Feminism
i realised i have a lot of things to say but i HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO START
anyway, hey from me
parts of these may seem like they don't make sense or contradict each other. most likely because these are just fragmented wide-ranging views that i have about this topic and never really got around to connecting them. and you know trying to make sense.
i have a really strong feeling that the feminist movement won't likely ever succeed, as in the modern one, like the third or something. basically its' because (i think) girls don't know what the hell they want. or in an attempt to get more language marks, they do not have a universal set of goals and targets that they can set out to achieve.
in case that was a little hard to understand, here's a little analogy. imagine you're a minority and you have been marginalized for a very long time. you have been denied rights that should be deemed equal for all human beings but yet find yourself living without them. so you know, after maybe, some guy says this awesome speech or after a barfight where everyone just got really drunk, BOOM, you find out that there's actually a movement out there to right the wrongs that you have been suffering all your life. so everyone's all protesting and shit, and you know what, they all have a somewhat sketchy idea of what they want. basically equality and stuff that i would proceed to bore you with if i went through listing them, but i won't. because i'm merciful.
so anyway, that's at least how a movement starts. and the problem with the feminist movement is that they have no fucking clue what they want. i mean the first and the second were great and all, getting you ladies into jobs and schools say that we have hot chicks in uniforms to look at. but that's pretty much where everyone just have no clue where else to go from. some chicks go no we don't want to be objectified in ads anymore, and then the others go, we're just so very proud of our sexuality that we just want to do porn and be prostitutes for fun. then here's the point you go, " wow Nil, you magnificent little princess, is that the only thing where chicks are all estrogeny about?" of course not, silly little internet person. there are of course those, if i may borrow from Cracked, chronicly offended, at FUCKING EVERYTHING. "fucking is being used here as adjective and not literally sexing up everything. See, we can be educational too!
anyway, feminism right now is being so screwed up because of this clash of ideals. because no one has a clear idea of what equality really means. unlike obama. if you want to start off with the PG-13 stuff, some girls actually like guys who are gentlemanly, you know open the doors, shift the chairs, say thank you, non-douchebag behaviour. but some actually criticise them for being condescending, saying like "i can do it for myself, you chavinistic pig, exclamation mark" i have absolutely no idea where she got that idea from. is she like saying that these gentlemanly guys are going that extra mile just to get in their pants or something, because somewhere that chain of thought doesn't make sense. why go to all that trouble when all you need to do is be a jerk and girls will be drooling over you. which is another thing that i find really disturbing, because girls don't go for the nice guys, they always end up in the "friend-zone". i'm sure you all have stories of those fairytale ending types, but stop being so narcissitic and over-attentive to yourself, the men are talking about the real world here.
then you have the objectification in ads. this is lip service most often paid by people who study any form of arguing above high school. they just go "oh look at that provocative posture, how can you exploit women like that." which i find really stupid because number 1, these are mainly ads that cater to the male demographic and 2, men are chavinstic pigs. objectification of women happens because there's money to be made, guys are easily swayed over by boobs and tight and/or no clothes. remember that everytime you go up to a guy with a flag day donation tin. is it unfair? probably, but think about it, why does objectification of men so much less prevalent. then honestly think about it, would you buy a product, if it was advertised by a guy showing off his gigantic eyes. probably not. there is virtually no scenario where showing off penii will ever get more customers, except maybe the porn industry. but with that said, that doesn't mean that there is no objectification whatsoever. right now the koreans are perfecting the technique with 12 men flailing their hands and feet to a rhythm, they call them super junior. which i find disturbing and mildly gay. it's like in the back of your mind, you're wondering, there has to be at least 2 of them that are gay and making out behind the scenes.
and THEN you have the women who enjoy doing porn and prostitution. some women actually believe that by alloing such women to do so, they would undermine what they have tried to achieve all these years. which i kinda get, but yet at the same time find very ridiculous. it's a very contradicting feeling when you actually feel that both parties are right at the same time. think about it, if say i really enjoyed blowing balloons (this is not a metaphor, it was just the first thing that entered my mind) and some other guys would be saying that hey don't blow balloons, you'll make us look gay. and i'm like what? i enjoy blowing balloons and i'm not hurting anyone. so i'm kinda on the fence about this one. on one hand, it would tarnish the image of strong independent women that they're trying to cultivate, but on the other hand, i'm a chavinistic pig.
i mean, i can't say for certain that women will never achieve equal rights, but i'm positive that their idea of "equal" will change so many times that they will lose track of it. the reason that feminism is so unlike other movements like gay rights and african american rights and even animal righs is that its not possible to say that one is "equal" to another in all aspects. i can say that i am as equal to a gay man as i am to a black guy, because we have no conflicting ideologies or practices. feminism is so much more complex, because men are fundamentally different. we are biologically wired to tap that. and what that means is that one party will find a way to get into the other's pants, and they will say or do anything to get there. so while the woman is saying "equal rights!" all the guys are hearing "blablabla get me a diamond ring and i'll fake it like i've never faked it before" ( a line taken from sinfest).
we are biologically wired to approach women differently from how we would approach a black dude or a gay guy or even a puppy. that's just how we are. shallow chavinistic pigs. and i don't even know what chauvinistic means.
