  • “I think our culture sends a message to young men that you should suppress every masculine urge, you should try to cast aside your family, you should try to suppress what makes you a young man in the first place,” [Vance] said at Cpac.

    It’s really telling that this disingenuous, petulant fuck thinks teaching young men about concepts like consent, respect, and empathy is “suppressing every masculine urge.” Y’know, because real “manly men” are unable to control their tempers, constantly worry about whether their performative masculinity is enough that nobody will think they’re gay, and blame society for empowering women to avoid relationships with abusers.






  • What a fuckin’ joke. By the title blaming “Gen Z,” the implication is that those newer to the work force - ie, entry level and junior positions - are most guilty of this, when later in the article it points out management and executives engage in “fauxductivity” at higher rates, and that it’s far from a new phenomenon.

    I’m not a zoomer, but this bullshit is often a pretty significant part of my day. I work in an industrial facility in a maintenance role, and all of our regular work is planned and scheduled in advance. We wrap up all our jobs for the day, and that’s it - we can’t just go out and start turning wrenches on live equipment. Might kill a bit of time tidying up the shop and trucks, follow up on some orders, but beyond that there’s not much to do. Current supervision is pretty chill because they know how it is, but it still feels like a bad look to be spending the last couple hours of the day sitting with my feet up, staring at my phone. And at the last place I worked, we’d actually get in shit for not appearing busy no matter how empty the schedule was.
