John Gibbons Shockingly Bad Thread

[ValiantJaysFan]

How many feminists does it take to change a light bulb?

 

12

One to screw it in

One to excoriate men for creating the need for illumination

One to blame men for inventing such a faulty means of illumination

One to suggest the whole "screwing" bit to be too "rape-like"

One to deconstruct the light bulb itself as being phallic

One to blame men for not changing the bulb

One to blame men for trying to change the bulb instead of letting a woman do it

One to blame men for creating a society that discourages women from changing light bulbs

One to blame men for creating a society where women change too many light bulbs

One to advocate that light bulb changers should have wage parity with electricians

One to alert the media that women are now "out-lightbulbing" men

And one to just sit there taking pictures for her blog for photo-evidence that men are unnecessary

The issue is not the comment itself

 

The issue is that the manager of our baseball team has either no understanding of what's appropriate or isn't disciplined enough to control his mouth

 

In either case this is very much correlated to his in game decision making where he shows poor judgement combined with a lack of emotional intelligence

Anecdote:

I was talking to my fiancee about this, and I asked her how she felt, as a woman. She said she couldn't really give a s*** and can't even understand why someone would get upset over something that trivial. She also said he probably has a point because it would be a lot harder to slide in a dress.

 

I look at it in a kind of weird way; I find the entire narrative that women are weaker than men to be hilarious, and the ones who constantly push it are the ones who are fighting against it, somehow. Women aren't weaker or worse than men. In terms of physical strength, sure, but I choose to not even entertain the notion that this is debatable and laugh it off as Gibby being dumb. It's kind of like how a lot of gay guys act like huge homophobes before coming out. If you really think Gibbons' comment can be taken seriously, you must think that women are weak to some degree.

 

And for that, you're a sexist, misogynist pig.

 

Very open mind and smart girl. Congrats Boxy.

Now we need a pic of her to confirm. Less is more. #clothes

My wife doesn't give a f*** either. She's actually upset that people have this much time on their hands to find new moronic things to complain about.

Your husband is a great guy. Felicidades.

I don't think anyone could possibly argue that women should not be equal to men. But today's feminist are by and large not interested in equality, they're interested in female superiority and shunning men. My wife and I had our daughter 2.5 years ago. She stayed home with her for a year. That's one less year of experience she has compared to the men in the workforce. She didn't bitch and complain about it, she took it for what it was -- she made a choice to stay home. I then stayed home with my daughter for another 6 months until she was 18 months old and could go to Montessori school. During those 6 months, I did everything from wake up with her, take her places, feed her, change her, read to her, play with her, bathe her, put her to bed, got up with her in the night. All the things society says mothers do. And during those 6 months, any time I took her somewhere all I heard was "wow, giving mommy the day off huh?". NOT ONCE did I get the "sympathy" that my wife got from the same people. In fact if anything, it was "poor mommy must be tired if daddy is taking the baby out." I don't hear feminists bitching about how fathers don't get the same recognition as mothers. I don't see any feminists picketing outside of divorce courts where the mothers are almost universally given more rights than men.

 

It's no longer about equality. For that reason I don't refer to the "social justice warrior" feminists as feminists at all. They're just as bad as their male counterparts that they're so upset about.

 

Women's rights advocates I can get behind. "Feminists" no.

 

And I realize this is a much deeper issue than I care to delve into here, but being fairly well-versed in Canadian Labour history and specializing in Human Resources, I understand the struggle. As it relates to the John Gibbons comment -- people who were offended by it are just looking for a hill to die on. They want a fight and they'll nitpick anything they can find that serves their narrative of a "sexist" culture. And any time they fail at something, they blame it on inequality. Gibbons is a simple idiot but there was nothing he said that should be causing this outrage. Just because you're offended by something, doesn't make your position right.

Yup. She said she doesn't care because women are equal. She's never once felt like she was a lesser person in her life.

 

I guess that's the difference between strong, confident women who can take something like that lightheartedly and a butthurt tumblrette who is looking to be offended by something 24 hours a day.

Great post brah. They call stay at home dads are "losers" and then wonder why it's always women who handle the brunt of childrearing.

 

I will just say that female rights advocates don't really have anything to fight for either.

Oh yeah, taken out of context 100%. I should go look for his posts where he argues against free speech and is too dimwitted to realize it. Maybe a better Sig in there.

[Effit]

Ran the dress comment by the girlfriend and mother, both found it rather amusing and took no offense to it.

[intentional wok]

 

Seems like just some pre-Opening Night festivities.

Can't wait for the media to demand an apology. Hope Gibbons sticks to his guns.

 

And then gets fired.

My wife has never like Gibbons so she generally doesn't paid that much attention to him lol

I kind of expect KingKat and NJH to show up to the game in frilly dresses to show solidarity with all the women whose feelings have been hurt by Gibbons' comments.

Gibby looks a little skinnier this year. Maybe he quit putting whiskey in his diet coke.

I don't know, if he exercised to drop the weight it usually makes you think clearly and make smart decisions.... something he is not known for.

Storen was available for yesterday game, but for the 9th inning lol
