So here’s a new perspective on the whole “should we allow women to take over the tech industry or any other industry” question, courtesy of the Pro-Male/Anti-Feminist Technology blog. Yes, women, if you want to run a business or an industry you apparently have to check with the dudes at the Pro-Male/Anti-Feminist Technology blog first.
In a post titled “Why We Don’t Want Women Taking Over Tech Or Any Other Industry,” the ironically named “Reality forever” explains that women shouldn’t be allowed to run anything because, well, women are terrible and apparently love making everyone go to meetings:
[M]en are afraid of women in the workplace because all they bring is misery, low morale, lawsuits based on false accusations, insanity in general, never ending useless meetings and all around stupidity and dysfunction and low productivity.
Also, cats:
Even women hate working with other women. Put several cats in a small cage together and you’ll get the picture.
Huh. As sensible as Reality forever’s argument has been so far, I have a couple of slight objections to make here. Human women are not, to the best of my knowledge, cats.
Also, I’m pretty sure the issue here isn’t the cats so much as the whole small cage thing. Basically, if you put any animal – or person – in a small cage they’re going to be a bit grouchy, particularly if you stuff another couple of animals or people in there with them.
I mean, your uncle Ted might be the most affable fellow in the world, but if you throw him in a tiny cage with, say, your other uncle Brian, there’s going to be some friction. Toss in some cats, or perhaps a hyena or two, and you’re really asking for trouble.
Let’s let Reality forever continue, just in case his argument gets better.
But we can all give a sigh of relief because women will NEVER dominate any industry and there are specific reasons why. The reasons are contained in female nature. Any female above admin in any corporate office can barely even show up for work on any consistent basis.
I think he’s on to something. I sometimes see women walking around the streets in the middle of the day. They probably left to go to work in the morning but just got lost. Or distracted by a shoe sale. Women love shoes, amirite fellas high five.
I know this sounds insane, but we [have] thousands of clients and the vast majority of the companies wherein we have female contacts are rarely ever in. Many have taken off for a year at a tine.
You may not realize it, fellas, but women can just wander off on a break and not come back for a year.
It’s like this well hidden, but giant secret that no one talks about and I don’t think a lot of people are even aware of because women are so stealth at covering up their deviance and so many people will cover for them.
It’s true. If you look closely at many of the so-called women who work in your office you will discover that a lot of them are actually mannequins, carefully disguised to look like your female co-workers – who have probably been sitting on a tropical beach somewhere eating bon bons for the last 8 months with no one suspecting a thing.
In fact I’ve been trying to find other people who have seen this who deal with a large number of companies like I do.
They take off huge chunks of time- months even a year at a time then refuse to be at work before 11am and are gone by 2pm and never work on mon. or fri. then suddenly quits after a short time. Forever. Not just that job- all work completely.
It’s the dirty secret of the corporate world: most full-time women employees work only 12 hours a week, if that.
Women really only want to work part time if at all – they just like the idea of work and a status title and do not want to make any commitment to anything or anyone- especially women now.
It’s a little-known fact that Sheryl Sandberg’s official title at Facebook is “Pretty Princess of Operations” and that she only works three hours a week.
That is their flaky nature. And yes, they are ALL like that- 98% of them. And they’re lazy and don’t want to ever try harder or get out of their comfort zone or take risks. Women are their own worst enemies.
Oh, don’t be modest, Reality forever. People like you are their worst enemies.
In the comments, Reality forever expands upon his thesis.
I … work for a telecom and I’m in sales – so we have clients in virtually ALL industries and/or go to pitch potential clients in all industries. And I’ve been at it for 6 years total and with any females who have an actual title like IT Manager, VP or any kind of administrative anything, they are extremely clever at barely putting in any hours – I know because it’s my job (unfortunately) to have to deal with so many of them on a daily basis and communicate with them.
They’re extremely flaky, moody, never want any responsibilities at all to make any decisions, barely ever come into work, are as useless pedals on a wheelchair, spiteful, condescending, vindictive- the most horrible people I have ever had to deal with have all been women. And the vast majority of them are all the same in their patterns.
They’re overemotional about everything so they come off even creepy a lot of the time! With the men, it’s about 2-5% of them are jerks, flip that for women to about 2-5% of them are decent. That’s just been my experience dealing with all these women in virtually every industry there is.
And they are always just… OUT. Whether it’s ‘not in yet’ ‘already left for the day.’ Not in ‘today.’ ‘Out till next week.’ If I had 25 cents for every time I’ve heard ‘she’ is ‘out’ I would be wealthy, and no, they’re not just trying to avoid me and lying- they’ll actually be out, you can hear the sincerity in the voice of whoever’s telling me this that day. …
And I would expect it’s their being allergic to work that has kept them from really achieving anything across the board. And it’s ironically BECAUSE of Feminism that made them this way- everyone needs to make special ‘concessions’ for them and bend to them, not them needing to bend to fit in and join the work flow. …
Feminism, everything women are up to now, all of it, is mostly just a fraud and illusion and I’m telling you this thing of women being OUT all the time is real! Go to any company website in any industry, go to the staff directory, or go to Data.com connect and look up the staff directory for any company, then call and ask for any of the females above admin on that list and they will just happen to be out that day!
And it’ll be like Tuesday at 11am. It’s this phenomenon that I’ve been trying to tell people about for years, but they just don’t believe me or don’t understand what I’m talking about.
Huh. It must be true. Because I can’t think of any other reason women would want to avoid taking a call from you.
@ grumpyoldnurse – Cheers. It hadn’t occurred to me to try Wiki, because what are the odds a Wiki entry about something featured on *that* page would be fair and impartial.
“Men are being prosecuted for inadvertently offending women…” JFK They do know one survivor died in Singapore hospital about a week later?
So, Mr. Macho is afraid of women. Got it. Also, it’s apparent that he’s never actually worked in a place that has any. Which makes me wonder if he’s ever worked a day in his life at all.
@ Syburi – I seriously doubt that reality has any effect on their world view. It’s like they’ve surrounded themselves with an anti-reality bubble that defies the space time continuum.
I love that this dipshit subconsciously knows that the women are in fact, avoiding him. He wouldn’t have brought it up otherwise. Women are better at dodging people we don’t want to deal with because we’re used to it. We learn early in life to avoid creepers. It’s a useful skill.
Oh my goodness, I think I’ve figured it out – I must not be a real woman!
I hate going to useless meetings and would rather be at my desk working, I work more overtime than anyone I know, AND I’ve had the same job for six years with no vacation time other than a day off here and there.
I must be a man. Who knew?
My company has the hardest time retaining young men; therefore, all young men must be unmotivated and wishy-washy. An equally ridiculous generalization. 🙂
Love the commentary, David. It made me laugh.
@grumpyoldnurse – She was probably asking for it anyway, being out in public and all. I mean, consent is just so blurry. Argh. I need a drink.
“You may not realize it, fellas, but women can just wander off on a break and not come back for a year.”
Yeah. It’s kind of like guys and cigarettes.

Got a wife and kids in Baltimore Jack, I went out for a drive and I never went back.
Perhaps it’s one of those new technological ailments that keeps popping up. People just leave the room and vanish. Scotty’s up there somewhere with a whole bunch of very confused VPs who were beamed up without warning.
@ Syburi – they need nurses up there, too, don’t they?
::holds breath in expectation::
Welp, I guess I’m working in the wrong job. I had a 10 hour day today as a Quality Assurance Specialist for a hospital. All this time I could have been working Tuesday through Thursday 11:00 am to 2:00 pm then nicked off to go shopping or something.
I’VE BEEN ROBBED!
Quality Assurance Specialist? Oh, you poor ladyzombie! I’ll take bedpans over that shit show anyday!
::pulls up a chair for theladyzombie and makes some tea and toast::
I actually really like my job which doesn’t make sense either. I mean, my ladybrain shouldn’t be able to handle it. Shouldn’t I get distracted by shiny objects or something?
Annnnd Thunderf00t already posted a video on his suspension. I’m not in the mood to subject myself to it.
@ theladyzombie – my lady brain used to get distracted by attractive residents, but lately they all look too damn young.
All joking aside, I meant no disrespect to your profession. I’m glad there’s someone who’s not only willing to do it, but actually enjoys it!
So, I must be one of those ladies. I just lucked out and (due to scheduling and having to cover a few shifts, they’re letting me take off Friday in order to avoid paying me overtime!
So, I think I’ll bounce back to the fire-station and do a 24 hour ride-along! WHOOHOO!
Here’s to not working Friday!
… and that comma should be a ). I’m a mathematician, not a grammarian!
Enjoy, contrapangloss!
Syburi, I’ve not caught up so may have been ninjaed, but did you get your Welcome Package?
@theladyzombie – That’s awesome! I work in QC, but for a supplement company. My role is almost more similar to QA though, since I don’t work in the lab, but more on SOPs and such. I always thought it was a bit of a personality quirk; I like to make sure things are right. My last job was proofreading, which is awesome, but didn’t pay the bills (not that I’m exactly raking in the dough in QC, but I make what I need to get by and be content). 🙂
Yeah. It hasn’t occurred to him that the one thing all these absent women have in common, is him.
No, really all we know is that they’re not available to him. They may very well be available to see everyone else, not that he would ever know bc as soon as he enters their orbit or makes a phone call, they go poof.
The Phantom VIP. I like that.
@kittehserf – Thanks. I came across that yesterday. Last time I commented here I think it was still called Manboobz. I haven’t tread on any toes, have I?
I was looking at the “Things You Should Read” section of the page and found the best webpage ever: it’s Time To Expose Misandry (URLs @ Urinals).
It just goes on and on and on, but the gist of it is that people should print out MRA fliers and post them in front of urinals.
Sample passage: “If a man sees a flyer that provokes a jolting thought where he leasts expects it, he will remember it for a long time to come. Those of us who have studied and practiced Neuro-Linguisting Programming (NLP) will recognize this as a very strong anchor, and thus ensure that he will remember the seed planted in his mind in many future instances of standing in front of a urinal.”
@grumpyoldnurse – I guess nurses are needed on teh Enterprise, but if it’s Scotty doing the beaming, then you end up working with Bones. I’d prefer DSN.
Hopefully in space all the new doctors and police don’t look to me/us like they’re skipping school.
What if he sees the flyer when he’s stumbled into the bathroom to pee drunk because said bathroom is in a bar? I’m picturing some poor wasted dude trying to make sense of an MRA poster while peeing. He’d be going “wait, what? so the…and they said…huh?” for the rest of the might.
