…Post on a scott

(…for the ‘simplest’ of the three, this is more difficult than I thought…how to convey the directness, the concreteness, down-to-earth-black-and-white, aggressiveness, the uncomplicated friendless, the unrestrained emotional side)…(…I know!)

HEY!  HEY!!!

(…alright…now that you’ve had your little joke…goddamn this is not that much fun…history!  go for the historical context…)

At one time in the past, Scott (the progenitor scott), worked at a music store doing, among other things, repair on equipment. Visiting him one day I witnessed an interaction that was to be my eureka moment.
A customer came into the store with a ‘double cassette recorder’  This particular type of ‘tape recorder’  had dual volume tone controls (on for each of the 2 cassette decks), however it had (only) one master volume control.   The customer said to  Scott, “this thing is brand new, it worked for a couple of days, then it stopped working entirely, I can’t figure out what is wrong”.
Scott looked at the device briefly, took some electrical tape from under the counter, carefully stuck the tape over the master control volume (which he turned back on), slid the recorder over the counter and said to the customer, “there, its all right now”.
The customer  tried the recorder, ran it through it’s paces, saw that it worked like new and walked out of the store without another word; totally satisfied that his cassette recorded had been fixed.

  (…ok that was fuckin poignent and has the virtue of being true…but are they ‘getting it’?)(…I need caffeine..)

(…holy shit! the TV!  I just went to get coffee…and the TV was on…and there was an A&E on Rodney Dangerfield and I thought, “ok there’s a good example of a scott…but so what?…then…they…interviewed his wife…! (hey sorry, I don’t watch Entertainment Tonight or read the Hollywood Whatever, so I did not know)…but I saw and I knew…that is what being a (male) scott is about:

Hey, my job here is done….

Wait, wait before you go!  that was the easy part….what about…scottian women? What about them, huh?

You’re right, the Wakefield Doctrine is gender neutral.  And we are not leaving out more than half the damn human race just because it is easier to describe the antics of the typical scottian male (Wiley Coyote with a brain).

The scottian female is every bit as predatory/aggressive/mercurial/actions speak, why bother with words, as the scottian male.  But there are totally significant cultural forces at work. If I could write anywhere near the level that the Doctrine deserves I would.  But I don’t.  So this will have to do.

Hey, you know something?  It is more difficult to describe the ways of the scottian female than the scottian male.  Probably because, in most cultures, the aggressiveness that is a primary characteristic (of the worldview of a scott) is more directly expressed in the men than the women.  But take a little trip over to the Page on Couples and consider that scottian female/rogerian male couples and you will immediately recognise that the violence of a Joe Pesci character, pales in comparison to the ambitious manipulations seen in say, I don’t know…Hilary?  Better yet  read AKH’s Post on Couples  in this well written Post, she looks at this particular match-up, from the perspective of the scottian female.

Am out of words…hey scott, hey Pixie, hey AKH…a little help here? 
I know what they are, I can spot a scott by looking at their eyes.  (Did I mention that ‘the eyes of the scott’  are totally characteristic and not possible to miss?).  And their behavior in social settings, also unmistakable. In any gathering, the scott is the one ‘working the room’ (the male scott that is, the scottian female is the one with the herd of rogers following her around).  For a scott it is all about ‘ranking’ using the wolf pack metaphor, scotts need to know who is dominant and who is not, in other words their ranking in the pack.  Everything follows from that…

So maybe one of our scottian female Readers would care to Comment. (Hey, write a good enough Comment and I will incorporate it into the damn Post). (yeah…go ahead and try…I’m the damn creator, you don’t really believe I won’t know a scott from a clark trying to pass herself off as a scott?)

music…need a video…Janie!!  help me out here…
