For the first time Austin’s city has a majority of women and the city manager doesn’t really know how to handle it.

He’s actually a little concerned that there needs to be some sort of lesson on how to handle women in the city council.


For the first time in the city’s history, the majority of Austin, Tx.’s city council will be comprised of women.

This is such a crazy, momentous event, that the city manager was forced to ask crucial questions: How do you woman? How communicate with woman? What woman do? To solve this problem, the office hosted a two-hour seminar for the city’s employees, featuring, and we kid you not, a man who was an expert on women.

According to the Austin American-Statesman, which sent a reporter to the meeting, the city manager invited two experts to speak to the city’s employees: Dr.

Miya Burt-Stewart, a business development consultant, and Jonathan Allen, the former city manager of Lauderdale Lakes, Fl.

“Allen was considered an expert in this field because his local city commission was all-female,” the Statesman dutifully reported.
