Hi Guys,
Firstly I'm so glad that a place like this exists, where we can gather talk about the injustices and not have to apologize for our own existence - as seems to be more mainstream thing to do these days.
Now I grew up always questioning gender norms since i was in elementary school - starting off with "never hit a girl" being shoved down our throats. I was pleasantly surprised in 2011, when after browsing Youtube for hours, i'd come across videos from the likes bararossaaaa, GWW, Stardusk and manwomenmyth to see people pointing out things I've always felt about society but could never articule.
Now to my questions, both related to working at the office.
1) What is the diplomatic/alpha way to respond when you get cut off mid sentence. this isn't happening in a meeting with big-wigs, but rather during lunch time with equals. We have one very entitled girl, who will dominate the group convo (granted it's a group convo where everyone is kind of having their own seperate convos (nothing being spoken is work related). I was midsentance with the colleague nearest to me, she just jumps in quickly asks a question to the person i was talking to, and he gets involved with her existing conversation. It's just frustrating because I have no idea to react. It's happens very quickly, It's annoying as hell, but you can't respond agressivly, because the whole vibe at lunch is laid back and people would just be like "it's no big deal calm down". And then she acknowledged it and gave me an over the shoulder "sorry" before contining with her conversation. i think a lot of it is due to tonality, posture and perception - all things i'm working on. But surely there is a way to fucking assert myself without being shamed out of the office or told it's not a big deal
2) Again office related. Myself and 3 women i work with were leaving office and walking to a car, one of the women, met us in the parking lot, and she was carrying a big box (personal things), somewhat struggling but seemed like she could manage. And obviously one of the other two started with "are you going to let her carry that!?" and you see i'm a red pill inductee but how the hell can i deal with people, shaming you into being whatever they define a man is on that particular day. And I work with them, i can't go on a rant and jeopardize the working relationship/friendship especially in a company where literally every other male is a blue pill white knights. And it's just ridiculous, because you know, i know and they certainly know that had it been just the three of them they would've managed just fine. It's just pure laziness.
TL;DR: Red pill taker, who is working on his shyness/social awkwardness needs to know: 1)how do you deal with alphafemale (or alpha anyone) cutting you off mid sentence? 2)how to deal with being casually shamed into chivalry?
