The female Peril:
Eons ago, when I was a kid, people used to talk about a nonsensical,
paranoid notion called the "Yellow Peril." In this simple
minded theory, the Asian populations of the world would grow so
large that Asians would come swarming over the world in something
akin to a tidal wave. The WASP way of life would be overwhelmed.
Our hallowed Western culture would perish. Of course, that never
came to pass. What is happening instead is that the Western way
of life is becoming dominant. Cigarettes and Coke are overwhelming
and undermining the Eastern cultural traditions.
Now, I have another notion, which seems much more likely. I choose to call it the female peril. In this scenario, women will take over the world. Right now, this would seem most unlikely to most men. However, I have seen the signs and I warn you, change is coming. Beware, men. Beware, you strutting, posturing fools! It's only a matter of time. Women are starting to realize that they are superior.
Here is the current situation and the danger. There is no man anywhere in the US who is so low down and so mean that he does not believe, in his heart, that he could do a better job of running the country than the president. By contrast, there are not more than a handful of women in the US who believe that they could do even an adequate job. I warn you, make note of that handful. The times are changing, I tell you. Beware, or be caught unaware!
Right now, most women are laboring under the nonsensical notion that someone has to let them in. They complain about a glass ceiling. They want someone else to give them positions. They want to join this man's world. They are willing to work with and for men on an equal basis. They have not yet grasped the fact that women are the natural rulers.
There are now a few women in the world who are catching on. Our blustering bluff is almost over. If women ever decide to reach out and grab the brass ring instead of begging for it, male dominance will be doomed. Men will be hurtled aside like the dead-weigh, fat-butted excess-baggage that most of us have become. The man's world will disintegrate. The human male will be relegated to the onus of nothing more important than a sperm bank. "They all look alike to me."
It's not that men would be badly outnumbered. The difference is less than one percent. It's simply that women are superior to men in every category which counts.
Here's the truth. The average woman is not smarter than the average man. She is simply more thoughtful. This allows her to come up with more varied and usually better solutions. Women's greatest power lies in their ability to admit it when they don't know; to seek knowledge rather than bluffing.
The average woman is not stronger than the average man, but she is tougher. The average woman is also resilient; able to change her mind and try new approaches. Women are inherently stronger emotionally. Instead of having a stoke or a heart attack after a setback, a woman will try a new approach.
Men are, by and large, rigid, opinionated, and ego handicapped. Men are prone to stupid, avoidable errors because they cannot admit that they don't know. Ninety percent of our screw ups come out of that silly, ego handicap. Women, without that ego handicap, will seek knowledge and find better answers.
Once women understand this they will start creating their own culture and their own corporate world. This flimflam world of the blustering, bluffing, male ego will crumble. We men will be shut out and we damn well deserve it. Beware, men. Beware, you fools. You are about to become history. Women are starting to realize that they have been had. The end is near. Our days of dominance are dwindling. Don't expect any mercy. Be prepared to get what you have given.
Let's take just one example of how a company will run when women start it up. Perhaps, some women will start their own auto company. What would they call it? Certainly they would not give it something stupid and boring, like "Woman's General Motors." Nor would they just give it a common name, like "Mary Motor Company" (MoMoCo). I will make one guess, probably not imaginative enough though. Esprit Vehicles. "We will make your spirit soar."
Designs will be slicker. Interiors will be more convenient and attractive. Seats will be more comfortable. Colors will be cooler. The factories will be clean and their appearance will be complementary to their neighborhoods. there will be no eyesores. Inside, there will be flex time, day care, time share, people care, and, perhaps, even a crying jag room.
The workers will look forward to coming to work. They will
work their butts off to make superior produces and the company
will prosper. Then the pompous, blustering stuffed-shirts at GM
and Ford will be whining about a level playing field again. Beware,
men. Your days are numbered. Beware, you fools.
