HOW TO TELL A BUSINESSMAN FROM A BUSINESSWOMAN A businessman is aggressive; a businesswoman is pushy. A businessman is good on details; she is picky. He loses his temper because he's so involved in his job; she is bitchy. When he is depressed (or hung-over), everyone tiptoes past his office; she is moody, so it must be her time of the month. He follows through; she doesn't know when to quit. He's confident; she's conceited. He stands firm; she's impossible to deal with. He is firm; she is hard. His judgments are her prejudices. He drinks because of the excessive job pressure; she's a lush. He isn't afraid to say what he thinks; she's mouthy. He's close-mouthed; she's secretive. He climbed the ladder to success; she slept her way to the top. He is a stern taskmaster; she's hard to work for. He is witty; she is sarcastic.
