things I need done. She will take great pains in going over every little thing I have done to call me up and tell me what I have done wrong.. what detail I have left out or what rule I have bent.
I get the job done.. the men like and respect me.. they hate her.
She will call, as I say and tell me all about how I have not followed the rules... these are emergency situations btw.. requiring some quick decisions base on experiance.
Like I said.. she spends a great deal of time thinking about what I did wrong and then calls me... I tell her what really happened and why.. often she just get's so frustrated that she says... "you have an answer for everything don't you?"
I say.. "no.. but I try to." I don't think she get's it... I really think that in the things she does have control over that her attention to detail make for less progress and less real work and more unneeded expense than is necessary.
One of the women that did work for me I fired. she was useless but was the only one who couldn't see it.
She once came to me and told me that I needed to tell all the other operators to do a lab procedure the way she was doing it because it was superior.
I told her that number one... I don't "need" to do anything she tells me... number two.. if the guys were doing the procedure in accordance with standard lab practice they were fine and three.....
That she was the slowest and least consistent person I had working for me so why would I want them to imitate the way she did things.

Hi Lazs,
Oh yeah... I do think I should be able to get the ratio above >1 ...but I’m confident I will. The way I approach things like that is experimentation and observation. I have observed a self-weakness... having to do with E-state determination of bandits in a swarm. I have tended to dive right in instead of hanging back and gauging who has what E-State. Also I am used to flying with wingmen and love to drag bandits into the jaws of my wingmen. hahahaha
So far I have been flying solo even in the company of other country-mates.
I just don’t yet have a groove.
My ratio approached about a 0.9x at one point in tour 92 but it fell back.
Things like learning fuel conservation and ammo management played a part. I was flying the La-7 with the throttle to the wall for a fast transit to a fight and dying from being bingo fuel or bingo ammo... A lot of little things added which I didn't need to manage in h2h.
Like I said... I like challenge... there are added things which I find interesting.
Although I knew the La-7 is a low alt fighter (<8K) I experimented with going after high alt fighters and bombers and got my six shot off a lot.
Live and learn!
On the women you speak of... Sounds like dorks to me. Didn't hire good people, I am thinking.
Every woman who works mainly with men has to find a
modus operandi that works for her. Many, I fear, get it wrong and also get no help if they have it wrong. It is a tight wire act and always assuming an adversarial posture and attitude is not the way to go. We are not men and can not be men and what woman in her right mind would want to? There is a time and place to stand ground though.
With that said, it is possible to get respect and show respect and not loose femininity. But it can be damn hard sometimes.
