1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:

- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)

- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

  • Women and Men at work

    Lately I have realized the tremendous difference in working style between women and men. It's as if they speak a different language. Women who are in highly authoritarian positions are the most dangerous predators.

    It seems as if women become highly stressed, complain, gossip and exercise their power in order to prove that they are in control. I also think that often they want things done immediately and are often requesting a million things at once, at the end hardly getting it together. I feel terribly sorry for men who are subjected to such coworkers and managers. I have heard a few stories where men were walked over, probably because women felt that they had to prove themselves in a male dominated world. I believe women can be a lot more vindictive and vicious than men. I never thought I would say it, but in my opinion it's entirely due to the emotional nature of women.

    Men are entirely different. For the most part they seem to be able to control their emotions. They don't complain incessantly, they don't gossip as much. When they work they prefer to take things one at a time and they don't sweat the small stuff as much. They approach work as work. They are highly competitive, but for the most part it's because the thrill of winning the competition is highly gratifying. They don't sneer, falsely compliment each other on the way they look, and the weight they lost, and gossip about celebrities or which guy has lose "morals." They seem to be able to approach most situations with reason and logic, rather than impulse.

    I have come to believe that for the most part women should stay away from stressful careers. Very rarely women are able to handle a huge amount of responsibilities. This is also one of the reasons why women are much better than men in certain careers or lifestyles. Women who work low stress jobs or do part time work, invest themselves into their families and try not to prove themselves to men seem to be a lot happier individuals. For some reason being emotional has been given a very negative connotation, perhaps that's what is responsible for women's desire to steer clear of any form of lifestyle/career which requires that human characteristic. I think it's a mistake, we should try to utilize all of our faculties to our advantage rather than trying to become androgynous or aspiring to that boring idea of "sameness."

    I don't know if this analysis is completely accurate, naturally it is based on my personal experience, observations and stories I've heard. What do you think of the above? Agree or disagree?

      More on the subject:

      Brain scans reveal men are tuned to external events, while women pay attention to what's inside them.


      The new study focused on activity in the amygdala, a cluster of neurons found on both sides of the brain and involved for both sexes in hormone and other involuntary functions, as well as emotions and perception. Cahill already knew that the sexes use different sides of their brains to process and store long-term memories, based on his earlier work. He also has shown that a particular drug, Propranolol, can block memory differently in men and women....

      Cahill and his co-author Lisa Kilpatrick, scanned the brains of 36 healthy men and 36 healthy women.....

      The scans also showed that men's and women's amygdalas are polar opposites in terms of connections with other parts of the brain. In men, the right amygdala is more active and shows more connections with other brain regions. In women, the same is true of the left amygdala.

        Re: Women and Men at work

        This article offers information which may shed a speckle of light on some of the reasons why we are inherently different.

        If you believe what you see on TV, women are conniving, hysterical and indecisive. So is gender clouded by perception, and does biology support or disprove stereotypes?


        Are women more emotional than men are? Do they cry more?

        A possible explanation for this is the hormone prolactin, which contributes to how much people cry. Prolactin is present in blood and tears, and it's more prevalent in women than in men.

        Studies show that, in addition to worrying more often, women may be physiologically prone to experiencing more stress. For example, the amygdala of the brain processes emotions like fear and anxiety. In men, the amygdala communicates with organs that take in and process visual information, like the visual cortex. In women, though, it communicates with parts of the brain that regulate hormones and digestion. This may mean that stress responses are more likely to cause physical symptoms in women than in men

        In addition, women's bodies produce more stress hormones than men's bodies do. Once a stressful event is over, women's bodies also take longer to stop producing the hormones. This may be a cause or an effect of women's tendency to replay stressful events in their minds and think about upsetting situations

        Research into the differences in men's and women's brains also seemed to support the idea that men should be better at math. Men have 6.5 times more gray matter in their brains than women do. Women have 10 times more white matter. Gray matter creates processing centers in the brain, and white matter creates the connections between them. In other words, men have lots of areas for processing concrete data -- like mathematical equations -- and women have lots of connections that allow them to see and process patterns

              Women are emotional beings for the most part.

              This is a classic reason why women cannot be a wife-mother and a career woman at the same time. I have always believed this and the more I live the more this is confirmed.

              The feministic bitchy types will beg to differ and state that "Oh the right woman can juggle both." No. You cannot. They are both full time jobs. You will inevitably either sacrifice being a good wife-mom or a good worker trying to work up the corporate ladder to satisfy your masters and shareholders.

              Part of the reason divorces have also increased is women working (I can hear the hiss of the feminists). Women are unable to divide their emotions between work and the home life.

              The whole reason men are able to is because of their genetic make up. Men work grueling hours and jobs and the stress they deal with at work, they leave it at work. Women often bring the stress, nerves and tension of work into the home life. In other words, males and females have different mechanisms of operating and dealing with stress and part of this is the man's ability to tune out work when he's at home.

              Why do you think men have always preferred to come home to the ideal wonderful wife who greets him from work and has food prepared? He seeks refuge and rejuvenation in the sanctity of the home, not another place to plunder with work. A man comes home seeking refuge from the career, whereas a woman becomes the career wherever she is.

              Those who doubt me, they will only learn the hard way.

                Yup. The difference between men and women working is that a woman is more likely to take the "bad things" that happen at work personally while a male sees it as "just business". Although the man is stressed, rare is the occasion that he complains to his partner. If a woman is stressed at work, she will complain on end. Sorry, it's the truth. All a man looks for when he gets home is a hot meal, the paper, and maybe some nookie too.

                Although it would be ideal that the woman stay at home, that is just not feasible in today's economy except for the upper-class. Today, most (American) families require two incomes to at least keep their head afloat.

                I know in Armenia it is different; it is customary for the man to be the sole provider for his family. However, as Armenia becomes more "Western" and "cosmopolitan", I sense this will change.
