"25 Feminist Lessons for My Sons"

Submitted by Mastodon on Mon, 2014-10-20 23:04

Article here. Excerpt:

'8. Your penis does not give you superpowers. It is simply part of your anatomy. It makes you human, with all of the pleasures and obligations that the human experience offers.

9. Hold doors open for women. And men, for that matter. Not because of any sexist traditions, but simply because holding the door is kind and polite. It is just good manners. For the same reason, push in your chair and put the toilet seat down.
...
11. Pay for dinner and buy her flowers. Not because that will make her more likely to want sex or fall in love; do it just because it is the nice thing to do.'

Yep, feminism is all about equality until the bill arrives.

The author is apparently a stay-at-home mom who depends on her husband. You know what that's called: patriarchy.

It's just like me and my wife were saying the other day. We find it hilarious that so-called feminists' relationships are far less egalitarian than ours and they act like we need feminism to be more equal. I'm happy to be a resounding counterexample to this idea that without feminism, gender egalitarianism can't exist.

You see, in our relationship we both do half the chores and pay half the bills. Good luck finding a gender ideologue in a relationship like that. Most the time you run into hacks like the dingbat who wrote this article. "I'm feminist, but my husband should support me and pay for everything, and do half the household chores too!"

I'm surprised their heads don't explode from thea cognitive dissonance.

I think the Women's Studies department teaches a class so women who suffer from cognitive dissonance can keep their heads from exploding. I think they read "Alice in Wonderland" and practice believing six impossible things before breakfast. Your taxpayer dollars at work.

Interesting she would say that seeing that feminists and sociologists believe that having a penis is like having this magic force field around you that protects you from life's hardships.
