The most feminine thing in men is trying to act masculine.Real men don’t give a Fu(k.
I also consider empathy and intuition to be female traits, nothing stops a real man (BSD) from possesing those features.
I agree, while walking I just swat people aside with my big swinging dick. It’s so alpha.
Agree.
I agree with intuition. That comes in handy.
Empathy can definitely get in your way though. Not saying you can’t have it. Just probably not a trait you’d want to have when getting to the top generally means destroying your enemies at all costs.
I’ve seen empathy play a major role in the long term success of small businesses. But in the corporate world there’s probably less use for it (which I think is probably for the worse and contributes to the bad rap of corporations).
I think the whole faceless annoymity of corporations (where most Americans spend most of their waking lives) probably has a net negative effect culturally but positive effect economically.
That was exactly what I was thinking of. Just didn’t want to write it out at work. Excellent pull.
I wonder if BS is right that most Americans spend their days in a corporation environment (vs a small business, day labor, home business, or simple homemaking, or school). This seems like one of those assumptions that is likely a much smaller percentage of the population than you would think it is (like what percent of the population has a college education).
This doesn’t mean the rest of BS’ point is wrong, though it changes the degree to which it affects people.
You’re probably right about that. But even if you’re not in the corporate environment, you’re doing business with them which is a similar thing. We’ve all at one point or another known the Kafkaesque frustration of dealing with bad customer support from an organization that simply doesn’t give a crap. Airlines and cable companies come to mind. I’ve also seen the other side of it. Do to a shipping mixup, I wound up receiving about $1,000 in merchandise from a retailer on a duplicate order that did not have to pay for and would have certainly been able to keep without consequence (or return for cash back) at a time when I was broke. The temptation to keep it or return it for cash was way higher because of the annoymity of the situation versus had it been a local store up the street (we did the right thing, but it was suprising how hard it was). I had a friend encounter a similar situation after college where he basically wound up with a free $2,000 TV due to a billing mixup he never bothered to correct. Knowing him, I don’t think he would have done that to a firm he felt was smaller. It just makes it that much harder to do the right thing under annoymity (that old saying about when no one is looking).
