When will this IBM sex discrimination end?
I’m an angry woman working in the high-tech industry (part of IBM [name removed]) who have yet again been ignored for a promotion.
No matter where I look: I see men! 8 out of 10 are men in middle-management at my company.

What sex discrimination? What are you talking about?
One would hope that all companies place the most qualified people in management seats, as they would be punishing themselves otherwise.
Looking at your company website — 2 out of 10 (20%) women in middle-management is really an over representation, as there are less than 7% women working for the company? WTF are you bitching about?
Statistically you should have less than ONE (1/2 of one) female manager (in your 10 manager company)… Expecting and demanding more women would be reverse sexism, no? Surely you don’t believe women are generally better than men in your industry? Come on… That’s just plain silly!
This all brings us back to the cold hard reality and common sense…
Microsoft — It’s Bill Gates — Not Billy-Jean Gates…
Apple — It’s Steve Jobs — Not Steph Rim Jobs… (Ok, some Apple faithfuls might disagree there… But what can you do — they pay big bucks for sub-par technology that can be picked up at any given bus stop for lose change (minus an apple logo)).
Perhaps you were simply passed up on because your are a angry, sexist, and selfish woman with a weak grasp of the high-tech industry?
If you absolutely need a management position in a business where you don’t have to “compete” with men — try childcare! 99.9% of the women are mangers in the childcare industry because 99.9% of the people working there are women!
Shock… not!
This is not an equality issue — it’s basic math and common sense.
