Then this will rustle your jimmies....

An artist reversed the roles of some of the more “sexist” ads from the 50’s.

I don't like feminism because it completely discounts women who choose traditional roles. I have a job that I enjoy. But my kids are first and foremost. I will never do anything as important as being a mother. And that means something to me. I don't think I should have to be apologetic for lacking desire to have an impressive career.

Some women do have legit claims of sexism and shite like that but Yeah, there isn't some mass conspiracy to keep women subjugated. I have a cousin who majored in art history and now she is convinced that it's white men's fault that she can't get a job.

Her dad started a very successful oilfield business so she had no shortage of opportunity. She made a 34 on her act but didn't have the common sense to pick a major that would pay. She could have been an engineer but I guess white men kept her from that

funny thing is, other women are more of a detriment to womens’ careers than men


I work in a department with 30 people. 3 of them are women. There is always some sort of drama going on between them. They get everything spoon fed and most of the office does everything possible to make shite easy on them because they are hot. They frick themselves over with the petty shite

She started an all women company to escape drama and men and it ruined her financially
Long article, but the quotes are the gist of it..
quote:

Over in one corner sat Alice, a strong-minded 27-year-old who always said what she thought, regardless of how much it might hurt someone else. In the other corner was Sarah, a thirtysomething high-flier who would stand up for herself momentarily - then burst into tears and run for the ladies. Their simmering fight lasted hours, egged on by spectators taking sides and fuelling the anger. Sometimes other girls would join in, either heckling aggressively or huddling defensively in the toilets. It might sound like a scene from a tawdry reality show such as Big Brother, but the truth is a little more prosaic: it was just a normal morning in my office. The venomous women were supposedly the talented employees I had headhunted to achieve my utopian dream - a female- only company with happy, harmonious workers benefiting from an absence of men.

quote:

It didn't take long for the office to become divided between the girls who wore make-up and those who didn't. Comments from the former were typically 'Doesn't she know what spot cover-up is?' or 'Has she ever met a hairbrush?', while the no-make-up clan were equally biting, with comments - behind their backs, naturally - such as 'People on the morning bus must think she's a prostitute'; or 'She looks like a slapper'. The obsession with appearance meant nearly all the staff were on diets. If I bought a tuna mayonnaise baguette for lunch, I would overhear staff commenting that I was pig - I'm a size 12. Two of the skinny girls often snidely said about the largest girl: 'I'd kill myself if I got that fat.' One of the assistants got her own back on the food police for several weeks by pretending to buy them fat-free lattes. . . which were really full-fat.

I'm a woman, and I steer clear of the efforts of modern feminism.

I appreciate what early feminism accomplished for me and my daughter, but today's hyper politically sensitive outrage against any perceived activity that doesn't put women first is contrary to progress.

Most men have a mom and a wife. Many of us have daughters. Why would men as a group want to suppress women? I’m sure there are a few odd balls.

agreed.

i do not understand the purpose of the recent Women's March. What rights do women not have in this day and times? The gender pay gap is vastly overstated and been proven not to exist.

If there are rights women do not have, then by all means, they should have them. But I think this is more of a cry for attention.

Women are great to have as subordinates bc they will bust their arse for insignificant shite like a cake for their bday and emails praising their efforts. You can’t have all women though bc the pettiness will spread like wildfire

Such a complex

Yeah, white guys should just take the blame for everything and not get annoyed by it. Especially since they get to have special super powers.
