The women deserve a change of attitude...
First off... Thank you for your response.
You may not believe this, but I agree with you 100%, I will be the one to admit that women indeed deserve a different treatment, and in saying that it is about time, long overdue.
I also will say this:
If women are to be treated as equals, then it must be in a way that they should be measured in the same standard, NO PRIVILEGES GIVEN any different than to men, in other words, EQUAL TREATMENT FOR ALL.
The reason of my response in the post you are responding to was made so on purpose... why ?
Because the post to which I responded pretended to set aside any "argumentative" post and ignore what the intent of the post is.
This comment:
Especially, I would not be interested in any ego driven displays of skillful argument that might be brought here.
....prompted my response.... Why..?
Because my INTENT was to put a realistic perspective as to the possibilities of the reasons why of the subject discussed, I do not mind listening to counter arguments if supported by facts, once again, to suggest that a "conspiracy" exists by the bashers is ridiculous, particularly based on the fact that to prove such is near impossible, unless you would have access to trading records etc.
Further, I personally in specific instances have criticized a couple of specific companies and its performances, only to be called a "shorter", and be treated as an "enemy".
Nobody has shown me any proof based on my trading confirmations, and just for the record, I have NEVER shorted the specific stocks that I have discussed.
Once again, I will be the first to give support to any woman who comes here (or any other place), and presents her argument based on reason and without hype, and quite frankly, I do not give a rat's arse if you believe me or not.
I will also say that the preferential treatment based exclusively on sex and/or race, is INSULTING AND DEMEANING to those receiving such treatment. I for one would like to be treated based EXCLUSIVELY on my abilities to perform a specific task, I do not feel that I need or deserve, preferential treatment based on either sex or race.
In specific I address the so called "affirmative action" policies.
All these policies are achieving is the patronizing of idiots. And in the interest of full disclosure, so you know where I am coming from, I am not as to what people would label "WASP", in fact you could "classify" me as a minority.
But guess what ? Thanks but no thanks, I need no steeeenking "classification". I am a human being no more no less, I do NOT need these "treatment", I can hold my own without any undue assistance.
It is much like "charity" or.....
"Nothing is more patent, indeed, than the fact that charity merely converts the unfit - who, in the course of nature, would soon die out and so cease to encumber the earth - into parasites - who live on indefinitely, a nuisance and a burden to their betters."
And so, in closing, go ahead and shelter your thread, I have absolute ZERO need to be contributing my .02 cents here, and I am sure you will not miss me, I do not gain a thing from it, given the line of responses I am getting.
The reason I bookmarked it is because I thought it would be interesting to hear what women had to say. I have my own specific reasons to hold such beliefs, and no, I am not going to share those beliefs in a public forum such as this.
Have a nice life.... thread bookmark deleted, just another room for the insane in the SI Institution, go enjoy it. sniff, sniff....
Handkerchief anyone?
