AD – RtR/OS! asked:

What kind of glove do you use to catch a thrown Jimmy Choo?

Since it’s probably been aimed at your head, I don’t think you’re intended to catch it. Man up, and take your lumps!

Even the most perfect outfit becomes irrelevant if the hair isn’t just right.

Most perfect outfit? It’s like a uniform with these girls: jeans, a t-shirt — almost always black — and clunky tennis shoes without the laces being tied.

Did you ever consider asking why?

Oh, wait, I’m sorry: you wouldn’t get a useful answer anyway.

I attended a conference for “Women in Technology” that sounds like the same kind of Victimfest. It was around 1989 or so and it was the most excruciating 2 days of my life. We all worked for the phone company, and we were all technicians and managers on the telecom side. I was the only female tech on my crew, but our foreman was a woman so she and I went together.

I had never been so embarrassed for my gender in my life. The whiny victim mentality was only surpassed by the stupid touchy feely pseudo claptrap you get at every company sponsored “diversity” seminar you’re forced to endure. The fact that it was all women just made it worse for me because I had no one who thought it was a stupid as I did. My boss ate it up. I just sat there and pretty much glared at everyone. I refused to participate in any of the stupid exercises.

I would rather work for and with men any day.

A recent contretemps at my church involved emotional manipulation. It was politics, on the micro scale. The pastor involved was male, and the most responsive people in the congregation were male.

The capacity to be manipulated by emotion is human, though men and women may respond to different cues. I’d guess a capacity for critical thinking reduces the impact; at times I find myself responding to some idiot emotional appeal, think it through, then blow it off.

The conference sounds like torture. I’m a sucker for animal stories, though, they get me every time.

Everyone’s first mistake, and it is a huge one, these are NOT women, they are females of a hominid species. I know the difference. I marched and stood up for Women’s rights only to watch as the females took over: you know, the Queen Bee types. The types with $$$$ who had Dad, Uncle, Husband to fund their “success”. I sincerely apololgize to the majority of real women, like Sarah, that did it on their own!!

He’s just a man.

I think you mean “He’s just a genetically-incomplete woman.”

Hater.

“…or Hillary Clinton’s close second in last year’s presidential contest.”

Um, no. I believe you can credit Hillary for second in a presidential PRIMARY. But clearly, John McCain was second in “last year’s presidential contest.”
