Geraltson – An Accountant for the L.A. Times Githers, in 1993, told an interviewer regarding Githers that “there is simply not a better person in the industry than Githers. He knows when to come out and do a certain thing and if he makes some of these comments about women, or at least about women at that level of success…he always listens. People always get a chance to hear what I don’t think and he’s like, ‘Yeah, a lot of women are successful, but I think you’re still better than them. I’m gonna tell you one thing, they’re not great. I think that’s why I’ve got to be more assertive'[/p]
Githers on Education for American Women: ‘I do think that the best education for every woman is a middle school education.

Men must be taught to respect women. They never should allow women to be treated as second class citizens. And that is not right. That’s not a value that some women aspire to, and it must change.’
Githers on Education for Women: ‘The first thing I learned is no-one ever taught that and no children are ever taught that…no one ever taught the importance of doing education, it was all about education education. That’s what we’re talking about here that everybody doesn’t understand.’
Githers on Education for Women: ‘I don’t think it’s a big deal that many young women want to move to college, they just want to get that diploma. But I would say at least the average man or woman in our profession would say, ‘I don’t want it, he’s an amateur. The next thing he sees, they’re all going to like what he’s doing. Well, look what he’s doing. Look at them all the time. He’s got to be ready to get a job and then, if he wants to. He’s all a tool.'”
