Senior Don Juan
In a music ensemble we talked about a cooperation issue, and one of the female musicians responded by blurting out how hard her studies are (we all have the same) and started crying. I’d say she played the victim card and tried to manipulate using tears.
It worked. I instantly folded, started pampering.
The right response would be “You cannot behave like this. You will have to go into another room and calm yourself.” However, I also instantly/subconsciously knew that I cannot say that, I would be sent to the head principal, sent to a “equality/gender course”, etc.
In another ensemble that I’m running another female musician flaked for a rehearsal and in the chat afterwards wrote something I would interpret as some kind of **** test/baiting/drama. It’s essentially a work place, and I haven’t done any moves. I solved this by casually and friendly talking with her, and seems rapport was established after that.
I buy metoo and glass ceiling and all, but it’s also a concern that the pendulum swings to the other extreme. We need some kind of moderation.
A deconstructed/biological perspective on men is widely accepted (“These horrible, horrible men are horny all the time due to testosterone.”), but I lack the same perspective on women. I read there was research showing most violence occurs in lesbian relationships, the least in homosexual, heterosexual in the middle. I don’t remember where I read it, but they hypothesised that men have calming effects on women. (Much can be questioned about statistical robustness/causality/theory though.) I was told women are over-represented in emotional instability and bi-polar disorder, and I’m concerned with this and how our work environments will be with women bringing things like **** tests into the work environments. A red pilled awareness is needed to avoid these kind of problems.
It would be great with a Rational Male 5 (haven’t read RM4), this time about leadership/management. Maybe @Rollo Tomassi is up for the challenge. Perhaps would be fun to research.
Any comments or similar experiences?
