One of the last taboes: women being envious of other women at work

Not really.

Let me elaborate on this one sentence reply with this video of an educator who so eloquently reflects my sentiments.



Beauty fades, but dumb is forever - quoted by Jude Judy's father. This is not directed to anyone on this thread, it's just a saying that rings true for me.

I prefer how Ron White put it - you can't fix stupid.

He should take his own advice.

My daughter went to see Fluffy.

They bumped him for Ron White - - who got so drunk he fell off the stage. People started walking out.

The guy in your vid is an insensitive fool. His ilk breeds the need for figures like this>

You crack me up. What do you consider young? And of course what I write is all about me. Should it be all about you? Now be a nice girl and check the link I sent and the article plus comments. No more about me, otherwise I might start to blush

Now I like the pal Drunk as a skunk

As to the quote about stupid: Beauty is truth, truth beauty. Now that we're quoting I might as well toss some Keats in this discussion.

Political correct nonsense (which changes with how the wind blows) is ugly. I am interested in how the truth is, not what I would like to believe. Fairy tales are for the weak.

LMAO Ron is quite possibly the last hope (perceived) for a lot of ATS'ers. Any chance to talk politic. (Politics threads are usually the busiest and loudest threads on here)

I am talking about women who try to do jobs that are physically heavy or that women just usually don't want (crane operation, construction, anythng that has to do with heavy labour.) It's pretty obvious that I am jaded, as my experiences led me to what I am now. That is not in debate. Sometimes I don't even really understand why a woman would want a job like mine (wooden pallet repair and demolition) other than the fact that someone told them they couldn't. That's the issue I have with some women who try to do "man's work." It's called man's work because no woman in their right mind would ever want to do it lol. They have more sense than we do obviously, so why would they be caught in a job that nobody wants lol. It's like some women only try to go for jobs like that because someone along the line told them they couldn't. So the basis for that journey would be spite. Spite is not a healthy emotion and when someone conducts their entire career out of spite, it's not such a stretch to imagine that they may lose something along the way. Yes, my opinion is unfortunate, but it is for the most part, an educated one formed through personal experience.

As far as "man's work" there was many jobs considered men's work that were not heavy labor...if you look it up even doctor's were once only a male profession. So here I am speaking of work in that precept. I didn't take the job out of spite, I took it out of necessity....I will never forget pulling out 40+ slivers out of my hands when I first started, but that paycheck helped our household very much and being thrifty as I am, I didn't need the gym (saves $360 a year) I saw it as getting a work out while on the clock So darling, not all women who take on a labor job do it for spite... I have nothing against men.
