Michelle Dickinson, mind your own effing business!

Posted on May 3, 2015 by KG

‘An engineering firm that has a topless calendar and uses a bikini-clad model on the back of a delivery truck has been blasted as sexist by top scientist Dr Michelle Dickinson.
On Friday, Dickinson, who runs New Zealand’s only nanotechnology laboratory, confronted bosses at Metal Skills Ltd’s Auckland workshop over its use of near-nude calender shots on its open Facebook page. Provocative photos of glamour models in g-strings straddle and lie on sheetmetal equipment throughout the company page..’
I am so fucking sick of this whining bullshit, this fashionable confected outrage, this carefully choreographed dance of caterwauling women with nothing better to do than look for offence in every conceivable nook and cranny of life.
Somebody tell me please, why workplaces are required to meet women’s standards of what is “acceptable”, rather than men’s? Perhaps men are now second-class humans, relegated to merely playing a support role for that half of the population that’s never written a great symphony, never explored and opened up oceans and countries under primitive and dangerous conditions, has almost never invented any of the things that make modern life so much easier than it was for our ancestors.
Of course, wherever there’s a dirty, dangerous but essential occupation, these Uterus Entitlement Warriors are seldom to be found actually at work. They demand some kind of notional “equality” along with special considerations for their delicate sensibilities
They do a great disservice to what used to be known as normal, sensible women, those women who recognise the essential differences between us and are content to get on with their lives, enjoying equality of opportunity without whining about equality of outcomes. And without demanding that men be de-balled and turned into honorary women.
We men like girly calenders in the workplace. We like telling dirty jokes and we like the cameraderie of drinks and mutual insults on a Friday afternoon after work. And guess what? We like best of all those women who pull their weight alongside us, who can somehow manage to be feminine while being competent workmates who don’t whine and bleat about inconsequential crap and demand special treatment on the basis of gender.
People like Dickinson would wither and die on a Queensland cattle station, for example, where the ONLY measure of any person is their ability to do the job.

    !!!MMM*!!!Dr. Dickinson may need 2 upgrade her web presence with some manly male models lounging around her nanotech lab. btw**, what is nanotechnology? Just in the past week, yours very trulililily spent a considerable amount of time in Blackberry’s Ovalular Office. While blowing some smoke yours very trulilily noticed that he had several nice calendars with white ladies who looked a lot better than the Metal Skills FB page as illustrated in the bog adminstrueator’s above post. OOPS got a tweeP! Later.

    I’m going to direct Ms Dickinson to some topless bars and strip clubs so she can have a heart attack and die.

    Aside, a feminist with a name like Dickinson is comedy gold in and of itself.

    ‘We men like girly calenders in the workplace. We like telling dirty jokes and we like the cameraderie of drinks and mutual insults on a Friday afternoon after work.’

    Fine by me – I’d prefer this – real men, ruggedly handsome and in peak physical condition. There’s nothing like being yes ma’amed by a man in the services who has some manners and knows how to treat a woman with respect, like my dad did, but y’know I’m very happily married.

    Oh the horror of nudie calendars and wolf-whistling. I’m going to set up a blog to save wimminhood and call it VAGENDA. Now don’t any of you go and steal the title from me.

    “We men like girly calenders in the workplace. We like telling dirty jokes and we like the cameraderie of drinks and mutual insults on a Friday afternoon after work. And guess what?”

    Guess what? Speak for yourself!
    I am a man and I don’t want to look at calenders with naked women at work or make dirty jokes with my co-workers.

    “We like best of all those women who pull their weight alongside us, who can somehow manage to be feminine while being competent workmates who don’t whine and bleat about inconsequential crap and demand special treatment on the basis of gender.”

    Aren’t you demanding special treatment based on your gender by demanding that you are allowed to make dirty jokes because you are a man?

    And why should women care about what you like? You are not the one who decides how women should behave. As if women are only worthy if they do as the men say and if they are not feminine enough for you or if they don’t want to hear sexism at work they are somehow whining.

      You are a fuckwit, completely missing the issues.
      eg
      “I am a man and I don’t want to look at calenders with naked women at work or make dirty jokes with my co-workers.”
      Well, bully for you, Captain Purity, if indeed you are a man. But whether you want to or not is utterly irrelevant. Other people may enjoy doing those things and you don’t have the right to decide for them.
      “Aren’t you demanding special treatment based on your gender by demanding that you are allowed to make dirty jokes because you are a man?”
      No. Although I forget the last time I told a dirty joke I am objecting to other people telling me I’m not allowed to. The issue is liberty, not gender. I have a right to speak as I please and I have the right to offend people by doing so. The word “allowed” implies some superior being giving me permission to speak.You are obviously comfortable with that. Free men are not.
      “And why should women care about what you like? You are not the one who decides how women should behave.”
      I don’t tell women how they may behave, only that they have no right to dictate how men should behave.Yet women are telling men how they should behave, and that is apparently ok by you.
      So I suggest you crawl back into your hole and spend a few minutes checking to see if you own a pair of balls, girlyman.
      Now fuck off.

      Yeah, I bet you’re a “man” in as much as you were born with a penis instead of a vagina and you’re now 18 or older.

      But that doesn’t really make you a man. It just makes you male.

      If you don’t like looking at pictures of hot women then you’re either gay or the progressive movement has messed you up worse than Pavlog’s dog.

      That said, why don’t you go find the model who prostituted herself and let down “team progressive”? Why not go make her life difficult, eh?

      Oh. I forgot. You’re not allowed…

      What’s laughable is that women don’t respect you for your views. They think you’re pathetic. No matter what they say, they’re attracted to burly brutes who treat ’em mean to keep ’em keen. So keep up the pandering and grovelling. Short of donating sperm, your limber-dick genes won’t be around long.

        “I don’t tell women how they may behave, only that they have no right to dictate how men should behave.”

        You are the one telling women that they should not be offended at your sexism and that they should be feminine.

        And you call me a fuckwit for disagreeing and you question if I am a man. I have more respect for men than you because men are more than the caricatures that you make them out to be.

        “What’s laughable is that women don’t respect you for your views. They think you’re pathetic.”

        Do they? How do you know? You are a man, how do you know what women think? And even if that was true – if women look down on me for who I am then the problem is with them, not with me.

        So many assumptions in your post that say a lot about you.

        How about accepting that people have different viewpoints? You claim to be so manly but I don’t see any confidence in your words. In fact, your writing basically screams “I am so insecure!”. Or maybe that is what you think a man is? In that case, I don’t want to be one.

          The metal works isn’t doing anything that is sexist,the good doctor is in the throes of psychotic nest building.So much so she assembled a posse of like minded nest builders and one token “male” to throw down an odd mini-“protest” of sorts at a business where she isn’t employed and does not have a stake in either it’s running or policy.
          And just how did she become aware of this supposed “sexist” environment?Was she or is she a patron?Did she have interaction with the shop staff?Or did she simply see the advert on their trucks and decided to go commando on them all by herself? It’s nutty behavior anyway you slice it and if she is married I feel sorry for the poor bastard she’s married to.The man would either have to be drunk,or on serious meds to stand up to that Tornando of ding battery.http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_wacko.gif

            The pity of it is, she’s a female working in an engineering field, something I’ve always argued for. Why the hell she needs to climb on the feminist bullshit bandwagon is a mystery.

          Mister security here is so secure in his manhood and what it means to be a man that he’s declared surrender to a stranger on what it means to be a man and renounced his manhood.

          Now that’s the kind of intestinal fortitude that’s gonna rebuild a better society! http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_yes.gif

          Hey Mike. I’m guessing you’ve got plenty of friends that are girls but not many girlfriends. Amiright? http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_yes.gif

            But cheer up, Mike. You’ve only been neutered metaphorically. You can come back from this.

            Hit the gym, get large, get into MMA and harden up. Do it and guess who’s going to come sniffing around? Yeah. Those same feminists that loved your docile servility but kept friend-zoning you half way to first base.

            Not only have I seen it but I’ve been it.

            Wise up. You’re being played for a chump.

    Let’s take Mike’s points in his comments above one at a time, shall we?
    “You are the one telling women that they should not be offended at your sexism and that they should be feminine. ”
    I’m doing neither, since I am not sexist by any rational (ie not militant feminist) reading of the word and I have a very, very broad idea of what it means to be feminine. Far broader, in fact, than most of the shrill zealots who try to ram feminazi ideology down men AND women’s throats. My “sexism” is that refusal to bend the knee to whining, self-absorbed little girls.

    “And you call me a fuckwit for disagreeing and you question if I am a man. I have more respect for men than you because men are more than the caricatures that you make them out to be. ”
    No, I don’t call you a fuckwit for disagreeing with me. I call you a fuckwit because you completely miss the central issue in the post. For letting the urge to flash your sensitive nice-guy credentials (you know, those credentials “allowed” men by shrews nowadays) to overtake your frontal lobes.
    I don’t make men out to be caricatures, but I do value maleness and I won’t allow activist whining women and their girlyman lapdogs to define it for me. Because they’ve succeeded in doing that in your case doesn’t signify anything other than your jelly-spined ambivalence and cowardice.

    “How about accepting that people have different viewpoints? ”
    Oh, but I do. There are almost 60, 000 comments in CR and even a quick look through them will show numerous examples where me and a reader disagree about something and the result is almost always an amiable exchange of views. I just don’t tolerate idiots who presume to lecture me.
    I am very happily married to a wonderfully intelligent, strong-willed, courageous woman. I have female friends who are smart, feminine and outspoken. I count a couple of lesbian women and homosexual males as friends. That seems to me to indicate an acceptance of different viewpoints.
    But not one of them has the temerity and the arrogance to tell me what to think, just as I wouldn’t dream of telling them what to think or how to behave. We live in an adult world, where differences are at least tolerated, sometimes celebrated and often made fun of.
    You, on the other hand, come across as a product of the relentless pressure to conform and kowtow to the opinions and voices of zealots who are waging a war on men. Too insecure (your word) to chart your own course.
    Which makes you contemptible. And certainly far less than a man.

      And that’s exactly the problem with politicians (and a lot of police officers). They treat the rest of the population as little children because they see themself as superior beings.

    “Geez, strangling rats would be something better to do than hassling a hardworking small business owner.”

    Just to put this all in perspective-

    Rightnow,this second,elsewhere in the world women and girls are being beaten,raped,sold as property,subjugated into slavery,burned and stoned to death.Baby girls are being drowned by their fathers because they are seen as a curse,mutilated by their elders and told they cannot drive,cannot vote,cannot even show a ankle in public.Cannot marry who they want,worship the god they want or walk on the street where they want.

    And this one goes off over a cheesecake poster at a metal fab shop where the female employees don’t seem to mind it.

    Ya,makes perfect sense don’t it?How bout she goes down to the local mosque and reads them the riot act face to face and get their problems fixed first before hyperventilating over a few t&a pinups.

      Too bloody right.

      Pissweak activists going after soft targets that just happen to be on the other side of the political fence.

      This is not about the image of women. This is about finding a justification to harass people you don’t like as a hobby.
