I broke the mold and went into the Tech industry. But most my bloodline were ware house workers, and im sure it will continue with the next generation.

    Never met anyone who criticised women as a whole for the actions of some.

    Stereotyping certain types of women (Blonde woman in a short skirt wearing lots of jewellery and hanging around older men=gold digging), sure but they also stereotyped other men... (Heavily Bearded Man=Scruffy/Bald guy with tattoos=Rough, poor and stupid).

    Indeed. One side of my family has cops on it. The other has criminals.

    I jest, but the cop part is true for 1 family within the fold. The dad (my mom's cousin) broke his family's mold of working in industry and became a cop. His 3 children are now; A cop, a security guard aspiring to become a cop, and the sister is in the military.

    The dad's sister however, didn't break away from the mold and she works in the electricity industry.

    So the bull stands for the strength of the American people during times of hardship and was installed during a stock market crash. The fearless girl is there to? Show that a little girl can stand up to the American people and stop their strength? I don't get how the fearless girl doesn't insult the bull to anyone that knows the true meaning of it. If anything you could even say the little girl is an act of unpatriotic symbolism because it is intend on stopping the bull "The strength of the American people".

    You're actually exhibiting the exact same attitude exemplified in that comic.

    Don't worry, I've never ever believed that "all men call women gold diggers". That doesn't mean none do though, especially on these forums.

    Nah, someone would find a way to be offended by it.

    ITT I learned that apparently there is no discrimination against women in executive leadership.

    Which is certainly an interesting interpretation on it -- and also clearly spoken by people with no exposure to executive leaders.

    And it is, does that mean I generalize that it applies to all men?

    No, it doesn't. Which I've made perfectly clear numerous times in this thread.

    Gender/racial discrimination is the invention of those groups in their quest to score advantages and benefits, not something real. Pff!

    :P

    You could have confused me by pushing a shit comic as proof.

    It's an example of the attitudes, not "proof" of anything really.
    And if you "could've been fooled" then perhaps it'd be an idea to try harder to understand? Because I've never referred to all men, merely to some men on these forums and that comic accurately depicting the attitude among them.

    One sides attitudes. Book holding feminist only talks about pig men.

    You're really set on wearing the victim cardigan, huh?

    In the very last frame the scary "feminist" (a woman standing up for herself) distinctly explains what it is she's having an issue with among those 3 men, not going off on some rant about how they represent every man out there.

    But I suppose it's difficult to see if one doesn't see the hypocrisy in the first place within making sweeping generalizations about women but being angered if the same is done in relation to men.

    Which comes back to "NOT ALL MEN!! But yes, all women", the point being made within the comic.
