U Not Gonna Like This

This is from What Men Are Saying About Women possibly from the Forbes forum dedicated to the now infamous "Don't Marry Career Women" article:

Where feminist see Attila the Hun, I see "Death of a Salesmen". The overwhelming majority of men took care of their families above and beyond, and still do as sure as women cooked and cleaned. We have just been slandered, painted by feminist with a brush full of hate. As sure as one can disbelieve that "all men are potential rapists", one can believe that "men abandon their wive's and kids on desert islands filled with lions" LOL.

The article suggest not that we catapult women back to the 50s without being held accountable. It suggests, no it presents opinion, desire in what men want (for a change). It does not suggest that women should no longer work, it moves way beyond that to not caring if they work, but with the understanding that we will no longer bend to their will but seek our own goals and desires. It moves beyond catering to women, to the women's movement, and a man standing up and stating what he wants in a woman, as well as suggesting to other men the right road to happiness.

Men don't see "earning potential" as power in a relationship, just the outside world, because we were never granted such as a tool of power over women. Our income was always directed toward the family. Women see "earning " as power in a relationship, but not in society because that is what they were taught....so they reject the argument of this article based on a false premiss.

This from The Other Side of Kim on corporate America and Free Speech:

First, we have “reeducation”—it’s not enough to stop the behavior, we have to stop the thought behind the action— then comes an official “Watch it, buddy”—followed by execution, in the corporate sense. The difference between this and totalitarian government is that the latter doesn’t bother with all three steps, but uses either one of the first two followed by (inevitably) the third.

Now I’m familiar with the argument that corporations have a right to determine behavior on their premises or within their purview, and by and large I tend to agree with it. But, as with all things, the truth lies somewhere in the degree of the thing. Somewhere between extreme boorishness and extreme sensitivity lies the proper response, but corporations, ever wary of being accused of not responding to un-P.C. behavior and the litigation which follows, will always err on the side of 100% inoffensiveness, the craven lickspittles.

I agree that a company should be able to determine that Wendell Wolf can’t go around shouting that Sandra Slutty in Accounting has wonderful tatas. I also know that under current corporate rules, Wendell is not even allowed to look at said tatas—even if Sandra is wearing a tube top and no bra—because this constitutes “harassment”. And the punishment is the same three steps as outlined above. Even worse is the fact that Wendell can face the same consequences if reported not by Sandra, but by any other employee. So if Percy Prig catches Wendell leering at Sandra, he can report the “offense” and maintain complete anonymity.

Thus is the culture of the “confidential informant” created—yet another institution beloved of totalitarian government.

Am I the only one who thinks that this is all crap?

Here’s what I see arising from all this. Already, thanks to [spit] pay packet withholding, corporations (which exist solely at the behest of government) are doing most of the government’s work in terms of income tax collection. But in recent times, corporations have also been doing the government’s work for them when it comes to political correctness, speech- and thought control.

And let’s be under no illusions about the consequences of all this. By law, if prospective employer XYZ MegaCorp. calls Wendell’s previous employer ABC GlobalCorp. for references, and enquires after the grounds for termination, ABC will inform XYZ that Wendell was fired for sexual harassment. Anyone want to place odds on Wendell getting hired by XYZ?
