Exceptional must-read.
"I want people to see the real feminism.
I want it to be on display.
Come and behold, ladies and gentlemen. Look upon this disfigured beast.
This is feminism."
What's that? This doesn't count? Feminists disagree.
"Of course, the other feminists of the Internet didn’t see it that way. Genius, they called it. Genius. The Sistine Chapel and little girls saying the F word: both works of sheer and utter genius.
It’s also empowering, they said. And brilliant. And amazing. And great. And powerful. You need to watch it. It will change the world for the better. These girls drop truth bombs and they’re obviously having lots of fun. Bill Maher shared it on Facebook and 14,000 of his morally bankrupt fans ‘liked’ it.
Some feminists and liberals did dissent, however, saying that it was a bit exploitative, but also cute and funny. Child exploitation can be cute and funny, didn’t you know?" <- This is the logic of the Left. If they will do stuff like this video *with their own kids* what would they do to yours?
"So if I slap a 'stop pistol whipping baby polar bears' bumper sticker on my son’s head and then strap him to the top of my car like a piece of luggage, you can’t critique my arguably unsafe child transport technique without simultaneously celebrating the serial abuse of arctic mammals. Them’s the rules, my friend. I didn’t make ‘em, but I will play by ‘em."
Some interesting facts to shove down their throats:
"And while feminists concentrate solely and exclusively on the both real and imagined plight of women, the obvious insinuation is that men have it easier. Feminists ignore the fact that boys face a school system that is 70 percent more likely to suspend them and a medical establishment that’s twice as likely to diagnose them with learning disabilities. They can call a man’s challenges less severe, but they never explain why guys kill themselves at a rate four times higher, and face a much higher probability of developing substance abuse disorders. They say that the system is stacked against females, but they never tell us why men receive longer prison sentences for the same crime. And they talk about violence against women but they don’t mention that men are 76 percent more likely to be murdered."
I am not privileged. And it is not okay to assume that I am, or to assume I'm a rapist.
A great piece. Read the whole thing.
Feminism Has Nothing to Say But It Still Won’t Shut Up
