The High Status Male

Mike,

I worked in an office of a steel company with a bunch of pissed-off old divorced women in their 40s-50s until I was laid-off (while the office deadwood was retained), but that’s life.  I currently work part-time at a (retail store) here in Kansas City with a lot of hot women in the 20s-30s.  They’re much more pleasant to work with, and way better to look at!

My former office setting was an open bull pen arrangement.  Well, let me tell you… these old fuckin’ “battle axes” miss lots of work due to sick kids, come in late, leave early, gossip, bull-shit all day long, bitch about men, pick fights, don’t pull their weight, and make the workplace miserable for guys like me who just want to make some money, pursue their careers, and advance themselves.  Feminized and emasculated male managers are scared shitless to reprimand or fire these witches.  In fact, as I learned the hard way at my last job, management will often punish YOU for the sins of others — or for complaining about these blatant abuses.  It’s fucked up, Mike!

My old man, a retired machinist, had a saying about women in the workplace.  “Women make up 50% of today’s workforce, but about 10% of them are worth a shit!” Wise words indeed!

The economy is still in the toilet.  In fact, a buddy of mine in mid-management just took a job at 30% less salary.  He’s been out of work for 5 months.  I myself have an interview with a good company next week.  I’ve been hounding the guy (HSM at work!) every 2 months for the past couple of years.  I would be working primarily with men, and for a man!  I hope to God I can get out of this shit hole.

Anyway, how can a guy cope with all this BS?  I know I’m not alone here.

Mike,

Last month I took a sick day due to a summer cold.  I decided to turn on daytime television.  ( I never watch television, but usually rent videos instead.)

What I saw horrified me… an endless stream of male bashing! Jenny Jones, Montel Williams, and Oprah Winfrey… all demonizing men.  Every trailer trash loser and abuser was a man.  Female judges harshly reprimanded men while their ex-wives cheered.  Dating shows paired dullards with stylish and sophisticated women.  The women mocked the men’s character flaws, slovenly dress, and impaired social skills.  The sharp witted (dim witted if you ask me) male host poked fun at the men, but ignored the bitchy, psychotic and catty women.  Then came the Lifetime and Oxygen channels… do I even need to tell you about them?

Disgusted, I turned off the television and headed back to bed.  Two messages were clearly conveyed.  One, men are evil!  Two, women are “entitled” to having it all, and if they don’t have it all, it’s men’s fault.  Can you believe this shit?

Hi Dan,

Looks like you discovered the first rule of modern political correctness, that being, men indeed are evil and are the source of all the real problems in the world.  Men are constantly being beaten up as low-lifes, perverts, bad husbands, bad fathers, etc… on all these “Oprahfied” programs.  It’s a wonder that any sex occurs at all anywhere with the way women are being trained to hate us by watching all these stupid fucking TV shows.  Every plot on Lifetime has to do with a woman being raped by some guy, abused by her rotten husband, or molested by a monstrous father.  And of course, the men all get theirs in the end… yay! Then you’ve got these worthless lap dogs like Dr. Phil who have made a career of turning traitor by going over to the other side and continuing the damage.

I agree that there’s a lot of animosity in women nowadays, and I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that they are frustrated because men don’t seem to understand them, especially when it comes to behaviors that they think will make them happy — mostly matters of the heart and romance.  Men are nothing but fat, beer-drinking, football-watching slobs who do nothing but have sex and then lay on the couch and resist doing anything else, (like helping out with the kids or cleaning up the house).

In my book you’ll see that I’ve focused mostly on teaching guys how to be better men, and to project the kind of attitude, look and appeal that women find attractive.  This could go long way toward smoothing over some of these animosities that you see being played out on TV.  Read the book and see for yourself, and let me know you think.  Take care buddy, and try to stay upbeat (like me wouldja?
