Women rule supreme as they hold the planet’s two trump cards.
Women hold the key which locks and unlocks men at will. Women hold the key to the world’s promiscuity and crime. Are women to blame? Or are men just weaklings?
The greatest of all competitive commodities, *** and money are controlled by women.
Women hold the purse strings and control your *** life. You say not? What do you think might happen if the men decide where and how to spend the money and where to have ***?
Eighty percent or more of the entire jail population are inside because of these two women dominated commodities *** and money. Women rule both, they hold the key.
If women ruled our planet would these commodities be shared more equitably?
Don’t call for my castration please; I am merely focussing opinion at that which is generally acknowledged amongst society at large, and I dare say if it is not, let’s wake up. Having admitted my alegiance to this thought, how can I possibly love women?
Are women truly from Venus?
Here are some general facts (or opinions) about women. Many men will deny their agreement in public; but in their inner bosom there is no denial. After all the fact are there for all to see.
• Gentlemen prefer blondes
• Brunettes start blonde jokes to discredit blonds, because gentlemen prefer blondes.
• Women travel 10km to save $0.50 on a product on special, but it costs $5.00 in gasoline to get there.
• Women will buy something not because they need it, but because it is a bargain.
• Women suffragettes burnt their bra because they wanted to be like men.
• Women believe that the world would be a better place if they were the rulers of this planet. (I think they should be given the opportunity , men have cocked it up good and proper, can’t get any worse.)
• Make love not war is a better motto than kill for oil.
• Women control about 80% of the spending power of a household, if not more. Thus they control the bulk of the general publics’ spend.
• Women to a large extent wear slacks, jeans and the like. Are they aiming to proof a point? (like who wears the pants) I’m sure there will be lots of denials. Generally men prefer the minni-skirt.
• Women dress sexily to show off their bodies, when men take notice they get reported for sexual harassment.
• Woman was the original temptress of the world, (remember the apple?) Nothing has changed today. Men get tempted and condemned for it.
• Women allow their husbands to be the men of the house as long as it is with their approval, and preferably not to frequently.
• Women spend what men work for. (Ooops, that’s a little controversial)
• Women control the greatest crime causes in the world, money and ***.
If a census were to be taken at the country’s jails I have no doubt that 80% or more of the inmates’ crimes were related to one of the two. Women-sex, or money, or possibly both of the above factors.
A weapon, which is often used by women in defence of being called the weaker sex, is the observation that Our Lord first created men and than noticed some serious flaws, so to perfect his creation He made women. You know, I think some women truly believe this.
There are no doubt many more general observations about women one could make, but this suffices, I have made the point, which demonstrates the general consensus amongst men when they talk away from women ears.
Most men will quietly admit to most of the women fads as enumerated. I wonder how many men will have the guts to write and agree with me. I’ve given the address at the foot of the article. Come on, don’t leave me in this alone, all men and women have opinions on this subject.
No wonder some great author said that women are aliens from Venus.
The other side of the coin
• Women must often have double the qualification for the same job as men and then they still get paid less because they are female. Is this just? Are they short of some sort of inherent ability although they have more academic qualifications? Or are men hell bent on keeping them bare foot and pregnant in the kitchen?
• Women are more loyal employees than men.
• Women can multi task better then men.
• Women are great to hand the screaming baby to.
• Women are more loyal than men.
• Women cope better with a crisis than men.
There is an under current amongst women, complaining that nowadays men have the headaches, what happened? I’ll tell you.
Men are now 50% housewife now that women are in full time employ. Women please take note now that you are in full day employ and expect the husbands to do 50% of the motherly duties, nothing against that, but please, we must change nappies and get up at 2 am to warm the babies bottle etc., Why should we not be entitled to the occasional head ache. In fact, the whole system is upside down, look at your teenage daughter, at the age of 14 or 15 they are chasing boys. Should not the men be the hunter? I think so. Look at nature the way God created it. Males are the pursuers, but note, only successful if the women gives permission. Women are in control.
What happened to the “Barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen” type of women? What has changed? I’ll tell you what has changed, greed, we all want bigger homes, better cars etc. It’s the Keeping up with the Joneses that is the problem, so the wives have had to become more economically active. I’m not saying I liked women better when barefoot etc, no, I’m asking a question, who has the answer?
Men, your world is changing Women are taking over. In fact they will more than likely shortly rule America. Who cares? They can not do any worse than men. Or can they? Is Venus in the same state of chaos as planet earth?
Here is some tangible proof that women are widely recognised as the temptresses of the world as ever they were. If women are not, why does a manufacturer of great Italian vehicles have to have a scantily clothed, **** women present at their exhibit at the Earls Court Motor Show, right on the beautiful rotating platform? Because women are a star attraction, it thus brings the men, and on the off chance they may even notice the car. Women, remain ever the temptress, and this fact is well exploited by the emperors of commerce. She tempts men, she draws them closer to come and look. (At what?)
I’ve said enough, or just about. Men, do you know that the greatest slice of internet money is taken home by women? (I will have to get my wife operative at this). I wonder why, if in commerce they are remunerated at a lesser level for similar professions? It appears that they are taking over; after all, the internet is the world’s largest market place. It is the only place I know where you often do not know with whom you are transacting. Does this indicate that women are discriminated against when because of the misnomer, “weaker ***?”
Internet seems the only real equitable place we do not know or determine if the GURU is a woman, if the women are, they earn the same and more than the male, could the reason be that here gender is obscured? Shoo, makes you think, doesn’t it?
The power of temptation has belonged to the women since the Garden of Eden. Today the world still upholds women as the ultimate temptress hence the ****** in advertising. It is held that a half ***** feminine torso if shaped according to the fads of the male world will attract attention, and it does. Some of the most obscure products use women in their advertising to get their product noticed. You see, women are good for everything. Are men just as versatile?
For men danger of being swamped by women lurks around every corner, or is it perhaps good fortune lurking? I can name a few women who were colossus in this world during my time, like British Maggie or Jewish Golda. I am not very fond of the worlds idle parasites who ride the tjooka tjooka train of wealth like the Dutch queen and the British queen etc. Cost me taxes for no return.
Are we men about to be relieved of all the responsibilities of this planet? Women are very capable of earning big money. If women as a species suddenly realise their potential they will then rule, the purse and the bedroom. Thing are looking bleak for the strongest sex, what is left for us?
Men, I ask, do we still have a roll to play? Women no longer need us, *** is also pleasurably achievable without the male around, in fact many claims of greater ****** pleasure are contributed to mechanical bedroom equipment. Are we the stronger ***? May be physically, but mentally? We are lorded over by women in all the important facets of life, certainly the two deemed most important. Women rule supreme. I say thank heaven they do not seem to have cottoned on to this fact as yet, or is coertion already exerting women dominance to allow men favours? However, it is a fact of life; *** and money are the woman’s domain.
Now then if this be so should they not shoulder the blame for modern society’s promiscuity and money greed, for both of which society steal murder and plunder. Does it mean that men have been weaklings since Eve tempted Adam?
Are women running our lives or are women running out of control?
I’d like a few opinions, I sure as hell don’t know where I am on or off with this women issue. Do we respect the species which clearly hold the key to our survival? Do we stand by and let women rule the world? Come on, let me have some input; don’t let the world believe that only the author thinks like this.I have left a facility for sharing your view at the foot of the page
I look forward to a few answers, hopefully dispersed by some good humour. No antagonism please, women live on this planet also, not only Venus. Venus is apparently full up. We are not looking to make war with women; I’d rather make love with women.
Here are a few internet facts on women.
Keyword search on Women, Guess what was tops? ***** women 35000 hits a day Keyword search on Men, Guess what was tops here? It was ***** men, but significantly less in number at 12000 per day.
Next I typed in Women Money I got 178 daily searches on this Then I typed in Men Money and got 15 daily searches. An interesting bit of information is the keyword phrase Women Wrestle Men for Money, 165000 pages,
Check it on google.
So 3 question remain unanswered
• Will this be a better world if the women rule?
• Are women who definitely rule money and *** responsible for the worlds promiscuity and crime?
• Would the jails be only quarter as full if the two most powerful urges of human kind were equally shared emotionally?
I would like to hear from those of you who have been to the proverbial woman’s haven Venus. Is better place than planet earth because it is held that women rule there?

America is known for its population of larger people. Men and women alike have a hard time finding plus size clothing that is in style. Though the population of the country is larger, the fashion industry is more revolved around those who are teeny tiny. This may affect both men and women but none worse than the beautiful plus sized women.
Let’s face it, most men do not really care what they wear. Unfortunately, plus sized women are forced to buy clothes from a section that now is even less fashionable that the maternity section. The Plus Section at most department stores are filled with mostly elastic waist pants and plus sized women dresses and shirts that could double as parachutes.
There is actually some good news though, finally after all these years companies are seeing fit to make clothing in plus sizes that mimic the clothing modeled in fashion magazines. CEOs of clothing companies have finally realized that they could make a lot more money by having the same clothing for plus size women as they do the size three models. In fact, people are finally taking notice that women of all ages are now needing bigger clothes.
You ready for some more bad news? I did not think so but here it goes anyway, most department stores only carry a small inventory of fashionable plus size women dresses and other clothing. The solution to this problem would be to shop around online, it is more likely that you will find more of a selection of beautiful plus size clothing online than you would in any major department store plus size section.
There are many places online that you can shop for plus sized women’s dresses and other clothing. Many major department stores have their own websites now and have a larger selection of plus sized clothing than they do in store. Ebay and Lane Bryant are also great places to go to find fashionable and beautiful plus size clothing for women.
Being plus sized does not have to mean you are stuck wearing those ugly black stretch pants and the huge shirt you wear to every special occasion, you are now free to where things that look great and fit your curves. You can find all kinds of clothing when you shop online; anything from swimwear to seasonal clothing to formal plus sized women’s dresses. The best part is the package is shipped right to your door and you can shop in your underwear if you want to.
Being fashionable and beautiful plus sized women is becoming easier to do these days because of the better selection of clothing there is that come in plus sizes. Bigger women no longer have to worry about going to their friend’s wedding in the same thing they wore to their brother’s wedding last year. By having the option of buying the perfect dress or outfit it will not be long before bigger women are on the cover of the fashion magazines next.
Many things changed with the arrival of the liberation movement by women. One of these changes dealt with the wearing of dresses and skirts. Women rebelled the wearing of skirts and dresses and the binding undergarments that accompanied them, as they found them to be terribly restrictive of being able to breathe. Skirts and dresses of this day and time are completely different from the styles worn back then, although the undergarments are still available today, however, wearing them is more of a choice than a requirement. It is for this reason perhaps that skirts and dresses are beginning their reawakening in the world of fashion today.
It is true; dresses are very comfortable, whether you have a figure that is long and lean or one that is more curvaceously voluptuous, there are dresses available to flatter both your shape and your lifestyle without any restrictive undergarments to bind you.
You must remember that long ago when a woman wore a dress they would have to adjust their body proportions to fit the dresses they wore. However, today dresses are designed for the adjustments of size and shape to compliment the shape of any woman who wears them. Dresses do create the feeling of femininity and now they can be enjoyed by all women.
Dresses have a way of rendering cooling comfort to any woman. They do not have to worry over materials that are stiff like that of pants material. Nor do they have to worry about a waistline becoming shrunk in the dryer. Women can now fully enjoy the heavenly perfection of being comfortable while soft materials billow around them.
Since dresses are so versatile and can be worn in almost any circumstance, there are always activities that allow for the comfort of wearing a dress. This is something that fashion designers are well aware of, and they have created many different types of dresses for any occasion you can think of. Keep in mind that the right style of dress for each occasion will lend in building the character of your personal fashion statement style, for any event.
A cocktail dress is most suitable for a dinner party of wedding. Cocktail dresses are fashionable designed and may be garnished with lace and sequins. Normally, the decorations of the dress are stylish and very elaborate.
Alternatively, there are dresses fashioned for business dealings that generally give the appearance of being designed in the style of a business suit. They are not very revealing, as they normally button all the way up to the top of the neckline. While the skirt is generally straight and either black, beige or gray in color.
Cotton is a favorite for everyday wear in dresses since cotton has a cooling effect. These dresses come in a wide variety of styles and colors, although, they may be revealing or flamboyant or even very traditional in style. Dresses offer a great deal of comfort as well as offering the benefit of hiding any problem areas while wearing them.
Dresses are an amazing piece of clothing as they are both fun and comfortable to wear. There are dresses available for every occasion while revealing a fashion statement all their own.
Obviously, one of the most wanted women accessory today are fashion handbags. There are a huge selection of fashion handbags that are available everywhere. You can find one that fits your personality, if you just know where to look at. Generally, women today have at least three handbags to carry, depending on their outfit. These very trendy accessories allow any woman the chance to be recognized and adored.

However when you shop for these accessories, keep in mind not only the things you need to carry in your handbag, but also the look you are going for. Fashion handbags provide any outfit that extra jazz it needs to be noticed and envied. Choose the latest trend of handbags to accentuate you formal office outfit, search a hip new color to add to that classic black cocktail dress, or consider some exciting texture to coordinate with an already gorgeous ensemble.
Different fashion handbags simply mean the new trends. From their variety of colors, sizes, textures to materials, women have no reason to disregard such adorable and tasteful accessories. Apart from that, there are also so many fashion handbags at reasonable prices. In short, you can be as hot as celebrities with a fashion handbag, without digging through to those last season’s cast-offs.

There are several things that made fashionable handbags very much appreciated. First, they are a practical item that women could use in their everyday lives. Second, they are the perfect items to complete an outfit. And the last, they provide a special feeling and satisfaction when owned.

Handbags have come a long way in the fashion world. No more just an object that holds a woman’s wallet, makeup and keys, fashion handbags have become a must-have wardrobe accessory. For many women, fashion handbags are as much a part of their wardrobe as their dresses, suits, shirts, blouses, pants, shoes and other clothing items they wear. A fashion handbag contributes to the overall impression of any outfit, and it sends a message about the personality of the person who carries it.
Of course, women do still carry handbags for functional reasons. Women definitely need a place to hold the necessities of life. But fashion has caught up with function. If we are going to carry handbags, we’re going to look good doing it! Fashion handbags have become an important signature accessory for stylish women around the world.
Fashion handbags have become true wardrobe accessories. A stylish woman wouldn’t carry a backpack when walking the red carpet at a formal event, nor would she take a clamshell evening bag on a camping trip. These may be extreme examples, but surely they illustrate how the handbag you carry completes the image you present to the world.
Fashion handbags are available in so many different styles and shapes that it is easy to select a handbag that is perfect for every style, mood and occasion. Maybe you are wearing a fashionable broomstick skirt today. A slouchy shoulder bag might just be the perfect handbag accessory. Maybe you have a job interview. That same slouchy bag might not send the best message. Not only will it not coordinate well with your best interview suit, it doesn’t send a message of organization and competence. A slim briefcase or classic leather bag would be a better choice for this occasion.
Fashion handbags are available in too many styles to list. To name just a few, some of the most popular styles today include: evening bags, hobo style handbags, boxcar handbags, duffel and mini duffel handbags, shoulder bags, wrist bags, and many others. Popular fashion handbag materials include fabric, nylon, leather, crochet, canvas and other textile. Some fashion handbags are decorated with beads, sequins, and appliqués. Some people even carry fashion handbags that are especially designed to allow them to carry their pet with them everywhere they go!
You are sure to be able to find fashion handbags that match your every mood. Changing your handbag to match your mood and attire is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to let your personality shine through to the world.
Having spent the last 9 years in seemingly the most glamorous and desirable industry to women, fashion I am often asked about the careers and opportunities for women in fashion and more often what are the best paying careers for women in fashion today?
The beauty about the fashion industry is that it caters for the creative and the business savvy as well as encompassing the back end blood sweat and tears in producing apparel for the Australian and global markets.
Let’s look at the best paying careers for women in fashion…
For the business savvy roles for example Brand Manager, Product Manager or Retail Buyer you need a qualification in business, commence, economics or marketing. Candidate perception is often misunderstood with these roles and in the past 4 years they have become the glamour roles of the industry. The misconception largely surrounds the intense business acumen required to be a success. You need to be numbers savvy, have strong skills in product forecasting, budgets, calculation of EBIT (earnings before interest and tax) and have strong analytical skills and margin and profit focus. All too often candidates see for 15% fascination with the product side of these roles and fail to see that 85% of the job is spent behind an excel spreadsheet.
Salaries in Australia for Brand Manager, Product Manager and Retail buyer vary greatly and are very dependent on the size of the company. With this said, some of the larger brands are the poorer payers. Brand Manager, Product Manager and Retail Buyers earn above national average to executive salaries at the top end. Longevity plays a big role in securing top dollar so proving yourself is essential. Your success will be measured on year in and year out results and growth so 18 months here and there is not going to get you into the best paying careers for women in fashion. You need to have some creative edge in these roles, so a sense of style and fashion is essential as much of the creative team is likely to report to you. These roles will see you provide product direction, range planning and product lifecycle analysis as a response to market forces and trends as well as the financial management aspects..
The creative roles in fashion are probably the most deceptive. Design is hard work and again longevity is going to go along way to allowing you to achieve your financial salary goals. My best advice when negotiating a role in design is to negotiate your increases when you commence. One of the biggest problems in increasing salaries once you start working is the lack of a remuneration plan at commencement.
To be a fashion designer you will need to have studied fashion design at any one of the various International Design schools. Getting accolades will also help. Make sure your design projects reflect commercial fashion and if they don’t leave them out of your portfolio. It is very off putting to an employer of a fashion designer to see arty unwearable fashion in the recruitment process.
As a fashion designer you will not only be responsible for the design of the ranges within the product budgets and brand values but you will be responsible for the outcome, market acceptance or rejection! It is very rare for a design graduate to score a top job as a fashion designer but occasionally it does happen. Your career path is however more likely to commence behind the scenes as a designers assistant. You will sketch, source fabrics, trims and accessories, cut samples, prepare range books and coordinate the design timeline with the pattern makers and sample machinists. Not too much creative here but at least you will be close to the action.
Prove yourself and you will be introduced to designing your own portion of a range with a bit of luck (and blood sweat and tears). As a designer assistant (graduate) in fashion expect to earn average national salaries. You will be competing with a big group of graduates all chasing the dream so embrace anything on offer and be realistic about the brand opportunities offered to you. It is no time to be a brand snob when you have just graduated from design school. If you decide to be brand specific be prepared to wait tables as it may be required for a while until the right break comes you way.
As a Range Designer of a visible and market identified brand expect to earn anywhere from average to executive salaries at the end. When so much hinges on the talents of a designer you would expect higher paying salaries, however, simple supply and demand principles unfortunately come into play. The best news is that when longevity kicks in (if you haven’t started your own label) the role of Design Director comes with a hefty pay packet. As Design Director of a fashion brand expect to earn serious executive dollars. Achieve this in fashion design and you have made it!
Let’s look at the engine room; Production Management, Operations and Supply Chain. These roles are the most critical to a fashion operation. Apparel may not be a perishable commodity but if it is late into store it may as well be. With the changes in supply chain and imports the production of apparel in the last 10 years has changed the nature of these roles significantly. In fashion production, operations and supply chain you can expect to frequently travel to operations particularly in the east and work in some quite deceptive conditions. Let me qualify this by saying that your negotiation skills need to be razor sharp and your ability to identify the right sources is essential.
In terms of qualifications you need a fashion production qualification, business or logistics supply chain management qualification or similar. Garment construction knowledge is essential. You will work hands on and be required to make the call on garment construction issues so it is imperative that you know the lingo. At the low end Production Managers in fashion earn just above national salaries with Operations and Supply Chain Managers earning exceptional executive dollars.
Whilst I have purposely focused on the highest paying roles for women within the fashion industry the obvious roles of General Manager, CEO and Company Director form the highest paying roles in the sector. It is difficult to focus on these roles when the opportunities are quite few are far between. Some outstanding women have achieved these roles in fashion with Sue Morphet of Pacific Brands crashing through the glass ceiling some years ago and moving up the scale with full force. Sue is of particular inspiration having conquered such an exceptional role within an established and traditional brand. There are other women like Sue earning exceptional salaries within the fashion sector, but the roles are few and far between. Salaries at this top end can reach beyond half a million dollars including bonuses and share options.
Fashion trends change every year, every season. No sooner the fall approaches fashionable women around the globe starts going through catalogs, blogs and magazines and ramps to figure what the ***** styles are going to be this season? However, this year of 2008 has been marked by fashion critics as a landmark in the upcoming trend. There has been sudden maneuver of colors, cuts and accessories as well as in make up techniques. So what are the keys to be the hottest and trendiest ***** of this season? What are the elements that are going to add that wow effect and pull in attraction by swarms? Here are some easy yet very much useful tips- you might want to try them on!
If you are ready to be daring enough to try something totally new and off beat- you should try those harem pants. They come in full leg lengths and banded ends. Materials vary from chiffon to cottons. Harem pants are exclusively attractive if you can pull them off in darker colors. But before you put them on, consider your figure pattern, because harem pants add a lot of volume to your bottom region.
Tops with geometric patterns and stripes are totally in- especially if you are looking for the perfect top to go with a harem pant. Pastel shades and grayish hues are better if you are wearing darker pants.
The trickiest and most stylish color of this season is going to be charteuse (a delicate shade between green and yellow). Satin fabrics in this particular shade seem to be the favorite of the designers this year. Apart from this color, lilac hues, freesia, cantaloupe hues and robocco red along with pink mist will be seen a lot.
According to the hottest list declared by Vogue- feminine and floaty designs adorned with details like pleats, laces and ruffles are going to top the trends. Transparent fabrics in draping cuts are mostly favored. Also sheer materials are seen to be used in layers giving the wearer a frilly look.
Energized with its versatility maxi dresses are coming back again this year. Whether you are wearing a mini or maxi- do wear light and airy dresses. Designs will have lots of references from the ancient Greek styles- especially their drapes, folds and pleats. Asymmetric designs are going to rule the next summer collections, prepare to expect some really loud and color blocked swim wears.
Runways of this year have seen a substantial amount of jumpsuits. Some designers also have designed them in overalls. Instead of bell bottomed jumpsuits- try fitting bottoms. Many designers like: Marc Jacobs, Proenza Schouler, J Mendel and Michael Kors are opting for off shoulder two sleeved looks. Also big floras are dominating the patterns and prints of materials besides the geometric and asymmetric shapes. Golden and gaudy accessories are hot this season- so don’t get scared at a huge bracelet. It will be much better if you also let such huge metal accessories in your footwear and bags as well.
