My bestest friend in the whole wide world is a woman, Her passion, her compassion, companionship, and every other single thing about her is priceless. And she loves me, just as I am.

if it's so obviously stupid to make these generalizations, then why on earth should I have to read between your lines or parse the meaning out of anything you say. I resent that you imply that i am not 'smart enough' to do so. YOU should be smart enough to know that if you post something inflammatory, you are going to be jumped on. This is not about MY misunderstanding, but about YOU making a generalized statement, and finding that there are consequences for doing so.Force wrote:Ok, true, I should have worded it better, didn't mean to imply that all women are like that, obviously that's stupid.
I have worked in a number of different offices where the women vastly outnumber the men, and I've seen the same behavior over and over again, to a greater or lesser extent.
And I have women freinds who confirm that yes, women can be like this, in fact, one said "I wouldn't give you 5 cents for a woman's freindship."
This is not to say that men also don't engage in behavior just as bad or worse. Again, you need to parse the meaning out and not jump immediately on someone who points out that women do this, because it's real, and it's making my life fucking miserable, to the point where I've come home so angry that I wasn't in the mood to make love to my wife.
This company just happens to be the worst offender I've come across yet, and so I worded my warning to other men a bit stronger than I guess I should have.
I kind of assumed people are smart enough to read between the lines and understand I'm not saying all women are 100% carbon copies of each other.
Sorry if I offended you, I assumed that no one guilty of that behavior would relate it to themselves.
didn't you just contradict the spirit of your first statement with your second.Force wrote:Yes, you're right, I should be more careful not to give you the chance to flaunt your moral superiority to me.
Come on, did you really think I meant that all women are vindictive vengeful beasts?
well...how does it sound the other way?Force wrote:Yes, you're right, I should be more careful not to give you the chance to flaunt your moral superiority to me.

NEVER join a company run by men unless you're prepared to bear the brunt of all the anger and resentment that men have towards women for years of oppression, discrimination and/or not desiring them despite the fact that they may be hundreds of pounds overweight, abrasive, obnoxious, stupid, etc.
No, actually, anyone with common sense is going to see that a female majority in the executive level will not equal a bad experience 100% of the time.Rian Jackson wrote:force, the point is that the way you wrote your original post you posited that any time you work for a company of women, the results will be equal to your experienecs.
It sounds like something that does happen out there in the business world. I obviously woudn't assume it happens in every male-run business, but I would be stupid to assume the poster meant that it does.tisha2 wrote:well...how does it sound the other way?Force wrote:Yes, you're right, I should be more careful not to give you the chance to flaunt your moral superiority to me.

That statement sure doesn't leave a whole lot of room for interpretation. The emphasis on NEVER especially says to me that it was meant as a generalization. Maybe they're punishing you not because you're a man and they are man haters, but because you're an incompetent chauvinist who suspects every assertive woman (especially an unattractive one) of being the vagina dentata.NEVER join a company run by women unless you're prepared to bear the brunt of all the anger and resentment that women have towards men for years of oppression, discrimination and/or not desiring them despite the fact that they may be hundreds of pounds overweight, abrasive, obnoxious, stupid, etc.

Maybe you should get off your high horse so we could have a discussion, though I know it's more fun for you to feel superior.

Sorry, but I still feel that you're just flaunting your moral superiority by jumping on me for not wording my post exactly politically correctly.
And it's unfair for me to expect the reader to not use common sense so as to not jump all over my case why?GuinivereElise wrote:Force wrote:No, actually, anyone with common sense is going to see that a female majority in the executive level will not equal a bad experience 100% of the time.Rian Jackson wrote:force, the point is that the way you wrote your original post you posited that any time you work for a company of women, the results will be equal to your experienecs.

um, no one denied that women can discriminate.Force wrote:And my original premise (which you didn't state what your perception was, so it's hard for me to discuss) that women could discriminate is far-fetched because why, exactly?
