Ranting while I can
I'm in a particularly bad mood right now, which makes ranting easier, so I thought I should do it now while it'll be most entertaining. If my conscience bothers me about it later, I can always delete the post.

I've been short-shifted by my inconsistent manager, and I'm not hearing back from other job applications. This of course messes with my self-esteem and makes me look at my life as a series of failures and postponed decisions. Rants of course are more interesting if the blame is placed on others, so that is what I plan to do.

One thing that prevents me from being bolder with girls is that I don't have a car, a steady job, or significant material posessions. Most would say that this is based on an unfounded fear. That fear, however, is grounded in the multiple experiences when I have observed this behaviour. In recent decades, a lot of time and energy has been spent training men how to deal with the newly liberated female race. Men have been taught to be sensitive to the needs of women, to allow and encourage them to pursue their own career decisions, to keep their own last names, and to blaze a pioneering path wherever they want. In the most part, I think these are all wonderful things, that have made our society a better place. The trouble is, nobody told the young women how to embrace these changes. Where is this complaint coming from, you ask. I'll tell you. The modernized woman should not be swayed by all of the things that I don't have (already mentioned), but being fully capable themselves of being the primary breadwinner in a relationship, they should see the value in what I do have. It would be foolish of me to claim that this is the main reason why I am still single, but it is my firm belief that lately men have handled the changing times better than women have.
