Yet another UK female features writer who can't resist slamming men: tall buildings are a testimony to male vanity. Female architects would do better, of course, than foolish men out to impress with their vain phallic creations.
Here we go again. Generalizing all males based on what some do. And attributing a characteristic she's decided is negative to maleness, without any evidence whatsoever for the link. None, aside from her misandry.
The most celebrated architect, and perhaps the most celebrated artist, America ever produced was, of course, a male -- Frank Lloyd Wright, who either invented or at least perfected and popularized the very design styles that this writer associates with female architects. My favorite Wright concoction was the builing he designed to openly mock and challenge the so-called "European" school of functional architecture -- by taking what they did and showing them what Frank Lloyd Wright could do with it. The result was Fallingwater. But I am sure that some dizzy woman in the UK would say that all that spewing water is a sorry metaphor for ejaculation.

Don't you know that journalism is so much more useful than engineering?
For every tall building that those mean old men design and build, this woman will be there with a stinging counter-attack, in the clever disguise of news. Go sisterhood!
If tall buildings are indeed phallic creations, then what shape should they have instead? Apparently feminists don't believe in Euclidean geometry.
I always thought they built tall buildings to save space. How much land would be taken up in Manhattan by the same square footage used in the big buildings?
These female authors hate men, let's not beat around the bush. They are idiots, and they hate men.

Undoubtedly.
I just hate that they patronise us by trying to make us 'understand'.
E.g., by arguing that there is some rational basis for what they are saying, rather than pure, primordial hate.
Their reasons/excuses are being seen for what they are, which is why they have to come up with 'new' 'reasons' to bash men - such as the fact that men build tall buildings.
Even when these things make logical sense and are efficient, as in the case of tall buildings - even when these things are to the benefit of women, if they are done by men, they shall be used to bash men.
It is pure hate. It's the same reasoning behind widening the definition of rape to include consensual sex; finding new excuses to 'justify' their hate.
You're forgetting pioneer, John Raskob, the dynamic Russian immigrant whose building concept was designed in the shape of a "pencil".
I call it vanity born out of competion with peers, because before they broke ground on this project, other men had joined the race to see who could could do it first.
Yes, men are vain (so are women)... Vanity is an asset.
That journalist had a slow day and wrote a bunch of nonsense.
oh yeah ...
it's a little gem in NYC.
Along the lines of my previous comment ...
"The hatred of wicked men is only increased by the impossibility of finding any justification for it; and the feeling of their own injustice is only an additional grievance against the object of their dislike."
- Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It's a wonder feminist haven't found a way of perverting dome shaped building, claiming they objectifty women's reasts or, stadiums, which if viewed by the hallucinators, might resemble a woman's labia and vulva. What perverts they are! Too hate men so much, they seem obsessed by phallic designs.
and caves, tunnels, rockets of course... lol

To be honest, when I hear a feminist remarking on the vaguely phallic shape of certain man-made objects, I just think she's really immature, and maybe hasn't ever seen a live penis ...
"That journalist had a slow day and wrote a bunch of nonsense."
What an enabler.
In the words of Snark, Go Sisterhood, Go!
snark, perhaps you're too dense to know anything about J.J. Raskob.
My comments have nothing at all to do with "enabling".
Pierce, and others, I don't see where men are "hated" by feminists. What am I missing? Many of you have accused "me" of hating men, so of course I am suspicious. If you can sit there with a straight face and say GG hates men, then what are "real" people supposed to think of the men who post in MRA sites?
By the way, if you haven't figured out who John J. Raskob is, i'll tell you .... he financed the Empire State Bldg. VAIN? You bet ... thank goodness for Vanity!
And Hitler didn't hate the Jews. Got to hell. I don't have time for it.
"My comments have nothing at all to do with "enabling"."
FUCK YOU
Get the hell out of here.
Phallic symbols? Even if true, so what? As Camille Paglia has said, masculinity has been the driving force behind the creation of civilization (unfortunately, she goes on to partially ruin it by saying it is within the context of rebeling against the mother or something, so she still has a gynocentric view of things.)
Guys,
in case you don't know from 'other' board(s), GG is a malcontent old bag who had 'recovered' a memory of abuse that happened over fifty years earlier; and for some odd reason, she is seeking to continue her therapy on MR boards.
p.s.
I would like to ask this journalist why she is thoughtfully stroking her pen right now (she hasn't been laid in over THIRTY years!! - and no wonder, her moustache is longer than the pen. HE-HE-HEE!!)

LOL, you got the idea.
snark, perhaps you're too dense to know anything about J.J. Raskob.

GG, never said they did.
I will let this one slide as an honest mistake.
What is it with these women's obsession with genitals? Seriously, I think they should get professional help.
Norm, I should wash your mouth out with soap for calling me an old bag on my birthday?! Now I am not an old bag ... I am mature and standing tall, just like the Empire State Building, which none of you have heard of.
GG, I can't speak for the others but I wasn't playing your guessing game ...
I pretty much skip or skim-read your posts ... so the fact that no one played along doesn't mean no one knew, it means no one cared. None of my posts were in response to, or referenced, you or John Raskob in any way.
"snark, perhaps you're too dense to know anything about J.J. Raskob."
That's why this doesn't make any sense. Nothing I said was addressed to you, or even referred to you or your little guessing game.
Also, the word you are looking for would be 'ignorant', not 'dense'. But I'm pretty sure I could reel off dozens of names of historical figures you are unfamiliar with. So could a lot of people, to you or I. That doesn't make either of us 'dense'.
You asked me a question, I ignored you and talked to other people, then you called me 'dense' because I didn't answer you. In my opinion, you are a horrible, foul-mouthed, vicious piece of work, the type of 'person' who goes around attacking people for no reason whatsoever.
The arrogance of this old bag astounds me.
She asked a question which everyone promptly ignored; we all continued our discussion from before.
But she assumed that every post following her question was an attempted answer, and thus incorrect.
And thus, she had the gall to call me 'dense' for not getting the answer right, when I was not even attempting an answer.
Are you sure there's no way to ban people from here? She comes here specifically to cause trouble, and contributes absolutely nothing ...
oh pleeese:
"... a horrible, foul-mouthed, vicious attacker"?
Besides, I spoke of buildings and vanity ... right on topic.
"Are you sure there's no way to ban people from here?"
She can be banned.
yes, it is interesting that you bring up the Empire State Building. I say this becuase the movie 'Red Dragon' depicts the evil villian, Francis Dollarhyde, as having his identity indirectly bound up with that structure. Are you yourself uncertain of your identity? You seem not to realize that you are an old bag, which is an indication of your vanity; you also seem to think you are quite reasonable and well-liked, whereas the reality is that you are neither.
Snark,
she does contribute something insofar as she is a target that we need to spice things up here once in a while. Or at least, she is so until she gets banned.
Norm, I have no question about my identity or my very "comfortable" place in life at this time. Not many of you can declare that status.
And what is your definition of an "old bag"?
I mean besides "vanity" ... I'm the first to admit i am VAIN :)
But, because I am older than most of you, does that mean I look ancient, wrinkled, dead?
It might be a good idea to post a photo of me on my blog. Hey, good idea. Give me a couple hours ...

GG,
'Bag' is not so much an actual reference to your looks or age. Rather, I'm just trying to piss you off so you'll go away.
Okay I did it ... I posted a pic of me on my blog so you'll see how gorgeous I am :)

Not bad for an old biddie. Too bad you have such an agenda and hatred within you. I can tell your therapist did you a disservice.
GG, an old hag, by definition, is one with a cunt so dried up and caked shut from years of disuse it would take a sledgehammer and steel chisel just to break through. And after having broken through who knows what one will find in there - bats, mold, mildew, an STD-infested stinkhole, or all of the above? That my dear GG is you.
Go away and fuck yourself with your vibrator and your cats. Your presence here is superfluous. Like all of your kind.
Show me one building designed and built by a woman and I will gladly show you her soul.
Thank you for explaining the anatomy of the mature woman.
Now, when you figure out the "intent" of your post, only then will you be able to deal with the beast that controls the shackles of your mind.
Good luck to you in finding the peace you so desperately seek.
Meanwhile, I'll go soak in my jacuzzi.
Must your every post be filled with vacuous pomposity?
That's gross even for me...and I was in the Navy! Chill out guy.
p.s.
have you ever head the one about he drunk sailor and the donkey?
just kidding!
Norm, it sounds like one of AFOR's comments, but it wasn't him. You'd be shocked (maybe not) to know who actually wrote that post. Hint: If I told you "who", this post would be deleted :)
