And we are focused on one thing and that is the
demand for gender equity in the treatment of
Dallas city manager Jan Hart these are not the
normal city Hall protesters they are powerful
DALLAS BUSINESSWOMEN ANCHORED BY COUNCILMEMBER
DON HICKS' PUBLIC LASHING OF ONE OF THEIR OWN.
This is that the lady is running this office
like it's a monarch.
The people have nothing to say. It's the
queen's attitude.
THAT'S A SMALL SAMPLE OF THE ATTACKS THAT TWICE
SHUT DOWN WEDNESDAY'S CITY COUNCIL MEETING,
AS HICKS CALLED CITY MANAGER HART, QUOTE,
A QUEEN, AN ELITIST WHO IS PART OF A CONSPIRACY
LIKE THE ONE IN NAZI GERMANY.
Had there been a man sitting in that chair
instead of Jan Hart, there would have never
been that attack right there. Never.
Hicks stood listening as the women asked Hicks
to apologize and said the mayor is also at
fault for allowing Hicks' tirade to continue.
I would grade the mayor's performance an F.
because I didn't know that we had special rules
for people in the city manager's position because
they were women hicks refused to apologize
saying he would have spoken to a man in the
same way
if Duncan stand in this room with this group of
women and feel like he doesn't owe a public
apology to Jan Hart then what are we looking
forward to in the future city manager Hart
declined to comment on whether Hicks' attack
was sexist, but of the women's support, she said,
Sure, it makes me feel good, and I think it
should make everyone in the city,
especially women, feel good that there are
other women out there.
