That is just the way the market is supposed to react in terms of price from saturation… Women or men. The men banning the woman is no different from union action to control labor pricing. This way is just more mysgonistic and serves the point of keeping women in control and price fixing.
I did not start the flame war here. I had a knee jerk reaction to the comment that a “lot of Piggs think they could do the job…”. I am, of course, paraphrasing. I still think that is a crap statement.
Over and over I hear from blue collar “You couldnt do what I do”. Nothing pisses me off more. I “have done what you do” and many ppl on this board did also.
As for your comment about being condescending…
I am ok with that comment. I don’t precieve it because I am just stating the facts and when ppl don’t agree with them the emotive side becomes engaged.
You should try crossing a union line sometimes and have ppl spit at you and curse. While they are not being condescending they are being jealous and petty.
Somehow I was “granted” or “gifted” this position… Or maybe is was all the 80 and 90 hour weeks I worked throughout my life. So when you say “I say” less worthy… In some sense they are. Just the same way I am not worthy to be a brain surgeon or P.h.D. I didn’t work for it. So let be clear on that. When ppl complain about there position in life in this country it is usually because they didn’t work harder to achieve it. Let’s avoid the obivous exceptions to this like being raised in a Mississippi or inner city school system.
Do I have strong feelings…
Not as strong as you would think but yes I am anti-union… Never was when I was young and never will be when I am old. I worked along side those teams early on and had a distaste for them even then. To much “I don’t do windows”…
There are plenty of hard working ppl out there and they fear the same things that I do. To one day be outmode, to expensive, and replaced. Union or otherwise…
Don’t like where you are in life then do something about.
Joining a gang and threatening corporations isn’t doing something about it.
Find me arrogant… Fine. Many do.
As for you CAR… I have already said it. I think your policies are misguided but your heart is in the right place.
With BG its is something much different. Insidious is the word I would use. I am sure the DSM-V could put a term on it.
And BG is right about one thing… The only thing I will every admit she is right about…
My writing does suck.
BTW… Mysogyny was brought up. Last person I hired was a woman (an engineer)… and I dont’t think I have ever seen a mysogynistic comments brought up in volume here. Not saying it didn’t happen once though… but I also know Rich would not allow that to happen regularly so I have no clue what BG is claiming in that regard.
Peace out.
Hope this thread dies after this. CAR you are free to engage me on the PM system if you want too.. Otherwise we will just waste pages here.
