Should March 8 be A Day Without Men Day?

If i had had any doubt this would have removed it.

Clearly this is the reason you’re such a pathetic loser. If only it weren’t for those damnable women…

Even you’re not convinced.

Interestingly, the data varies significantly by race.

white men: 51,333
white women: 35,331
difference: 16,002
% men more likely to work: 45.3%

black men: 6,616
black women: 6,722
difference: -106
% women more likely to work: 1.6%

Asian men: 4,055
Asian women: 3,065
difference: 990
% men more likely to work: 32.3%

It looks like it’s black women who really need the day off. White women, on the other hand… not so much.

Oh, I see we’ve moved to the race baiting portion of this troll’s patter. How predictable.

Where did I say that women taking the day off wouldn’t result in catastrophe?

You can look, but you won’t find it.

The only people saying stupid things like that are RivkahChaya:

And asahi:

Only feminists say idiotic things like that.

I see, I stand corrected now.

However, I would also surmise that men make the large majority of medical, emergency or national defense related occupations without which the nation might really suffer. I believe that the large majority of firefighters, paramedics, surgeons, police officers, air traffic controllers, airline pilots, nuclear-reactor operators, 911 dispatchers, military personnel, for instance, are male. Take those away and we are looking at potentially a The Purge level national crisis.

Any substantial portion of the population disappearing would lead to an economic disaster, whether it’s men, women, immigrants, or Harry Potter fans.

Currently, men are disproportionately represented in hard, dirty and dangerous jobs, or jobs that build or maintain infrastructure or the flow of goods. For example, construction of all stripes, electrical line installation, trucking, sanitation, logging, mining, metal working, oil rig worker, commercial fishing, police, fire and rescue, military, dock workers, environmental clean up, and so on.

Historically, women performed a fair amount of hard or dangerous labor, such as stoop agriculture or factory work (back before OSHA was a thing). There are places in Africa where women walk for hours through sweltering heat to fetch water for their family. When large amounts of men go off to war the women have to fill the void. So it’s not as if they can’t do these jobs, if they were required to do so. There would be a difficult transition, as the low number of female participants in the above industries would have to train new women in large numbers.

Velocity What if we look at this way and agree to move on: men are more highly represented in some fields (military, construction, firefighters), women are more highly represented in others (education), both are present in medicine, business, law, service industries, etc and society is fucked without both of them. How’s that? We need everyone. The only person in this thread who really doesn’t think so, as far as I can tell, is Linus. You good, or are you with Linus on the “men don’t get no love” train?

Heck, I’m not defending him! I’m just saying that the Pit’s rather repetitive these days. A half-wit misogynist is almost a breath of fresh air.

Looks more like “crushed the red and blue pills together and snorted them” to me.

Uh, I quoted above the people who think we don’t need everyone, and they aren’t me.

I’m glad you think I’m a breath of fresh air. I’m curious why you think I’m misogynist, though.

Why would it be awesome? What point of protest would be made?

It’s that thing what you try but can’t but gets done to you all, like, the time.

It’s amazing how many women become lesbians when you’re around them.

I think it’s fairly obvious that anyone who hates women as much as LinusK does must be motivated by the fact that women universally loathe him. One can only assume that the women have good reason. Based on his online persona, my guess would be that in addition to being a hateful bigot, LinusK has all the charm and attraction of a hemorrhoidal eruption in an orangutang’s asshole.

anything not about SCROTUS is a nice change

LinusK, does this proof that you were lying about not knowing what “red pill” means cause you great embarrassment? It should.

Do you routinely lie, or just when you want to troll? Or is lying kind of uncontrollable for you? I know some people just lie for no reason. Are you a calculated liar or a compulsive liar?

can an already wrecked train go on to be another trainwreck?
