I am in Vegas this week and I saw a whole lot of women working.  How would these women like a day without men.

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.

Care to share?   

Just kidding.  What goes on in Vegas. . .

I guess you found a pole long enough?

I was thinking about making a joke like that but decided to let somebody else say it.

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.

One day we'll get together over a beer and I'll tell you guys about the MAWWS disease.

I guess you found a pole long enough?

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.

I do mean it in the most scientific way possible as I was a sociology major.

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. 

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!

Q.E.D. Not even gonna bother...

Allow me to publicly apologize if I offended any snowflakes.
