  1. Evil Estrogen Empire - The Silent Menace

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    As a former sailor and in response to "SmilingBlueEyes" I submit the following: Bitterness of The Sea Translated from the original French by Catherine Wieder The sea awaits its open call, looks for...

  2. Evil Estrogen Empire - The Silent Menace

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your input 3rdShiftGuy. I am sorry you had to remove a post as I feel it important that all viewpoints be shared in a constructive manner without fear of reprisal.

  3. Evil Estrogen Empire - The Silent Menace

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you "SmilingBlueEyes" and yes I do acknowledge some bitterness which I am trying to resolve through careful reflection and prayer. But as I retire from nursing and move on to other things I...

  4. Evil Estrogen Empire - The Silent Menace

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Since the issue of my experience has come in to question I provide the following: My Career Path since I graduated high school has been (23 years of experience in multiple settings): Navy Hospital...

  5. Evil Estrogen Empire - The Silent Menace

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    I have tried very hard to understand the various points of view on this subject but to say I should work in "every hospital in the United States" before I can validate a problem seems a bit absurd. I...

  6. Evil Estrogen Empire - The Silent Menace

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps the problem comes from a lack of respect for your co-workers and females in general. I have shared this link with my female colleagues (physician, nurse and other professionals) and we are...

    Very well said.

  8. Evil Estrogen Empire - The Silent Menace

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed!

  9. Evil Estrogen Empire - The Silent Menace

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Done. Thanks for the recommendation.

  10. Evil Estrogen Empire - The Silent Menace

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    So we should ignore the problem? I guess the issues of discrimination, gender bias, hostile work environment only apply to other populations, not male nurses.

  11. Evil Estrogen Empire - The Silent Menace

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    My apologies for anything you found posted offensive. But then again I tried not to censor what is "out there" from my Google search and only report the findings. Of all the links posted I find it...

  12. Evil Estrogen Empire - The Silent Menace

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    As I recall I did not post the laughing icon to express a certain response. This is not a laughing matter and what I have done is brought out into the open remarks, experiences and events I have...

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes "the joke" backfires and no longer is a laughing matter. http://www.ppspublishers.com/articles/gl/discipline.htm http://www.nursingworld.org/ajn/1998/sept/issu098f.htm...

  14. Evil Estrogen Empire - The Silent Menace

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    I would agree that what males in nursing experience today is no where near what was experienced in the 70's. To borrow a phrase from the feminist movement: We have come a long way brother! But a...

  15. Evil Estrogen Empire - The Silent Menace

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    True and Fair Enough. But then again I recall "the good old boy" network not taking seriously the concern of women and other minorities until enough pressure was brought to bear on those offenders...

  16. Evil Estrogen Empire - The Silent Menace

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    I would agree that there are unique gender traits that contribute to aptitude and outcomes. No doubt about it. But I find it curious that some women (who have been fighting these same issues for so...

  17. Evil Estrogen Empire - The Silent Menace

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, people should be hired, paid and promoted based upon individual merit and not gender. That is indeed the real issue.

  18. Evil Estrogen Empire - The Silent Menace

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    It is indeed what I am looking for and as they say "denial" is not just a river in Egypt. And apathy doesn't help either. But then again change doesn't come easy for people set in their ways....

  19. Evil Estrogen Empire - The Silent Menace

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Good Movie! (see link http://www.sonypictures.com/classics/whatever/) but I don't see how that response is constructive to the stated problem and the endeavor to seek an appropriate remedy and...

  20. Evil Estrogen Empire - The Silent Menace

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    I guess there lies the issue. Coming to agreement on what problem really is. But then again that depends upon "what the definition of is .... is....."

  21. Evil Estrogen Empire - The Silent Menace

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Then you acknowledge the problem does exist? And yes uncaring, insensitive remarks do aggravate the problem which is not my intent. But then again I find the term "male nurse" insulting. My intent...

  22. Evil Estrogen Empire - The Silent Menace

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    So what you are saying is that gender ratios are relevant to the problem stated in the original

  23. Evil Estrogen Empire - The Silent Menace

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    I think "Testoserone Tyranny" has better ring to

  24. Evil Estrogen Empire - The Silent Menace

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Indeed. What am I asking for? I believe the question was "Should men just ignore the problem and hope that things will get better or should they become more proactive on this issue and attempt to...

    Thank you for your thoughtful response "GeekGoLightly". I appreciate you taking the time to do so. If your candidate is going to win the Democratic Nomination and ultimately win the Presidency he...
