The son of one of my husband's colleagues owns a successful cigar-bar in Arkansas. He refuses to hire women to work for him. He told hubby that women bring too much drama to the workplace. Those are his exact words. Oh, and he's a diehard Republican, too. He must believe, like U.S. Rep Ed Royce believes, that my husband is a Republican because of the conservative way he dresses for work (suits and ties).
I don't agree with these prejudiced hiring policies, but it is a fact of life in the United States, and the RW don't have any qualms not hiring women, minorities, or any other people who aren't a "culteral fit", although now they have to hide it, simply telling applicants that they're "not qualified".
