Come on, men are not being chased out of blue-collar work because women are taking their jobs.
Illegal men are taking their jobs and/or driving the wages down.
And agreed—professional childcare is a ridiculous solution for all but highly paid professionals. The women I know who combine childcare and a middling job do it because their men either want whatever marginal income such a situation can yield and/or in essence are envious of their wives not working externally while raising a family—yet uninterested in stayig home with the kids themselves.
We would be a lot better off if more people weren’t interested in material rewards ahead of having a parent (usually mom) home with the kids when they are young.
They live in cities where the jobs have not yet come and are either retired or incompetent, unemployable. There is no hope for them unless they migrate out of the welfare laden cities.
Why work when you can brow beat your female slave?
I don’t doubt that, it’s just the last 3 shop jobs I’ve had had no drug testing. If you showed on time and actually worked, I don’t think they cared what you did on your free time. So, as I said, those people don’t want to work.
All those group projects are in coed schools too.
They don’t help anyone but teachers, who are looking to a) have less homework to grade, b) get to spend less time actually teaching while in class, c) be popular with their students, and d) assist in collectivist indoctrination.
If they were actually going Galt, they’d have opened up their own businesses and would not be out of the workforce.
Sitting on your butt is not going Galt.
There’s the ageing of the population, but Obama also piled people into disability benefits—and once people are approved for that they don’t want to risk such a lifelong gravy train for what could end up being a short-term job.
You make the incorrect assumption they all arent doing anything.
I used to work as an MRO, trust me, if you are required to screen your employees, it is hard to keep people hired. Even if the whole shop signs an agreement not to use, a good portion will pop positive. Usually after the have had an accident.
So the bums are breaking our laws and not paying for their country because they feel like they have got looked over for a job or whatever? You do realize, I hope that most colleges now discriminate in favor of men, because they have many more female applicants, but the women aren’t interested in attending a college that approaches a 60% female tipping point.
I am not for affirmative action in anything and I would send every last illegal home with a 20-year moratorium on importing unskilled labor at all.
But men still experience discrimination in lots of the most desirous professions from finance to the arts. Surely pouting and shirking are not the solutions.
When women claim to have problems, society asks why.
When men do, they do what you do and just put them down and shame them.
See ya.
I understand, but there are plenty of small shops who will hire someone who’s not a complete idiot, but who may have smoked some weed in the past month. Not teally disagreeing with you, just saying if someone really wants to work, they can probably find it. I think the problem isvthat avlot of people don’t want to work.
Education still harps on “increasing opportunities for women,” even as we’ve blown past that 60/40 tipping point. All education pedagogy is geared toward making instruction more amenable to females.
Was it a bleak post for you? I didn’t see the nearby civilian towns during training, because we were under total control the whole time (no passes except for the one between the two phases). But some civilians in the Ozarks during the ‘70s said that the scenery was more than a little goon-ish around St. Roberts and Waynesville. ;-)
In the driveway. I work on my classic cars every day. I don’t show up on any employment rolls
Agreed—women and unqualified minorities.
They’re dumbing down the STEM fields now.
Just horrible.
Although it was a Federal job, I was happy for a neighbor who got a job at a nearby radar site. (A site he could see from his house, and could bicycle to work!)
After only three months, he tested positive for marijuana, and was let go.
Don’t tell me that marijuana is harmless!
Let's not forget the face tattoos that many of 'em are getting to emulate their heroes Lil' Peep and Lil' Pump ---forgetting that they are not millionaire Sound Cloud rappers.
“Men have sacrificed and crippled themselves physically and emotionally to feed, house, and protect women and children. None of their pain or achievement is registered in feminist rhetoric, which portrays men as oppressive and callous exploiters.”
Camille Paglia
Have you read “Domestic Tranquility: A Brief Against Feminism” by F. Carolyn Graglia?
It’s a 1998 book which I’ve been reading lately. Frankly, it could be written a little better (some of the sentence structures irk me). But the content is very good. Graglia was born in 1929. Came from a poor background, went on to become an attorney in the 1950s. Eventually became a stay-at-home mother and never regretted it.
She explains that Feminism is a weapon aimed at mothers and children and intended to make the role of a housewife virtually unacceptable. Women had many options before Betty Friedan ever showed up, but the lot of women (and children) has been going downhill pretty steadily for 60 years or so — thanks to Feminism.
It’s a very interesting book. It also has a large section on sexuality and argues that married women prior to the sexual revolution tended to have surprisingly good sex lives. But with promiscuity (aided by birth control as well as Feminist values) sex became a very different thing and today many women find themselves quite unhappy. This feeds into Date Rape and #Metoo (1998 book doesn’t mention that!). It just seems like women have got a really bad deal all around. But they’re brainwashed to think that today “things are so much better”. It’s just another Leftist lie.
