Ook hij liet een grote stoommachine plaatsen en alles groeide zo overrompelend vlug, dat er echt geen tijd was zich om veiligheid of zelfs een minimum aan hygiëne te bekommeren. In de spinnerijen stonden de vrouwen, meisjes en kinderen in wolken dwarrelend pluk, bijna dagelijks raakten handen vermorzeld bij het 'indraaien' en in werkplaatsen waar men omgeven was van natte dampen, kregen de meeste vrouwen een ziekte die men waterkanker noemde.(...) De vrouwen brachten in de levensgevaarlijke werkplaatsen hun kleinste kinderen van huis mee en lieten ze rondkruipen in vuil, stof en stank. ↗

It’s very dangerous to invent something in our times; ostentatious men of the other world, who are hostile to innovations, roam about angrily. To live in peace, one has to stay away from innovations and new ideas. Innovations, like trees, attract the most destructive lightnings to themselves. ↗

But the process should not be confused with science. When tests are used as selections devices, they're not a neutral tool; they become a large factor int he very equation they purport to measure. For one thing, the tests tend to screen out - or repel - those who would upset the correlation. If a man can't get into the company in the first place because he isn't the company type, he can't very well get to be an executive and be tested in a study to find out what kind if profile subsequent executives should match. Long before personality tests were invented, of course, plenty of companies proved that if you only hire people of a certain type, then all your successful men will be people of that type. But no one confused this with the immutable laws of science. ↗

Contrary to what you have been told, metrosexuality is not about flip-flops and facials, ‘man-bags’ or ‘manscara’. Or about men becoming ‘girlie’ or ‘gay’. It’s about men becoming everything. To themselves. In much the way that women have been for some time. It’s the end of the sexual division of bathroom and bedroom labour. It’s the end of sexuality as we’ve known it. ↗
