Slate ^ | October 27, 2017 | Ruth Graham

American men entered the workforce in unprecedented numbers as they returned from World War II, and employers welcomed these men as a matter of patriotic duty. Many men proved to be diligent, competent professionals over the ensuing decades. Sadly, however, many did not. The cascade of recent revelations of male workers abusing co-workers, threatening subordinates, and masturbating into potted plants leaves only one conclusion: The long experiment of having men in the workplace has failed.

Good thing I was never stationed at 29 palms!

Ruthie the Riveter appears to have some severe mental “issues”.

She might have been attempting sarcasm, but it read pretty straight to me. The trouble is, liberals have gone so far over to the Dark Side, that they are hard to satirize.

“You know who hates working with women more than men? Other women.”

For women, other women are the worst bosses most of the time. One of my best bosses was a Japanese woman, but all other women bosses were jealous and sadistic. Always enjoyed working with/for men, and the tougher the better.

Don’t get me started on horrible women bosses! I worked for a shrew who’s racist, demeaning, back-stabbing, cheating antics could fill a book. Everyone hated her with a passion. I worked for another woman before her who was no picnic either, and one after - same thing. No one liked ANY of these female bosses.

"Just trolling for ratings. Click bait, essentially."

Yep, the author thinks she's being clever and snarky, but she's just sophomoric. And notice how her target is "men," not the liberal Hollywood male Democrats who have been the focus of these recent scandals.

So that’s why they started the “me too” fad/hoax!
Listen, b!tch. Without men you wouldn’t be here. It’s men who set up our civilization, which you hate. It’s men who fought wars and got killed to protect your sorry man-hating a$$.

Simple Question:
Who would you rather be

The One Woman in an office otherwise full of men or

The One Man in an office otherwise full of Women?

We ain’t talking a modeling agency or a porn shoot, just a regular workplace

Most people would choose the former

The prisons can’t hold them all.

See my FReeper profile for an alternative to prisons. There may be a few spots large enough for the purpose out there.

You just described my former agency, Defense Contract Audit Agency. 60% women, and most of the female supervisors are overweight with a Napoleonic complex.
