Simple Question. Normally I would post this in OT - but I'm sure some PC people would get a little touched.
It never ceases to amaze me the kind of crap I see daily as some women go out of their way to try to find public approval for their actions. Oh, you worked OH so hard looking after your child and making sure he doesn't stick forks into electrical outlets. You worked SOOOO Hard! Like, WAAAAY harder than your husband that woke up at 5 am to get professionally dressed, commuted to work and gets home at 7 pm
There is an obvious appeal to try to get approval from people, hence things such as posting _EVERY_ single action on Facebook and hoping for approval likes and comments. It's downright pathetic and sad. I really feel for the poor guys that have to deal with these types. Normally I don't try to make a gender issue out of this, but after looking around for quite some time I finally realized that I couldn't find a single male that posted this kind of junk. Things like this show the CLEAR mental instability that is present in people (particularly millennials) where they falsely tell each other every day how hard they worked.
But anyhow, let's go through a few examples, shall we?
Oh Woe is me! I'm always working SO hard. What with feeding my child and watching stupid shows on TV, how will I ever have time to do something like post on Facebook every 15 minutes and reply to all your comments? I have JUST enough time to do that!
Ever wonder why all TV during the working day-time is complete crap? Hint: Target audience.
OH BOY! I worked SOOOO hard this week at work that my boss gave me this ULTRA COOL EXCLUSIVE $10 gift card to a shitty fast food place. Everyone look at me, I got a $10 gift card! Only the most elite people get this! It's definitely not a cheap gift to give a peon employee the false mental image that you are working hard to continue doing so. Nope nope nope...
How about asking for a fat bonus for year end profits? Ohhhh, you aren't quite up to that status yet? Oh ok.
Moved from P&N because... well... it's neither politics nor news.
