The latest issue of TIME magazine focuses on the workplace of tomorrow and how the workforce and workplace are changing due to the times and increase in technology. TIME magazine also showcases how the culture of work is changing due to gender stereotypes, misandry, and downright sexism towards men, which seem to be the weaker sex in every situation these days.
TIME proudly claims that the workforce of tomorrow will be taken over by women, for good reason of course. Women are the perfect workers. Compared the men they are the dream worker. They don’t take risks, they think in terms of the big picture and long term investments, and have better managerial skills. Plus they are smarter and better educated then us poor receivers of the Y chromosome. Everyone wants a woman boss and a woman worker because unlike us lazy guys with our brandy and cigars they actually get work done.
TIME magazine praises that a lot more women than men are graduating high school and getting college degrees instead of wondering why men are not getting these degrees. Who cares if male high school graduates barely have an eighth grade reading level or that the male half of the population is getting left behind in school while the number of minority and female only scholarships just continues to increase. As long as we get more female managers and CEO’s out of the deal who cares because its women that matter, not men.
Of course we need more women managers anyways. The TIME article is another in a long line of flawed arguments positing that if it would have been Lehman Sisters instead of Lehman Brothers everyone knows that the recession would never have happened. I seriously think that in the deranged female author’s fictional perfect world men would have stayed at home while their wives did the work better than the men ever could have and the women would never have done shady deals or taken any bad risks.
Total bullshit, but it is the new world order where men do all the bad things and women are perfect creatures. I don’t like the Enron’s or the Lehman Brother’s of the past decades, but I seriously doubt having only female managers and CEO’s would suddenly eliminate all corporate corruption. Remember Martha Stewart anyone? If happy decorator lady can do shady dealing than so can anyone.
So this is the feminist future, one of total sexism. Men are bad, weak, and just not worth anything so we should be proud that women are taking the role they should in the workforce, the dominant one. No matter that this is the kind of sexism feminists were supposedly trying to eliminate for the last four decades. Its okay to do it to us guys, because its not really sexism, its the cold hard truth.
How is a guy supposed to handle when he learns that he is the unwanted sex. I know it hurts me. It makes we worry and wonder. Wonder if I’ll be able to get the job I want so I can live the life I want. Wonder if because of this gender discrimination I can live the life I want or do I just watch the women around me get the life I wanted but couldn’t have because I was unfortunately born with a penis and somehow am not a valuable leader in the new world order. It just sucks reading this crap and knowing that its politically correct to repeat it and teach it in our schools and universities.
Men are officially the ‘weaker’ sex. I don’t wanna hear any bullshit about women beign oprressed anymore.

You don’t want to hear about women being oppressed anymore? When is the last time you read some world news? Or hell, when is the last time you looked at the news concerning how women get paid less in the workplace? When is the last time you heard a man call another man a pussy? Or tell him he fights/acts/looks like a girl as an insult? When is the last time you saw the majority of the media go for three seconds without appealing to the male gaze? Why aren’t you commenting on how the media views women as walking incubators for vaginas?
All I see is your insecure whining about how you “feel” about being VIEWED by women. Instead of viewing the world through the narrow window of your emotions, try using some FACTS. Women have many negative issues affecting them in society based on the FACT that they are not valued as humans with equal worth in institutions that are necessary to making our country function. Women are oppressed based not on how they FEEL, but by how society treats them. They aren’t whining about being oppressed because they feel they might be replaced even though society tells them they are easily replaceable by someone younger/prettier/sexier. Women are complaining about being objectified in the media, or not getting equal pay, or having men discriminate against them in areas of education and the workplace. These are cold, hard facts. All you’re going on about is how some article about the non-existent future made you feel bad and hurt your delicate ego and need to feel like a big man. What women face is current, and it’s more than “Boo hoo, why don’t more of them like us?”
You think women around you are getting the you want because they have a vagina and you don’t? Get your head out of your ass and stop with the self defeating thinking. So people view you a certain way. Go cry about it, pick yourself up, and realize that women are still affected by centuries of male domination and unfair treatment. You can’t erase centuries of damage by ignoring it. And you can’t fix your own life by worrying about how these non-existent future people will hurt your feelings, even though you’ll probably still be getting paid more. Poor, poor you.
