Men’s rights activist: Civilization fails when women and their vaginas are allowed in the workplace

Source: Raw Story



The founder of A Voice for Men, Paul Elam, went on “ManStream Media” to discuss how women have forever ruined the workplace and ended the possibility of humanity ever doing anything “excellent” again.

“There’s just a different way that men do things with each other,” he said, “and it results in excellence. In civilization. In the aqueducts being built. To people landing on the moon and cures being found to disease.”

Elam offered as an example of such excellence what happens at a construction site when some “newbie comes in and accidentally pulls the trigger on the nail gun and plants one in his leg. They’re not going to rush around him crying, they’ll say, ‘That’ll teach his ass. When he comes back to the job, he won’t do that again.’ But they will get him medical care.”

“I’m sorry, ladies,” he continued, “but if we want society to advance, we need to leave men alone to do their work — to do their thing and be with each other to get things done. Because that’s how it works.”

the expectations from these people and their acceptance on DU and elsewhere should be just the same of white rights activists.

Should female, or even male, patients be referred to him if he reduces women to the stereotype of "bursting in tears" and doing nothing useful? Perhaps one of the women present *delivered* the medical care to save the guy's leg and/or let him get on with his productive work, while the rest of the guys were just standing around making jokes?

I hope the ignorant bag of pus gets really sick or injured and there's a female doctor in the ER.

I hope he tells her she should go home and not treat him; because he'd rather die than have a woman work on him.

Just like a goddamned Saudi male. Why doesn't PAUL ELAM move to fucking Saudi Arabia where his values are cherished?

This is America, you doofy motherfucker. Come tell me how I shouldn't be in the workplace to my face, you ignorant fuckstick.



I'm sure we can take up a collection or do a GOFUNDME and we can send you somewhere where you can beat up on women all day.

PAUL ELAM IS NOT AM AMERICAN! HE IS A TRAITOR TO OUR NATION!

Plus nearly all modern nail guns and air compressors have hundreds of safety measures put in place to prevent that sort of thing from happening, so yeah definitely logic fail there. Terrible example.

and stay away from them, there is no help for that kind of sick. It's usually insecurity - their dads and culture taught them that man (esp White man) is top dog and all else is inferior - but they know that isn't true, deep in their dark wizened souls, and the poor thangs get so confused.
