Equality at Work

I find it very ironic that many of the people who espouse to want equality, are now fighting it at the very most core level.

And that equality is in the ballot box.

Yep. Every American citizen over the age of 18 gets one vote. Regardless of class, education, gender, race, age, etc. Just one vote each. ONE.

And then, as the rules outlined in the Constitution state, in the case of the president, each state gets so many electoral college votes, and then those votes are tallied by state to determine the election results. It’s not perfect, but it is how the law of the land outlines the process.

Unlike in many countries around the world, we have a system that allows the people to peacefully, predictably, efficiently, and fairly choose their representatives in government on a regular basis.

That just happened. It was close, but a winner was declared and the loser conceded to fight the results no more.

But now, some are not happy because the vote didn’t go “their” way. These people who espouse equality are actually asking for privilege, the privilege to decide for others who our elected officials (especially the president) should be. They want THEIR vote to count MORE than others.

Can anyone else see how that crosses a line? Crosses a line in a core principle (equal rights under the law) that they themselves supposedly champion and hold so dear?

My rights don’t end, as they say, where your feelings begin.

It’s over, folks. For those who voted another way than how things turned out, it’s time to put on the big people pants, accept reality, and for each to do their part to move on peacefully and productively as individuals and all of us collectively as a nation. There’s lots of work to be done, roll up your sleeves and let’s get to it.

God Bless America!

(P.s. When are all those celebrities moving, again? Canada doesn’t have to take them, but they said they don’t want to be here so…go on now….. get….fffffftttt. And take the rest with you!)

Gender Politics

Last night, as I watched the electoral college votes come in state by state, my younger daughter looked at the screen, saw Trump was in the lead, then asked me, “Who did you vote for, mom?”

I was somewhat surprised she was aware of it at all, and I wasn’t sure if I should answer or give her the spiel about how voting is a private matter and one should not ask.

I took a deep breath, and then I said “Trump.”

She looked at me disapprovingly, then said, “Mom, you are supposed to vote for the GIRL.”

I pondered for a minute and then answered, “It wasn’t because she was a girl that I didn’t vote for her, honey. I didn’t vote for her because she has taken a lot of money from people who are going to want favors that aren’t good for our country, and she has told lies, too.”

She considered all this, then got a huge smile on her face, and said, ‘Go, Trump!”

It was a teachable moment.

I hope as she grows up and starts to vote she will remember to always to consider the character and actions of the candidates, not only their gender. And that in politics, and life, it’s always best to pick the best person for the job, regardless of their gender.

I have high hopes for our country, and our future, and I think Trump will rise to the occasion and do his best to keep his promise to put America and Americans first. He’s overcome amazing odds to get there, something I admire in a person.

I know he’s not perfect, but I don’t think he is as sexist, racist, and everything else he’s been accused of. He’s a straight talker. It’s refreshing, if not always put in the best way. He seemed to be the ultimate apprentice, making blunders, learning from his mistakes, and turning into a better statesman before our eyes. I think he will do well.

Weight and Looks

This weekend I met a single woman who obviously took great pains with her appearance. Her hair was freshly cut and colored, her nails were perfectly done, and her clothes were stylish. Overall she was immaculately put together. But I couldn’t help but notice that despite all that, she was overlooking the biggest thing she could do to improve her attractiveness — lose weight.

These days nearly 1 in 3 people are overweight, and mentioning the fact has become almost taboo. We’re told not to “fat shame” and to practice “fat acceptance” but the reality is excess weight is not healthy or attractive on most people.

Even 20 pounds can make a big difference, as I found quite by accident after unintentionally dropping weight after a break up. I was so distraught at the time, I just couldn’t eat. Despite not feeling good, suddenly it seemed everyone was saying how great I looked!

I could see that this woman would be a real knockout if she took off the extra 40 pounds or so she was carrying and was at a more ideal body weight (note: not overly thin or overly heavy.)

I know that gaining weight is easy and losing weight is hard, but it’s probably the best way a woman can both reduce her risk of all sorts of health issues and dramatically boost her attractiveness at the same time.

Which reminds me, I have put on a few pounds myself! Time to cut the calories and increase the activity. Within a few short weeks I could drop the 10-15 pounds I have gradually regained, and I know I will be a whole lot happier doing that than I will be if I gain another 10 pounds by the holidays!

The Things Women Do

Commenter Fnu Mnu Lnu brought up an interestng point about the sometimes puzzling things women do. He says:

“…if a man has anything to his name, some woman is going to try and latch on to it.

Just go to the section of the walmart parking lot where the homeless people live. There’s one guy who works there that has been living is his car for over two years. Nice kid, very quiet and reserved, not too sharp, and not even enough incentive to get his expired drivers license back no matter how much I’ve tried to help him. He will still be living in his car years from now. And guess what,…

Some chick is trying to latch on to him!

Five or six spots east of him, are a homeless couple living in their version of a duplex. Him in his Acura, and her in her Volkswagen. Always parked right next to each other, with windows down and smoking cigs that he went to get at the store.

There is a tent city just off the highway and before downtown FredNeck, and guess what. It’s nots only got men in it. The bitches latch on to whoever they can!

When I used to work in the courthouse, I actually watched the judges issuing orders against men and forcing them out of their own tents for domestic violence. Can you imagine? Bitches can get you kicked out of the house you bought from goodwill with money you made panhandling!

As long as he has a dick and any sort of money at all, some bitch will try to latch on to him.”

I have also seen this in real life. Women attaching themselves to guys who have, as far as I can see, nothing to offer these women. So why do they do it?

Discuss… what’s behind this?

A True Life Carousel Tale

There’s a common saying in the Red Pill world that a girl who embraces the choice to live it up in her 20’s and early 30’s, choosing casual sex and “experiences” over settling down is “riding the carousel.”

Riding the carousel cashes in on the upper hand a woman has in youth. And it’s all fun and games until the reality hits — when she’s “ready” to settle down, things have changed, and not in her favor.

This woman’s essay captures a real life carousel tale, although she herself probably has never heard the term:

http://www.elle.com/life-love/sex-relationships/advice/a10010/failure-to-launch-when-beauty-fades-323090/

(Note the part of her story when she did have a great guy who wanted to marry her, and instead of appreciating his love she cheated on him with every bad-boy she could find. Poor guy!)

And here are some images to illustrate, at what point do you think she was at her highest MMV (marriage market value)?

She did eventually marry, at age 47. And I hope they are happy, and she’s good to him, and that her life experiences have not jaded her so much that she cannot truly bond or love. And I hope she advises the younger women in her life not to take their youth for granted, and that nothing lasts forever…

Taboo Talk

It is interesting to me what a to-do people are making about some of the things Trump has said, while at the same time the book 50 Shades of Grey outsold Harry Potter (!) without any marketing or advertising beyond whispered word of mouth. And it was filled with lots and lots of taboo talk!

Some of the latest dialog being quoted was said about a contestant on his reality show, a former Playboy centerfold and Playmate of the Year.

While people are up in arms, I find it interesting that the woman he said these things about and to was not in the least offended by them. And she thinks highly of the man. She seems to “get it” that of course he felt that way (duh!), and she took his saying so not as an insult but as a compliment and as lighthearted teasing said jokingly. They both seemed to get it was just talk.

When I was younger, I would get very uncomfortable about men saying things about my body or my sexuality unsolicited. I get that such language, if not said jokingly, can be scary. Such things said in a different tone would in fact be crossing a line.

But I think we have gone too far, where even innocuous admiration of the female form has become weaponized. Men like looking at pretty women. It’s that simple. Even married men like looking at pretty women.

Something I learned in the manosphere is that men are looking at women all the time, way more than we realize. One man described how it’s almost automatic for him to size up every female he comes across (“She’s a 2, there’s a 7, that one is a 6, etc.”) It’s just something his mind automatically did, and other men admitted theirs did too, and that it wasn’t pervy or leering. It’s the way the male mind works. Visual. Very visual.

And maybe we should all just get over it.

For example, awhile ago my vacuum cleaner hose got a toy lodged in it. So knowing the guy who owns the local country store is handy, and needing the vacuum fixed asap, I headed over to see if he could help me out. He’s likely nearly 60, married, super nice guy, blue collar, former truck driver.

He was sitting there with my neighbor, an elderly bachelor farmer in his late 70s, and they were shooting the breeze. They were happy to help me with my dilemma and soon got the toy dislodged.

I thanked them and turned to walk back home. I heard the farmer comment about being happy to help, “in exchange for the nice view.” And yes, he meant my backside. The store owner laughed good-heartedly, in a “I was thinking it, but he actually said it out loud” kind of way.

My reaction? I added a little extra shimmy to my walk, and carried on my way, with a smile on my face, knowing they meant it as a compliment, and feeling kinda good that they noticed.

It wasn’t awkward. It wasn’t sleazy. It wasn’t uncomfortable. It was life.

Now I know this pales in comparison to what Trump said to and about the contestant, but I have had men say similar things as what he said to me, too. And they said it lighthearted and joking, and I knew and they knew it was just talk. And the few times it wasn’t, I made it known I wouldn’t have it. End of.

Much ado about nothing, I say. I’d much rather see fair, balanced investigative journalistic news stories comparing the candidates views on the issues that really matter to the American people, rather than see “reporters”wasting ink on such tabloid fodder.

 

 

 

Pumpkin Carving

Sometimes it is good to take a step back, and to look at things from a distance. Like traditions. Like pumpkin carving.

Now pumpkin carving is kind of a minor tradition, and one mostly for the young folks.

Today our journey started with a field trip to the local pumpkin patch, run by one of my very favorite local agriculture preservation activists. He and his wife are salt of the earth, I kid you not. True blue. And they welcome school buses of kids every fall to help show them where food comes from. (Not the store.)

Not only do they grow amazing mind-blowing sweet corn and other goodies that I and other locals look forward to all year and then silently cry when we taste their sweet, sweet perfection again. Corn will never look the same, not unless they raised it or you raised it yourself.

Anyway, I digress.

These things kind of make no sense (carving gourds into scary faces to scare away evil spirits on All Hallows Eve????) and yet it is part of the shared collective, some weird bonding glue of mutual understanding. Traditions can both make no sense, and yet oddly make everything tie together.

And my kids loved it. The gooey pumpkin seeds and guts. Drawing the design. Mom, doing her best not to cut herself or anyone else in the process of carving. The pretty good if I do say so myself result.

It was an opportunity to remind my kids that this time of year signifies harvest, and plenty, and the lack to come, and how being prepared pays off.

And a chance to talk about a farmer, and how I admire him and his family, and tradition, and the rest, as we carve that silly pumpkin, gooey guts and seeds and all.

Anyway, time to light the masterpiece.

Memories made. Traditions passed. Future memories to come made.

Are Things Better?

A good question to ask yourself as you ponder your vote, “Are things better for you and those you know now than in the past?”

In my biz, I interact with a wide range of people, young, old, rich, poor, employee, and employer. As far as I can see, none of them a better off now than they were 10 years ago. And many who I never would have predicted would ever struggle financially because of their experience and education, now do.

I’ve watched people get fired without warning, search for a new job for months, finally take something at a fraction of what they used to make, with less benefits, and less security. Most are people in their upper 50s, not quite ready to retire but also not prepared to face long term unemployment at their age. They are scared. Terrified, actually.

I’ve seen younger friends and neighbors lose their jobs, lose their life savings, and then lose their homes. Most were families with children at home. Most are now divorced. None are better off.

As I look around I see very few who are ahead or are doing better than they were 10 years ago.

How about you?

The Thing About Intelligence

While watching the debate the other night, I was reminded of one of my former bosses, one of the most intelligent people I have ever met in real life.

He wasn’t a journalist by training, but he bought a small newspaper and in an era where newspapers were bleeding losses he managed to build it into a multi million dollar endeavor over a 30 year period, sold it, and retired very comfortably.

Although his background was in business, he did make a fine editor in chief and journalist. He had a mind like a steel trap. He knew everyone and could remember everything about them, even things from years back.

Just by watching him, one could see his mind was spinning about 100 times faster than the ordinary. He had little time for the mundane, and if a conversation didn’t interest him he would simply stand up and walk out of the room without a word. Because of this he could be very socially awkward.

I used to feel for those he was interviewing, because he had the most cunning way to guide the conversation right where he wanted it to go, and they often didn’t realize it until they had already said too much.

He was not the most PC guy. But he was a straight shooter. He had incredible integrity. None of the local politicians or business owners could buy him or sway him. He always told it like it was, without fear of repercussions.

I saw many of these same characteristics in Trump the other night. I would be curious to know his IQ, but I would guess like my former boss it’s far above the norm. I can see, like my boss, he’s literally ten steps ahead and has to slow himself down to the pace others are following at. Some of his social awkwardness, impulsive nature, and tendency to blurt things out, etc. may be in part because of this.

The thing about intelligence is there are many types of it. And nobody gets them all. I have found most people at the top of the curve to be lacking socially, in particular. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they aren’t deeply caring people.

My former boss didn’t pay a lot, and he ran a very tight ship. But he was loyal to his employees, and put money aside in a profit sharing plan that he managed with amazingly great returns. In three years I walked away $9,000 better off. When he sold the company, he insisted all of the current employees be retained for at least a year as a condition of the sale. He didn’t treat employees like nameless, faceless, easily replaced or eliminated widgets. He looked out for his employees almost like a father.

In short, sometimes the most intelligent people aren’t the most socially apt or the most endearing. But that doesn’t make them bad people. In fact, they can be some of the best people.

 

Being a Nasty Woman Is Not Good

During the final debate, Trump told Hillary, “You are a nasty woman” after she delivered one of several low blows during the event.

Not surprisingly, women on Twitter took up the torch, claiming if being a nasty woman meant smart, confident, and powerful count them in.

Thing is, he didn’t call her that for being smart, confident, or powerful. He called her that because of her throwing a jab and then expecting to get a pass because she’s a woman.

See if women want equality, and want to “act like men” along with that comes being treated equally. Which means not with kid gloves.

Even as young as preschool one can see that males and females settle disputes differently. Girls shame and ostracize each other, threatening “I won’t invite you to my birthday!” Such spats can go for days. Boys? They whack each other. Somebody “wins” and they are over it

Now don’t get me wrong, I am not saying because preschoolers act this way, adults should. In fact a big part of early social education is teaching children how to not act on their basest natures, but to “be civilized.”

And of course boys especially are taught to never hit or act aggressively toward girls because girls are to be treated differently than boys.

However, this naturally is expected to be a two way street. If girls don’t want to be treated like boys, they historically have been taught in exchange to be polite, ladylike, refined.

Today, if a woman hits a man, yells at him, throws barbs his way, she still expects to be treated, “like a lady.” But guess what? One can’t have it both ways.

Women who demand the equality to act aggressively toward men should expect it to be met with aggression back, just like occurs between two men. That’s equality. Men don’t ignore aggression from another man, why should he from a woman who acts more like an aggressive man than a ladylike woman?

In short, it’s not good to be or act like a “nasty woman.” It’s not powerful, confident, or intelligent. It’s base. It’s low class. It’s embarrassing.

Women who want to be treated with respect and equality are far better to rise above than to stoop low.

It’s one thing to say, “When they go low, we go high.” Quite another to actually walk the talk.
