Very bizarre. You just do not see guys really any more anywhere. Just 4-5 years ago, you would see men around. Now you just don't see them. Heck, you go to a doctor's office and it's all women in the waiting area. Every receptionist and assistant is a female. Every job-seeker is a female. Every coworker at the workplace is a woman.
What the heck has happened?
Why have men completely disappeared from offline, real world life?
Just a total retreat from society by men.
I have a buddy who is a stay-at-home dad. Said his wife was always carping about having to stay home, hated cooking, hated laundry, hated basically every aspect of it. Fine, he sez, I'll stay home and you go work. She had been a paralegal before she had the first kid. She went back to it. He stays home now. He loves it, despite the fact that they took a hit in the paycheck department. Said it's a hell of a lot easier than the machinist job he'd had.
She still bitches constantly but he isn't trading back, heh.
We've been purged.
The skilled trades are calling
True. White-collar work is predominantly female now.
Check the rivers and streams
Lmao. Well, yeah, the numbers of 'guys' like that have steadily increased over the last few years. But you don't see them that much outside. They generally seem to prefer to stay indoors.
Men with no jobs and women with jobs = less likely to have families or mates.
Its set up to make both genders be unhappy. Men has to compete with both men and women for a good job to get money to get the girl and to raise a family. Women with a good job will work hard until they get old. They rarely date men that make less money, thus limiting their already limited mate selection.
By good job, you mean any white-collar position, right? Women just completely dominate those now. Guys just don't really have regular-paying jobs any more unless they're doing blue-collar physical work.
Try working with a female diversity hire in a field you have personally worked in for 20 years, be hired with no experience, be your boss, then have her go to management and tell them you swore in a conversation she overheard. I never looked back.
Shhh, keep the master plan secret. Tell women that those nasty jobs are just too hard for them. Tom Sawyer couldn't have done it better.
How did you find this company when you were looking for a job?
Is the presence of an "HR department" the mark of the beast basically?
Is the recruiting industry also filled with these social sciences a-hole women? It's like the chicks in recruiting and the chicks in HR both mesh together to control every little aspect of the workplace.
And wow, I didn't know Craigslist was a good place to look for employers! How come private business owners advertise on Craigslist and not big sites like Indeed or Glassdoor and Ziprecruiter?
The men with wisdom are at the gym and the shooting range. Nothing else is worthy of our time.
Huh. What about looking for jobs? Or seeing the doc if you're sick? Or picking up some bread and milk at the store? Or teaching a class? Or heck, just keeping any job?
Female here, and have noticed this though it seems to vary by location. In southern AZ I had to really work hard to find non woke male doctors for hubby and I. The same happened with our payroll and accounting service, had to keep asking for new people to work with to avoid woke females and males. Banking too and naturally every government peon we had to deal with of any gender was a leftist. In Montana, things are far saner and balanced properly. Plenty of visible males. Very few leftists, and mostly easy to avoid.
I'm employed, as are most men I suppose. I just don't associate or speak to anyone in the workplace. Then I go to the gym and the range and prepare for the War.
How do you deal with your lady coworkers trying to make small talk and chitchat and 'oh my goodness, it's Sara's birthday today!' and 'oh no we don't use that word here. we say this instead' ?
No female co-workers here....
Wow! What field/industry do you work in?
Structural Engineering, not a high paid engineering field. I also work for a smaller company in a smaller city. The last female civil engineer left to have her children. We hired some female engineers in the past, but I normaly bet they are pregnant within 6 month to a year and either take maternity leave on our dime or leave permanently for family. Imho not worth the time training them. I'm also trained outside the US and a lot of US college engineering programs are a joke.
Holy fuck, it's that bad here? Why do you say US engineering schools are a joke?
I am blessed with a complete and total murder face.
I worked with plenty of guys at every retail job I had. I work with two guys now at my library job. And that’s just in my department. The entire tech department there is all guys except one. This must depend on where you live
What fields of retail have you worked in? And is your dept at your library a more technical one, or is the nature of your job more technical, as in do you have to work with a lot of software apps or database languages?
I worked at clothing stores and a home furniture store. At the library I work in circulation.
I, for one, want you back. I have three sons that are really men. I've done my share.
Are you slow or have you been drinking? Complaining that receptionists are female? They've been mostly or almost entirely female during my entire existence in this country. Usually the only men I see in any doctors offices are the doctors themselves. Grade school and high school are largely female teachers and have been for my life time and I suspect a lot of men don't want the job, the drama, being treated with suspicion and most importantly the shitty pay, shoppers are largely women and have been for ages as women love to shop and while they might not earn as much as men they sure do love to spend it. This is such a whiney and out of touch post.
Lol, totally unhinged rage for a guy who very selectively nitpicks bits that pissed him off. Even as you ignore and mentally edit out the larger, separate parts that can't be squeezed in and distorted to fit your dumbass point, all just to indulge your considerable anger issues.
-- Coworkers at various jobs, higher-ed students at any for-credit or non-credit course, instructors (NOT school teachers), literal people walking by in the streets, officials such as govt or trade association people etc were the ones listed. Yet you conveniently ignored ALL of those.
-- You completely ignored everybody else that is now female that was very clearly mentioned in the post, besides the receptionists and shoppers. School teachers were NEVER mentioned in the post! Yet you conveniently hallucinated it and indulged your delusion in your nutcase rant.
-- The post also refers to drastic changes in male visibility in the past few years, meaning that men USED to be a lot more visible and present in our society just until a few years ago The post did NOT talk about long term, already-established patterns. Did you read that part or did the booze from being alone today impair your vision?
Weirdly for a bitter and enraged guy screeching that someone else is whiny and out of touch, you have nothing positive to say about women.
And you're completely out of touch with the modern day workplace and modern day society. What a dumbass argument. You should be ashamed of yourself.
You said educational institutions in the title of your post which I saw no shortage of women in, including teachers. Have you seen how worthless a college degree is these days, especially in the degrees where women outnumber men? You realize how low pay adjunct professors positions are? College is almost worthless for folks not seeking out some sort of science, computer or engineering degree and even than an undergrad in some sciences won't get you much.
Men are all over the place, but you're hanging out in feminized places, as you mentioned retail. If I went to a shopping mall I'm sure I'd see more women there and I'm sure most stores cater to women as well, as they happen to spend more on clothes and always have and there are next to no straight men working in their stores (aside from some department stores). I see plenty of men in the home improvement stores whether shopping or working there. On the golf course I will see many more men than women, at the gym more men then women, at the bars more men than women, out boating or driving more men than women.
I work in a very masculine profession and that's not changing nor will it. The trades are overwhelmingly male, especially in Scandinavia where "gender equity" is highest. Men and women will always have different interests.
