Having left "corporate" life some years ago I wish that I had done so much earlier. Looking back, I realise what a dumb male I have been to be suckered in like that! When the commentariat point out that there should be more women doing this or that or are under-represented here or there, I always consider the possibility that the women in question took a long look and just said "no thanks"; Then I do the same.

Colm hangs out with women based on the way they look and men based on how he gets on with them. Most PEOPLE aren't interested in current affairs. If one of the ways you choose your male friends includes an interest in current affairs and this isn't true for your female friends OF COURSE it will appear that men are interested in current affairs and women aren't (when in fact women in general are not interested in current affairs and neither are men).
