The rationale given (and this does NOT reflect my own opinions) was that each of those categoreis was more stable (than married women or single men, respectively). The idea is that married women are likely to have children and therefore leave, either temporarily or permanently. Single men, on the other hand, have no ties to hold them anyplace and therefore are much more likely to move on quickly. As I said, I don't agree with this view. But it does sound believable as something management would buy. Billie Goldstein BTL Neptune
