Title: "Day Without A Woman"
Post by: punaperson on March 08, 2017, 08:23:52 AM
So, I haven't bothered to check the TV news to see if it is male only today in the broadcast world as the women stand in solidarity with each other, but what about those of you at work places? All the women absent?

All women who I work with (8-10) at 3 different companies are here today. All are dedicated to their jobs and do a good job at what they do.

With that said, we are presently in crunch time. One person out of work this week can cause real problems. Not sure if that is an influence on their decision to come into work or not?

Didn't notice anything different here.  Male dominated field, but we have a good amount of female employees here. 

However, my aunty in VA said that whole school districts are off today as many women requested off to either celebrate or protest today.  [facepalm]

Some questionable leaders of their movement.   These wahines want to be treated equally but always like to separate women from men and yet like to scream about the rights of mahus who don't like any mention of gender.
Some background stuff on their protest.

I think women have some psychological need to feel like a victim.

Asking for credit and thanks for things that men also do without either.

You left out that one from Houston that looks like a gorilla, and that Dauro or something bag lady from some NE state..

And what happened to Patsy Schoeder now that we need her to kick around some more?  A face full of hate through and through.

Hehe. I do mean it in the most scientific way possible as I was a sociology major. Obviously it is difficult for some snowflakes to see the difference between the scientific question and the sexist stereotype.

The inherent problem with these "protests" or "strikes" is that they prove the opposite point: when the women/lawyers/politicians/cops/doctors etc. "strike" not only do things not come to a standstill or catastrophe ensue, but often conditions improve.

The local liberal rag West Hawaii Today (WHT) ran a pic of these feminazis standing in the road with their idiot signs and got negative comments about them endangering and obstructing traffic.  I had to laugh at the meaningless signs:

"Change"  Change WHAT?

"Resist"  Resist WHAT?

They looked to be the usual group of hefty older white woman.

Hardly. I was commenting on "protests"/"strikes" in general not having the intended effect. (Of course there are legitimate logical and obvious reasons for crime going down when cops strike (no one is writing tickets, taking crime reports, etc), or hospital deaths declining when doctors/nurses strike (no elective surgeries, etc.), or things running better when politicians/lawyers strike (they don't do anything but mess stuff up, so when they stop...).

The "no pole long enough" image was to your comment:

"I think women have some psychological need to feel like a victim."

I will only comment on that after I've read the research (which you apparently studied as a sociology major: "I do mean it in the most scientific way possible as I was a sociology major.") upon which you base that comment. My girlfriend is a sociology professor, so I'll have her look at your referred research too.

I was not making a scientific claim at that point, just a personal observation. However it was a personal observation that could be examined using sociology and psychology.

Relax, I wasn't making fun of you, just playing off your comment and your previous reference to the no pole long enough idea.

Now, here's an "exercise" for you. Pretend that the above statements were written, in the order as written above (by you), by anyone else, say Flapp_Jackson as an example. Please analyze the claims stated and tell us whether you conclude the person writing them was being honest and truthful, or whether they were back-tracking, diverting, obfuscating, etc. I think I know your answer (see previous sentence), but just thought I'd ask. For fun. Or something. After that, please give us your opinion as to exactly why Bill Clinton, in a sworn deposition re his activities with Monica Lewinsky answered a question with: "It depends on what the meaning of "is" is."

Allow me to clarify as maybe I was being overly technical.

When I said I wasn't making a scientific claim, I meant that I wasn't referring to some established body of evidence supporting my claim and I wasn't saying that I was in the process, or about to, be in a course of research into testing my theory. However I would find it quite interesting were such a course of study undertaken to answer the observation I was making. I hope that clears it up.  :thumbsup:

For example, someone could make the comment that women appear to be worse drivers. This can be an insult or it could be an observation that can actually be tested by using statistical data on car crashes.

The mere fact you are trying to rationalize a purely sexist stereotype against women by saying there is some "body of evidence" that can explain it as fact just compounds your original. comment with more layers of BS.

You really should have stopped while you were not as far behind! ???
