I recently found out that one of my old friends equates my feminism with a growing intolerability. Her statement was equated to a women smashing penises with a mallet, at first it's somewhat ammusing, but after awhile it gets old. She seems to think that placating men is a far more interesting occupation.
It is annoying that a lot of opposition to the matriarchy is coming from women. Rushing to defend men. Are men rushing to defend women, when it is not explicitly beneficial to them? Few. Maybe none. Because who can really say that they know another's inner motivation?
I have spoken with many men who have admitted to me that they are nice to women because they want to bed them. This is so for 99.9% of the male populace, I'd wager. Men can be quite charming when they want something, but when denied this they have the tenacity to revert to tantrums, similar to a toddler.
Bugger this all. I see why many women of the movement have had to become bitter, and even at times, madly driven... This all is so ridiculous. Women lashing out at the people trying to unlock their cages, all the while pandering to their male captors. I suppose too long in a cage has led to an inbred fear of escaping captivity, and a denial of their prison altogether.
And they wonder why people who have figured it out opt for extremism, yet take little to no time to investigate further. Sometimes I want to shake people! Father does not know best! Father is the ambassador of the patriarchy! Wake up puppet girl!!
I try to have faith that if re-educated there is hope for women. If they could just access the information, statistics, etcetera that they would come to their senses. That is why I have VAGINA*, and am not afraid to use it to get the message out. Hopefully make a contribution to social upheaval that will be the elimination of the patriarchy.
Also, I don't discount men, not completely. I feel that men can also play a large part in seeing this happen. If men and women alike decided that the patriarchy was outdated and it was time for a new system, who could contend such a change?
