They abandoned labor, so this cabal of angry women, corporate lobbyists and israel is their whole constituency. They can't stop being misandrist or they lose a leg of their tripod.
Overheard a conversation at work a little while back where someone was being fired on the spot, and this random guy was told by the female supervisor to come and stand by, "just in case." The implication being he was to be on hand in case things got violent, like he was just automatically expected to put his safety in jeopardy, even though it was in no way his job. Unreal.
The Godfather. Maybe not so much the racketeering and murder part, but I always considered Michael Corleone a model for how not to let your emotions control you, how to bide your time and plan your moves carefully.
But I did think I deserved to not be doing worse than Henry. The longer I live the more I think 'deserve' is the cruelest, most deceptive word in the dictionary.
For middle-aged men, feeling lonely all the time can be as bad or worse for long-term health as heavy drinking or gaining too much weight. Guess I got the hat trick.
'I was on the look out for a special man who would share my dream of combining all my life goals with a family,' she says. You just can't make this shit up.
This reminds me of an old short story by Stephen King called "Quitters Inc." about a guy who hired this company to get him to quit smoking by agreeing to all sorts of horrible shit being done to him and his family if he smoked. I feel the same way about my life- I can improve if I'm forced to, but I'm not, so I won't.
Then, her man’s eye begins to wander, until he is either drawn to a younger, more virile model; or he goes the full monty and pays for sex on the side. I think this guy needs to look up the definition of 'virile.' At least I hope so.
Wow, I have to admit I'm impressed. This article manages to seamlessly blend entitlement, sexism, credentialism and gold-digging into a frothy frozen cocktail of wrong that goes down smooth as a shot of strychnine.
It's probably helped along by the 'salaryman' culture there where a guy basically serves a company like a peasant and the old feudal lords. After so many hours and years he's just exhausted with nothing to show for it.
Um, organic chemist here. I am not prestigious or well paid. My daily mantra is "I shoulda been an accountant." Also, as a general comment, "STEM" is not an actual thing. It's an acronym made up by lazy politicians and lying lobbyists as an umbrella term for 'all that hard stuff most people can't do.' That doesn't mean it's all the same thing. Engineers make way more than I ever will.
