Written after seeing the finale:
Women can never win in this world. If we are not decorations, then we are aberrations. Ballbreakers, bitches and dominatrices, or else shrinking violets, either way we get screwed.
But really, it is the men who are slaves to the machine, who don't even KNOW they're slaves! We say "Ok, we give in. What do you want us to be? Shall we be skinny? Shall we be pretty? Busty? Loud? Soft? Nice? Mean? Flashy? Submissive? What, just tell us what so we can do it and get on with life!"
And you don't know, do you? You don't, so you keep changing the game, and every time we have a taste of success, you steal the bottle away so we can't have more. Every time we come close to winning, you change the game, because we are "breaking the rules" when nobody even knows what those rules are.
Unfortunately, guys, we're ahead, and you know it. We're closer to freedom because we were the first to figure out that we were slaves. We KNOW that the rules make no sense, that the game is rigged.
You still seem to be under the delusion that you are winning here. But you are not. By trying to destroy us, you destroy yourselves. You still think that this world is a game with rules that can be enforced on one side and not the other. You still think we are all identical pieces and that with enough control we will all fall into line and be perfect little clones like the women in the bra ads.
And yet, that's your greatest fear, and we know it - you don't WANT those women, you want real women, flesh and blood and attitude, you want one that is unlike any other in the world, you want us as real companions and coworkers and yes, bosses sometimes - because you know that it is a reprieve from that harried man's world of cell phones and competition and early heart disease. You know that we are the ones who can see you as you are, as flesh and blood and spirit, and not as dollar signs and diplomas, we can give you authenticity and the freedom not to play that game.
But you fear that freedom, don't you? It's the real prize, but like anything worth having, it comes with a price. So you hire the lazy man who kisses your ass, and you fire the competent lady who has a few too wrinkles for your little man's taste; you pinch bums and encourage the next generation of boys to become chauvinist CEOs and teachers and doctors and fathers, and you keep the game going, even though it makes you sick and lonely.
You idiots.
It's a reality show, none of it's real.

And if men are not alphas then they are worthless and weak. Pussies, nerds or creepy freaks. Stereotypes are fun!
Jesus, you think we don't fucking know we're slaves? If we thought we were free, would we really be trying to subjugate and weaken women? Brutal truth is that weakened humans WILL in turn try to weaken others.
And hell, be whatever you want to be. Maybe most men won't like it, but then I get the feeling you wouldn't like most men. No loss there, and it'd save a lot of time in the long run once you found one who did. Speaking in the general "you" here, of course.
your being rediculious. you mean to tell me you've never won a hand of blackjack? I've seen women win lots of times. add to the fact that the majority or arguements between men/women end up u with the man apologizing and admiting he was wrong. and for the sake or arguement, let's not count the number of women in high palces in the business world. but if we were, I'd call that "winning".
everything said was complete bullshit, all of it was generic femminist ranting with little to no foundation in reality.
Hey baby! Nice tits!

you cows stop blaming eachother for reality
somebody has penis envy ;)
but seriously, have you ever worked as a man in an all female work space? probaly nto beign a a woman and all, and for that cosnider yourself lucky. simultaneously being pulled by everty side of the gossip lines into their game of deciet, backstabbing and moaning, as well being the man getting to do all teh man jobs "can you lfit this for me? i;m too short, can you get this? i'm tired can you do allt eh work for me?" which is not necessarily always true, but in my experience it's more true than not. i have total respect fo rall woman, but i lsoe that respect when they attempt to mak eme their bitch, and even more so by waving boob and ass in my face like they're my gf or something. so to keep my sanity, to keep my balls, i tell em, "if you can't lift this, how can you dress yourself int eh morning, or do ya got a man to do that for ya too?, "ever heard of a step stool, it's my freind and it can be your freind too".
don't misunderstand me, i'm oen of th emost genrorus helpful people i know. i don't discriminate, btu i know full well why i can;t give the girls at work "man's job", and whiel i'll tell anyone who seems to be taking advantage of my generous, kind nature to take off, more often than bnot it is woman who mistake me for one of these so called "nice guys" the sort that bend over backwards for everyone but themselves.
also i don't understand if in your rant your talking about women in the work place or women seeing us as we really are or whatever(as lovers do or whathaveyou).
Quote from: Hotsumaeverything said was complete bullshit, all of it was generic femminist ranting with little to no foundation in reality.
It was utterly biased, but it wasn't bullshit. There's a hell of a lot of pressure to be the "perfect woman." But everyone gets crap like that, no matter what sex, hairstyle, or eye color.

Unless your blonde, blondes have more fun!
And what happens if I have ALL the eye colors at one point or another, does that mean nothing is expected of me, or more things are expected of me.
*feels the pain* Squishy!
My advice? Lay off the reality TV.
I call myself a feminist out of respect to those who came before me and fought for the rights so many women take for granted these days, and whenever I wonder why there has been such a modern backlash of those feminist ideals I come across posts like this and sigh.
Because of those pioneering women and men who defied expectations, I reserve the right to be pretty, busty, loud, soft, nice, mean, flashy and submissive whenever I feel it is appropriate, not when I feel I must be these things because of some imagined expectation of womanhood that the true enemies try to stuff down our throats and into our skulls to get us to consume product. That's right, what are the bra ads doing? Getting women to buy bras. Those expectations you think men have of women? Women do more to perpetuate those than men. It's our own twisted sense of obligation that holds us down, not "the man" who just so happens to be, you know, a man.
And who are the real enemies? Not your average man, I can tell you that. Get me in a room with real people and I will show you ways that those real people can relate without succumbing to the stereotypical bullshit mindgames that steroetypes would have us think are so necessary. Men have the same pressure to conform that woman do, and to believe the herd mentality is to play into the crazy logic that keeps us from progressing past the social rat-race of the sexes. You think you're ahead of the game because you have a clearer picture than men do, but it's actually just part of the same illusion. Doesn't matter how clearly you see it, you're still not seeing past it.
When you divide people into men and women, white and black, straight or gay you seperate and ignore the fact that we are all people above all else, and that we have the same emotions, thoughts and problems. You deny us the ability to band together to solve problems, and instead pit person against person in some twisted game of "this is what the world demands of you because you are -----!" It doesn't solve anything to view things in such a black and white manner.
If I am grateful to the "eastern philosophies" for one thing, it is this: You are not your sex, you are not your race, you are not your preconceptions, you are not your body. To believe otherwise is a self-defeating fallacy, and dangerous.
Horab, those women at your work? They're just lazy people, and if they weren't using you "because you're a man" they would be using you to help them figure things out because you're the "smart one", or they would be using you to take up their slack because you always have "so much energy." Leeches are leeches, regardless of the sex. I've had men co-workers who were too lazy mentally to read basic manuals and depended on asking me questions all of the time, but it wasn't because I was a "smart chick" like they said. It was because they were lazy pieces of shit. :mrgreen:
We are fundamentally seperate but equal in the ways that count. Do I encounter sexism? Sure, everybody does, men the same as women. Women have had it pretty rough in the past what with the subjugation and all (and continue to in parts of the world,) but we overcame a large chunk of it by being the change that we wanted to see, by waking up and realizing that this self-pity is getting us nowhere. If you're fighting against men because they tend to view things in a different (but not neccessarily wrong or harmful) way then us then honey, you ain't getting the point.
Just answer me this: Have you ever had an unreasonable expectation of a man, or what a man was supposed to be? Caring yet tough enough to handle problems himself? Open-minded yet resolute? "Wow, he's sure nice and I like his hair and he's great and always there for me, but oh, check out the smile on that guy! I bet he's understanding. Why can't he be ------ sometimes instead of always ------?" Humans crave change, we're not meant to be monogamous animals. We force ourselves into monogamous relationships with sometimes great results, but we're still hard-wired to like variety. Ooo, look at the shiny pretty things here, and here!
It ain't a man thing, is all I'm saying.
Forgot to say: Business has been one area that's been slow to catch up, but it is catching up. Case in point: we now have hardass women who think they have something to prove running big business, instead of good-ol-boy, golf-playing men.
And the day I start rooting for a woman to take my money and screw over the polulace by her greed just because she is not a man doing so is the day I will run for office and call myself "cured" of this pesky morality.
Props to you Hoshiko, great, great post. Very many good points.
You are not your body. But I still want your body =)

Then why don't you(general you of course) knock it the fuck off? What's the gain in bringing everyone else down with you? What's the gain in playing the game?
Final thought...I wrote this in about 2 minutes, so it's broader than it really ought to be. There ARE smart men who are not stereotypes - I'm married to one. And I care less at this moment what people think of me than I ever have in my life.
And I'm using this rant in the game on the other board, since it's obviously flamebait.

I doin't fucking know, man. Ask the white trash that think they're somehow better than the black man. I guess as long as you think there's someone worse off than you it's alright. It's cold comfort, but sometimesa thats's all you fucking get.

And that's the point, or at least it seems that way to me. If you view the whole fucked up human syndrome and say "wow, look what sexism/racism/politics/hair color has cost us all!" then you lose the focus that you had on the problem to begin with.
Agent, in the case of your rant it seemed like you were using sexism as a scapegoat for a deeper dissatisfaction, a much larger problem. Broad was an understatement. Until you really examine the source of that unease and realize that it's not the opposite sex, you'll never stop chasing your tail. What you call "the game" is deep, it's a mystery, and I guarantee it's not rooted in sex, but rather in the human condition as a whole. Hell, we could be androgenous and identical and we would still beat each other down. We really would. Differences just make it easier to have something to pin it on.
I also don't believe it comes from being in a low place yourself, either. Rich people who are well-off in almost every way still sometimes take perverse pleasure in lowering others, or attacking those who stand in higher positions on the food chain. Take Donald Trump, for instance.
Rather, maybe it's from a lack of contentment in your life, a search for something meaningful gone wrong and turned destructive. Just to be clear, a part of me even feels that it's
not a problem, just business as usual. People are made to fight, we suffer for a reason, and we either become stronger through the suffering or we collapse under it. To some degree you pick how you choose to persue your life, a little each day, and you just go for it. Some people choose to conform past the point of being free to make their own decisions, and some people conform and fight a private internal battle. Others examine the
why instead of the
what, and try to learn from it and help others learn also. That's called personal responsibility and a broader outlook. I would consider most of the people on this board in that category. We all play our roles, although we're much more free now to
choose those roles, rather than have them thrust on us.
I dunno, I've lived on this planet for a couple of decades and people freak the hell out of me, but I've gotten kind of attached to them. Even the assholes. :mrgreen:

i hear ya babe. whenever a good woman puts forth she probaly gets an small extra push so to say forward just cuz of the rest. i try not to discriminate but none the les, i admit i'm a am an iwth discriminating tastes, as varying as tey may be. and you veryu much ht he headon the nail on the point in general.
but at the same timei rekon we're all alzy in our way, so i try to keep that in accont i reckon as a self proclaimed masculinist, it's my duty to take up the so called un winable fight.
becase as the old asying goes, women always win.
Hoshiko,
It's a little of everything, I think. But the motivation for it was from watching that POS show and seeing the whole ritual played out and thinking "aren't we over this shit yet?" I mean, I know it was just a show, but I also know that there are still a LOT of bosses who play that kind of sexist shit on their employees, hell, I left a very good paying job because I had a boss like that who drove me and several other female employees crazy! It got to the point where we couldn't even DO that work because he was interfering continuously and then it's like, well, what's the point, I came here to work and I can't work so, whatever.
...and then there's the whole notion that you have to "react" to the other, you're not able to be the initiator. And the female contestant was getting crapped on for not initiating more - but when she DID initiate, she got crapped on again for being too strong. And I'm just sick of the fact that that old Catch-22 is still in use all over the place. We know better, I think, and many people DO better, but it's still there, and it pisses me off, because it's a completely immature and irresponsible way to be. And I've had it UP TO HERE with people who refuse to grow up and act like decent human beings. In that regard, I am being EXTREMELY broad.
I'm definitely split down the middle, on the one hand, I study peace systems and conflict resolution and try to think that all people have some good in them and deserve to be respected and allowed to live. And then I see some schmuck wallowing in his own filth and being rewarded for it and think "fuck them all - they deserve each other." I mean, what the HELL!
And I know part of why I was drawn to Discordianism is that it doesn't sugar coat the dual natures of things, people are never gonna be 100% good or 100% evil and we're never gonna be completely dissolved into war OR united into peace, and people are still gonna get rewarded for being jerkoffs and kicked around for being nice.
catch 22 does not discriminate.
Quotecatch 22 does not discriminate.
When you use it on someone else, it does....
When it interferes with your professional life then it's a problem that needs to be dealt with quickly and officially, but I do understand about sexist bosses who try to sabotage your entire career, not just your job (although that's bad enough.) Think of the progress made in this area: 20 years ago, do you think that a woman in this sitaution would have had any reasonable recourse? Do you think that a woman in this situation would have options today? The same as if the harrasser had been a woman, not a man?
I like to think that there's a private hell reserved for those types of bosses; it's called retirement, where they have to live with themselves, no distractions. Consider yourself lucky from not having to deal with their bullshit anymore!
I've seen female bosses do the same thing to other women, though, so I still have to maintain that it's not just a sexist issue.
And the thing about The Apprentice is that they work within a model and a group of people that is designed to create conflict. That's what makes the drama. You might be mad on that woman's behalf, but 1) I would bet money that most of the "conflicts" in the show are set up or edited to high hell, and 2) She will get more money and contacts from doing it than you or I probably ever will. Small price to pay for selling your soul to a man with a godawful toupee.
If you want to be mad, be mad at the Survivor producers who made starving contestants strip for oreos and peanut butter. I can just hear all of the guys reading the thread collectively letting out a primal cry and yelling "Don't take away the reality stripping! It's all we've got! And then remember that they were idiots to begin with, and take a deep, cleansing breathe.
:mrgreen:
I discriminate against myself.
i think as a boss you have to be to a certain extent sexist, at elast in my line of work. you can;t expect women to do the "man's" jobs as it were. it's a bloody shame, but when a woman does step up and tak e it, she';s pretty much guaranteed that job as long as she does it well, alogn the lines of any man.
to me if you cabn;t do a job, man or woman, you'r as useless as well, *ahem* tits on a bull* aehem* :P
:twisted:
we've been short on staff lately and hwen trying to decide onwho to call in, certain people both male and female i';ve been tellign htem" might as well go without a person at all.
course we don;t get the highest uh whatever at wendy's :P :lol:
Is there some special physical reason they can't do a "man's job"? No? Then I would tell them to suck it up and be fair. If they were hired to do something then they shouldn't object to doing it, ne? I LOVED my last job because everyone was expected to be helpful to the best of their abilities, and if they weren't, they were gone. None of the politics and petty dramas that most jobs have, just a team of people who worked shockingly well together, and a fun as hell management team. Man I miss it :(
But I would so work at wendy's and do all of the "man's work" if it guaranteed me free fries. You think I'm kidding...
Fries and a Frosty, how I miss thee!
i'd really like to do that, but we;re really not allowed to say suck it up. i reckon it;s apr thing. my boss who alot fo folks asy i'm alot like (which isnt a bad thing mad eit fro mmy postion to the next level in 6months) said suck it up alot, until he go ta lot of flack for it.
personaly i try to work with people's strength and avoid theirweaknesses as much as possible, tho working on those as well.
but in my current job it's a thing where most of teh mgt ph34rs to tread. as the jr shift supervisor, and before as crew trainer and regular creew, i've already been told it's not a thing that; sdone, so unless i know a girl is willign an dable i don;t recomend her for a man job.
it sucks, i don;t like it, but my women bosses are the ones whom i've gotten this from.
generaly tho i try to treat everyone, crew, my level mgt, abvoe mve(middle mgt) and uppr mgt as equals, we all ahve our jobs to do, and communication is an integral aprt of at least in particualr my job i try to just do my job and make sure i'm communicating what's expected of the crew below me or whatever. it's tough. i don;t much like it in alot of ways.
And I feel kind of bad for the women who won't do hard work. My other last job was as a wood refinisher, and that involved lots of lifting, welder's gloves, gas mask, awful chemicals and mishaps, power tools... I loved it, who wouldn't? :P

Well, I don't mean that you should say exactly that... a little tact would be nice, but it is just basic lifting and ladder stuff we're talking about here, right? Why would they not be able to do that? Like I said, if they have a physical reason then that's one thing, but it shouldn't be categorized as a "man's job" if it's something that women can easily do, and I don't see why it would be based on sex. I don't even see how that would come up in the first place unless, like I said, there's some kind of physical limitation involved.
Because I'll use power tools, but no way am I moving a heavy couch! I have enough bad couch karma as it is...
yeah i hear that.
it really pisses me off as a manager that i feel liek a baby sitter.
everyday i walk in say hello, ask hwo ppl are and encourage them to get theri work on. some ppl apppreciate that. those are my best ppl.

Well, then, the only job I can think of where a man could do it but a woman couldn't, would be a sperm donor. :)
Honestly, I have no patience for the women who MAKE themselves weak either. The ones who won't break a sweat or muss their hair because it might interfere with their makeup. There's more beauty in a woman who's red-faced with exertion, sleeves rolled up as she does work she enjoys, than a perfectly primped diva who whines when she has to lift anything heavier than a cracker.

Here's a pretty basic question:
Why were you even watching The Apprentice in the first place? That show sucks worse than Motormouth.
QuoteHere's a pretty basic question:
Why were you even watching The Apprentice in the first place? That show sucks worse than Motormouth.
#1, Morbid curiosity and #2, my husband is a business major so he was also curious, though not as interested in this season as the last one.
And yeah...Motormouth sucks hard...but I still think the worst reality show ever is "What not to wear." Yeah, I'm gonna let some broad come to my house, diss my clothes and throw them all out. WhatEVER. Nobody touches my velvet collection....
I adore Stacy and Clinton. I'm a snob when it comes to clothing, though, and I think that what they do is a lot more useful to people than what Trump does.
Also, Donald Trump is one of the ugliest men in the world, and is much too difficult to look at for me to watch the Apprentice.
The reality show that's the worst: The Swan, which, coincidentally, is coming on right as I'm typing this. I can't stand this show. The whole idea of head-to-toe elective surgery for women to feel beautiful just boggles my mind.
none of you has obviously ever seen the real gilligan's island...

The Surreal Life is the best reality show.

The Swan is one of the signs of the Rapture, I believe. How shallow has our society gotten when "Good Entertainment" is watching a bunch of ugly chicks live out their complexes?
On second thought, that sounds rather amusing.
When you put it that way... yeah, yeah it does...
i was living at a friend's hosue for a few weeks. she was like "i'm getting fat, i need to get ont eh swan"(she's abou t110 lbs soakign wet) it was hilarious.
i don't watch tv to begin with. i'm kinda pissed about all teh good star trek im missing...
What Not To Wear is cool. I would let someone make fun of my clothes and throw them all away if it meant $5k in a new wardrobe and an expensive fanshy salon trip. And I really want to see the Swan for the horror factor but I never seem to catch it.
And now, my cable is still not available.

We got nothing better to do.. Then to watch TV, and have a coupla brews.
Don't talk about anything else, we don't wanna know!
We're dedicated to our favorite shows!
Magnum PI!
Hill Street Blues!
Monday Night Football!
"TV news shows what it's like out there/ It's a scare
You can go out if you want/ we wouldn't dare!
...
I wouldn't be without my TV for a day/ or even a minute!
I don't bother to use my brain anymore/ there's nothing left in it!"
Magnum PI is a killer show, btw. Higgins in da house!
just so you can all be really jealous, I saw Black Flag with Keith Morris and Henry Rollins a couple years ago...

Written after seeing the finale:
Women can never win in this world. If we are not decorations, then we are aberrations. Ballbreakers, bitches and dominatrices, or else shrinking violets, either way we get screwed.
But really, it is the men who are slaves to the machine, who don't even KNOW they're slaves! We say "Ok, we give in. What do you want us to be? Shall we be skinny? Shall we be pretty? Busty? Loud? Soft? Nice? Mean? Flashy? Submissive? What, just tell us what so we can do it and get on with life!"
And you don't know, do you? You don't, so you keep changing the game, and every time we have a taste of success, you steal the bottle away so we can't have more. Every time we come close to winning, you change the game, because we are "breaking the rules" when nobody even knows what those rules are.
Unfortunately, guys, we're ahead, and you know it. We're closer to freedom because we were the first to figure out that we were slaves. We KNOW that the rules make no sense, that the game is rigged.
You still seem to be under the delusion that you are winning here. But you are not. By trying to destroy us, you destroy yourselves. You still think that this world is a game with rules that can be enforced on one side and not the other. You still think we are all identical pieces and that with enough control we will all fall into line and be perfect little clones like the women in the bra ads.
And yet, that's your greatest fear, and we know it - you don't WANT those women, you want real women, flesh and blood and attitude, you want one that is unlike any other in the world, you want us as real companions and coworkers and yes, bosses sometimes - because you know that it is a reprieve from that harried man's world of cell phones and competition and early heart disease. You know that we are the ones who can see you as you are, as flesh and blood and spirit, and not as dollar signs and diplomas, we can give you authenticity and the freedom not to play that game.
But you fear that freedom, don't you? It's the real prize, but like anything worth having, it comes with a price. So you hire the lazy man who kisses your ass, and you fire the competent lady who has a few too wrinkles for your little man's taste; you pinch bums and encourage the next generation of boys to become chauvinist CEOs and teachers and doctors and fathers, and you keep the game going, even though it makes you sick and lonely.
You idiots.
"You idiots", she said, after venting her spleen that a man won a reality TV show.
No emoticon suffices.

It was an interesting thread. The OP seemed, to me, to be preaching to an existing populace which isn't represented here, but her preaching had value if it were presented to the suburban middle-class fucks who were pissing her off.
