That must be really smart because it makes no sense.

Women’s brains absorb information like pancakes soak up syrup so it’s hard for them to focus, the attendees were told. Men’s brains are more like waffles. They’re better able to focus because the information collects in each little waffle square.

My chin drops just thinking a large American corporation could come up with something like this in the 21st century.

On women's skin and short skirts, and not much else, apparently. Good Gawd, I am so fucking sick of this kind of shit.

I am so grateful to work where I do. Where this kind of bullshit is not only discouraged but actively worked against. Not just for women, but for minorities and LGBT's as well. There are constantly workshops and awareness classes to help people to understand how discrimination in the workplace hurts everyone and diminishes productivity.

I am glad my company takes this seriously. I could not imagine if I had to put up with a bullshit class like the one mentioned above.
