Dilbert Creator Scott Adams Warns That Powerful Democratic Party Women Drain Testosterone from Men

by Bo Gardiner

Scott Adams, creator of the popular office-life comic strip Dilbert, has filed a disturbing report that will surely rock the science world. While watching the Democratic National Convention, the traumatic sight of powerful women chemically altered him by lowering his testosterone and inducing a biological depression. He now fears men across America suffered the same tragic fate. Yes, friends, vampire Dem women have the power to suck the very man-force from America, and they aren’t afraid to use it.

1. My wife did this to me several years ago,

I had to buy a muscle car to compensate...

She also convinced me to cut off my pony tail, which in retrospect was an excellent suggestion...

2. That guy is a WEIRDO.

I get a very ugly vibe when I see him-and it's not just his political views and misogyny.

I wouldn't let him babysit any of the youngsters in my family. He is a cretin.

3. Maybe his testosterone met Alice aka Anita

One of the more competent engineers. She is often frustrated at her work, because she does not get proper recognition, which she believes is because she is female, though in reality it is likely because she has a quick, often violent temper, sometimes putting her "Fist of Death" to use, even with the Pointy-Haired Boss. Alice is based on a woman that Scott Adams worked with named Anita, who is described as sharing Alice's "pink suit, fluffy hair, technical proficiency, coffee obsession, and take-no-crap attitude."

4. Sarcasm?

Dilbert never stuck me as a manly man, more like an office rat. If the creator is not joking, then he is a fucking tool for RWing propaganda.

5. We are all powerful!

Too bad you pointy headed little man who can't stand strong women.

6. Many men enjoy a good suck!

7. Why?

Because it's offensive?

Try spinning it this way: If women are being victorious over men, we're not on the same team and if that's the case and men perceive it to be us v them, with them winning, then Adam's right. Assuming the study is accurate, but this study as far as I know isn't controversial, it's an effect that's been known since well before 2013--what's new is factoring team cooperation versus competition into it.

If it was portrayed as men and women on the same team, so that HRC's nomination is a win for a collective team composed of men and women over some opposing team, then it would have no effect.


If you want it put in a simpler way, having it be "us versus them" with "them" being men is just bad politics. It might rouse part of the base, but if those not already on the bandwagon think of it as anti-them then it's harder to convince them. Don't know how it was portrayed, I make it a practice never to watch conventions or, if I can help it, listen to speeches. I might read speeches, but won't listen to them.
