Why are women always sick?

[HammerdownParticipant 528]

You know, it seems that every time I log in to facebook or really any social media, there’s at minimum half a dozen women complaining of how “sick” they are or complaining about how they’re sick and having to go to work. The odd one will post something like “Soooooooo sick today but gotta work at 3 no got to patience to deal with customers today so WATCH OUT lol”. Yeah, lots of professionalism there. And it’s not even like they’re describing their symptoms or asking if there’s something going around. Just “sooooooo sick fml ):”

I’m maybe truly sick five times a year tops. As in, so sick that I can’t go to work, out of my inability to function or for the safety of my coworkers. Last time I had to get excused from work for being sick was July, when I had strep throat. And yet these women seem to get sick enough to complain multiple times a month. I mean I’ve gotten a cold or felt under the weather, but I still don’t gripe to the internet about it, and I sure as hell don’t threaten to snap at customers just because I have the sniffles. Quoth Seinfeld, “What’s the deal?”

And frankly, it’s amazing women can get sick, what with all the pills and medicines they have in their bathrooms.

Well, if your nose lived over a tuna processing plant you’d probably use a sick day or three too!  BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

I would wager that the motivation for their appearing sick is equal parts malingering and attention whoring.

These women aren’t truly sick, they are just fishing for comments. These women are bored from their non-productive desk jobs.

[SurlymonocleParticipant 38]

Man, I have covered for those bitches!  I’ve had bosses ask me to come in with 5 minutes notice.  I was once fired for being an hour away on my day off.  Yeah, it is “equality” as long as a dude can cover a flighty bitch.

It should be noted that offices are like giant petri dishes for diseases.  I work from home, so I can beat a cold in 48hr, as I did a few months ago.  If my immune system was taxed by whatever diseases the crotch-droppings were spreading by way of the office c~~~s it would likely be double, if not longer.

Therefore, it pleases me not to work in an office, or around malingering, attention-whoring c~~~s.

This starts in school when girls get to skip phys ed for made up reasons.
Some women take such a poor care of their bodies and health, that they have cough and running nose 24/7 which gives them another reason to complain

Women learn early in life that being weak, sick or otherwise in trouble gets them help.  A woman in trouble draws both male and female helpers like moths to a flame.  Not so a male, who will be quickly told to “man up” or be ignored.

Over time, especially as beauty fades, some women develop chronic, impossible-to-define illness.  I am wholeheartedly convinced this is an attempt by some to cash in on the equity of being female, although they will never, NEVER admit it.

A male can’t be “sick all the time” and get endless attention.  He will very quickly be branded a malingerer or worse a useless failure.  But females can string out the sympathy of family and medical professionals endlessly.  “Female problems.”

Some of it may truly be a mental inability to grasp that their identity is changing from being a fertile female, and thereby the darling of the human race, to an infertile “human being”, with no more intrinsic value than a male.

After all, for a woman who is used to endless attention, the complete invisibility of being a semi-manly menopausal female must be a huge change.  They probably do feel like something is “wrong.”

The most ironic in all of this, women have stronger immune defences by nature, because of reproduction role, and yet are the gender with most sick leaves in the work environment.

 

They grave attention and revel in their self pity.

It is the way of showing the world “see i go to work even if I’m sick, I’m a strong and independent woman.” ..

I’ve gotten many calls like that “<woman> is sick and can’t make it in, can you come in and cover for her?”

My response: “If you pay me double, I’ll come in.  If you can’t afford that, take it out of her paycheck.”

I was taken up on that offer ONCE.

[lonestar77Participant 406]

Women are always sick because they got nothing better to do other than whine, complain and look for attention. Plus they have no f~~~ing clue how to handle stress at work so they make themselves sick mentally.  My workplace is 90 percent women and it sucks let me tell you!

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me

[Governor Megachris%Participant 3584]

Another funny thing to notice (I’m sure all of you have) is when they call in sick, everyone suddenly feels bad for them.  When any of us as men call in, they try to make us feel bad for not showing up (“well, we REALLY needed you today…”).  It’s like they’re threatening your job for not feeling well.

In all seriousness, I think there is a ton of truth to the above^^^

As Cipher also pointed out, the office/workplace is a petri dish.  Since us men generally get push back for being legitimately sick, I will drag myself in to work and make sure I go out of my way to “spread the love”.  One of two things happens….either I get told to go home or everyone else gets to experience my illness for themselves.  Either way I win because I am so dedicated to my job that nothing stops me from showing up.  HAHA!  However, after working in waste water treatment for several years I haven’t been seriously ill in years.  The worst thing I deal with anymore is seasonal allergies.

Then there’s the fact that men aren’t allowed to get sick. If a man gets sick he’s only faking it. It’s the “man flu”.

Women also like to pimp the excuse “my baby is sick”, especially Mondays and Fridays

[mgtow_85Participant 752]

A woman who used to work on my overnight freight team liked taking Fridays off by saying that her TOOTH hurts after she made a recent dentist appointment. “My tooth is still hurting me! I need to take tonight off.”

Yeah, it isn’t like she needs her TEETH to unpack and unload hundreds of boxes for her department. And so the whole team suffers. And my night manager and supervisor are BOTH women, and they find excuses not to help the rest of us unload a truck with 17,000 items once it comes in. They both disappear for an hour and then they come back when we are 5 minutes away from emptying the truck. Then they take charge and do the easy departments, refusing my calls for help while I’m busting my ass up-stocking 50-pound buckets of nails on a rickety ladder that likes to sway back and forth when I’m 30 feet off the ground.

Thanks for all your help, ladies! Not.

Why are women always sick? That’s dumb question; they were born that way!

That picture always sends shivers down my spine…not in a good way either!

I vote to make Killery Klinton the poster child for the impending Zombie Apocolypse.  We should make ad similar to the Gatorade (is it in you?) ad but instead it should read Zombie Apocolypse…are you locked and loaded?”.  This text could be superimposed over this picture of a washed up leathery old scarecrow jizz bag.  🙂
