100 Easy Ways to Make Women's Lives More Bearable
Vice ^ | March 8, 2018 | Dani Beckett

Posted on 03/13/2018 9:24:36 AM PDT by C19fan

Every year, I wake up on March 8 to a flurry of tweets from men wishing me a “Happy International Women’s Day!”

And every year, I find myself thinking: Well, thanks, but is that it? Is that all the support for gender equality that you can muster? For the entire year? It’s a nice sentiment, but at a time when the gender pay gap means that women in the UK work for free for 67 days each year, Black women in the US are three to four times more likely to die in childbirth than white women, and trans women in the US are four times more likely to be murdered than cis women, it doesn’t quite do it for me.

Fine, my pronouns are:

1. milord

2. Master

3. Your Imperial Majesty

That usually shuts them up. . .

I don’t even tell my MALE colleagues what my salary is. .

But if I must tell a woman (because she demands it. . ), I smile, and say:

“A ***lot*** more than yours, honey. . “

7. Be kind to women in customer service positions. Tip them extra. (But not in a creepy way.) Yeah, right. Who will define what ‘ creepy ‘ even means?

It means "bills inserted into G-string".

Apparently. Such an idiotic comment. These “feminists” are so messed up.

Or maybe just find normal women and hang out with them.

lol - the “why” is screaming for an answer!

First, I’m not sure I accept the assertion, where is she getting this from?

Assuming it is true, these MEN have mental health issues, so-called “transgender” concepts are not backed by science. So MEN with mental health issues, that hang around other MEN with mental health issues, experiencing a higher murder rate surprises me not. It is only logical. That said, don’t tell me I’m the problem, which is implied by her.

You just can’t make this stuff up. The irony is dripping all over this piece. It’s a “let me hate on men while telling them how to behave” list. Genius. I love this one:

53. Refuse to speak on an all-male panel.

Doesn’t that perpetuate the problem? Isn’t that a self-fulfilling prophecy? It’s frightening that these people exist.

I’ll put the seat down after use. That’s all. No to the others.

Ridiculous bull$hit.

19th-century women writers, like Louisa May Alcott, painted positive portraits of relationships between women and men, which is something 21st-century feminists reject.

Great women writers from past centuries are often marginalized in academic circles in favor of modern women writers who are promoting liberal ideology.

This is not to you C19, but the author..

Oh jeez, I was going to go point by point and reply, but basically, I just can’t. I can’t even.

XX = Female
XY - Male

That’s it. That’s all there is to make up the differences.

I’ll keep my legs slightly apart, because frankly, I’d rather not squash the goods. Would you mind pressing your torso against the door/glass/window? No, because it’s uncomfortable.

And, lastly, thank you have a great day ma’am! (in other words, I ain’t reading the rest of her screed, because who needs that kind of headache?)

Ironically in my industry it’s pretty easy to accurately determine what anyone else is making and despite there being proportionately few women in this business the ones who are typically are the highest earners.

That aside, this list is about the most ridiculous effing pile of shit I’ve read all year.

don't feel the need to go and check for yourself

Mrs WBill gets after me about this.

I'll be checking the weather. She says "It's sunny and 53 out". I say, "Great" and keep checking. She gets mad.

It's easier than asking, "What's the high going to be today? How about tonight and tomorrow? Will it rain later? What does the weather map look like? What's the weather going to be this weekend? Is it going to rain, because I need to work outside. Rain on which day? What about Friday, because that'll make the grass too wet to mow on Saturday..." and so on, and so on.

Not all women have periods, but most of them are probably retired or want to be.
