“A Man’s Got to Know His Limitations” - Dirty Harry, Magnum Force

Youbtube is a force for good.

Just sayin’

They don’t see men as fully human. Men are just a resource to be pillaged, nothing more.

If you doubt this, probe a feminist on all sorts of issues regarding the basic human rights of men. You may not like what you find..

Kids are the get out of jail free card

sorry I was late, had to bring kid to school
sorry, gotta take a long lunch bringing a kid to the dr
hey, gonna cut out early, its halloween and gotta get the kid into her costume
hey those 15 personal calls a day aren’t a bother, its just my kids asking this and that and this and that

and don’t even get me started on having two women pregnant in the same office at once….OMFG….I don;t care about your ultrasound and your kankles or then when they are born and they compare spit up and gaga’s for four hours across the cubicles

I go out to the warehouse to hear testosterone stories just to clear my head

“I hope that we continue to work together to find ways that women can be as successful in their careers as men without giving up personal goals.”

Good luck with that.

I think that in our days all the feminist talk is redundant regardless what side of politics it comes from. It mostly generates a large amount of pure bitchiness and is rarely constructive. I doubt there are many men or women that would not agree that women should have opportunity for developing carrers, as men do. However, the notion that men have to have the same opportunity to care for their children as women have is not voiced as loudly and frequently.

Men can be as wonderful parents as women are. Children certainly benefit from having both parents around, and even more so when both parents have happy and fulfulling lives. Women and men should have the same privileges in child rearing as women have, i.e. flex time etc, so each family can decide for themselves who has carrer and when.

The guys in your office doing your job would disagree.

From a business perspective, what is craved is SURETY in the workforce. The potential that a person will call off, because one of their children is sick, creates chaos to them. THIS is why flexibility is an issue. Flex can be OK if nothing is deadline driven, but… In the interest of maximizing and just-in-time, everything is schedule driven and in Project for major milestones.

So, businesses pay a premium for allowing the chaotic flex, and the worker is the one that pays the difference.

Flextime ISN’T a problem if it’s the same every day, but with kids it often isn’t.

There are business cases for all this stuff, but in the interest of political correctness, everybody acts like it shouldn’t be so.

Oddly when a female boss needs extra work done to cover for someone who just left to pick up the kids, as they do everyday at the same time, who do they look to?

The divorced guy who “doesn’t have responsibilities”? Hmmm, yeah, I just get to pay for it all.

We worked for most of the first year for nothing and are now in a position to hire people across the US. We have a pretty standard deal. If you bring some business on board with you, we will pay you 30% of the gross profit on that business until it gets to a salary level we agree upon. Thereafter, we pay that salary plus a smaller percentage of the GP on the business you brought (and on the business we give you).

Here’s our experience. Women, who dominate our industry, will not take that deal. Most of the women we interview have business relationships, but they expect us to exploit them prior to their doing the related work. Men, on the other hand, generally have fewer business relationships in place, but will work to close the deals in the hope that they will get a predictable salary (almost all do).

Our impression is that the women we interview have an advantage over men, but refuse to exploit it. It appears to us that they want something for nothing, whereas the men are generally working on the come to make an opportunity work for them.

Obviously this is all anecdotal evidence from a statistically irrelevant sample set, but by now, we are never surprised when women do not take our deal. We expect them not to. On the other hand, we expect that most men will have success in our business.

Not sure what all this means. Just thought I’d mention it.

First thing on my to-do list tomorrow - incorporate. Second thing: Don’t pay myself a salary. Third: Live off corporate cash in company housing and travel on the company dime. Taxes anywhere!

Meanwhile, Fred2, millions of American kids are malnourished and sick because we have no tax revenue….whatever, screw them, I’m livin’ the dream.

I am willing to pass laws to ensure that 50% of all Fortune 500 CEOs are women (despite the accelerated turnover this would create in the ranks of the Fortune 500), if we also legally mandate that 50% of all imprisonments are of women, and 50% of the jobs that involve working with heavy machinery, being outdoors in inclement weather, inhaling toxic fumes, or apprehending dangerous criminals are also occupied by women. Fair is fair. Any takers?

The costs of feminism, currently borne by men, are about to transfer back onto women.

Well, it used to be that you could go to the EEOC and get that problem sorted. However, these days, there’s plenty of girls out there with degrees in Communication Studies to take over that HR representative gig.
