The thing that bothered me most about Barbara Theus' method for manipulating
men was that she seemed to enjoy doing it.  In her article she says several
times "Well, why shouldn't I?"  I didn't hear her say that she had to do this
in order for her to motivate her coworkers (a possible reason advanced
by someone responding to her article.)  In fact, she said nothing in her
article that caused me to believe that she thought about it in a balanced way.
(ie. considering the reasons why she perhaps shouldn't behave like this).
Is she a manager?  If she is then there are more legitimate forms of pressure
that can be brought to bear.  I would hate to see the workplace degenerate
to this state, where there is so little consideration for the humanity of
others.

This is a topic I get quite passionate about.  The one thing I really
dislike in people is an enjoyment in manipulation.  I have very little
respect for people with that attitude.
