Maybe I should talk instead about this crippling disability I have where sarcasm just keeps on dripping out of my mouth, instead of the word "no." People definitely listen to people who say no instead of offering complex argumentation, right? Especially women? People like listening to women talk? Even though they have this annoying habit of using uptalk, and like, talking like women?
That's why most films feature women talking. Because women are likeable. Because people like listening to women talk. And talk. And talk, in their shrill, scoldy, high-pitched voices.
Especially teenaged girls.
I mean, I'm not sure. I'm kind of a meek flower who doesn't know how to disagree or talk down to anyone, which is apparently how you get promoted and listened to in this world. Talking down to other adults who have more experience with something than you do. Yeah. Looks like that's how the men do it.
Oh, if only I were more capable of saying "no" instead of merely being pathologically sarcastic, belligerent, grumpy, unlikable, and mean, then I too would achieve the promotion of my dreams. But that contradicts with being told that I'm being discriminated against because I'm ugly and unfuckable (NOT because I'm female), which contradicts with what I've told about being fast-tracked because male mathematicians want a ready pool of applicants from whom they can pick wives, which contradicts what I've been told about my success meaning I must be sleeping around a lot.
Men are always taken advantage of in this exact same way, don't you know <3 That's why my male companions are asked if they're my paid whores when we walk around at night after grading exams, and why there's always dudes rubbing their shoulders, and why everyone assumes that they get women to do their homework for them, and why folks they ask for recommendation letters say behind their back that really, there shouldn't be any men in STEM. Men don't belong because they don't have the patience for the subject or the ability to work with others. There's just something about them. Something about their voices.
If only they were better at saying
yes. Then they wouldn't miss out on so many opportunities. They ask for too much pay, seem too aggressive, aren't good at listening to their coworkers like women, aren't as exacting in their work, aren't mild, are too bossy, are too overbearing and scoldy... they just lack necessary aptitudes! It's intrinsic! You don't want to have a cup of tea with them! They just don't quite fit into the atmosphere, if you
know what I mean. We can't talk about our periods when they're around.
(but when they are around, they're a nice piece of ass. Whoops. Don't tell HR.)
They're bad at saying
yes. Yes to life, yes to verve, goodbye to drudgework, goodbye to long-held notions, goodbye to kneejerk opinions, goodbye to expectations of anything other than success.
We think at our corporation that the average man is too educated and too rational. The sort of work we do wouldn't be
enough for him; he needs something where he can be at the center, something where he can be at the top, something where he has the opportunity to say
no. Something where no one expects him to work under somebody's thumb, or be nurturing, or support somebody else's work. A man should be brilliant. A man should be genius. We just don't have any jobs for men right now.
We need to give him time to sow his wild oats. You can't rely on a man in his early years of life. He's controlled by his reproduction, making him unsuitable for office work. He's always coming hung over or in the same clothes as yesterday, because he wants it all. A job and a sex life? How will he ever balance it? Won't it take him too much time to prepare for dates
and focus on his work? He's going to get the whole office sick because he doesn't know how to stay home when he's ill and pamper himself. He'll prevent everyone else from making deadlines by focusing on his individual productivity, instead of what's good for the
team.
That is why we've decided not to hire any men for any entry-level positions at our firm this year. After getting some experience at another firm, experience saying
yes, we'll hire him in upper management.
But we really just don't have any jobs for men here. They'd be a distraction for the girls, and we'd have to pay him more, anyway.
Oh no~ Whatever could the explanation for this horrible conundrum be? Won't
somebody tell me what I said about institutionalized sexism in my last post, so that I can hear my own words from a guy?
[/SARC]
Oh noooo, Vector, Reverse Sexism!
... well, yeah
not that I actually believe that stuff. See the sarc mark?
... Where's you folks' sarc marks?
