Chuck Palahniuk , Choke
i mean, i'm just tired of being wrong all the time because i'm a guy.
i mean how many times can everybody tell you that your the oppressive prejudiced enemy before you give up and become the enemy. i mean a male chauvinist pig isn't born, he's made, and more and more of them are being made by women.
after long enough, you just roll over and accept the fact you're a sexist, bigoted, insensitive, crude, cretinist cretin.
women are right, you're wrong. you get used to the idea. you live down to expectations.
even if the shoe doesnt fit, you'll shrink into it.
i mean in a world without god, arent mothers the new god? the last sacred unassailable position. isnt motherhood the last perfect magical miracle? but a miracle thats impossible for men.
and maybe men say they're glad not to give birth, all the pain and blood, but really that's just so much sour grapes, for sure, men can't do anything as incredible. upper body strength, abstract thought, phalluses-- any advantages men appear to have are pretty token.
you cant even hammer a nail with a phallus.
women are already born so far ahead ability-wise. the day men can give birth, thats when we can start thinking about equal rights.
