A friend of mine (his name rhymes with Dippy Shmitic) was onto this a long time ago, but with blacks. He said the environment was so fraught with tension, with “rules” created on the fly to deliberately ambush unsuspecting and innocent people, that he consciously chose to withdraw from interactions with black people. That’s known as backlash. Blowback.
They would say Dippy was a racist. If so, they built him.
Now it’s happening to women.
A new book claims that male office workers are now so afraid of being on the receiving end of a sexual harassment case, they are reluctant to mentor, assist, befriend and even hold open doors for female colleagues.
Crushingly, Sex & The Office suggests men now view such ordinary, decent behaviours as “too risky” – and, in what will be a bitter irony for equality campaigners – claims that, as a direct consequence, women are now failing to advance at work.
” manners maketh the man “
Dippy Shmitic……that’s kind to catchy. I might use that some day.
I don’t know why it is so frickin hard to proofread before submitting comments. If you don’t have time to proofread first how can you have time to go back and clarify later, “of” not “to”.
I think I’ve heard of that guy’s aunt,
“Auntie” Shmitic…
😉
Another example of “The Immutable Law of Unintended Consequences”.
Or, as that great poet, musician and philosopher Frank Zappa put it,
“Do you love it,
Do you hate it,
Here it is,
The way you made it.”
Sometimes, when dealing with women or children, you run into those situations where they demand things a certain way by dismissing all reasonable alternatives until they’re no good alternative left.
Example:
Buying a home. Unless you’re ungodly rich, you have three variables to deal with when buying a home:
1. Location
2. Cost
3. After purchase fix-up costs.
I’ve had this conversation several times with my wife. “You can have 2 out of 3, but you can’t have all 3.”
The same goes for human interactions. For women dealing with men, they need to have a reasonable set of ground rules.
1. Holding a door for you is not “rude”.
2. Saying hello and being friendly is not “hitting on you.”
3. Discretely grabbing a peek at your boobs or ass without being obvious about it is not “rape.”
If you can’t live with those ground rules, then don’t expect men to want to interact with you.
It’s no different than with what’s going on with college dating. The laws, the faculty, the campus police, and the kangaroo courts are all so stack-loaded against guys that our young men are essentially giving up on the women, who incidentally, they largely regard as mental patients.
A story that hits too close to home for us. Can’t elaborate here about it-but there exists a female pink haired millennial that I would like to clock with an upper cut after a vicious verbal beat down- for gaming the system and putting our livelihood at risk.
Unfortunately, she lives nearby and occasionally I see her walking or leaving a Starbucks. Maybe one day my brakes will fail.
I live among Mormons. There is no feminism AND no sexual harrassment.
The arrival of the new puritanism moves ever closer.
FTFY
I was going to add “blowblack” but thought better of it.
“Men are doing what they have always done: survey their environment, understand it, and behave rationally according to it. Which means, increasingly, living their lives without regard to what women want. This does not mean living without sex, relationships or female company. Just that the investment men make in all these areas is being dramatically reduced.
As feminism reduces the value of women (in men’s eyes), so men are reducing the amount of time, effort, attention and money they are willing to spend for the declining benefits modern women now bring to their lives.
And men are deploying the most devastating weapon of all – indifference. In this final battle who cares least wins.
The time has come to reap the harvest of feminism, and for women the fruit will be bitterest of all.”
From “The bitter harvest of feminism”
Okay, so these batches will die barren and lonely.
Ask me if I care!
I am at peace with feminism. When confronted
with a nutty split I just think of all of the spiders
and leaky toilets she gets to deal with.
Colleges are retarding the current generation. And by retard I mean retard, not born mentally handicapped. If young women are fine with this well all I can say is, this is what You Tube was meant to cover. It’s not limited to women, but they seem to be the driving force in colleges. (So glad I grew up in the 60s.)
Baseline humble love, run amok, can do wonders.
Have made the assertion years earlier that when there is no more respect of the sexes there would be a massive communication breakdown ( If you think of Zep, go ahead), and a whole lot more anxiety, depression, isolationism, and the eventual forgetting of our original intended roles.
Homosexuals rise, absolute truth is forgotten,
wickedness expands.
Men can only be real men by and through the Creator. If my or your dad fell short it’s because he ( or you or me), did not/have not/will not carry that torch.
It really is up to us.
Have you ever seen the movie, “Strangers on a Train.” Perhaps it doesn’t have to be your brakes that fail. 🙂
Also women can’t complain if men look at their chests when they show cleavage in quantities of inches.
I know y’all got mirrors, showing boobie crack ain’t by accident.
there isn’t anything feminine about modern feminism.
and this confusing TRANS bs is going to really screw them in the sex orifice (whatever it ends up being).
Today’s women need to stock up on cats.
