Men -vs- Women

[Cheery Cherry]

I guess I have seen this before but today, I saw it and it made me think a bit. Generally speaking, I noticed that men seem to get things (reactions, materials, services, etc.) from other people effortlessly and women have to put more work into our approaches, demands, etc. Do you see this or is it just me? I went to see my new doctor today and I was trying to get him to write a note for me so I can return to work. The doctor gave me so many reasons why he wasn't going to. My boyfriend went in and said exactly what I said and the doctor wrote the note, without an arguement.

Even at a fabric store we went to, people just responded to him a lot quicker than they did me. I thought it was really interesting...so like I said...do you see this? Do men get more of what they ask for than women?

I was looking for a job a few years back, and went into a women's clothing store to fill out an application, and they told me only women can work there.

[EmoRebellion]

Really? I find it to be the oposite.. Tits mean the world when you need something done..

Honestly, and I'm not saying this to be argumentative, but I've noticed exactly the opposite. Especially if the woman is really good looking, men will allow themselves to be taken advantage of time and time again, just because it's in our genetic programming to be so god damn attracted to women.

Women rule the men who rule the world.

[friendowl]

for me its the opposite

like when the cops pull me over and i get a 666.00 dollar j-walking ticket
and my girl drives like 80 mph near the kids school gets pulled over
and the pig says "slow it down" not even a ticket or nothing

we get a flat tire on a mountain road at night
im waving down traffic to see if they got a jack
no one stops for shit
my girl gets out of the car and like 3 trucks pull over

you ladies are spoiled
your so lucky you got cleavage

[Frivolous248]

Wow, really? I find that chicks get more attention. Mostly if they're hot though, everyone likes to be nice to hot people. Not saying you aren't hot though, I wouldn't know.

Maybe he got more attention in the fabric store cause the guys were gay, or if it was girls maybe they found him attractive?

[CityBoyGoneCountry]

Maybe he got more attention in the fabric store cause the guys were gay

lmao

If they are guys working in a fabric store, that's not such a stretch.

[napolitana869]

we get more attention, but when it comes to something important guys are treated better.

[TokinAsianGuy]

I think it's the opposite, but dare i say that you may or may not have been a victim of racism... i dunno. everyone generally treats me equally, but i know for a fact that there are things i'll have to work harder for because of my nationality.

Guys work their asses off their entire lives for one single common purpose: to make enough money to be able to get a woman, keep her, and have a family. They don't ask that their wives or girlfriends be wealthy. If they are, that's a bonus, but it's not required for a man to still want her. Men spend a great portion of their income to satisfy their wives or girlfriends, and in many cases, they continue to spend a great portion of their income after the relationship has ended.

That's important. That's real fuckin important.

IT DEPENDS ON THE SITUATION. but historically, we women were born to suffer..tsk tsk tsk

[CityBoyGoneCountry]

Historically, every race, creed, color, religion, and gender has suffered. It just doesn't all happen in the same place at the same time.

But whatever happened in the past was not done by me, and it was not suffered by you. There's nothing that can be done to change the past, and it's a waste of time to dwell on it. All we can, and should, be doing is looking at the world the way it is today and the direction it is moving into the future.

[BabyFacedAbortion]

All I can say is ..we live thru many years of cramps, labor and other bodily pain, we might as well have to live thru a bit of emotional frustration

Exactly!! I get plenty of "attention"...but it's not something I asked for. Not to say I don't take advantage of it sometimes :p

Could be...but with the doctor, I don't think that was the case.

It's better to be looked over than overlooked.

[cuziwashigh420]

I think it depneds on the person.

[delusionsofNORMALity]

i am the single, white male (and i'm middle-aged at that):

i'm neither rich nor poor, so i can't afford an attorney and i can't get free legal aid. there is no 12-step program for me, even though i spend my entire life in a state of zen rage. there is no government agency to look after my welfare, even though i'm considered a borderline sociopath. i'm easily denigrated, make all the jokes you want to at my expense and no one will care. my hair is long, so the conservatives hate me. my beard is grey, so i'm considered anachronistic. on and on, etc. etc. etc...

and to cap it all off

you know what?

i like it like that !!!

[halo]

I think i understand what youre saying. That although women get more attention they aren't respected as much as men when it comes to important things. And thats true. Traditionally men have handled the important matters in life. Its just a stereotype that men are better at handling certain situations. Or maybe its a visual thing. Are you short for example? Im not trying to be mean at all im just saying that maybe men are respected more because they are taller and therefore seem tougher and more able to do things. Although thats not saying thats true at all.

[birdgirl73]

Sounds to me like that was a sexist doctor who didn't respect a female patient's request and clearly has two different standards for responding to patients of each gender.

I hope you're looking for another physician. I would be! And I'd make sure and tell his office to tell him why I was tranferring my care, too, when I requested they forward my records to a new doc. Actually, me being me, I'd put that in writing so he'd have it for his files.

[RichieRich]

hey cherry...sorry about the lame doctor....sending you my best thoughts and wishes!!! there is and probably always will be some form of discrimination out there.... we just have to do our part and make our little "circle of influence" better.....

[fasterspider]

I think if anyone wanted something bad enough and puts an effort to getting it, they will get it. But if one goes in unsure or intimidated, chances are they are only gonna get burnt.
So you went in there like a lamb and got no where but your man went in there like a man and got what he wanted.
My mother is 5'10" tall and not a small woman by any means and she has never had a problem getting what she wanted or putting her point across.
My wife on the other hand is only about 5'1" tall but, she gets what she wants and puts her point across also because she knows how to after all her years.
Just be sure of yourself and don't be intimidated and you will most likely not be overlooked.
And as sad as it is going to sound to you, it also helps to have big tits or a big ass or both and a bigger, meaner, louder mouth to match.

[surreys princess]

i know what you are talking about cherry..i have seen it, over and over..but there is also the same "advantage" for a woman....maybe it is more situational than anything...i dont even know if i am making sense...damn

princess

[Cheery Cherry]

I am going to change my doctor because he made me feel uncomfortable. I guess at the time I went in to see the doctor, I wasn't as assertive but I wasn't feeling like myself (which is the reason why I was there to begin with) but I was being persistent. I just thought it was a little messed up.
