Is the idea that women spend an absurd amount of money to look hot at work similar to the idea that womens bodies are sexual in the first place? I think women sexualize themselves for the most part. Obviously there are some conservative women, and some full on prostitutes with day jobs, so sure all types exist. But in general I think women use their sexuality too much at work.

I think this is fear mongering. Last summer my father was saying it was too hot to function and we should put off the interior house project we had planned.

It was 108.

As he said this, we were at a stop light next to a Speedy Oil Change facility. Shop doors rolled open, guys in long pants, thick shirts, changing oil and rotating tires.

People that don't work physically underestimate what the human body can do.

I'm tired of all your confused points. Nowhere did I say I have trouble at work but not on the street. Nowhere did anyone say anything about women in general not working at OPs company. It was clear this was an attractive woman by these guys standards, not some average woman.

I behave perfectly normally. But this isn't a thread about me, it's about the employees at OPs company. The management team must have known that with the amount of men they have hired, atleast a few might be prone to getting weak for women. So they took action.

I also dont steal. But I know thieves exist.

We are on a tech forum, talking on a thread where a tech company decided not to hire a hot woman because they cause distractions and problems.

So, I mentioned that even Bill Gates, basically the most popular tech person in the world, married his coworker, and then cheated on her because he couldn't control himself. Aka, even elite tech people with everything to lose, can't turn down a pretty young girl. Thus, I understand why OPs company did what they did.

You can keep talking in circles about what you think the world should be like. I'm talking about what it's actually like.

You seem to have trouble with words or basic logic.

Almost every post on this thread here talks about many women making choices to sexualize the workplace. I did not say I have a problem with people with breasts. I have a problem with someone accenting their breasts, and showing the top portion of them, at work. This isn't a gender issue, it's an actions issue.

2) I do think women have agency. You're the one acting like they are soulless blobs that can't make proper decision on how to look in the work place. And I have zero problems with women, but there are all types in a company and you shouldn't ignore that.

For example, I don't steal. But I wouldn't leave a laptop on the passenger seat of a parked car. This has nothing to do with my own personal actions.

We definitely are humans with agency. I use mine to mostly avoid women at work.

Women use theirs to accent colors in their hair, brighten their lips, make their smell travels several feet around them, color their nails, and wear tight clothing that accents their body.

Yes I do believe women would find it very distracting if mens penises were outlined closely at work. Mostly for negative reasons, because women find most average men unattractive in general.

Yes I think it would give attractive men with large penises a competitive advantage.

I Block Ads 3 years ago

I took your text and asked chatgpt to turn it into a fun poem:

I surf the web with playful glee, Blocking ads, just watch and see! In my browser, they won't appear, DNS blocked, they shed a tear.

Beacons and pings, they can't track me, URLs confused, they cannot be. Analytics and logs, no data they'll find, Programmatic pleas, they're left behind.

Campaign tags, I strip them bare, UTM queries, I won't share. Unshorten URLs, a clever trick, Tracking hacks, they're in a fix.

Autoplay videos, I make them stop, No more interruptions, no more flop. Cookies, beware! I block you all, Only the necessary ones may crawl.

Visibility API, you can't spy, No prompts to install, no need to try. Hidden pixels, stay out of sight, My email's safe, try as you might.

Unsubscribe, I'll show you the door, No more emails, I'll take no more. Block your address, a final resort, No more junk in my digital fort.

SMS ads, they come my way, But I block and report, come what may. Phone calls, ignored if not my friend, Only contacts, let the ringing send.

Data brokers, they won't win, I pay a company to wrangle them in. Junk mail, it's a thing of the past, Straight into the bin, it's gone at last.

So join me, my dear friend so true, Block those ads, they're not for you! Let's surf the web with joyful cheer, No ads, no tracking, have no fear!

I'm not sure how padded pushup bras, glossy lips, and tight fitting clothes became "largely expected". I don't think any father or husband pushes the women in their lives to do this, so I have to assume it's done by women for their own reasons.

I like to think of women as intelligent people so I assume they are aware of what they are doing.

I guess OPs company just didn't want their employees to have to act like they they arent attracted to someone 2000 hours a year when they are. Similar to how most tech company employees have trouble acting decent to a coworker wearing a trump hat at work. Ideally we could all be neutral cyborgs at work, but we just aren't.

Definitely they are capable. Proof is obviously the fact that the world goes on and pretty girls have successful careers and jobs. But it's not without its risks. Even Bill Gates can't keep his hands off employees or young girls he met through Epstein (the Russian bridge player that came out a few days ago)

1) no one is perfect. That's why there are locks on executive doors and drawers, even though companies 'trust' their employees.

2) even men acting 'decent' can be a problem. What if the men are so decent, so often, that it makes the woman uncomfortable. I help my male coworkers once in a while. A beautiful young girl I might help much more often. Multiply that by every male employee and this woman will be drowning in 'decent' attention.

The old 1989 Dos game called Vette let you drive around San Francisco in 3D. To a young kid living in San Francisco with a 286, this was perfection.

I've been looking for a game that lets me drive around real towns ever since.
