  • Ooh, new attack fem thinks she's ripping me a few more holes.

    Brightstar, having actually worked in a male dominated profession where women in management were resented because generally they worked harder, longer and better than their male counterparts, while fellas like you whined about affirmative action and not getting promoted...

    I am the best at what I do- marketing. Nobody comes first before me at my firm in my position. Having said that-- women are normally resented not because they work harder or less hard but because often they cannot control their typical viscerally and noticably repulsive personalities. Men seem to be better at this role of being more delicate and TACTFUL at work, whereas women barge in and decide to deflate everyone around them just because they can and because it makes them feel superior. I worked for a bitch like this, she worked so much she was obese from the stress, and she did it for less money then pissed and moaned about it. When it came time for the promotion of someone to a new office opening up, she was passed over for a more decent, gentle guy, who has some TACT and who did not work as hard. This makes sense, nobody wants to work under a drill sergeant and higher ups do not want prickly out of control hyper-id driven employees with superiority complexes. GENDER IS NOT A FACTOR HERE. Live with it.

    let's just say, for medicore male employees, women have already proven they they are more productive, competent and creative employees....

    All women? nice broad brush there.

    while getting less pay, and constantly having to prove themselves.

    There is this myth of less pay. If this is so, there are TENS OF THOUSANDS of attorneys just chomping at the bit to get the opportunity to file a VERY PROFITABLE LAWSUIT on behalf of any woman who has a PROVABLE offense in this regard. I know you women feel you can spout any gibberish unchallenged because men have3 typically ignored you freaks. But the times have changed and men no longer sit silent when lies are spouted by man hating women.

    In the meantime, I hear all this stuff about how hard guys work. Well, they do work...their golf game, and figuring out how to kiss up to the boss.

    Women NEVER kiss up to the boss? All guys golf? Golf is not a way to bond with clients and figure out how to work with them? Is everything so painful to you?

    Your problem is that a woman working part time can do your job. In fewer hours, and for less pay.

    Here comes the inevitable ad hominem attack ,right after the lazy cliches and naked and false broad brush generalities.

    And it isn't all that hard.

    Well, here I agree with you. HL Mencken in his great book "In Defense of Women" said it best (as usual) when he described most men's labors as simpleminded and repetitive, something trained monkeys could perform. But of course, men are not women, we do not have the LUXURIES women have to nurture our spirits with fulfilling work-- with few exceptions IT DOES NOT PAY. so while we men struggle to find ways to make more money, to become more, to prove we are worthy of you bitches, all you can do is knock us down again and again.

    What else to expect from women except damn near nothing?

  • Au Contraire, Mon Freak

    On the other hand the technological, economic and cultural basis for men to have any real power to equalize women's sexual power is gone, so while men may be more aware there won't be much they can do about it.

    Au contraire. Look, listen and learn.

    Much of women's success to date has been due to the right men being asleep.

  • You have to live with yourself. A pitiful thing.

    I do not blame feminism for my problems either, I do blame feminism for lots of other things though.

    I could care less about co-opting you, you seem like a jerk and a ninny.

    we do agree, not that I care, because I decry FGM, in both its extreme and mild forms. I also decry MGM. Ultimately I decry ALL forms of baby mutilation, regardless of gender, which makes me superior to YOU.

    Another way I am superior is because I am not selling out my gender just so I can be a good slave and have someone to sleep with tonight.

  • It gets worse

    the peaches were picked by slave Mexican labor. They were sprayed with toxic chemicals which killed all the frongs and then sold at Wal*Mart/

    Also the plastic the peaches are sold in has phthalates which leach into the water and change the gender of the fish

    The peaches are shipped from halfway around the world

    Raw sewage is leaking onto the peach tree fields

    Evil corporations are genetically modifying the peaches so they accidentally produce enzymes and amino acids that will give you cancer of the sphincter in forty years, when of course you will be forced to spend all your money to be cured, because there will be no private insurance anymore and only the wealthy will have access to governmemnt sponsored med care.

    The corporation that owns the peach growers is actively sending money to prop up the one world government fascists.

    A trade dispute with the nation handing us the offending fruit will get into an international spat that will eventually lead to WW Five

  • Can't put my finger on it

    greedy?

    entitled?

    princess?

    If I were to suggest that maybe this is one indicator of how society is falling apart, I think I would not be far off.

    If I were her dad, I'd kick her out of the house for even suggesting such a thing.

    She can go earn her money the old fashioned way. Go find a sugar daddy.
