The growing problem for women.

[KimGordon67]

Every American has the opportunity to succeed. What one does with that opportunity is of their own making.

LMAO ... that's hilarious. Do you do stand up? Because you totally should.

Can you refute that instead of making personal attacks on the poster??

What groups are denied what opportunities in the USA?

I prefer Zip Ties. They don't pull hair.

I... I disagree wholeheartedly. They sure as fuck do pull hair.

We've had an incident here recently that's roused the issue of male violence, with the inevitable #notallmen response. It's sort of the first time I've seen that hyper-defensive response up close and personal ... so weird. Like, these guys are *really* taking the idea that maybe men's violence against women (and other men) is actually a problem that men could address as some sort of direct and inherently personal attack.

In our defense- like I also hate the #notallmen thing, but you've got to give me some slack. Like yhall... it really does just suck to be lumped in with these people, and all you can do is stand there screaming, "But I'm one of the good ones! Please believe me!"

It's not that it feels like a personal attack. It's a group attack. It's just that you can't fix the group, and you're part of the group, and it's really frustrating and kind of scary? Like I have to go into enclosed genders spaces with these people in a way that yhall don't, KNOWING that they hold views like this, and KNOWING that if I slip up at all and that homophobia comes out I'm fucking fucked.

I'm not trying to say that male privilege doesn't exist or whatever, I'm just trying to explain this mindset. I get that it's cowardly but I'm so small and frail and some of these good ol boys work out and shit. If I try to police this shit they can beat my ass. So what happens is that you're part of a group, but you're also outside that group, but you can't escape it and you can't change it. So sometimes when people are like, "Ugh, men are the worst" and you've been dealing specifically with the fact that men ARE the worst in some way, you don't know what the fuck to do about it. So the kneejerk reaction is to try to separate yourself.

I had to do a lot of work to stop doing that. Because it's really fucking hard. And because I've done that work, it aggravates me when other people won't also do it, but also like... I get how hard it is. You don't WANT to be lumped in with the rapists and assailants, but like, I've got a dick so fuck me, I will be. Not because it's a personal attack, not because I think that you're talking about me, I KNOW it's not me. It's because I know that yhall don't know you're not talking about me, and I feel the need to be like, "Ok but I'm safe. You're safe right here. Unless one of them comes in because I can do literally nothing, but right now we're safe."

You have to train yourself out of doing that.

 

[CandiCame]

I will say, though, that I don't get why we can't sit like human people. That is one thing I genuinely don't get. Like if I'm in the way tell me to move but why the fuck can't I just sit in the chair like a human person? Your hips are set up to sit like that. The only reason women don't do it is because you've been trained not to. It's healthier for your hips and bones and shit to spread your legs. Like I don't... I don't understand why I'm not allowed to take up space.

Again, if you NEED the space, tell me and I'll move. But like people have told me that they shouldn't /have/ to tell me and I don't get that. Let me live. It's genuinely not a power thing and I don't get how it could be.

As a white knight I won't allow it. That's simply too big of an ask for anyone to take up.

What's your excuse?

 

[IrezumiKiss]

So you are surrogatey

Yoiks. And I thought I got fucked up on the hooch last night.

There's endless research that demonstrates being born into poverty affects your life chances, and no research that I've ever seen to demonstrate the contrary. The opposing view is pretty much entirely ideological, not back by actual evidence at all. (Note - Michelle Pfeiffer movies do not count as 'evidence'.)

And I agree, if you're born into poverty you're parents are probably shit with money, self discipline and time management and they will likely pass all those things onto their kids.

Environment affecting someones choices/attitude isn't the same as preventing or a roadblock to economic success though. Telling women they couldn't own property was an example of a lack of opportunity.

But shit isn't like that anymore.....any broke bitch with an IQ above room temp and enough motivation to hustle will make some money here.

If you're in the USA and not making money? It's because nobody showed you how, you never cared to look on your own or you're just too lazy to go grind some money out of it.

This was a fun little read. I can’t wait to read Ch. 2 about old white guys.

All you young kids today
You better listen to what he's got to say

Dear old white guys....thanks you so much for building such an amazing civilization and society.

Both the countries my parents are from are socialist shit holes and I wouldn't be living the good life I am if it hadn't been for a bunch of amazing old white guys.

This was like reading Scarlett after reading Gone With the Wind. Just not the same oomph to it. You still get a red or green sparkle star sticker for putting in the effort.

My father was born in 1932, during the early years of the great depression. He told me stories of getting a pea shooter for Christmas because that's all his family could afford. My grandfather took my dad and my older uncle to the movie once after the rest of the kids were asleep because he could only afford to take 2 of them. They were small town people, not farmers, but still grew their own food in a garden because they couldn't afford to buy food. It was a family of 10 kids and half broke the cycle and the other half didn't.

My father joined the military and used the G I Bill to go to college. Graduated and got a job with his accounting degree and worked for the same company for 17 years before starting his own small business.

I know nothing of studies. I do however know something of real life.

Yes, the poor in America do have opportunity to succeed.

 

[BotanyBoy]

So? I never said the shit wasn't hard fought or full of fucked up shit.

Doesn't change the fact that, old white guys built the most AWESOME civilization and society the world has ever seen so far as we know. One which saved my family from the Kim regime and gave them equal rights under the law and no limit on their desire or opportunity to better themselves.

Soooooo super thankful to awesome white dudes!!

I don't... that conclusion doesn't follow from that story? There's a disconnect here.

 

[Hal9000_]

I'll give woman a growing problem.

 

[Oblimo]

In my experience, most people who think poverty is a choice and that the poor simply lack gumption or the proper ethos weren’t born into poverty themselves and have no real capacity for empathy.

I was referring to KimGordons one line comment. Nothing more. Ok, i kinda messed up. Her post at the top of this page is what I was referring to but quoted a related post.

“Service...Guarantees...Citizenship!”

Yes, the poor in America do have opportunity to succeed.

Yes, by joining the Army Forces.

Of course, there are other “opportunities” that open up when one tries that route.

 

[oO00Oo]

Lol.

Beyond being a receptacle of his lust no man wants you anymore.

Let's start with you're a growing liability and risk to anyone that would hire you. The entire #metoo movement has tarnished your brand. If you aren't top 1% you aren't going to be hired by any major firm. Your contribution is diminished by the risk.

If you're burdened with children, no one wants you beyond the "White Knighte."

Let's sAy you're a career woman. You ride the cock casosel until in your mid-30's (+/-).

Why should I, as a man have anything to do with you?" You've focused on your career,. Fine. Now you're long in the tooth and statistically prone to pop out a Down's kid if we breed. And the clock is ticking.

Men will marry up and down the socioeconomic ladder depending on whether they're user's or not. Women will only marry up (statistically). And that makes perfect sense if you bother to think about it.

So getting back to the 'career' woman. The divorced man has no use for you. He has a family that he's already paying for. The single man in your age group can, and often will choose that fertile 20 something. And the dude that has no intention of family is going to choose someone who is infertile but suitable companion.

Welcome to the new world.
