Sorry, but I have to disagree with you here, Joe! Back in the early 1960s - not long after starting work - I was employed in the Motor Department at the Head Office of what was then one of the UK's largest Insurers. Apart from a handful of female clerkesses and shorthand typists, the vast majority of the staff were MEN ... whose ages ranged from 18 to 65. But the amount of back-biting, tale-telling &c.I witnessed [along with snide comments passed at practically every turn] was unbelievable ... a real eyeopener, in fact, for the more tender-hearted youth. And as far as I could guage, none of the women were ever involved!
