Basically wimminz comments on someone else’s fuckbook page, calling him a sexist cunt, and gets bitten, and then claims the ones biting back are the online bullies, even though she started it.
All standard fare, and nothing to do with this post, this post is about what is buried within the story, a quote from the wimminz herself.
‘With all of this Harvey Weinstein stuff, the Toback stuff, my Facebook feed at the moment is full of men abusing women and I was in the frame of mind where I wasn’t going to stand for anymore sexism and I just overreacted.
‘I shouldn’t have done it but I deleted it so why his brother of all people then days later after it has been deleted has saved this screen grab for a few days and used it as a weapon against me.
‘Why would he try and ruin somebody’s business over something as trivial as swearing at somebody who isn’t even him?’
So, Jane Hobson, freelance photographer extraordinaire, neatly highlights the *sole* purpose of the contant misandrist rhetoric in the media, complete with regular spectactular puff pieces about the evil man of the week, it is to sow discord and strife.
There is a problem with all this though, discord and strife only works if the two sides are evenly matched, you can call a farmer a greedy fat GMO earth raping cunt all day long, and at the end of the day he still has the crops, and more importantly the experience and skills to produce more crops next year… you do not… so who is going to go hungry? Not the farmer.
My dad, back in the late 50’s, got into photography, he had a rollei and then a minolta 35 mm and some time around then a clockwork 8mm cine, did his own developing for the stills, and basically was never much of a photographer, not compared to the fleet street greats, of which there were only a few.
Fast forward 70 years and I can walk out the door and stab someone screaming aloha snackbar and 95% of everyone around whips out a smartphone with a camera that in many ways is superior to anything dad ever had, still, none of them are great photographers.
This Jane Hobson isn’t a great photographer, she just has better kit than most and better access to certain subjects than most, the photos themselves are pretty meh.
I knew a roadie for a famous rock band, his photos now sell for tens of thousands per image, they were not great photos, but he had access that most didn’t.
So this is the “business” that this skank ho claims the evil men are trying to destroy (Streisand effect anyone?)
So it is no secret that I also have a small business, and, clearly, I also make attempts to separate *that* from *this* but then again I don’t go on to people’s fuckbook pages and then call them a cunt.
If I ever did get blowback from this to the business, I’d just shrug, fine, go read ALL of that blog asshole, it will take you a week at least, and at the end of it you are going to think just some guy with a fucking attitude, so what, he doesn’t go and troll others or virtue signal on fuckbook or do social meedja or anything else, and really if it bugs you, don’t give me business, I don’t care.
I had a real customer last week start in on me, after trying to be polite twice I responded saying look, it’s pretty fucking simple, I run my business, I’m not responsible for your business, or your business methods, or your business making a profit, or anything else, and your business sure doesn’t share profits with me, so I run my business my way, and if you don’t like it, there is nothing stopping you from going to a competitor.
crickets
12 hours later the quote is paid in full and the job can go in the queue
the dispute that started it was about the price of a latte in a city cafe, that’s how much discount she (yeah, it was a she, what a surprise) wanted, before I said no, before she started on a rant about how businesses are supposed to operate.
I have a potential jon on the books now, the basic material is man made, the widget they want means going to the people who make said man made material and asking them to make custom tooling for a custom profile, they’ll do that, but it ain’y anywhere near worth it for the job, fuck it, cut it from flat sheet and be done with it, and adjust something else to suit that.
I’m dealing with guys there so whether it goes ahead or not, at least I won’t get all the whiney shit back about how the cup cake business needs all these esoteric toppings, and BTW can I have fucking 90 day terms that I often get when dealing with wimminz.
In two years there are 4 customers that I have blacklisted, (ooh, rayciss terminology) because frankly their money is worth less than the trouble they would put me to, two of them are 100% wimminz operated and run, the other two are muslim blokes with the same sort of god’s gift attitude.
This is where the whole MSM agenda of sowing strife is the rubber meeting the road, it doesn’t matter if your anger and angst is justified or not, all that matters is do you have as much power as the other side of the deal, because if you do not, you’re toast.
Ms Cupcake I want a latte discount probably did some research, and found that nobody else (what few there are in this line of business) could come close to my prices and quality and service, but rather than fess up and apologise, she just quietly pays da fucking money.
Fine, I already quoted you, so I’ll stand by what *I* said, and do the fucking job, just the same as if you had never run your mouth off at me.
Prace bets now.
What do you think is going to happen when Ms Cupcake comes back to me in 3 months time for the next order?
Sorry darling, too busy, got 3 months backlog. I don’t care if I have no work that week, I’ll still be too busy playing skyrim or fucking with an arduino or a brix of making something cnc, to entertain working for her…
Like the farmer who isn’t going to go hungry, me, I don’t give a shit.
When the boot is on the other foot and I *facing* the guy who can walk away and not look back, I’m all Ok mate, here is what I need, tell me what you need to make it happen, and while you are at it, tell me if I am asking for the wrong thing, or asking in the wrong way, I’m paying you for your skill and experience so I’m quite happy to hear things that I might not like, like my design being shit because it entails custom mould tooling to be made by the factory and that’s 10k bucks to start with, when there are other ways…
