A Breakup Letter to Feminism
TRIGGER WARNING: If you are a social liberal this might give you The Feels.
It is brilliant, full of so much golden wisdom. A must read.
"If feminism were just about gender equality, I think more than 90% of people would be feminists."
Yep.
**** "Defining your terms in such a way so that anyone who does not support you looks like an asshole is intellectual dishonesty." ****
She may be a liberal now, but she's about to convert. Once she realizes that truth most of modern liberalism falls apart.
"Patriarchy is often a word tossed around in feminist circles. The cynical side of me thinks it might be just a term they came up with to silence accusations that they hate men. 'No, we don't hate men, we hate patriarchy.'"
100% truth.
"they have a very 'with us or against us' mentality when it comes to women. So much for a movement about, supposedly, women's liberation. ***** They don't really WANT your liberation, they want your suffering.***** They want to jack off to your pain as another poor, pathetic victim of 'the patriarchy'".
Only as a victim or Crusader for the Oppressed does anyone have value.
"I didn't realize until before this how much of feminism revolves around and depends on us women being perpetually shaking out of the fear of rape. There have been numerous instances that have shown me that *****this hypersensitivity towards all things dubbed 'rapey' seems like it's less and less about concern for actual rape victims [...] and seems to have more to do with keeping women terrified of men at all times."*****
Bingo. Only as a victim or Crusader for the Oppressed does anyone have value to them.
"But don't choose to take more time off than a man and choose not to ask for a raise and then blame sexism for the fact that he got a raise, that he ASKED for, when you did not get a raise you did NOT ask for. Ok? Simple."
You'd think so. But that's not what feminists want. Feminists, a sub sect of Marxists, want government forcing everyone to be paid the same regardless of dedication, effort, or demand. Everyone must be equally miserable - that is leftism.
This is definitely one to archive. Very well written and true.
