Well, we disagree again. I’ve had 2 adult job/careers. One in the military, one in computers. Both have significant female populations. Women are better IMO than men in several areas. In military, women were better than men in back end communications/critical rapid decision making. In computers, they’re better front line management and PMO. And if you can find a female coder, guaranteed she’s gold. Never misses dates, never makes mistakes, solid team player, doesn’t sit around drinking old crow and bitching about men all night.
Hahaha!
Opinions again!
We spoke about that last week.
I've been doing this since 1987. Since I was 21.
I've formed my opinions based on 32.5 years of experience.
I'm entitled to my Old Crow.
You like working with females?
Good for you.
The ones I have worked with have mostly sucked.
And 90% of them have been dog-butt ugly too.

I’ve always believed that most women have a sixth sense when it comes to suspecting their SOs are cheating. Especially when there’s no intimacy anymore. The woman doesn’t need to be a genius to figure out that if he’s not having sex with me, then he’s getting it elsewhere. The real issue is how they react to this realization. I suspect many just stay in some sort of quasi-denial, just so they don’t need to confront it. But yeah, rubbing it in her face or having her find out in person will often reverse her passive acceptance of your actions. So at least always be discreet and don’t let her feel unattended
Well, I identified it as opinions. You on the other hand published a rant copied from a recent Infowars. Not exactly factual, mostly delusional. Sorry dude, women aren't leaving the work force
Hah. Typo. You said factual. You meant fictional. There isn’t a fact in a mile of what you posted. Just misogynistic women bashing. Seems like someone has had a powerful woman block his career.......

"And if you can find a female coder, guaranteed she’s gold. Never misses dates, never makes mistakes ..." -- @Srhsrh
Now, who was it again that said something fictional???
Honestly I have never had anyone "block my career", other than myself.
I am honest enough about my issues to know I could have gone much farther had I done things differently.
But I really don't care about that. I make enough and have enough to see 3 to 4 girls a week, so I am doing OK.
I have enough of a reputation in the industry that I can probably find work until I die (whoop de do!).
But I am also starting to get very tired of it. Sick of it almost. I basically work for hooker and booze money now. My only motivation.
I believe in traditional male/female roles. Always have, always will. If you want to call me a misogynist or a woman basher because of my traditionalist beliefs,
that is your prerogative. Sticks and stones...
Okay, I am calling BS here.
First, when you said you were in the military (based on prior posts, mid-70s to mid-80s), women were NOT in command positions. Back then, they were almost entirely in support positions (and still mostly are). So not sure how you can say they are better then men in "critical rapid decision making". My own experience with women (close to 4 decades in the workplace) is that they will TALK an issue to death and avoid making snap decisions. And that is how they mostly win an argument: they just wear the men down. Women also coddle people and avoid enforcing standards, which is why they often make poor leaders. I lost track of the number of times I've seen women excuse bad behavior on someone's part that a man would never tolerate. Now I've seen spineless men in management too, but I would generally lump them in the same category as women in terms of effectiveness. One thing that women managers are good at is conflict resolution, but usually only after they let the conflict fester by ignoring it for way too long. Really not sure what you mean by "back end communications" ( a nebulous term if I ever heard one), but if you are referring to gossip, then yeah, women excel at that. Which is why you should always be extra nice to secretaries.
Second, as far as female coders being "GOLD" (ROTFLMAO). They're not. Which is why many women avoid that profession like the plague. The really top-notch programmers are guys who will work a problem for days on end, often forgoing sleep (by dropping speed) and showers. Women will not do that. If any do exist, then they are the exception that prove the rule. Intelligence wise, women tend to be clustered in the middle of the bell curve, which is why you'll rarely find a woman who is flat out stupider than a stupid guy. But it also means that they will rarely be as competent as upper 20% of men in any given profession.
Women also use sex to get their way. Sometimes it is overt; sometimes it is subtle. That is something men can't do. Women also have an "out" in that they can get married and let the man take care of them. Or use kids as an excuse for this and that. In the military, they are infamous for getting pregnant to opt out of long deployments. Again, these are not options that men generally have.
The only places I see women with the attributes you are describing is in the Media (TV, movies, books) where (since 2000 or so) they are always portrayed as far MORE competent then the bumbling men around them (usually White men). But anyone who has spend time in the real-world knows what BS that really is.
And, yes, I realize your disclaimer is that its all just opinion. But come on dude. It's really hard for me to believe that we inhabit the same universe and see things that differently. Unless one of us is more concerned with virtue signaling than being honest.

Ima say this, in your case I understand. I also get it when a Woman is in her early 60's but before that age nah I can't agree she should just not care about her other half.
At this point much cheaper to keep her. Also sex isn't everything. But it is very important. For sexually active Women as well.
Idk I guess it's how I grew up. But I can't tolerate disrespect from no one.

Kridenyc is right. First off just to be clear, my military time was 1970s and 1980s, not the 1870s and 80s. As some of the opinions here about women in the workforce seem to apply more to the 19th century, I thought I'd say that.
Women did exactly the roles I described, communication, interpretation of high level orders, deciding when to wake a higher level officer up, and when not. There were always issues with backwards thinking guys unable to take orders from women, but I thought they were overall better, and I preferred working with several.
As to coders, I stand by what I said. We don't have many in my company, about 20 out of 250 heads down coders. But they are amongst the best. Yes guys don't sleep on a deadline for the last 2 weeks, but thats because they procrastinate.
It's just my opinions, just countering Slim's opinions. Nobody threw out statistical facts here. I just find it interesting that so many guys here hate women. I don't. Women and pussy are pretty much my favorite thing in the world.
