Sexism

I've been deathly sick the last few days so I have nothing to do other than get better and languish on the internet. This could also help Adonael take his mind off things.

I found this article both funny and relevant. Instead of linking I copied and pasted the entire thing:




It’s a man’s world? Bullshit. So there some legislative hearings about what you can keep in your vagina and dudes may try and holler from construction sites. Women rule the world. Especially now. Women control countries and Fortune 500 Companies. They are the sole reason any of us got a paying job and don’t weigh 600 lbs. Plus their hair smells like coconut! Save your glass ceiling arguments for someone less misogynistic. Here are 5 reasons why it’s a women’s world. Call them petty, but I’d be willing to trade my reproductive rights for these awesome advantages in an unborn baby’s heartbeat. Oh, lighten up.

5. Nightlife
How many times has a humorless bouncer told you that the club is at capacity only to lift the velvet rope for eight iPhone-clutching hotties plus three fat ones a moment later? Women rule nightlife with an iron vagina. And that’s just the entrance. Once you finally get in, you see the same squad chugging $600 bottles at some schmuck’s VIP table like gazelles at an African watering hole. Girls can drink a club dry without spending a dollar. Guys can’t even Google the place’s address without dropping a Benjamin. Unless you’re the creepy guy standing in the corner with a flask, and nobody wants to fuck that guy.

4. Facebook
Every day I craft inspiring and clever status messages on life, love and society that constantly go unnoticed. Some 17-year-old posts a bikini-selfie and instantly receives 300 likes and an endorsement deal from Lululemon. And don’t forget those weird toilet pics. Girls post photos of each other squatting with underwear around their ankles and it’s hilarious. I take one mupload of my Chipotle shits and my account gets deactivated.

3. Hooking Up
There’s a website that’s gaining some traction among women known as HeTexted.com. The basic premise is that girls submit screenshots of “boys”s (I hate that word, don’t you?) texts, and anonymous posters chime in to figure out what said boy really meant. You know what my response would be to every single text?

“IT MEANS HE’S TRYING TO BEAT!”

You always hear women lament that they can ever find a guy. Blatant falsehood. They just can never find a guy who they deem worthy enough to have a meaningful relationship with. Any woman, I don’t care who you are or what you look like, can walk into a bar (or a Best Buy, for that matter) and find at least ten guys who are willing to have sex with her right there, on the spot, next to the memory cards. They may not find the perfect candidate for a boyfriend, but who can these days? Men have to be charming, funny and smart to close. Women just have to maintain homeostasis. And for some guys, that’s not even a deal breaker.

2. Working Out
Bench. Jerks. Cleans. Pull-ups. Pull-downs. Pushups. Dips. Squats. Curls. Lifts. Fuckin’ kettlebells. What do girls have to do at the gym? Elliptical for 20 minutes and some crunches while texting their besties. Women may constantly buy new clothes and makeup to keep up with Vogue, but their gym routine is a joke. And while yes, not every lady is blessed with a speedy metabolism, it doesn’t really matter. See #3.

1. Their Firm Grasp on Men’s Balls
While it may be a myth that men think about sex every seven seconds, it’s not far off. As a result, everything we do is motivated by an innate desire to attract women. Any productive thing we do is an effort to increase our chances of impressing the fairer sex. Ask any guy who has done something great the reason why he did it. I bet “to score” is at least in the top 3. The Beatles, Steve Jobs, and Gandhi all left their mark on civilization for one reason. Especially Gandhi, that horndog. A platonic friend from college once told this dude she that liked his basketball jersey. He proceeded to wear that ugly turquoise Pistons throwback every single week for the next four years. I’m writing this blog in hopes that some girl with a sick sense of humor will find it funny. I don’t think any woman operates her life like that.

Yes, “appeasing men” isn’t really why women rule the world, but these day-to-day interactions definitely point to who’s really running the show. Do you disagree? Find this disgustingly backwards? Have women fall over your every command? I hate you, Ryan Gosling, get off my blog. Leave your thoughts in the Comments Section!!!






Did some further reading. You might feel 50/50 on the issue after reading comments from both males and females:

Personally, it's been difficult to ignore and not notice this sexism at work. From time to time there will be a young girl on the site and it's impossible to not notice the advantages they get. This isn't being very alpha, it's being realistic. When they need something any guy is willing to fall absolutely head over heels and go to any length to help. Even me, I was very forthcoming in handing over one of my tools to a girl for removing wallpaper. I was getting by without it (I had figured out how to do the job without using it much, but I still needed it handy for more difficult areas) For some reason she kept breaking hers. And when she completes a room she gets godly praises and astonishments. When I finish 2 rooms in a day I get "It's about time.." and "You're getting there!" Even so, just be very fun and kind to her  Wink

Then there was another girl that was with the electrician. She was obviously in training, but in this case I noticed how little she did and accomplished in a day, (this is going to sound insensitive) but was just about nothing, literally. Maybe put a couple screws in, but mainly getting her boss lunch and coffee. She was even able to go home several times throughout the day. Not only that but she couldn't follow directions very well and he would often yell at her, sometimes very rudely. It's anyone's best guess as to why she was there or even came to be there in the first place. It's a very professional environment and everyone is getting paid well. Every once in a while there's even a camera crew on site doing walkthrough interviews with owners and tons of other specialists walking around for things you never thought needed them. I was also pretty certain she and the electrician were getting something like $40-$50 an hour while everyone else got in the ballpark of $15-$20. But hey, we're manly men, take it all and stride. Sucks that the girls inevitably live easier, more fulfilling lives. I remember either reading or seeing on tv that the majority of men are sex deprived, and that men often regret not being more 'adventurous' in their youth. While women often regret having too many partners. Interesting huh? Also, when I look at friends and family, it's the female that holds all the keys, hands down. At any moment they can leave the guy, take the kids, force him to pay child support. fucking bs. I'm starting to lose my composure again

A lot of places I've worked everyone was treated equal, except for two places.

Popyeyes I worked for eastern Indains. They pretty much treat everyone like crap if you're not Indian. Still was pretty equal for both sexes.

A Walmart I worked at in the past however, was ran by a powerful female figure, so female promotion was at a high percentage. Woman like to stick together. In that term quality wasn't exactly there.

Yes I do agree "dating" and other subjects are easier for woman do to the fact no matter what a woman looks like someone somewhere wants to fuck her. Which doesn't make sense to me. I'm not a sextually motivated person, don't get me wrong, I love sex and having a lot of it, but I'm more towards the  compainionship not the sex. So its hard for women to use that towards me, but I've seen a lot of men fall for it and honestly it's their own fault.

I've also seen a male clerk bump a female ahead in a line I was in because she had breast and he wanted to flirt.

All in all, I see the points in the topic, but it really boils down to the fact women love attention and that's what all this is about.

There's not much of a good way to respond to this thread. Though you managed to do it. Good Job  Smiley
