Not a big surprise. I used to work at a high end restaurant and listened to women come and gossip and say some ugly things about their “friends” and talk about how great they are and how they’re this kind of person thinking they’re so reflective and in the right about some arbitrary thing. And than watch them come back the next week with the friend they were talking about and gossip about the friend she was just with spending lunch from 12 to almost dinner time at 4 where we have to hush them out dressed up in ugly paired designer clothes and act extremely rude to the staff.
It was always interesting to me seeing my sister fight with her friends for weeks and one day they go from best friends to not speaking. While us guys would literally get in a fist fight and become best friends after it and forget about it.
The thing modern feminists annoy me the most is they want equal outcome and ignore equal opportunity. And in many ways are holding women back. I don’t take female clients anymore to train since the me too thing. Physical training requires me to touch and see your body and understand your muscles and how your body is working. It really helps if I can touch you and physically guide you through stuff instead of just show you. I don’t feel comfortable with women anymore these days. And I bet many businesses probably might stay away from hiring women as a result and if they do they might just do it for “equality” and hire unqualified women and make people more resentful of women in the work place.
Thats a shame Andrew, sorry to hear you no longer take female clients for what it’s worth I think you might consider bucking the trend, stick with your principles and not let #metoo movements dictate what you can and can’t do.
On a side note on women telling you things about each other. I am reminded of something I used to do in England in the summers, which was cut peoples hedges. This one was 14 or 15 feet tall, the neighbors would take turns coming out and slagging off the other neighbor, of course they would hear everything. Then 15 minutes later it would be their turn and the other neighbors would listen. Sometimes, you are not an important factor in the conversation but a means to deliver a message.
Honestly I don’t really agree with feminism these days, not only every single female celebrity claims to be a feminist because is cool and trendy but they have come to really extreme levels where we are no longer talking about wanting women to be equal as men but rather superior. For example as mentioned above where female are marching because they need to cook for family during festivities… in 2018 this is no longer a requirement, there are options like takeout that solve the issue, as a woman I enjoy cooking for my loved ones and love the fact that this has become in a way a tradition, my food is appreciated and bring my family United.
So women are marching because men supposedly expect them to cook when women in fact expect men to be the ones to bring money home. We all expect things from each other.
I wouldn’t match for this cause.
It is a shame, but the me/too movement is too grand now and it’ll probably show up in Asia at some time or another. It is far to risky for a specialist like Andrew0409 in his small field to deal with women, due to the reasons he’s explained above. There are other fields that may soon become dangerous too. One-on-one teaching at the home. If I was a male private tutor of an adult female student (or child/teenager for that matter), I would not do it anymore in a private place. Do it in a coffee shop or somewhere there are other people. Just too risky, and yet safer for both parties in the end.
I understand @Andrew0409 's view. People are afraid of being wrongly accused. At first, I thought Mike Pence was over the top in his view but with all of the accusations going around, I understand why he is so careful. Back in 2012, I was working in corporate America, and the company had a fantastic gym onsite. I paid for personal trainers both male and female and they were professional, excellent trainers. One thing that is usually an advantage for me but sometimes a disadvantage is that I’m intuitive. I can see trouble brewing before it happens. I like @Andrew0409 's comparison of how men and women fight. It’s usually true! I raised a boy and a girl. The girl would pass notes and keep stirring it. The boy would just have a fist fight and they’d by over it.
It’s interesting you mention Pence. The women on The View laughed or made fun of or ridiculed (whatever description one wants to use) Pence, because he prays before making a decision or whatnot (or does not meet with women alone). Then the entertainment news lately is all over Oprah saying that if God did want her to run for president, she wants to see a very clear sign (said in all seriousness, which I respect her for). However, not a word from the left on this. I dislike both the left and right career politicians, but dislike double-standards even moreso.
Donald’s divine right vs. Oprah’s divine right is like apples to hypothetical apple seeds. When she says she has received a clear sign (or a supporter says it, it gets reported, and she doesn’t object), then you can get excited, m’kay?
Ha.
I won’t get excited.
I’ll just watch The View’s reaction to see how they treat a sign from God to Oprah versus how they’ve treated Pence who just happens to pray all the time to God.
And it sorta happened in Taiwan last April before the #metoo movement took place due to a suicide, though it was less about work place sexual harassment and more about harassment/assault/rape in a schooling environment.
Personally I’m not really invested in this #metoo movement because the instigators (Hollywood) are flat-out phonies. They are only saying pretty words to look good and fool the stans who buy them. I honestly doubt it’s gonna change anything.
Ah yes, Japan, where the survivors of terrorist kidnapping incidents overseas hang their heads in shame upon returning home (because if they had just been salarymen like everyone else, it never would have happened). Nothing unusual.
