Well if women can get bonuses by dressing skimpy and playing on Male bosses imaginative side then I should be able to play on my gender specific skills when I am asking my female boss for a bonus....
I should be able to threaten violence, fart really loud and ask for a bonus in burp......
Its only fair..

It can backfire though, there was a female supervisor at my old work who regularly had to interview for new secretaries and helpdesk staff.

It was a bit of a standing joke that she never used to hire anyone who was more attractive than her as she saw them as a threat to her job. Anyone who turned up looking remotely hot, or provocatively dressed, wouldn't get past the the first interview.

So since she was a munter, we only ever got blokes and utter swamp dwellers.

I see it at work, recruitment firms and software companies send attractive young ladies in.

You don't seem to like wimmins very much STi. Your comments are always rather scathing.

Most wimmins don't look like the plastic crap you get in pics you know. They don't have airbrushes to get rid of the bits that you and they have, that they don't want

No!

But if they were a bit intelligent , I may give it a thought for a minute or two before I cut their throats
