The Longest (And Most Annoying) Yard
Recently I was buying some shirts, socks, and various sundries at a retail store. Of course something like this is always a major disaster for a man because at some point, there’s a good chance you’re going to have to deal with a woman.
Maybe a woman will be sitting in an aisle of the parking lot, completely blocking traffic, while waiting for another woman to load six carts of crap and two poorly behaving children in her SUV. Maybe some female type will be asking you to registering to vote or sign some dumb fuck petition for something she’s trying to get laid for.
Or maybe she’ll just be the damn cashier. In this case, she was the damn cashier.
Something about women and money just doesn’t work. I don’t know how to fix it either. It’s pretty fucking obvious women can’t be taught how to handle money — at least not while vaginas are around. The obvious answer is to then make money somehow less appealing to women — to make women money-averse.
Perhaps we could introduce newly colored bills and call them ‘Low Calorie’ money. Same value, but less calories — and with pictures of Pamela Anderson and Eva Longoria making out on the front. I don’t know, but that seems like a pretty good place to start. What I do know is that would get women avoiding money like the plague. Naturally, old ‘Regular Calorie’ money would be phased out.
Or maybe we could all just start calling money ‘work’.
I was paying for part of my purchases with a gift card to said retail store. And since most purchases don’t add up to exactly 25 quid or 50 dollars or whatever you have, I assumed it wouldn’t be a big deal to split up the check.
Boy, was I fucking wrong!
When I posed this idea to the female cashier, she acted as though I had just asked her to sign a prenup — which I definitely would in this girl’s case, just like in every girl’s case.
It’s called an incentive. Women need incentives with every step that they take. They need a compliment to not eat another scone. They need a pat on the back to feed their fucking kids. They need a slap on the ass to do even a half-assed job. That’s why under no circumstances do you marry a woman without properly man-incentivizing her to not steal half of your fucking assets for completely no reason.
It just doesn’t make any sense.
End of the story? I paid for my entire purchase with a credit card. I’m not in the habit of wasting all my fucking time teaching cashiers and women how to subtract by 30.

The thing that shocked me the most was that you actually have a friend to get you the gift card.
Thanks. I was and am sincere — I do try and see things from both perspectives. I believe I see them correctly, though I won’t deny I have a matrix through which I view the world that can, like anyone’s, distort.
I’ve followed up my post in answer to a question you raised. I will say I’m dismayed at the initial reaction to my post as profoundly counter rational. (Some of the reaction to your posts here has been the same; not all). But all of the reaction to mine was non-rational.
Your comments there have caused me to partially reevaluate my impression of your purpose here. I still have serious concerns, but if you’re willing to acknowledge a couple of things I’m willing to talk seriously.
Thanks for the shout-out to my blog. You’re welcome there as a poster, and you and your comments will be honored as long as you don’t trash other posters.
Otherwise, yeah, both of us are wasting time.

By the way Wolfe-
Nice post on punkass. . .
I thought it balanced out the rest of your ideas nicely.
Why don’t you consider the gender generic aspect of fucking off the site?
You certainly did “out” me Wolfe. I was very excited to see that there are many different kinds of bloggers all over the internet, and that those on one particular website, called punkassblog.com were considering the gender aspect of the killings in my neighborhood, which I unfortunately have to deal with everyday at the hospital which I work at. I messaged the name of your website here, I hope that was not insulting to you, as well as my first post (in the context of talking about the killings at Lancaster). Also, I think it will not be surprising to you that over the past week my experience with this website was that there are many misogynistic men. I would think that this WOULD NOT surprise you given that I have flatly stated more than once that I think the blogs on this site belay a “hatred towards women.” I insist, all the same, that I find the conversations that I have here interesting and that I’ve gained something from them (e.g. consideration of men’s perspective on custody and divorce, looking closer at false allegations of rape which I had not reviewed the literature for before, etc.). I hope the individuals from that website find their way here and gain something as well.
Have a fabulous Sunday.
Regular readers of this site: I think this is a post worth reading, and it might be worth your while to click on the link at the bottom — the one in my apology to “Concerned”.
Well, this was a post directly responsive to things you and “Concerned Man” have been talking about, in a thread that you were reading, immediately below a post responding to something you’d said (which you did acknowledge reading).
I’m sure you’ve had enough posting experience to grasp the thought of reading posts that are in threads you are actively chatting in, especially ones that occur after your arrival, are in response to your views.
I will admit I am a suspicious man at times. I sometimes even assume the worst about some people’s motives. That is not, to be sure, terribly nice of me. I have to admit, I began to suspect you might be a denizen of some other site on the net, and here simply to troll via ostensibly pleasant but ultimately non-responsive and passive-aggressive postings.
Worse yet, I actually began to suspect you of having a rather sinister motive, that of perhaps painting yourself as a noble high-minded “Concerned” person, and every man here as a misogynist bent on committing violence just like, oh, let me pick an example entirely at random… say, a disgusting rampage killer of little girls.
Clearly I am a very unfair person, and I feel terrible for suspecting you of such a vile deed, and of espousing such a repulsive view.
I’m glad you’re not someone like that!

Flatulence, albeit muted. The entire body of your, loosely termed, written contribution to the site strikes as an ideomatic representation of a monumental outbreak of flatulence culminating in an accidental, but not really, maroon outcropping - ideologically speaking.
flatulence, huh?
Well, at least I am beyond disappointing you, sonyad.
I sort of enjoy these little talks together :>
Concerned, you needn’t concern yourself.
You are long beyond disappointing anyone here with your flatulence analogue discourse and string of inanities.
I was referring to panties, alias smrtpants.
which lewd remarks would that be?
I’ve the vague impression I’ve read Concerned’s dumbing, insanity inflicting mad elucubrations before, somewhere on this site, written under some alias or other.
Panties, you are being atrociously hateful and rude. I cordially invite you to join Concerned in vacating the virtual promises.
I find it hurtfully disappointing for you to regress to such inappropriately lewd and bitter remarks after your string of reasonable polite, intelligible and somewhat intelligent comments.
All semblance of common sense and decency, you’ve tossed in the wind.
Good bye.
Wolfe-
Maybe it would have been clearer for you if I said “we can continue BY discussing”… So sorry about the confusion for you there.
Also, I’m glad to hear the you are, in fact, relaxed. You sounded quite possibly irritated.
You can believe or not believe my assertion that that was the first time I read the comment you quoted from previous posts, and yet the fact remains that it is the first time. I was referring in my post to posts directly above mine discussing issues of shoe- shopping only. I’m relatively new to the medium, and I’m not sure how likely it is that everyone has read what can be up to 106 posts (!) in any given message board. If that is the expectation before commenting, I apologize for jumping in without having read every post.
I’m mostly surprised (and maybe disappointed) that you feel I’ve ignored your responses, since I’ve found them at times interesting and often I’ve felt that they made me think outside of “my box,” so to speak. If there is any particular “logical counter” that you think I’ve ignored, feel free to share.
I wonder what the alternative purpose you think I have for being on this site would be. Truly, if you believe that there is no way that I am gaining anything from your comments (and that I am here as a “committed believer”only), how much more so would I have to believe the opposite is true (that those on this site would not gain much from what I believe) on a site called “menarebetterthanwomen.com”
“…beneath the job…”
“…jaw dropping…”
Hmmm, I thought that was one of the oh-so-important ‘activities’ that you ‘dicks’ are always complaining you never get enough of…besides which at least that ‘activity’ shuts those young’ins up…
No, that was not a rant. Telling me to relax — when I am relaxed indeed is pointless, though an amusing debating tactic and psychological ploy on your part.
Then why did you say “We can continue to discuss the many reasons why those incomes are substantially lower than the median male income”. Words have meanings, both denotative and connotative.
I refer you to posts 70 and 71 in this thread,
I know you were reading that thread; perhaps it was naive of me to assume that when you said “continue to discuss” you meant “start to discuss, and that when you read and comment extensively in a thread you only read posts at random.
Either that or you’re being disingenuous. I don’t know what the reason is, but I see this as a repeated pattern of behavior on your part; you assert ridiculous things; people point out that they are ridiculous and/or offensive, you ignore most or all logical counters and re-assert the same things using slightly different language.
Well, it is possible this is the reason you are here. For me to believe that, I’d have to be able to square the behavior I note above with that reason. That’s not impossible; indeed, I very strongly suspect your academic training has lead you down a particularly unfortunate road common to most in what Jerry Pournelle once called the “Voodoo Sciences”.
As for “saved”, yes, I used that language deliberately as a play on the earlier references to religion. I did not make those references out of sarcasm; I see your style of discussion as exactly analogous to a that of a committed believer. You accept a series of truths on faith, and neither words nor logic seem to sway you.

Okay Wolfe — the only thing I have to say is that I have not been engaged in the conversation that you are ranting about. “The reasons why women are paid less in our society” is not a line of commenting that I’ve been following or involved in on your site. Breathe in deeply now, and relax. I’d be happy to look over all of your views on that topic, if it would make you feel better.
In addition, I’m not looking to be saved or to save anyone else, but thanks for your concern. I’m just interested in learning more about a viewpoint that is different from my own, and seeing to what degree I can relate. I think it is a valuable strategy when one finds themselves in the middle of a battle to step back and see what all the fighting is about from both sides.
We’ve discussed them in some detail, and you have proven utterly non-responsive. It’s clear that you don’t think rationally on these issues; facts and logic don’t impress you; you, like many women, believe in some mythical world that will ultimately work the way you think it should, rather than the real world we find ourselves in.
Your beliefs, fundamentally, are as peculiar and irrational as those of a young earth creationist. Given that you refuse to engage on a rational plane, it becomes impossible to prove or disprove anything.
Just as you ignore statistics about which career paths women choose — and which careers — as well as hours worked and lifestyle choices made, so too do you maintain — against all logic — the offensive fraud that most men are assaulters and harassers of women. And then you persist with cute (nothing sexist there; I’d use the same word to characterize a man who made the same arguments) little assertions about ’sugar-tits’ being a form of abuse comparable to any other form of abuse. Your wilful ignorance of what workplaces are really like for both genders is impressive.
The way you molest and pervert the language to achieve your ends leaves me impressed; you’ve been well trained in that art.
I can respect your right to hold those beliefs, and your free speech rights, just as I will respect those of the creationists, but I have no respect for you — or them — trying to impose those beliefs upon others in the public square or in our educational system.
There is a phrase that comes from Roman Catholic theology: “Invincible Ignorance”. Time and space are too short for me to discuss its origins, but suffice to say, you appear to suffer from invincible ignorance of a slightly different secular sort.
I see no point in repeating what’s been said to someone who appears to be entirely closed-minded on the matter.
I do respect gwallan’s willingness to continue to attempt to engage you, and I wish him (and you) well. Invincible ignorance is a tough nut to crack, and I doubt one such as you can be saved.

I can admit to having nearly that many at one point many years ago. Admittedly about fifteen of them would have been specialist sports numbers(and a lot of them freebies too courtesy of certain under-the-table arrangements. Aint amateur sports great!).
Women get into trouble for this too.

Try something lateral. Keep an eye on the advertising you see and note what retailers are marketing and to whom.
It’s estimated that women control about 80% of discretional spending.
Your incomes are lower than males because all you do in the work place is cause strife and kill productivity. All your work is done by whatever kissass is near enough to you to do all your work and give you the credit.
Females won’t be happy until they are paid “median male incomes” to sit on their ass all day at home taking care of their cats.
Or you can fuck off the site. Which is far preferable.
Is consumerism really only a problem for women? That is definitely not what I see when I walk into best buy and I see someone buying a flat screen tv (when they may already have several tv’s in their home) or spending ridiculous sums of money on cars that are not practical in terms of their gas mileage or any thing else really. Maybe you are making a value judgement between these things versus clothing (or shoes), but I don’t think it is only women who have gotten into the habit of spending their hard-earned money on material items that they do not need. (And I am sure that on this website someone will make a comment about the statement “their hard-earned money,” so let me mention that in the US a majority of women are employed and earn an income - see US Dept of Labor Stats. We can continue to discuss the many reasons why those incomes are substantially lower than the median male income).
Man Ive noticed the same damn thing, its sooo fucking nice to see Im not the only one… I was begining to think I just might have an attitude.
I do the same thing, I look for a man cashier, then I look for a line that has mostly men in it. Its always faster and less hassle that way… every time!
At my local Safeway store, there are 2 females who I swear fuck things up every fucking time. I will go to a long line just to avoid these stupid bitches. The few male cashiers that are there have NEVER ONCE fucked up, not that ive seen and I shop there everyday.
Chris, you aint kidding. Its nay impossible to have any conversation at all with bitches 25 or younger. Not only are they fucking dumb as boards, but they always assume your just talking to them to get down thier pants. So fucking egotistical its jaw dropping.
Yes, I try to hit the cashier who is male if I am in a rush. In most cases they get you in and out and can even make small talk while scanning the items - imagine that? when i am stuck with a woman i try t get the older ones, the ones over 50. for some reason they tend to bust it - maybe they remember a world where you could get your ass canned for being shitty at a job - even if you were a woman.
the one’s that are pathetic are the younger ones - anything 25 and below. holy christ! what fucking attitude. you even try to make conversation and they look at you with this vacant “cow-like” stare, because somehow they are beneath the job. you know, with their grade 10 education.
Sadly corpsman’s effectively right (Navy man?). Granted it may only *seem* like 100, but even 20 seems like a hundred to a man with 3 or 4.
The very fact you’re sorry at only 20, Frouke, is suggestive.
Best,
-wolfe.
100+ pairs of shoes! Is your ex gf Imelda Marcus? I can assure you that the average woman does not have that many, in fact, I shall quickly check my stockpile….and just as I thought. I only have 20 pairs *sniff* woe is me.
Give women the money and I will show you a society in ruins.
-Strength and Honor-
You forgot to mention something very important. Despite having enough clothes and shoes to fill the costume department for the cast of a ‘lifetime movie’, they still come to you frowning/pouting and saying “Woe is me, I have absolutely nothing to wear!”
This is why: women + credit card = disaster
Women have a serious problem with materialism e.g. 100+ pairs of shoes and a couple dozen outfits that will never be worn. I have exactly 4 pairs of shoes that I wear frequently: Running shoes, steel toe work boots, and two other pairs of skate shoes all of which I have made last over 2 years. That’s it, and that’s all! Only what I need to SURVIVE. Most of the clothes I’ll never wear because they don’t fit I give to my room mate. My moms gives old clothes to the Salvation Army.
My fatty ex gf spent $795 on a PERSE! Oh, sorry. I forgot to mention that it’s a Burburry or whatever the fuck, imported from France. It has no secret pockets. It doesn’t have a computer in it or a tv either. The buttons aren’t made of platinum but for some reason the price is $795! For me that represents a two week paycheck made from sweat and elbow grease! If my wife spent my entire paycheck on a flimsy perse that isn’t even equiped with a flat screen tv or a palm pilot that bitch would be out on the street so she could be educated in the finer points of poverty. People are starving the fuck out while this lazy fat hooker is living in extravengence. “Let them eat cake!” Is what she’d say! No wonder they beheaded that cunt.
Right on again Dick something about women and money just don’t go together. My wife studied accounting in high school. Years later when we were broke she would talk about buying things. I would remind her our checking account is empty and we are flat broke. Her reply was “we can just right a check then.” This is when I first realized something in her brain didn’t compute. I said are you certain that the good bank fairy will show up to deposit money in our account before the check reaches the bank? I was kidding, but she looked at me serious and said “yeah something like that.” It took years to teach her to to be somewhat thrifty. But she still has her 100 pairs of shoes and my closet runneth over. These came mostly from thrift shops.
I still have to remind her to eat first before going to buy groceries or she will buy every junk food in the store.
Another fun example was when we were broke and I told her I was going in this bargain store to buy a $2. tool for a home project and that we had no money at all, so don’t think about buying anything in the store. I went and picked up the item and as soon as I got to the check out she was behind me and her arms were full of junk she could barely hold all she had in her arms. I laughed and said “I told you we don’t have the money for anything right now. Like a child she stomped to the nearest rack, dropped everything and then stomped her way to the car and pouted like a 5 year old. I was in shock that a grown woman could behave like this. She pouted and wouldn’t speak for at least an hour.
Impartially speaking, I hire women for mindless drone busy work.
If I have something important to be done, I will hire a man.
It isn’t because I am bitter, hate women or any of that. Its 40+ years of experience and knowing that women can’t take criticism without crying or filing charges against you. You have to walk on eggshells around them and every day is something else, a birthday, funeral, kids piano recital on and on and on.
My assistant spends 1/2 of her time on a cell-phone. She thinks I’m oblivious to all the ways she wastes time and I could bust her big time but she’s just there for to answer phones, take notes and general help around the office, in other words, something a retarded autistic man could do.
The thing I like about this site the most is the deep insight into real world issues. I’m sure them feminazis never realised how much they have reduced whatever little worth women have. That is why women generally dont get the same salary as a man! Their productivity has been drastically reduced by the fivolous sexual harassment lawsuits brought about by overly burdensome sexual harassment laws that were championed by the feminazis.
Why is that anytime a man is in front of me in line there are never any problems. Alot of times when a woman is, there is always some kind of catastrophy that requires the light to blink and managers to come, wasting my valuable man minutes that could be spent building or fixing something.
I wonder if a pat on each cheek would make them do a full-assed job. Guess we’ll never know, thanks to sexual harassment regulations. It might explain why many see women’s work as having declined in quality since the 1960’s.

I here you Mr. T. I always look for a male cashier first as I know he will ring me up and get me out quickly and properly. They are far and few as men get promoted faster in grocery stores. Fuckin women can’t even scan items right without some sort of issue, men have to do everything if we want it to get done right. If I get a female cashier I don’t even look at her in the face nor do I respond to her, what’s the point. I just check out her rack.
Reminds me of yesterday afternoon, I was at a grocery store. I picked up a book and a 6-pack of soda, and picked the shortest line there was, becuase I had only thirty minutes. There was one person in front of me, so I thougt this shouldn’t take more than a couple minutes.
Boy, was I fucking wrong.
I got everything I needed within 6 minutes, because unlike women, I can focus and get the job done. However, the women working at the register took 15 minutes to check out the people n front of me. Thats right. 15 minutes for 10 items. She had to call in a manager to override the cash register because she undoubtley screwed it up, and that took two mnutes total. So where did the other 13 minutes go?
Wimmin…
