billyjoebob, why did you have to do that? why did you have to post an article written by one of the most insidious, vile, despicable creatures on the planet? I'm talking, of course, about feminists. i really don't understand how people can believe the crap coming out of that woman's mouth. sure, a lot of what she says makes a kind of sense, but that's because a lot of what she says is just whining about how she isn't sure, and how she's filled with doubt. for fuck's sake, everyone is filled with doubt. it doesn't make her special. what would make her special is if she were able to operate faithfully to the ideals she claims to possess. the best part was when she denegrated "those women" who say, "Well, I believe in equality, but I'm not a feminist." here's a theory: if you call yourself a feminist, you do not believe in equality. the biggest myth about feminism is that it strives for equality. it doesn't. you don't have to analyze past the name of the movement to see this, but people continually miss it, preferring to believe this fantasy that feminists themselves keep trying to perpetuate, even as they campaign for inequality. the word "feminist" contains a reference to the feminine and utterly lacks any reference to the masculine. ergo, the word leaves out half of the perspective. so how is that equality? if you advocate equality, why dont you call yourself an equalist?
my diatribe is over. you may flame me at your will.
but if you want to read a really good article on relationships between men and women as a kind of complement to that other article, go to this URL:
