How to gain and lose a friend in 2 weeks.

[Violet]

I despise feminism, but you have such vitriol that I can't resist

Women claim they want to be thought of as equals to men. But how do they do it?

You'll notice that you just made a blanket statement. Not even 'most' or 'many' or 'a good number of'... flat out blanket. Not good plan

1: Stop shaving your armpits, apply no makeup, wear loose-fitting clothing, only shower once every few days, leave your hair in a wild tangled mess! THAT'S REAL PROGRESSION; make all men not want to fuck you! Except for the extremely desperate ones.

There is no such thing as a woman that most men would not like to fuck.

I say that as a woman who lets her armpit hair grow for a good deal of time, never uses makeup, wears a good deal of loose-fitting clothing, only showers once every few days, and leaves her hair in a wild tangled mess.

And I don't even have a vagina. Hasn't been a problem for me to get laid.

* Violet thinks other guys just aren't communicating truthfully to you.

2: Bitch, moan, and whine about every perceived slight against you. If there's even the slightest possible chance that discrimination MAY be aimed at you, get right up on your high-horse and start making speeches about "woman pride." For added benefit, throw in statements about the "almighty uterus."

I may seem prideful in my forum persona, but I actually suffer from low self-image and the knowledge that however talented I might be at anything: almost anyone could be moreso with a little practice.

But if you do call me a man, hell yes I'll defend myself. Being a woman doesn't mean much... but it sure as fuck isn't being a man. And fuck's a damn sure thing for me.

3: Do less than half of the physical labor that the men do, do not innovate new ideas, and/or essentially just be another face in the crowd. Proceed to bitch that the "Y chromosomer" who damn-near broke his back doing the physical labor you couldn't do and/or thought up the ideas you couldn't and/or managed to make himself shine is getting preferential treatment and this is just another example of social misogyny at work.

What's hilarious is that you seem to think women incapable of innovation. Is there an honest difference in the mental capacity of women from that of men? Not that has been discernibly found.

If he damn near broke his back from a little physical labour... I have to wonder about his constitution, and if he is fit for the job in the first place. That is all

1: Play to your beauty. Men like something pretty to look at. If they're gay, it's other dudes but if they're straight or bi, pretty girls are on the menu. USE THIS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. There's nothing wrong with playing to vanity; you get a confidence boost from men checking you out, we get to appreciate beauty, and the effort necessary to shave, shower, and apply makeup shows you are willing to spend time and effort on yourself and therefore that you will be willing to display that effort potentially everywhere!

Even I know this is ridiculous. What they suggest is equality, what you suggest is that women be pretty on the side? Sure, gal: you're infantry... now go put on that makeup and shave your pits!

Also, 'pretty girls' aren't the only type of girl. Not that many men particularly care, but it's true: some girls just look horrible with makeup on. I'm one of them, even a light does of any but earth tones makes me look like an abuse victim. Fitting perhaps, but not what I'm going for

Do you also hold men to this? I can tell you one thing about me: I take a good long look at the guys who are well-groomed. Also: brush your teeth. Please. Beauty and hygiene is not alone the domain of women. ^_^

2: Shuuuut the fuuuuck uuuuuup. I dunno about the other guys on this site but one thing I do not like is listening to another guy bitching and whining about shit instead of nutting up and doing something about it [though it's perfectly fine to bitch and rant about shit you ARE either going to do something about or are doing something about it], WHY in the hell should women assume that we'll treat them any differently?? You want the respect of men? Don't bitch about Kelly talking smack; GO OVER AND BEAT HER ASS, CLAW HER FACE, YANK ON HER HAIR...smoosh your boobs against hers, crawl on top of her, ooo you naughty little kitties, RAWR- ER, I MEAN, uh, just go over and tell her to shut the fuck up and stop talking smack and spreading gossip about you because if she doesn't you'll beat her ass. ...And if she continues, well then, by all means, beat her ass. Show you're willing to take action; we respect that among ourselves and we'll respect you for it, too!

So... we should be violent just because someone's talking smack? Great philosophy, I'd love to see you in charge of a nuclear armed nation.

No wonder women exist: humanity would have died out. And I'm not even talking about reproduction (damn cisgendered women...). Would you rather I rip the uterus out of another woman, or complained about being unable to have babies once in a while when I'm depressed?

3: Don't try to take something on that you cannot follow through with. Do NOT sign up for a physically-intensive position if you weigh all of 110 lbs and can hardly lift a laptop. And if you do, don't expect to go anywhere in that job. At ALL. And if you DO go somewhere in that job? Don't expect any respect from the men at all: No, they're NOT mad that a woman got the promotion instead of them, they're pissed off that someone doing a fraction of the work is making more than them and has higher responsibilities. Doesn't matter if you were a man or a woman; when that happens, nobody respects them! PERIOD. Again, play to your strengths, and stop trying to pretend you're on equal footing with men in all ways. And if you pull your weight and still don't get that promotion, find out why. Pay attention to the politics of your co-workers; determine if one of them is brown-nosing the boss and find a way to snub them out.

Funnily, plenty of men who sign the draft are almost the definition of '110lbs and can barely lift their laptop'. In our nation's time of need: you could be fighting with these guys by your side. Gonna rip them a new one instead of bitching that you got stuck with them in your squad?

Sounds like you just hate CEOs, who basically do a fraction of your work and get paid many times your salary. Funfact... most of them are men. And they don't need your respect: they are riding easy on the money.

Play to your strengths 'blah blah blah'... it doesn't say much of men if their strength is grunt work. By that logic, they should never be promoted: they are more useful where they are

In conclusion: All feminazis need to shut the fuck up. Their bitching tirades are not doing anything more than diminishing respect towards women. Claiming that simply being a woman is cause for respect simply is not true; respect must be earned. Doesn't matter your gender.

Simply being a woman is enough cause to respect my being a woman. Turns out my parents don't.

My gender matters not at all? Funny that it's the primary ongoing battle in my life, then.

I've worked with women quite a bit; they spend 90% of the time at work doing nothing BUT talking. XD Had to deal with an an almost entirely female department at Best Buy. They spent almost every hour of the day doing this thing where two would talk to one another about the other girl, then one would leave. The girl being talked about prior would then come up, and the new pair would start talking shit about the one that had just left. They spent most of their time utterly oblivious to me juggling 5+ customers at a time or restocking shelves or hauling shit all over the department. Same thing happened when I was working at Safeway, at Radioshack, only time it didn't happen nearly as much was at Williams-Sonoma, but then that might have been because I was working the stock room and didn't see what was going on out on the sales floor. XD

Maybe it's a city gal thing, since I've not had that experience at all. Just like all men: all women are different.

I hate having my elder sister at the fish site due to drama, and my younger sister simply doesn't 'stay the course' of the tide. But my niece and my mother are constantly at work, either alongside me or where they're needed

* Violet doesn't sympathize with a job that involves working with customers, hauling shit, and stocking shelves.
