Feminism does not represent the final flowering of Western liberalism or of Enlightenment values. Rather, it is an aggressive counter-reaction intended to protect the threatened reproductive and sexual interests of middle-class, middle-aged women in a free sexual marketplace.
Women have completely overturned a 10,000 year + patriarchal system in the space of a generation, and they have done so (in my opinion and the opinion of respected authors such as the anthropologist Lionel Tiger) as soon as they needed to. That is, when the introduction of the contraceptive pill in the 1960′s revolutionised the dynamics of the sexual marketplace and impelled women to take on an independent political and economic role to secure their reproductive needs.
Yet, having a society base its morals and social structure upon the primitive reproductive urgings of one sex alone degrades women, degrades men, degrades civilization and, in fact, turns the western humanist world into nothing more than a ‘secular’ and feminised version of an Islamic fundamentalist state under Sharia law.
Actually, men in the west are far worse off than women under Sharia, as at least Islamic law does cater for the basic needs of women (which are largely reproductive). This is why feminists are so reluctant to criticise ‘the oppression of women’ under Islam and often appear to even support it.
Actually as an anti-feminist myself (not an MRA I have to add – I don’t really do the whinging for rights thing, but instead want to see the end of the catastrophic and antisocial militant experiment called feminism… I have to disagree with this.
Sadly under Shariah law women are far worse off than men in the west under feminist laws. The unwillingness of many feminists to adress this for, no doubt, fear of creating religious or racial tension, is simply another example of the bare-faced double-standards of feminism and the sheer laziness of the vast majority of women.
Shariah law does not provide for basic needs for women because it undermines them as human beings in a civilised world. The right to be offered opportunity is not the same as handing extra rights to people on a plate. In a civilised society a man does not have the right to tell a woman how to dress. Women should also understand that dressing in a way which shows off her body is going to attract attention – you can hate this all you want but this is the way we work. Wearing a wonder bra will draw attention to your breasts, and be honest this is the reason you wear it – to enhance the look of your breasts.
In a Shariah state a woman is not allowed a great deal of standard human freedoms. I really should not have to beat my wife because she didn’t follow my word. I should not be able to force her to stay in the house and follow my rules.
The old English system was on the face of it perfect, but still manages to rile feminists. Men were in charge of the families status and money. Women were in charge of the home and family. Despite propaganda about the sexism of earlier times, women were afforded very special privilages.
Feminism is not about ‘advancing’ women, or ‘protecting rights’ nor even about ‘protecting women from male dominance and abuse’ as many believe. It is simply another pressure group who want something for nothing at the expense of everyone else (men and non-feminist women combined), who leech off of other womens natural fears and temptations and laziness (face it women often give up and want things easier than men do – it’s part of our natural state for men to do extreme things and focus on power and prowess and women to do less extreme things and focus on dilligence and detail). I don’t make the rules on this, I simply study them and account for them – if you don’t like it feel free to adress complaints to Mother Nature – although it might take her a long time to reply and no doubt her reply with be filled with superfluous words to make her sound better than you.
This is wrapped up as some type of super intellectual theorising about social trends simply from using big words – women naturally are better lunguists. However the nuts and bolts of their arguments are generally ridiculous, often pathetic and sometimes downright dangerous.
As a scientist I spend a great deal of time looking and accounting for differences betwen the sexes on genetic and physiological levels. The sheer number of myths which are widely believed by women and even men these days, even along with some doctors (for example ‘women have a superior pain tolerance’, ‘all babies begin in the womb as female’) goes some way to show that feminists simply want all women to be viewed as above men in some way, instead of embracing the differences and thanking God for the fact we even exist due to these differences.
Islamic countries are the other extreme – such as requiring that women need male witnesses to prove a rape, that male doctors may not examine female patients, but female doctors are forbidden, that women should cover themselves as it would be their fault that men ogle them or at extremes attempt or commit rape.
Society has come along way from the paleolithic times, and progressed substantially over the last few hundred years. There is no need to have these medieval laws – it just perpetuates a myth that men attempt to oppress women. Similarly the feminist movement is the most evil kind as it attempt to place women in positions they are inept to fulfill, on the premise of ‘equality’. Going by this logic a surgeon shouldn’t have to pass exams as rigorous as others if they are not as intelligent as it would give an unfair disadvantage – even though it would cost many lives in botched operations.
I will now be as blunt as possible to any feminists reading – women’s boxing and rugby are pathetic affairs, but I have nothing against you playing. Females requiring lower fitness scores in the military suggests that men should only have to reach these levels to if that is all that is required to do the job. Women bitching and moaning in order to get privilages simply does more to oppress women than any amount of BDSM could ever do. And when someone is threatening to stab me and a tiny framed girl shows up when I call the police it shuoldn’t be a wonder why I’m annoyed. I want the big fellow who can take care of himself, and at the very least the 15 stone uber-dyke who wrestles in her spare time.
Equality is about human rights. It is not about defining the person with artificial status. If you don’t like it then you’re perfectly entitled to whinge, but don’t expect me to be listening. I get enough of that from the wife all day.
Lastly the greatest crime of all – feminism is directly responsible for the ‘me me me’ generation. The premise that people (mostly female) can complain and whinge to get things easier. To have things handed to them on a plate or else it ‘isn’t fair’. To be allowed to talk to men however they choose to, and do what they want without consequences, no matter how many problems it causes. It is about juvenile demanding behaviours, and the rotting of social cohesion in favour of the individual based on nothing more than their wants and feelings.
Perish the thought that they should follow the examples of women who actually DID do things – such as Margaret Thatcher, who got to where she was based on her own efforts and not some feminist agenda – and actually put in more effort.
One example springs to mind – the Police Fitness Test in the UK. This has become simply a very VERY easy health check, based on the idea it was biased in favour of men with reagrds strength. The ‘bleep test’ is nothing more than a light jog (done on 15m shuttle runs and not 20m no less), whilst the upper body strength test simply assumes the person in question has arms! You will need that strength to hold onto suspects and criminals. Needless to say alot of women pass these tests for the armed forces and the fire brigade – how? Because women aren’t soft unfit layabouts, just the sort that go into the police who are more concerned with sociology and political correctness are.
I mean if you knew there was a fitness component for the job, you would surely train for it wouldn’t you?
Alas, the vast majority of men wouldn not even need to train for this test.
I shall close this rant by offering some advice to all concerned. Do not base your arguments and philosophies on pure emotions, wants or perceived social ideals. Base them on the notion that the most ideal way of advancing society is the reason hominids are all still existing millions of years on – by embracing differences and using them to their best abilities whilst not endangering everything by pushing the unqualified towards positions they are simply not suited to.
