OT: Job hunting.

Hey folks.

As some will know, i'm in America, Michigan, and my work permitt has come through. Well, it's been here a while, but i've been in England seeing family.
Anyway, i'm seeking employment. If anyone has any suggestions for employment within the IT sector preferably. I'm fairly technical in mind, and have good experience in sales techniques both telephone and retail-wise. I'd be willing to work in almost any retail type of position, but would give preference to IT and/or sales as they're what i have most experience in.

I'm looking for the s/e side of Michigan - if anyone has any ideas, please pm me by clicking this link: and we can discuss privately and in more detail.


Thanks

So I smiled and was happy, and behold... Things did get worse.

Gender Neutral Domestic Violence Law

The politically correctoid media bombards males with a perpetual barrage of anti-male depictions and rhetoric, that makes turning on ones television a russian roulette. In that your extremely lucky to find the one channel in the misandric chamber which doesn't blow your head off with it's unashamed anti-male intent. Framed as always under the guise of realigning some mythical past patriarchal oppression of women by men.

Today girls and even grown women seem to think that empowerment is 'apeing' the worst excesses of a minority of the male population, and even outdoing them.You go girl! (major sarcasm). We see this notion reinforced across every aspect of the media. Females, especially young impressionable girls take their "social cues" - in part - as how to behave, or rather how not to behave from the media like it or not. The rise in girl gangs, violence and general crimes ensures an increase in the female prison population is just beggining to embrace this bizarre notion of 'girl power.' Not to mention an increase of male domestic violence cases and murders.

I despair at any act of domestic violence perpetrated against an innocent child,male,female,old (elder abuse). There all crimes. They all deserve the equal outcome of the law, however we are not all equal before the law in this regard. Therein lies the crux of the problem. With sexist chauvinistic notions of "gender roles" which pervade and concepts of outdated notions of punishments divided via a morale prerequisite as to how things are supposed to be.

Something to note. The most precious group of beings on planet earth - children (sorry feminists its not women BTW) do not get righteous justice enacted against violent mothers who have physically abused or murdered their child/dren. Then how can men expect to receive even some sympathy let alone justice.

We have a long way to go, our station as men is probably less in value than some womens cats and dogs. Were more valuable dead than alive, and how that came about doesn't seem to be much of a priority to the powers that be (or so it seems). A common misconception I hear "she was probably defending herself anyway and the bastard deserved it." Age old feminist cliches served up as a matter of course.

The reality is, only a small minority of women 'have' to revert to violence as a matter of defence. The majority are no different than men in reasons to inact violence on their partner, jealousy, anger, spite, revenge, drugs, loss of temper, alcohol, vindictiveness, loss of control, making a statement - combination/s of -etc.

These deeply entrenched sexist mindsets have to be overturned if we are ever going to make domestic violence gender neutral. Once this marxist-feminist contrived "gravy train" is derailed we can make transparent the despicable folly that has been fed to the gullible masses for far too long.

A target being, as I mentioned - domestic violence being GENDER NEUTRAL which would end the political/financial stranglehold organisations like N.O.W (National Organization of Women) have over the US political fold in particular. Receiving billions of dollars! This would free up political affiliation and a sure thing - in part - for once to consider mens needs in political manifestos and campaigns. An alien concept I know, but it might just catch on.



"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
Joseph Goebbels

The internet has been like a lifeboat for mens opposition to the floodings of feminism.

Here's an interesting article on that which i stumbled upon yesterday.

Quote:
A slap in the face
of domestic violence

Kathleen Parker

ANDIE MCDOWELL did it to Bill Murray in Groundhog Day; Gwyneth Paltrow did it to Colin Firth in Shakespeare in Love; Heather Locklear does it to Michael J. Fox in Spin City.

They slapped them. And the men -- because they're "real men" -- turned the other cheek, while we, the audience, looked the other way. Or didn't even notice it.

So ingrained is the female slap in our cinematic psyche that we hardly blink, much less flinch, considering the slap more as a quirky female statement of disapproval than as an act of violence. Usually delivered with little to no provocation, the slap is even considered comical under certain circumstances.

On film, the man routinely accepts the slap without any significant response. His head swings back front and center -- ready for whatever comes next -- as though nothing happened. When Michael J. Fox gets his during a conversation in a Spin City episode, he doesn't even stop jabbering. Talk about funny.

But a woman slapping a man is no funnier than a man slapping a woman, even though we respond differently to each. In films, we despise the brute who slaps a woman. In life, we charge him with assault, throw him into jail, alienate him from his children, add another folder to the domestic violence files, pass Washington and collect $200 for another woman's shelter.

Why, in this era of heightened sensitivity toward domestic violence and sexual equality, are we still passing off the female slap as the innocuous, cutesy manifestation of the little lady in the throes of a spat?

Violence isn't cute or funny, and slapping is violence regardless of context. I don't want to rear boys in a world thattolerates female violence against men, nor do I want to rear girls to think that they can hit a man without consequence.

In fact, a woman who slaps a man in real life may well end up in the hospital. That's not to excuse the man who hits back -- or to imply that the woman deserves it -- but common sense suggests that striking someone may get you hurt.

To imply otherwise, through film, television or humorous anecdote, is what's known as bad information.

Murray Straus, co-director of the University of New Hampshire Family Research Laboratory, noted the prevalence of such bad information during a 1998 psychology symposium.

"Millions of young women have been told, 'If he gets fresh, slap him,' rather than, 'If he gets fresh, leave immediately,' " said Straus.

Straus has been at the center of controversy over "couple conflict" studies in which he found that women instigate violence as often as men, though women suffer more serious injury and, sometimes, death. The reason for the discrepancy between his research and others', he said, is that other studies focus on "crime" reports, most of which are filed by women.

Few men would call the police over a slap, and for good reason.

A 1960 study by the Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence found that slightly more than one in five American adults believe that it is permissible for a woman to slap her husband's face. Replicating the research in 1985, 1992 and 1995, Straus got the same results.

Our dubious approval of the female slap has been made possible largely by the repetition of cinematic and television images through the decades.

But it's a bad message for everyone, especially for the woman who thought she could get away with it and didn't.
As we all know though, the vast majority of men receive worse than a simple slap of the face in today's feminacentric films. As Angry Harry pointed out, a new 'sitcom' involved a man being kicked & beaten quite harshly and canned laughter filled the speakers of the Nation's televisions.
What is the world coming to when half the population can be battered and have it assumed to be humorous?

Hoping that AH doesn't mind - i've nabbed the relevent wmv file to show readers what we're talking about.

I'm glad you mentioned the IT Crowd. I sent an e mail to Channel 4 complaining about the violence passed off as comedy with the victim being a man (of course). During this scene a female violently assaults a man kicking him repeatedly whilst he was helpless on the floor (this is comedy?). My e-mail is as follows:

Dear Channel 4

I should like to compalin about last night's programme "The IT Crowd"

Who is it that things that a man being savagely betean by a woman is funny. I recommend that you watch this programme again and imagine if the gender roles were reversed and the female character was repeatedly beaten by the man. No-one should find this amusing so why is it that the writers of this show think it's funny that a man should be beaten in this way just for laughs? The show also made a joke of male rape in a prison. Again try this with the gender reversal as above.

This is shoddy, cheap and not funny. It is badly written and shows no original thought. Instead it repeats old politcally-correct stereotypes and picks on the only group that this kind of abuse can be meated out to, i.e. white, hetero sexual men. If you don't believe me try substituting the abused character and replace him with a member of an ethnic minority or perhaps a gay man or even a female and see if it's funny then. You should treat everyone with respect and not pick on groups simply because you can get away with it.

I suggest you tell Talk Back Productions that they should produce something worth watching. Ah yes Talk Back, the company who last year thought it was clever to depict men being trained as if you were training a dog (Bring Your Husband To Heel). I do not know why this company produce this kind of gabbage. Possibly it's because they have no-one with any talent on their writing staff.


It's only by complainig like this that you can have an effect. Most men may get alarmed by the way that we are routinely depicted/treated by the media but few do anything about it. I therefore urge you to write or e mail the company responsible when you see this type of thing. That way they may be more careful in future.
