It is my opinion that Feminists, once proud warriors of the light, have become corrupted, crooked dictators. Women are no longer oppressed (at least in the western world), and therefore feminists no longer fight on the side of liberty and equality. Like most special interest groups, they don't know when to quit while they're ahead. As the Tao says, when your work isdone, retire!

We are now living in a society in which women have more rights than men. Men are second class citizens when compared to women. Not only do you have the awesome power to bring a human being into this world, you can also force the father to pay, or you can kill the kid, or you can give it up for adoption. I have no say in the matter. That's bullshit. If you want power, you must accept the responsibility that comes with it.

And before you girls out there get smart and say something like "Now you know what it feels like", I will remind you that I was born in 1981. Never in my lifetime have women been oppressed. So stop blaming me for the mistakes of my forefathers. They were wrong, but I am not.

Growing up, every television show told me that women were better than me. Every class in school hammered me full of white male guilt. The funny thing is, this has made me a wuss, which is exactly what women aren't attracted to! Once again, women have created a problem and then bitched about it.

Social institutions favor women. I have to pay for their dinner, open their doors, and open their pickle jars, all while keeping my mouth shut about their 'equality'. If I marry a women without a prenup (good luck not offendening a woman when asking her to sign one of those, BTW), well there goes half my shit.

So to all the feminists out there, I say this: Go somewhere you are NEEDED. Like Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, or any of the other places where women are still treated like animals. If you REALLY cared about the plight of women, you would take the fight to the front lines of the battle, instead of lording it over us men in the end zone.

unfortunately..i am forced to agree...even as a liberal (and a looney one at that)..i have always been more than a bit skeptical of feminism...

i often get called a "feminist"..and whether thats true depends on how the word is defined...for the purposes of this post..however..the words "feminism" and "feminst"  will be taken to mean mainstream..intergrational feminism..which im..proud to say..definitely not...in fact..for reasons which will become clear below..this kind of feminism could more correctly be called "right-wing feminism"...

we can begin with the works of earlier feminist authors such as andrea dworkin..robin morgan..and everyones' favourite..the SCUM manifesto...substitute any given racial/ethnic minority for the word "men" in any of these lynx..and it immediately becomes white-supremacist hate propaganda (how much more liberal can you get?? :lol:)...and unfortunately for the left..they often inserted snippets of marxism-leninism amidst the rest of their hate-filled rantings...women back then were not initially fooled either..and immediately dismissed this new hate movement for what it was (but not for long)...

more recently..helen fisher has constructed even more direct and insidious links between feminism..racism..and the radical right...fisher claims that there are two kinds of women ..the biologically superior "web women" vs those who..like men..lack this capacity and are as such "biologically inferior"...to me..this sounds alot like a tin-pot dictator extolling the moral superiority of his followers..while lumping her detractors together with some war enemy and calling them both "morally inferior"...almost predictably..fisher lays a direct challenge to any female reader to prove that she is "biologically superior" by attaining a power position in an oppressive social structure...

fisher is also being a "trojan horse" for racism..since if it could ever be conclusively proven that really are such things as "web women"..or more generally that either gender is necessarily "biologically superior" to the other..then it would automatically become a very powerful argument for racism and other forms of discrimination...fortunately..however..fisher provides no such proof...she posits a "web-thinking" gene on the X-chromosome..and its obviously impossible for any single gene on the X-chromosome to behave the way fisher claims it does...so the first sex is nothing more than pseudo-scientific right-wing propaganda...

but the big lie was not to be dismissed so easily...the *male-dominated* corporate media was all to happy to publish such drivel as above..along with a shitstorm of anti-male advertising...the big lie worked like a charm..and we soon became unhappy with our marriages..simply because the TV..books..and the movies told us so...

as a result..mainstream feminism and the corporatist far right have grown in virtual lockstep since the early 1970s.. its even difficult to tell them apart (an excellent example can be found in iraq)...with employees of both genders being additionally motivated by such contrived bigotry and counter-bigotry..entities such as haliburton quickly become much more dynamic and profitable...let alone the mere fact that twice as many ppl competing for the same jobs will necessarily decrease wages and increase profits...

if there is still any doubt in your mind..one need only look at the products of this kind of feminism..which have been the likes of margaret thatcher..carly fiorina..ann coulter..and condoleeza rice...none of these bitches ("neocunts"..if you will) are even feminists in an academic sense of the word.. but they embody its success more than anyone that is...that gaggle of maggie thatcher clones sitting on the fascist power circles alongside their male counterparts doesnt make women like me any more "equal"...and the premise that equality..gender or otherwise..is to be attained by embracing an oppressive power structure such as corporate capitalism is at best flawed...one wonders why rush limburger has a problem with them "feminazis" who have given him so much of what he wanted...

we made the far right what they are today...fortunately..we can unmake them just as easily...the key is a new kind of feminism based on equal respect for our different roles..as opposed to the rightist concept of "gender equality" as destructive competition in the same roles...all of a sudden..the corporate police state hardly seems a lesser evil to what we traded it for...and we might find ourselves more empowered without the corporate suit...the far right often pays lip service to apparently anti-feminist rhetoric..but they know that they need us much more than we need them...

EDIT ..fix fisher link...

Aint that the truth.

I took a socialogy class once entittled "SEX, GENDER, and POWER", which was basically a course consisting or a ranting feminist. I argued with her daily, fucking exploded when she said that an act of sex is rape because the male is always dominating.

Men and women are different, period. One gender can do things better then the other, and vice versa.

The feminist male is a big problem today, and women who think they have a set of balls, is also one.

feminism in america used to be about women gaining the same rights as men.

Now, it is about women using the gender excuse for their own gain. Equality left the equation a long time ago. Now it's merely a self-serving special interest.

Hmm well I think you are tying, for personal reasons, feminism with a more general anti-hierarchal anti-patriarcichal goal of deconstruction. And I'm with you. If feminism's goal is just about establishing equal opportunity as men, then the natural result is that women are just going to put on the power suits and become greedy capitalists just like dudes.

However if you are out to smash the whole system, which I'm all about, it doesn't take a lot of thought to realize that feminism is just the first step in what should be an effort to destroy all absolute values determined by gender. If our society's notion of success is an aggressive, competitive, no-holds barred capitalist like Trump, well then that is a problem for both men and women. Feminism may have opened the way for people with vaginas to achieve the same status as those with penises, but the fact remains that most of men and most of women can't end up being on top like Trump is. Thus is one of the many problems of hierarchy, only one can be at the top.

If you are out to replace our culture's obsession with hierarchichal power with something more diffuse and co-operative, you not only have to redefine female gender roles, but male ones as well. This is why I have come to believe that true contemporary feminism, if it is to survive, needs to stop trying to make women more like men, and needs to start trying to work for both of us to give us all more flexability within our gender.

This is why transgendered people are so cool, in my opinion. They embody a revolutionary new concept about gender, in which basically you are free to be whoever the hell you want to be, and fuck what anyone else has to say in an attempt to make you more like them.

That reply was very insightful Gluke!

You're right, women are only coming into being accepted with equal value and even into places of superior dominance by becoming just like aggressive and assertive MEN, not by becoming recognized for the strengths the feminine aspects have to offer.

Those are STILL being oppressed in both men and women.

The feminine aspects both genders embody do have strength. The proof of that power is in how much it is feared that force is used to keep it oppressed. If it were to be accepted into the mix, the ways of rape, plunder, pillage, over throw and dominate, would be a thing of the past as true equality would be established as the hierarchies fell.

It sucks to see women in politics and business being accused for being just as corrupt as men. The thinking follows is that women have nothing new to add or offer. The shame is, they were only allowed to come into those positions of recognition and power because they acted with the masculine aspects of themselves.

We have yet to see and experience what the feminine aspects and strengths brought into politics and business can accomplish to tear down the BS hierarchies. Those at the top of the hierarchies (men and women alike) won't allow for it, or else, they will loose their dominance. Once people get a taste of power over others, they won't give it up so easily. They just want MORE. The masculine aspect is great at achieving that.

It's funny when men say women with their equal rights are now becoming total bitches. All they are doing is acting more like assertive and aggressive men in power always have.

Do the Math.

Could it be possible that most women choose a man that is big, strong and agressive and when they have children these traits are passed on to their offspring (just like other animals)? In other words, women might play a key role in creating a male dominanted society.

I agree that feminism has taken a wrong turn. However, I believe that it has more to do with seeing women as blameless victims than it does with persisting once all their issues have been addressed.

My favorite feminist writer, Naomi Wolf, defines the different "sides" as Victim Feminists and Power Feminists. Victim Feminists tend to hate men, yet emulate all their worst qualities. They portray women as victims, emphasize all the terrible crimes perpetrated against women, and resist (violently!) the idea that women have been complicit in their oppression.

Power Feminists are really humanists, and believe that both men and women have participated in creating gender discrimination. This faction does not engage in male-bashing, but instead seeks to examine the reasons why women have cooperated with maintaining the status quo for so many years.

Yes, that is a big part of it. There tends to be a lot of passive-aggressive competition between women, and this interferes with any effort towards change. Also, in my experience, women rarely trust each other.

I just came across this in a jokes forum and thought of this thread. These are letters to Santa from Barbie and Ken. They relate to the subject in a funny way.


Dear Santa,

Listen you fat troll, I've been saving your bacon every year, being the perfect Christmas Present, wearing skimpy bathing suits in December and dressing in fake Channel at sappy tea parties.

I hate to break it to ya Santa, but it's payback time. There had better be some changes around here, or I'm gonna call for a nationwide meltdown, and trust me, you don't wanna be around to smell it.

These are my demands for Christmas 1999:

Sweat pants and an oversized sweatshirt. I'm sick of looking like a hooker in hot pink bikinis. Do you have any idea what it feels like to have nylon and velcro up your butt? I don't suppose you do.
Real underwear that can be pulled on and off. That cheap-o molded underwear some genius at Mattel came up with looks like cellulite!
A REAL man... I don't care if you have to go to Hasbro to get him, bring me GI JOE. Hell, I'd take Tickle-Me-Elmo over that pathetic bump of a boy-toy Ken. And what was up with that earring anyway? HELLO!?
It's about time you made us all anatomically correct. Give me arms that actually bend so I can push the aforementioned Ken-wimp away once he is anatomically correct.
Breast reduction surgery. 'Nuff said.
A jog-bra. To wear until I get the surgery.
A new career. Pet doctor and school teacher don't cut it. I want to make real money.
A new, more 90's persona. Maybe "PMS Barbie", complete with a pint of cookie dough ice cream and a bag of chips.
No more McDonald's endorsements. The grease is wrecking my vinyl complexion.
10. Mattel stock options. It's been 39 years - I think I deserve a piece of the action.
Considering my valuable contribution to society and Mattel, I think these demands are reasonable. If you you don't like it you can find yourself a new bitch for next Christmas. It's that simple. As ever,
Barbie.
**********************************
Dear Santa,


It has come to my attention that one of my colleagues has petitioned for changes in her contract, specifically asking for anatomical and career changes. In addition, it is my understanding that disparaging remarks were made about me, my sexuality, and some of my fashion choices.


I would like to take this opportunity to inform you of issues concerning Ms. Barbie, as well as some of my own needs and desires:


First, I, alone with several of my colleagues feel Ms. Barbie DOES NOT deserve the preferential treatment she has received over the years. That bitch has everything. Neither I, nor Joe, Jem nor The Raggedys, Ann & Andy, have dreamhouses, Corvettes, dune buggies, evening gowns, and some of us do not even have the ability to change our hairstyle. I have a limited wardrobe, obviously designed to complement but never upstage Ms. Barbie.


My decision to accessorize with an earring was immediately quashed, which I protest, for it was my decision and reflects my lifestyle choice. I would like a change in my career to further explore my creative nature. Some options which could be considered are "Decorator Ken," "Beauty Salon Ken," or "Broadway Ken."


Other avenues which could be considered are: "Go-Go Ken," Impersonator Ken" (with wigs and gowns), or "West Hollywood Ken." These would more accurately reflect my interests and, I believe open up markets that have been underserved.


As for Ms. Barbie needing bendable arms so she can "push me away", I need bendable knees so I can kick the bitch to the curb. Bendable knees would also be helpful in other situations of which you are aware.


In closing, further concessions to the Blonde Bimbo from Hell, while the needs of others within my coalition are ignored, will result in legal action to be taken by myself and others.
And kindly tell Ms. Barbie she can forget about G.I. Joe... he's mine, at least that's what he said last night.


Sincerely, Ken

I would have to agree with the first post in the sense of all social movements not knowing when to quit. Growing up, I can forsee many difficulties in being a white male. Now obviously many skeptics will say, "you have the world handed to you, blah blah." And while financially and educationally I am better poised than many, theres another side to it:
First of all, I am the scapegoat for all social injustice in the world. If I become the boss somewhere and fire someone from a job, they had better not be female or anything but caucasian or I will have the race/gender card pulled on me. Many people will consider anything I earn or achieve to have been spoon fed to me and I will get less credit, because the previous generation of white males simply passes the reins of power on to me. Basically, many will underappreciate my achievements and consider my sufferings less valuable because I can re-purchase happiness. Maybe I am just paranoid, but I can feel these kinds of thoughts all around me.

As a rich, educated white male myself, I can attest to the fact that you are being a cry-baby. I don't mean to be harsh, but you really need to stop bitching about how hard it is to have power over everyone else. Today, everyone gets discriminated against for some reason or another, its just that finally white men are being discriminated against as well. You should be happy to finally be part of the club. Now you are getting a tiny taste of what it feels like to be everyone else. Think about that.

I am saying it has gone too far in the opposite direction. People are too sensetive to race/gender issues. Things should be color blind. It bothers me to see people twist once-genuine social movements for their own personal gain. I don't like seeing a white male teacher put in an awkward position when he disciplines a student and the student says, "its cuz im Mexican." I never meant that I had things hard, in fact I tried to emphasize that I do not and will not. Rather, I just get to be blamed for what those before me did. Anyways, this no longer has to do with feminism that much, except that feminism has become another vessel for a group of people to gain equal rights in certain areas and then keep going.

Then the teacher really ought to be taken care of. But you can usually tell when someone is getting singled out, or if they are just a straight up dick and they are the only one causing trouble and trying to capitalize on their race/gender

Yeah, "you" can tell, assuming you were there in the moment, but what about the administrators? What if they are thinking, just like you were... 'just another damn kid trying to pull the race card...'

And what if they never thought that, and always gave the kid the benefit of the doubt? They're would be an even greater shortage of teachers than there already is.

I don't think we will really get anywhere if we keep going into "what ifs."

I ovbiously think diversity is a good thing, but like any good thing it frustrates me more than anything to see it twisted into a tool for self-gain.

You know for the most part I hear you Yankees up north blabbering on about racism, a hell of a lot more than Anyone complains about it in texas. A man is a man in texas, the only sorts that get discriminated against in texas are crybabbies like cubert, and they come in all colors.

Women get a pretty short stick in Texas as well, but its not really that bad. Its more of a sexual harrasment "discrimination"(if you can really call it that, most guys down here call it a compliment) attitude than a women are inferior one.

Either phrase translates into "I want to fuck you" Here in texas women have figured out that it doesnt matter what a man says hes always thinking the same thing. Maybe they dont understand that elsewhere.

Seems to be quite an indictment of the endowment of Lone Star menfolk. Perhaps that's why they're Lone Stars, all "Loning" off at their computer screens. Big state, small schwanz. Universal balance. Ommmm.

I'm a lonestar man folk zappa, and I say we treat women like the sexy ladies they are. Up north I have no doubt there would be endless lawsuits, but down here people are more forgiving. Thats the point.

and whoever said that women get treated like royalty up there is right. We may continually "sexually harass" our women, but they do get treated like the hot queens they are. Mothers make sure of that in our state. Peace
