I’m not talking about managers. I mean the general public. I have a client facing role.
Serious question though, would any in charge and responsible male actually work in social services?
It just seems like it would draw very... passive... males... very... lazy males.
There may be some self selection bias going on where they just really are the worst.

One of my coworkers is a retired Marine. The rest are women. I really like the Marine fwiw.
But my little alcove is housed within a larger much more masculine entity.

I mean they aren't inventing anything, they aren't building anything, they aren't selling anything.
Competition isn't really a social services thing.
You probably get drastically more passive and lazy males than other fields.

ou don't see anything potentially concerning about someone saying "you have zero idea about male relationships because you are a woman"

while also saying "I know all about female relationships because I am a man"?

Nothing about that strikes you as problematic or questionable?
You going to strawman every post I make, or just the last few.

I’m not a social worker. But I work in an office with social workers.
Posted on 8/31/25 at 6:25 pm to 4cubbies
I grew up in foster care, was constantly surrounded by and interacting with Social workers from 8-16 until my foster parents took me in. Mother is a Psychologist, baby sister is a social worker, I am was a lowly educator that worked with dozens of non-profit drop out prevention programs filled with social workers. Wall to wall women.
Was great before I got married.
There is only one profession with more daddy issues than Social Worker. And in that one, poles and pasties are involved

In a super weird coincidence, my son’s friend came over the other day. His mom came inside when she dropped him off and told me a story involving her grandfather. I couldn’t believe she still had a living grandparent. She told me she was adopted from foster care at 16, too. Her mom is only 13 years older than her. Really cool lady.
Do you still teach?

Quit a couple years back, 22 years teaching. Work in tech now.

Yes.

The women teachers are generally a caricature of your ultra woke, progressive meme. If you are talking politics with anyone of the men, the women will rush over to insert their bullshite and damn near demand you parrot that shite back at them.
Tell them to frick off, and you are likely to have to talk with an administrator, as the women will call you all the -ists and -phobes, until they find the one that will get you called to the office.
Tech is a bunch of people that want to work without micromanagement. Loner libertarian types, mostly.

I'd agree on that.
Informative write up.

And you were correct that the article claimed that. The article was mostly incorrect, though. Most of us don’t need our “anxieties calmed” or “our egos stroked”. Now if they talked about “our balls fondled and our cocks sucked” they could have roped in most of us.

But this mid-tier group of women that actually wants partners is totally fricked. Because they're just attractive enough when they're 25 to screw top tier guys and it makes them think that's what they're going to land. They're going to look up in there late 30s like the slow person in a game of musical chairs. Then they might start casting their eyes towards men more in their range but then they have a new problem. A lot of those men will have built a decent careers and have access to slightly better women than they had when they were 25. Not to mention they're going to have a healthy frick you attitude towards these women who suddenly figured out they aren't tens
Im not sure these women will ever settle as there is a pretty noticeable amount of very good looking women who are also "career" types that seemingly design their entire lives around career-ism and this sort of urban lifestyle "fun" or whatever you want to call it. They have nice things, clothes, cars, maybe even a nice condo/loft, great jobs, great connections, but they do not date much at all and talk about how "busy" they are. Also very well travelled, probably dated some well-off guy here or there but was always mostly into her own achievement.
These women will never be settling for anything less than the absolute best they can get which is more likely to be a divorced rich guy than some average joe who is a great person and been solid/dependable his whole life.
A lot of people don't talk about this...but the unmarried people are still going to be options for the married when the married start to weaken a bit...one of the good things about MOST being married is everyone is kind of locked into their situation and less likely to step out.
If there are plenty of decent looking 30-40s women/men out there, thats tons of options for potential divorcees to consider when mulling a possible divorce. In another era they don't have those options.
Either way, I think most of these women still mostly get more than they probably deserve because thats generally been their life themes....always getting the boost from the boomer boss, a nice interviewer than thinks shes attractive....she got good grades, did everything by the textbook AND shes good looking? She can be as entitled as she wants and she still fall into a good spot.
