There are a number of places where women do not belong, or collectively lower the standards. Of competence, efficiency, and/or safety. The best example I can think of is an oil rig. Women do not belong there. Isn't it just so convenient that they don't really want to work there?
But there are plenty of men's spaces where women do want to be. They are never as dangerous or as dirty as an oil rig. But women view them as somehow beneficial for themselves.
I really don't care how women dress. But to pretend that they do not dress intentionally provocatively in certain spaces is ridiculous. It is a game for them. It works like this: If a man approaches a woman, and she finds him attractive, well, then she is pleased that her provocative outfit did the trick. If another man approaches her, and she finds him unattractive, then regardless of what she is wearing, he is creepy and he makes her uncomfortable. And she will noisily call out his misadventure and mal-intent.
This is why women are so mad at Shane Gillis for joking that they dress like whores in the gym. He called out the game. Men, it seems, are supposed to just keep quiet about it. To call it out is sexist, or worse. To joke about it is tantamount to sexual assault. Are we really supposed to take these women seriously? They have belittled and beclowned themselves.
But the game goes well beyond outfits. This is the general attitude that women possess towards men today. Men can be forgiven for tiring of it. Some blame feminism; I personally have no idea where this came from. But I do not believe it predates the Second World War. There was a time when the sexes treated each other better. There was a respect and etiquette to the relationship dance. This seems to have eroded since mid-century. Today, like etiquette more generally, it seems lost.
I would never want to tell women how to behave. They can do whatever they want. But surely men should be able to escape it; at least sometimes. In order to stop the nonsense, let's bring back some mens-only spaces.
Someone should open a men-only gym or even a chain of men-only gyms. Not all gyms, but men should have the option of not participating in the female games.
Women reporters on NFL game sidelines and in men's lockers rooms. They have nothing to add; they just want to be there. And that alone is not a good enough reason for them to be there. No, it is not.
Women in the boardrooms and C-Suites. I realize this is debatable, but consider their collective record.
Women do not need to be members of all men's athletic clubs. Why can't Augusta National remain a men-only club?
Should women really be police officers? Regardless of the answer, the question should probably be discussed. Here I mean, cops on the street. I see no problem if a woman wants to join the FBI.
Taxi drivers, long haul truckers, airline pilots, fine, women can do all of that. But do women belong on trading floors? I tend to doubt it.
Why do the boy scouts need girls? Do the girl scouts need boys? The idea is ridiculous.
Finally, if you view this piece as sexist, that is not my intention. But if you find it so, I am okay with that as well. Like racist, antisemitic, homophobic, etc., I could not care less what you call me. Why not just go find something, anything, you are good at? And leave the rest of us, both men and women, in peace.
