Real Estate Industry Still a Sausage Party
Merle Gross-Ginsberg recalled a dinner hosted by the Real Estate Board of New York back in 1975, where she, Leona Helmsley and one other woman were grossly outnumbered by some 1,800 men—"all smoking the most enormous cigars you've ever seen," she said.
The industry's vast gender gap has slowly begun to close in recent years. Yet, even at the Association of Real Estate Women's 30th Anniversary gala at the Mandarian Oriental Hotel at Time Warner Center on Thursday night, males still dominated the crowd by about 2 to 1. Maybe even 3 to 1.
"There's a lot of dick," noted one woman attorney surveying the crowd during the cocktail hour.
In fact, two of the three recipients of the organization's outstanding achievement awards were men: Richard J. Mack of Apollo Real Estate Advisors and Kent Swig of Swig Equities.
Hey, Mr. Swig, how does it feel to be one of the top women in real estate?
"It feels lovely," he said, laughing, following the presentation, "although I don't want to tell my wife that I'm a top woman in real estate."

"There's a lot of dick," noted one woman attorney surveying the crowd during the cocktail hour.
And at least one bitch.
The sad thing is that generally women are much better in business than men. In addition, women are less inclined for criminality in business than men. Just look at the number of men who have done everything from backdating options, to accounting scandals, to outright theft, to god knows what just to show they can swing their pud wider than the other guy's and get away with it! In contrast, successful women juggle children, a homelife and their careers without giving any thought to who has the larger trouser snake! But the world here in America is a boy's club that does all it can to deny women admittance!
It's always fun to see how Victorian moralism is the defining characteristic of feminism.
Somehow, the same people who believe men are the root of all evil in the world don't seem to understand that chaos, anarchy, and human misery has increased exponentially since the dawn of radical feminism 40 years ago.
There is a connection. Think about it.
Atilla the Hun, Charles Manson, Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, Ted Kazynski, John Wayne Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, etc. are all byproducts of radical feminism, aat least according to poster #3, who should really get a life!
Dottie Herman, Barbara Corcoran, Pam Liebman, Kelly Kennedy Mack, Faith Hope Consolo and other women are the top players in New York City real estate for a reason: They are better at it than men. Perhaps their morality is at a higher level than that of men, or perhaps they just have more talent! Either way, they're on top in a business of independent contractors where no man can place a glass ceiling on top of them.
You gotta love a knucklehead like the third one above! Until this person stated it so succinctly and authoritatively, I had no idea that women, not men, are responsible for the increase in chaos, anarchy and human misery. WOW! It's pit bulls like this that should lower their steroid and human growth hormone levels!
