I fail to see the point of this thread.
Me too. There's a word for men getting shit done (while women suffer their feelings all day). It's called "life".
It was just a late night, post bottle of wine musing before heading to bed.
Watching this from my balcony has just got me thinking about the shit that is taken for granted. in most cases in the west, the foundations for the infrastructure that make up a vital part of our lives - the high rise buildings that make up the skyline of our cities, the five lane highways that take us between the cities, the underground trains, the sewers that ensure the only shit we have to deal with comes from feminists and other like minded people - were laid before most of us were alive. The post war years in many western countries, and especially in the United States, saw a frenzy of masculine energy and genius, unprecedented in history, that resulted in the improvement of the material standard of life for most people. There's no room for this rate of activity any more and therefore we don't witness large scale productivity in our own cities - I would imagine more money is spent on maintaining the shit we already have than is spent on creating new shit.
But living in Dubai, you can witness the masculine energy of construction that is part of a bygone era in most of our countries. In fact, it's the boom years on steroids, as shown in these widely circulated photos.
And this doesn't show the half of it - there's some seriously impressive stuff here.
But since we don't see it, we take it for granted. We forget that it was men who thought up, designed, and created almost everything we have. Everything we use is just there, we use it and don't give it a second thought.
Imagine if you had this going up in your neighbourhood.
What percentage of the construction workers would be men? What's the likelihood that it would be funded by men? How many engineers designing, testing, solving problems and overseeing the project would be men? How many university professors who trained those engineers about complex ideas in order to solve complex practical problems would be men? What percentage of concrete truck drivers would be men? I could add to this list almost indefinitely.
And how many of those men would have wives who appreciate the importance and hardship of their man's job, and support their men by ensuring they have a good breakfast in their bellies to sustain them during the day, and a tidy house, courteous children, a nutritious meal, and a freshly shaven pussy to come home to after a job well done?
