Banksy rework I did for Neda - hey HuffPo beatch - wanna ask yourself the primary reasons for her selection by the death squads in Iran?
Hey why not? Everyone else does. But seriously it's getting that way. Not all women. Just particular ones over here in what we term "the West" with either a platform or some degree of power. I'm sick to death of the endless discussions around women where actually? Reality doesn't really count for shit. Say, women who hate on women for the hell of it -ooh a feminist, lance her! and no doubt preferably with a big fat ****) -, men who hate on women with an opinion that doesn't gel with ass kissing their every move, and above all right now two kinds of women...the kind that hasn't shown a blind bit of interest in what is going on around the globe while masquerading as academic political feminists.
And women bosses.
This article is the most stuck up
piece of bullshit I have read in a long while. What the fuck does she know? Years of morality police brutality, fines, a lot of which are handed out by conservative religious women who like ass kissing da man. But hey no we mustn't let this current situation and long overdue highlight, focus on the veil or beauty, oh no ...even if that particular religion
has a pathological hatred of beauty. And my guess is that Neda, who was picked off a week ago today, died because she was a) a woman b) beautiful and c) wearing a baseball cap over her black shroud with jeans.
Women like the HuffyPo beatch have flat out IGNORED them all these years. And now, all of a sudden, it's a focal point into which to introduce complex liberal opinion about freedoms alongside commentary on their motivations while projecting onto their cares. And for a priceless example of how we over here conversely indulge in a pathological debasement and trivialisation of beauty, have a read of the disgusting rape fantasy tweets under the feminist's article seeded out to no doubt some sad male dweeb who would enjoy that kind of thing. In our wonderful, wonderful modern world never let an opportunity to slip some dick into an issue, pass on by.
Back over here in reality, there's my sister and her story, in an overnight email. It acted as the fire under the embers for this post, shall we say.
A women who was raised with a level of decency, manners, consideration and enthusiasm for everything in life including the ability to stand on her own two feet and make a real go of things. She's carved herself out a reasonable career in America - but guess who and what stands in the way of not just any career progression but between her and some honest to God dignity? That woman boss of hers. That mendacious bitch has once again spent an entire afternoon attempting to pointlessly humiliate her. The fact that she won't stand for it propels the woman on to an ever higher obsession with, I guess, a potential threat to her throne and a flat out refusal to kiss her butt. Though if she took her head out of that tight skinny LA arse for one second, she would realise my sister is an excellent team player worth rewarding rather than any screwy rottweiler with lipstick. The fact that she is so highly regarded is what has her boss's wet nose so wacked out of joint.
My conclusion, since women are apparently a group and not individuals? In distinction to men who were always afforded standard legal rights as a group, and fought for them!.. while being 'allowed' to have diverse individual opinions of course. My conclusions is that women are honest to God vile, nasty pieces of shit when it comes to 'seizing on' other women they view as a threat in ANY capacity. They never, ever cut each other any slack over whatever and any issue that bubbles to the surface in life. I've watched my sister soldier through enough crap, with her head held high, knowing full well that this boss of hers persistent bullying crap scratches away at her needlessly and stems entirely from jealous surly single minded bitchyness. Though that fucked up woman will just as soon bat her eyelids and play the dumb female to the nearest Big Swinging Dick she reports to. If I was my sister I'd slap the woman in the chops, tell her to fuck off and get another job. A better one. One that doesn't involve working for a woman. Having gone through this exact same woman-boss-shit myself, I've made that break and it was the best move I ever made.
Women with some degree of power are exceptional when they drop the bitchy crap and roll their sleeves up, either as focused righteous leaders with no gender agenda, or humble sincere challengers to honest to God injustice. But as a rule of thumb and right now? Women who a) have it made over here and b) find themselves in positions of unique power - are flat out mean spirited, trivial, pedantic dickheads.
Gotta to agree here. I worked for a woman once and it was awful. She was real catty. It's the women of Iran who are showing the real guts right now.

That's right, Charles. The women in Iran, that as Alison says...
"roll their sleeves up, either as focused righteous leaders with no gender agenda, or humble sincere challengers to honest to God injustice"
I've know a few such women who get things done in my life and it was a pleasure working with them.

Women bosses - gaaah
I did have a man boss who used to throw things when mad. So i'd throw things back at him. It was like a small revolution when I did that. He surrounded himself mainly with simpering dweeb women in the office so he could rule over them with an iron fist and bark to get things done. My thoughts on arrival were essentially - f*** that. It was a rugby ball. It went straight through the window of his office. Hahahaha :D After that I became office moderator for when Peter was in one of his moods. God do men have an equivalent of PMS. Little known fact!
I'm glad Luther :)

Competent women who've worked under me have been prized jewels and well promoted. I have ridden the gossipy, lazy bitches into hot tears and emotional quitting. Having a solid women in your corner is one of the most wonderful things any human being can ever experience, especially as a boss. A core group of competent, normal females backing your ass up is a fearsome sight to behold, nobody fucks with ladies in full command.
But, having said all of that, working for most women was not good. Most female bosses are full blown twats.
