Haagen Dazs and slant...
this is pandering nonsense.
More feminist agitprop parroted as if it were true.
Anyone who believes in the Male Patriarchy theory of feminism is simply unschooled.
Women's options were limited by biology, by childbirth... not by men.
Society was as it was because BOTH Men and Women had to cope with the fact of nearly all women having babies.
The women's suffrage movement did not really change anything because it failed to address this central reality. Women having the vote had almost zero effect on women's roles in society.
Only after the Birth Control Pill was developed, was it even societally possible for women to have the same KIND of lives as men.
And I especially take issue with Haagen's claim that feminine and masculine energy are "equal" and then in the next breath stating that a man could not do what a woman can do naturally.
Women were designed to carry and birth babies... sure it has its drawbacks... but I watched my ex-wife give birth to two sons and she never had so much as an aspirin... and was up and walking 10 minutes after the birth...
Women have mythologized birth because they can get away with it...
But I can tell you that, if men had to carry babies, THEY would be built for it, too.
I know you young guys feel you need to spout this propaganda to get laid... that if you don't parrot the women are "just as good if not better" line, and the "gosh darn our evil male forebears" crap then you will be made to suffer by women....
But please... don't fall for it. Don't start believing it.
For most of human history, society evolved into the form that worked best.
And once the Pill was invented, once the ground rules changed, Women got everything they wanted in ONE generation.
Why? Because women, in aggregate, dictate how men should behave if they want to get laid.
They got what the majority of women wanted BEFORE the Pill... and they got what the majority of women wanted AFTER the Pill.
They only real difference is in what they were asking for.
You sir are one of the chauvinist beasts I spoke of earlier.
You believe it makes me less of a man or a man afraid for me to say what I said about male patriarchy. I don't say it out of fear of being made "to suffer by women". I say it because I'm smart enough to know what happened historically, wise enough to know it was REALLY fucked up, and enlightened enough to know that the mistakes of the past don't need to continue today.
Just because human history evolved into the form that worked best at that time...DOESN'T MAKE THAT FORM RIGHT. It just means that barbaric humanity was still in stages of development, and didn't understand the proper way of existence, and so engaged in what it's limited mind could understand, no matter how primitive, barbaric, or evil it could be.
What does a pill have to do with anything??? What the fuck makes you think women wanted to be practical SLAVES to their men before the pill. What the hell makes you think that just because women back then couldn't control child birth, they were anymore content to sit in a house, raise children, be a slave to a man, be ruled over, and in some cases abused and treated like cattle/livestock by men. Most times, most women who were in a position to tell their story, whether by film in the 1900's, or by literature in the pre-1900's, expressed a quiet and sad resignation to the roles forced on them by the dominant, barbaric male.
LIKE I SAID, men and women are equal. They need to be promoted as equal. This is not feminist antiprop, it's not anything but the truth. And they should have had the freedoms, rights, and equality they have now since the dawn of time. But man is such a barbaric creature, it's amazing how long it's taking us to achieve true enlightenment.
What you mean I'm promoting feminist agitprop as true. Moron I'm a dude. I have a penis. I play football in college. If anyone isn't a feminist...it me.
It is you who is unschooled. And the only thing worse than a man who is unschooled, is a man who would go around speaking with cold determination his lies.
I'm not promoting anything but truth.
Men and woman are equal, and that's the bottom line.
And yes I said women can do things men can't do in relation to childbirth. Absolutely. LMFAO @ men could carry babies well. WE AREN'T TALKING ABOUT SHOULD-A, COULD-A, WOULD-A's. We're talking about REALITY!!! And let's see you sit down with a child inside you for nine months. Could you do it. ABSOLUTELY NOT. And yea...DUH...we know you're not naturally built for it. But does that change the bottom line that you can't? NO IT DOESN'T. You can't. You aren't built for it. And it's something you can't do. And it requires a strength that you can't muster and natural abilities you don't possess. And that's the end.
LMFAO @ women have mythologized childbirth.
THEY CREATE A NEW HUMAN BEING INSIDE THEM IN LESS THAN A YEAR'S TIME, CARRY IT, SUPPORT IT, AND RELEASE IT AND IT DEVELOPS INTO A NEW, FULLY FUNCTIONAL HUMAN BEING...THEY EVEN CREATE MEN!!!! *Gasp* THE VERY MEN WHO YOU THINK ARE SO MUCH HIGHER...
...If that isn't worth to be mythologized, then I don't know what is. What would you have mythologized? If the fact that a woman can create a new life, spirit, and being isn't worthy of mythologization to you, then your mythologies, dear sir, are quite worthless to me.
And I was hoping that the fact that there are things men can do than women can't should have been obvious. I didn't think I needed to state that if I was pushing equality...but I guess some things aren't obvious even when they're shining as bright as the sun through a telescope. Or perhaps too much retinal burn has blinded you. Meh...
The Male Patriarchal society is EXACTLY why women suffered roles of subservience. Because men thought they were greater than women. They thought since there were the dominant gender, that they should rule over women. They thought women were their slaves. To create their babies and receive their orgasms. Just a walking vagina, house cleaner, and baby maker. We can even look at the movies from before 1940. Read books from a century ago and before even. And we can CLEARLY see that women were oppressed in a subservient role TO men, BY men, and were denied right BY men, and knocked down a peg BY MEN. If that isn't Male Patriarchy...then I don't know what is.
All this however is irrelevant at the end of the day. What is the bottom line is this:
Men and women need to be equal.
Men should be able to sit at home, raise the kids, take care of the house, just as woman should.
And women should be able to go get power jobs, run for office, lead, take control of, and have power just as well as men should.
THIS IS NOT THE AGE OF LUCY AND RICKY RICARDO. This is the age of Oprah Winfrey. And hell, even in the age of Lucy and Ricky, Lucille Ball was the real powerhouse of that relationships. RKO anybody??? Last time I checked, at the height of her career she was sitting at the head of the table of her company, business, and television show...even while she was FORCED by male patriarchal society to act like a bumbling idiot whining crying housewife, who good for nothing but being a cum-receptacle to Ricky, having his babies, and cleaning his house while he came home and talked down to her and put her in her role. But realistically, we know who wore the pants in that relationship. And historically many women have acted as a cornerstone for men, even while being forced to maintain the outward illusion of their role.
This is not the age where a woman is subservient to a man. This is not the age where a woman is a slave to a man and has no rights. Humankind, very slowly, is becoming an enlightened species. And letting go of the barbaric ideals like racism, sexism, classism and all those other bullshit ism's people like you would like to see in power.
It's a done deal. Feminism hasn't gone to far. It went just as far as needed to go in order to put women where they need to be: ON THE SAME LEVEL AS A MAN.
As I said, you can't have a full circle, if the yin is larger than the yang. The circle is out of balance then. This is a universe of balance, control, and harmony.
If you can't see balance, and harmony, there's something wrong with you.
I'm not promoting feminist anything. I'm promoting enlightenment.
This isn't the 40's dude. Let it go.
