The Financial Times has long specialized in recycling the tired orthodoxies of the liberal establishment, but the patronizing and, ironically, sexist drivel contained in one editorial from this weekend’s edition takes some beating:

Here’s an extract:

“In an era when businesses must pay attention to much more than just short-term profit [investment banks] need to promote those who can balance many different objectives at once – something women have done through the ages. As Mr Spitzer continues his clean-up after the bubble he might consider adding one more demand to his list of remedies. Insist that every investment bank appoints a woman to at least one of the three top jobs.”

Pathetic.
