Some people just do things for fun, and for the publicity. I just heard of him and his book for the first time.

I doubt he’s very upset.

You catch more flies with sugar than salt.

True but who wants to catch flies? If you did for some reason, you'd be better off using s--t instead of sugar.

Yeah, it’s the kind of stuff you say in your memoir after you retire.

'They have their self-regarding entitlement feminism, and ceaselessly vaunt their independence, but the reality is, come the epidemic plague or foreign invasion, they'd become precisely the sort of useless baggage you'd trade for a box of shotgun shells or a jerry can of diesel.'

Nope, not useless, just dependent on "Toxic Masculinity (TM)" just like the pyschologically healthy ones will be. Nothing intrinsically wrong about it, either.

Combined PING! and DANG!

I’ve worked in IT since 1983 and at 18 different companies. At this point it’s about half women in the workplace. And you can count the attractive ones I’ve worked with all those years on one hand. Same with the conservative ones.

BTW, the cute black secretary that ended up sleeping with pretty much every director doesn’t count.

Don’t forget to buy it in hard copy, because it will be “disappeared” from Kindle.

Inclusive and welcoming my ass....Cupertino is totalitarian

Isn’t it funny how quickly we’ve ....gone from mustering millions of warriors to their kids ..many...who when needed also fought as called upon n steamy jungles for an ambiguous foe to suddenly granting housewives and spinsters cultural parity most probably didn’t even want....and how quickly that produces

The zenith of homosexuality and all its excess

A harridan class of women unhappy and insufferable busybodies

And has basically emasculated the male white race the urban and college educated and middle class ranks up

Just like that...in what 50 years or so

Two generations at most

Most whites women of a certain station as well as minority women too..who have similar status...see themselves as victims and men as oppressors and that domestic life is simply not valid anymore...or they apologize for it

And the bitter irony is....most of the early feminists never had much marriage potential anyhow and many were Marxist red diaper babies for whom feminism was means to a larger end

I blame feminism more than any single cultural and political movement

It was a watershed

Worse yet it started out warm and jiggly

Remember tight Henley body shirts ...often ribbed.....and no bra...

All those squirrels fighting to be free in there...

How could something so evil start as so beautiful

Apple’s doing him a favor. Now he can devote his time to finding an employer where he won’t have to work for or with women.

Ooooo Doodle mad..

Hmmmm, he might have a case, since it appears he was hired long after that was written. Unless they found a work issue as the excuse.

The irony of freeperdom blissfully no self awareness wisdom...

Careful what one writes in public right....lol...

You’re right but most here don’t pay attention to that rule...

Not even

And you can be found out here..

I’m a public freeper and don’t care

But people here think they are hidden are wrong

Too bad the Nolu Chan singlehandedly destroys Klownposse archives are not easy to mine

Good lesson on that....those utter cruel nasty people were exposed very quickly by someone who knew what he was doing

And they deserved it...
In my opinion

Probably not as mad as the guy in the story was when they fired his sorry butt.

I am reminded of Phyllis Diller when she said that her husband took her to one of those wife swapping parties and traded her for some marbles and baseball cards.

“At this point it’s about half women in the workplace. And you can count the attractive ones I’ve worked with all those years on one hand. Same with the conservative ones.”

The female field reps who call om me are all drop dead stunning beautiful. Sex still sells in my business (employee benefits)

I have taken more than one hot female field rep to a client to close up a deal. Those super hot women have those older male business owners stuttering and googlie eyed in 5 seconds flat.

” it is committed to creating ‘an inclusive, welcoming workplace’”

But only if you agree with our Leftist philosophy on politics, race, sex etc etc

So why do we purchase Apple products or have Facebook/Instagram/Twitter accounts?

Yep. They understand human psychology. Attractive women make great salesmen, especially when most of the clients are men as old or older - and sometimes younger. :)
