I pretty agree to a certain extent that some jobs are best suited to certain gender.
Take procurment for instance.
Women would make the world lousiest buyers. Why so?
Impulse.
You put a few women together in orchard empty handed and they will come back with luggages.
It is in their blood to buy implusively.
Maybe it's their competitive nature. Ger 1 bought a bag, I must at least get a pair of shoes.
So imagine if SIA procurement team is managed and manned( or womened?) by them. We have stocks for everything? But the straits time is having a discount! We must get like 5 copies for each passenger!
Men on the other hand would make excellent buyers. We always love to buy in bulk and we always do so much research that by the time we wanna get that xbox 360, the 720 series is already been phrased out.
And why would anyone not want to buy all possible things on a single visit? It's like going to the counter to first get your burger, then your fries, then go back again to get your drink.
So when you see things that comes in a pack, or things that has like 10-in-1 capabilities, men created them.
When you see one single thing with 10 over variations with each serving the same purpose(e.g. knives set), you can be damn sure men didn't create them.
And my first attempt at bulk purchase. Enough to last me til I'm 30.
