I've seen the top video before, and it's funny how many idiots are scrambling to find excuses on why a a woman doing the same task calmly and carefully is "not the same" as a manly man on an oil rig who looked like he climbed out of an uruk Hai birthing pool.

I feel like in that first video it's probably not really good that he's literally slipping in the mud, but then again I don't work on an oil field so I dunno how often you're expected to be shirtless and slathered in the stuff

Lol, I do blue collar work, albeit on airplane poo poo, but it takes a lot of physical strength. I'm 166cm/5'5'' and half my coworkers are women. Many are huge dudes too. There's no task where my manlet rear end or any woman does worse than the big guys except "reach the files at the top office shelf."


Worst employee by far is a big, fairly in shape dude. Well :smug: same shape as everyone here, pretty fit, but he biiiiiiig

Lots of buff dudes get hired and quit when a woman team leader screams at them over and over for disregarding safety tho

Look the extremely straight men in the comments all just happen to prefer the video of two buff shirtless guys rolling around in the mud and quite frankly it's rude of you to question their motivations.

I used to work in construction and most of our team was small wiry dudes. We occasionally worked with this one genuine beefcake and he was a pretty nice guy but his massive strength didn’t make that much of a difference. Tools largely level the playing field and if we ever needed to carry something really heavy (like a steel beam) we’d just get more guys on the task. Not that that sort of thing happens often anyway. Generally what mattered more was stamina. We don’t need someone who can lift a really heavy rock, we need someone who can run a wheelbarrow full of debris back and forth 70 times

I'm not really sure why "trans people can't do construction," even if it were based in any sort of reality, would be an argument against the concept of trans people. Are the wokes going to put the whole workforce on HRT?

They try to frame being trans as some lazy privilege that burdens and obligates everyone else. "A trans man could never do this job", therfore other people have to do it for them. But if there was some Atlas Shrugged scenario they assume the problem would work itself out.

It's the same chuds that are offended that gay or trans people would exist in The Last of Us. People would be too busy surviving to be fussing about their 37 genders according to these knuckleheads. To them the Transgender Agenda sprung fully formed out of the forehead of Woke Zeus and only exists because society has gotten so decadent and lazy.

Tbh., if you manage to read Mein Kampf front to the center, that's an achievement. It is incoherent drivel and the prose is garbage. It's even worse if you read it in German. It makes the fact that millions of households proudly displayed it in their bookshelf even crazier. How do you subscribe to an ideology when its influential manifesto is complete nonsense?

Controversial statement, I know, but… Mein Kampf? Bad book.

Wasn’t there a new translation recently with annotations explaining, at length, exactly what was so wrong and goddamn crazy about it? That version might be worth reading.

When I was a young person, (under the age of 12), my parents bought my clothes for me. And if they didn't like the colour of it then they wouldn't buy it.

So, why doesn't this insane person thinking that pink t shirt will force their child to become gay, buy them a different coloured t shirt? It's a target, they sell multiple colours of things.

Yeah if a job requires a buff dude to regularly max out all his strength then he and everybody else doing that job will definitely get injured and develop various chronic conditions. Jobs like that shouldn't exist today and if they do you shouldn't take it even if it looks very manly on a YouTube video in the short time before you blow out your knees and back.

There are no other shirts, if you try to buy another shirt the gay agenda police will come and take it away from you and force you to buy the gay shirt, this is the real actual world I live in, where I must defend my children from the gay microchips they put in the shirts.

That's especially hilarious because if there was an apocalyptic scenario, you'd probably have more people coming out because now that most of the dickheads are dead they feel safer to do so, also when all you have to worry about is basic survival you have WAY more time for experimentation than if you had to go work a full time job. Not as many people going to give a poo poo that you're wearing a dress because they'll be too focused on the gun you have trained on them.

i was a child in the 80s and 90s, at some point my family put me into like purple jeans/red cord pants, probably paired with a denim jacket. pretty sure i wore stuff bought with marlboro miles too. fashion was wild west back then. i don't think it mattered, at all, ever.

it feels like he also bungled that joke. Like he saw someone else compare his mismanagment of twitter to Office Space and so he rushed to steal the joke -while only remembering the scene with the Bobs.

Meanwhile the person was probably referencing the joke about the company firing a guy and just not telling him to keep getting free work.

Bill Lumbhergh could have been named Elon, and the scene where the Bobs look directly into the camera and say Elon is a bad manager would have gone over his head.
