I remember I really liked some product. And while walking to the cash register I saw it said "a women owned company" I walked 360° and put it back.

I wont buy your grand standing product. Racist sexist fucks.

That's low effort. I do a full 720 and let go of it at max spin.

I would gladly use this product to avoid women-owned businesses. I am a women and I have worked for women, and I hope I never have to do that again. Their hormones create a layer of instability over their personality that makes them exceedingly difficult to work for. Only ever met two exceptions to that.

Not only that, but in this kind of climate, men deserve our support especially in the workplace.

My mentor at work is a woman, and talks about this constantly. She is incredibly based, and is working under me only because her kids are grown and out of the house and she gets bored otherwise (yes, she is below me and I still consider her my mentor- she's an incredibly sharp woman with a huge amount of knowledge in my field, while I am relatively new). When I moved up a position she dragged me aside for a little discussion. Her primary concern? "ModernKnight, you had BETTER NOT put a woman in your position. You'd better do your best to make sure it's a man in that position. I don't care what woman it is, DO NOT put a woman in charge! I've been under too many horrible female supervisors over the years, and if you put a woman over me I WILL QUIT! I'll do it! I'll just pack up and walk out on you!" She is amazing.

She sounds like a real cool lady. I can understand why you consider you her mentor.

Nice. It's so refreshing to hear decisions made for the well being of everyone based off of reality instead of PC expectations.

My mom also kinda hates working for females bosses cause when she was younger, she outshone one of them and got all the male attention and her boss got hella pissed. The boss did petty shit like put her way in the corner and gave her poor reviews. I’m fine working for whoever but, people need to realize it’s behavior like that really promotes the gender stereotype of women being overly emotional. Negative events like that stick in public consciousness. I’d hate to be subordinate to someone with that temperament.

Because they know they get free shit and special treatment for having a vagina. It's not "imposter syndrome" it's a realistic skepticism of whether they're actually good at something or are getting the pussy pass.

Genuine question here, would you agree that that's also a basis to not allow women in to politics?

Yes, for the mostpart.

I mean, I DID have two great female bosses. Just two, mind you, but I know there can be exceptions to every social rule. I wouldn't be outright opposed to a female politician, but I don't like it much. Take Sarah Sanders, I would vote for her for any office she wanted. But most ladies just don't have the temperament for it.

Thank you for your insight! It's amazing how many times I get that question spat back at me which goes along with the theory.

It's like the whole "does this dress make me look fat" brain game, but on a societal level. No good

I read a survey years ago that said the majority of both men and women prefer to do business with men. I'm sure that survey has been buried and branded sexist by now.

yep. if it's a good product then I don't care who makes it (except China) but if you're going to go out of your way to virtue signal that it's a "black owned" or "Women owned" company that made the product, I'm not participating in the virtue signal. All i care about is the product, not who made it.

Same here. This came up with some friends at a book store. They had sections for "African American Authors" and "LZOMGBBQ Authors." I refused to set foot in those sections, and when one of my friends tried to call me out on it, I told her "if they can't make it as an author without virtue signalling what they are, they don't deserve my business."

I once worked with (not for) a company a couple of women inherited from their father. Naturally they immediately ran it into the ground with one bad choice after another and every choice took months to reach. Their top priority was spending a year redesigning their logo.
