A continuation of “What Did a ‘Feminist That Loves Men’ Do to You Personally?”

January/February 2022: Methodology of Communicating to Ms. Plank (Do. Not. Screw. This. Up!)

There wasn’t just a high awareness of who I was reaching out to. Her Airplane Mode Substack is less of social media (allegedly because she posts screengrabs of her social media); and posting positive stuff, for loving men, she trashes some, but she spills her guts as if she’s not a public figure and asks her subscribers to pay her $50 a year may I quote directly…

“If you follow me on social media, then I would appreciate it if you could make my work possible by subscribing of the media it’s my main source of income and subscribing is the best way to support my work and help me make sure I can pay my insurance premium every month so that I can keep taking the ADHD medication that allows me to keep writing this newsletter which pays for the ADHD medication.” [From Ms. Plank’s about page on her Substack.]

I will not label strangers, but I cannot confirm for sure if she has ADHD, I am assuming she’s typical unless something is verifiable. My mother told me to be careful sending money to strangers (even for public figures), and by not paying you cannot comment of any posts or see the post on Stacy London – who drives me nutso since her stupid TV series What Not to Wear aired when I was in high school. The Karen before there was a Karen… damn those GenXers. Again, the only way to get to her attention is to call out not call-in.

Like in the earlier part, where a month after the email, the podcast she appears on was laughing about her relationship status; I was scared to death of how much I would appear in text on the other side of the screen. I know cannot the only autistic that doesn’t think this but others probably would use that email to backdoor into her in ways that’s illrelevant or inappropriate. I so had to be careful. I was really put into a cattle shoot; boxing me in to send an email to her The Dream Job Club’s Gmail with hopes maybe I’d get to her attention. The methods were

• Stay on point, show authenticity (that I was actually a dude on the spectrum who his gender played a huge role of being disfranchised)
• Avoid mentioning the book. I mentioned it once – not by title
• Edit, Edit, Draft and Draft some more. Little would Liz Plank know on her screen how much work it took to strip down a 3 page email to fit to a screen. It took nearly days to get it to fit on a MacBook size. But since most disability rights activists love to talk, talk and talk some more, maybe I should’ve sent “the book” instead.
• I DID NOT, and would NOT tolerate going down to Airplane Mode with the lack of capitals, punctuation, etc. If a guy does that, that’s capital punishment, if a woman does it’s getting away with a felony! (See my sarcasm through the packetwaves!?)
• Don’t come off too desperate: Do I need to say more? I have to be so cognizant! This got waived when I got wind that my benefits would change significantly because my mother said too many things in mid February. The second email was sent just to kinda elevate

Who else knew about my attempted connections to Liz?

• My therapist only knew about “a book about a feminist who loves men” and mentioned barely some of the poorly written subjects in her book. In June he had seen the Pissed off on Plank video, and got a kick on the reference to “younger and cuter Howie Carr with prettier packaging”
• One of my support staff only knew about her when he viewed said clip as well just days before this publication.
• My mother, no mention whatsoever. It would’ve been trivialized immediately – by her! She likes to have same-sex-sexism or woman-on-woman-sexism. The first thing she would’ve said (about 99.9% chance of probability of “you and your skinny women”). The woman objectifies fellow women on looks. Misses the inside, the intellect and even worse the personality. This is how autism-parents assume the autistic is trying to reach out because she’s-pretty and solely reaching out for an application to date her (as joked in that same Man Enough podcast in late February.) She is aware of something because she did see an Instagram story of Ms. Plank’s book.
• The Medicaid Waiver funded area agency received the following on one of my goals related to work as a monthly note in January and February: “Steven had attempted to contact people [Liz] behind an alternative job placement programs [The Dream Job Club] discovered based on some social media leads found in January [Twitter, Insta and her Substack].”
• Other close people did not react to the posts from Facebook or Insta, perhaps they think I liked Liz because she looks hot like pepperoni pizza some days!
• An unnamed talent at the NBC O&O cluster outside 128 (never met in person), who followed me since December (oldest child is autistic, and openly has ADHD) had liked the picture of the book’s cover posted in early March but never had engaged like that before or ever since.

(Attempted) interactions with mostly came from the newsgathering account that I leave nameless just to preserve my reputation as trying to be professional and less emotional. In one instance where there was a reference of autism, in mid march, of which I tagged her in a comment for a response of why. 

February 2022: Receipt of For The Love of Men

 Christmas came and went, and the dues were paid, which allowed me to open up to grab her book, despite trying to find it at my local Target, the site said to no avail priorto. I went onto B&N’s website, purchased my annual membership, that was used to steal the book for under $15. It was worth the steal over actually paying it at the normal tag under $18.

I also want to emphasize (and Liz’s Dream Job had been aware) that I was about to get hit with severe cut in benefits because my mother word-vomited with Social Security, causing all the incomes into a massive haywire for about a month beginning in March. So basically this $18 damage occurred just before a 30% budget cut – which is a lot with reassigning funding to other priorities suddenly!

The book has 296 pages, in the latest paperback. It was an easy read, but boy was the book missing so much and was more confusing. Liz’s voice did not pass through in the writing. It looked liked the twice the size of a term paper, worse written one. The book is a size of a field-guide so you could carry it out to get a quick reference on if such masculinity is good in the real world. The book was an organized mess for someone who likes to read and be informed, and I was not informed at all. Lots of data without something to compare it to. The only non text was a picture of her as a toddler with an apparent healthy bond of her father. No data was contextualized in tables and it didn’t have an index like all other non fiction books, leaving the reader into suspense.

Make sure you have highlighters, pens and Post-Its so you can write your thoughts and tag her on social media with the highest expectation to get a ghost-like. Thank goodness to screengrabs where I did see that “like” from Liz. I so swear to gawd she doesn’t manage her own social media. I suspect there are ghost people. It makes no sense. 

It was yet such a simple question and she doesn’t want to be accountable for reckless data without justification. In short, For The Love of Men just accelerated my distrust in men even more, as her messaging backfired!

(BTW: The only log of a like by Ms. Plank, was it actually by her, a team or a bot?)

In late February 2022, The Man Enough Podcast of which Ms. Plank appears on a Left coast studio with two other males talking about masculinity, as she believes feminism should be inclusive of men to discuss leveling both movements.This episode was unique, as she was the “guest” of this program, as the topic was on her personally. She opens up to her so-called “inner child” and some other PTSD type of experiences and why she may appear to be so skinny (just listen to it) but as the theme of the show is being “enough” (basically don’t be over masculine); Ms. Plank says her baseline is “not enough”. This woman, whose a week apart from yours truly who has gotten a six year on gender studies (whether you like that or not), has worked for the online-supermarket-tabloid Vox, who already won a Webby award for another podcast (Man Enough is being nominated for 2 Webbys for ’22, one was a specific and one was general) and this woman is still not-enough? Like I said on Episode 5, part 2 of Chronicles of a Corrupted Childhood– I AM NOT ENOUGH!

April 2022 – An Autistic is Feeling His Admirer is pissing herself down the drain.

The Man Enough Podcast is apparently produced well in advance unlike The Zoo, L&R or Chronicles of a Corrupted Childhood (Triple-C) as near same-day turnaround because the following episode (1st Monday of March) featured Alyssa Milano who was in a similar setup from an Erin Burnett hit before Halloween (décor was almost identical – hey autism is ringing loud here!) which kinda pins the Liz about Liz before November before I even knew of her.

(As a sidenote, during The Clickford Zone, during the Facebook Live Friday, I referenced Vox at least several times but I do not even know if I had may had passed by Liz’s.) But Liz continued to air her insecurities on another podcast in April called The Morning Brew where she went so far to say because she didn’t go to journalism school, that she turned down an opportunity before the pandemic at one of the cable news networks. Another antidote was prior to publishing her book she also was *this close* to turning down the advance and return to Montreal with her family.

She’s more than enough. How in the hell she can get away with writing the worst crap about herself on what I call is the LiveJournal with a selective paywall that is Substack? She has rights to the necklace Let Boys Cry, she also has an eyeglass line, she also is that “journalist”, a “CEO to Liz Plank Productions” (speaking about pretend CEOs, does she have a Corporate Governance…where is her Board of Directors to hold that said CEO accountable?) and a filmmaker.

What does Steven have? Theoretical skillsets of ENG videography, photography, and video editing; a failed content creator, VP of ops of a micro-me version of Game Creek Video; bit of a stronger knowledge on unified communications and overall enterprise Mac, Windows, Linux enterprise and writes like a journalist but no one really cares about his work. May I repeat that episode from Triple C: “I AM NOT ENOUGH!”

If there is any perception of “lust” – it’s the lust of her privilege and power that I will never even have even being a biological male.

The Dream Job Club: The Last post and the irony

The irony of this, the last post related to The Dream Job Club was actually an autistic man. March 16th. Like Liz, he wrote a book too – entitled Fearlessly Different. I am laughing in my head of how the hell someone could have such attitudes when I am still producing content here that is the polar opposite? Did I make a mistake staying in the 603 when I could’ve been empowered? *facepalm* So it’s not like Ms. Plank is completely unaware of the ASD world, especially when that article started with another For The Love Standard Operating Procedure  “[…]the most recent data from 2019 shows that 89% of those working in publishing in the US identify as non-disabled”. I forgot where Liz stopped and the individual’s words began because she lacked the attention to the formatting.

May 2022: Steven Cares About Journalism Too Much, Goes Livid over Liz

What literally drove me off the walls was her MSNBC column in mid May suggesting men should get vasectomies if Roe V. Wade gets overturned. On the same day, I discovered a video published by Candice Owens (a tight right political commentator on masculinity) plus a couple real-world sexism or just gender presumptions) against Ms. Plank’s writing. This level of passion aired live on the Episode 5, part 2 of Triple C, and had to be completely edited (like in “assemble edit” in the video tape world) because Liz made me livid. This originally aired on May 19th…and it was not The Weekly Zoo despite the wildness!

This issue is already getting tilts from both sides. Her writing was so poor, the copy was screaming For The Love of Men all over again. I was so pissed off, I went so far to tweet on the newsgathering Twitter a very sarcastic but not entirely a personal post, mixed with the masculinity and the lack of journalism on cable news. A competent editor at 30 Rock should had looked at the calendar (less than a month before Father’s Day, domestically, second was the lead started with data, and a narrative should’ve been the lead; not to mention the newsroom computer system enabled Ms. Plank to embed her own Tweets and her own pictures…excuse me while I cringe…) Personally, as an oppressed male, I understand freedom as a man comes with responsibilities, such as the right to feel he wants to be a father to shove it up the ass of my deadbeat father who as of 2019 still denies the existence of his creation. I’ll never be a father. The paternal family is right, I will be the last “Ayotte” remaining unless I become a Ciickford legally in the spirit of Mel.

After closing down the studio for Triple C, my iPhone was in my bedroom office, so coming back up, I saw a Twitter push notification of a well known Boston media commentator concerned (click the above link your own risk), and additionally spooking over 300 Boston and regional newsies (based on Twitter Impressions data from about a week ago, and something no one should be bragging about! ) as I retained the Tweet since it was also Retweeted to well known media commentators and newsies in the top 10 media market that is Boston (and Manchester!)

It just acted as self reminder to be careful, and people like Liz needs to be careful what she writes since she preaches accountability and “calling in” and not calling out. Masculinity has to be treated like kid-gloves now and Ms. Plank fregggin blew it…

She’s more than enough. How in the hell she can get away with writing the worst crap about herself on what I call is the LiveJournal with a selective paywall that is Substack? She has rights to the necklace Let Boys Cry, she also has an eyeglass line, she also is that “journalist”, a “CEO to Liz Plank Productions” (speaking about pretend CEOs, does she have a Corporate Governance…where is her Board of Directors to hold that said CEO accountable?) and a filmmaker.

What Has Liz Plank Done to You so Personally that you wrote 4,000 Words (perceiving to attack her)?

Let me start at the bottom now. Unlike other dudes who worship Jordan Peterson (oh I kid you not, there are people out here. Watch.)

https://youtu.be/C2cMHRsmeIE?t=337

I would never pray to the pearly gates if I ever met her. I would say I’d be blessed to meet someone who see the world a bit differently. Nothing wrong with that. But again, God in my world is a torture artist who created this individual by surplus and by accident, so what am I to kid. She was never on a pedestal in my eyes. Just look at how much I was critical, like I slashed her tires many times! My alleged obsession is on her content, not her personally. The book really just opened up the floodgates.

Simply put, I feel not enough by myself from not being completely taken seriously. I understand things have to be triaged with The Dream Job Club, given how scarce things are, and yeah I got the auto-response, but still. It’s all memories of similar situations that reminded me I am too Typical and Not Autistic enough (or dare I say, I Am To Smart for My Own Good) the many ghost reacts was a way for some dudes that need to be barely enough. I thought that would be Liz… but was I so wrong!

I do not know what’s on the other side. Does her phone ding on every social media mention? Is it managed by her handlers? She is a stranger. Did I go too far? I don’t know. I honestly believe I just fell through the cracks and got lost through all the noise. 

To steal one of her ethos: I don’t know who the hell I am but in five months I known about her that she and I have a lot in common and I may be more of an expert of Elizabeth Plank than she is about herself.

Oh how like this YT clip is from her YouTube, like civilian, like private, like a demo reel YouTube page? Apparently her job security is so bad she’s pimping Microsoft’s disability products (yeah cuz Windows from day 1 could be used without a mouse) but for an Atech device to run on Windows 10 or 11… dear lord, I pray for those victims where their communication devices have to be mandatory updated! Doesn’t she do some show live weekday afternoons one of those tacky interactive news talk shows online? The Recount? She still there?

---

I care too much about things I shouldn’t care about. That’s why it was the lead – not her personally. Now over 4,000 words later marks the end of this saga: I have not mentioned much about her personally. Let’s end it in the guttah (inner New Englander in me): Yeah she’s a brunette, and I love my brown eyed girls too (that Van Morrison song always makes me happy even in a gloomy day.) Even looking at a serious video, you see her playful side that makes one happy. I didn’t mention much about how much there is a lot in common between her and I other than the simple stuff of, separated at birth by a week, between The Border and several hundred miles… granted she’s closer to said “border” that abuts closer NYS more than NH, right? A abutting border is an abutting border, right?

The only time I would be scared of her would be if I ever met her in person, but overall she’s not a threat, so therefore I would ensure I wouldn’t be her threat. Being feminine and being a feminist does go hand in hand. I came off this entire post being selfless and being considerate in mind, but in the last five months I wanted to have that moment where I would be seen and heard and most importantly be valued. Apparently the attempts to Ms. Plank failed, and it’s apparent that she has no interest as I apparently haven’t wooed her for even for The Dream Job Club. She has everything a man would want, but someone like me will never get.

Despite appearing passively aggressive on vasectomies as Roe v Wade is up in the air legally; Liz still looks like she’s cute, lovely, approachable. But the skeptic of me has to emphasize on “looks like”.

Only because I care about people way too much. Should I say this narrative was a “Mindful” Obsession About a Woman That Allegedly “loves men”? After that I am on my next 15 weeks of distractions and who knows in 30 years maybe I’ll get to my 1,001 last-bad-first-impression once and for all. Or I could be dead since autistics allegedly have short lifespans thanks to the idiots who make my life worse not better. What a smoke in mirrors experience this has been. If I ever run into someone like her again on my screens, I’ll immediately consult to this post to remind myself to not repeat insanity ever again. I have been so let down.

My last words are, I pour so much resources with no expectations of any gratification: I am posting this like no one will be reading this. Even Liz.
