Eve Ensler: Girl power can save the world

Article here. Excerpt:

"The future is "girl." Imagine girl is a cell that each of us -- boys and girls -- are born with. Imagine this girl cell is central to the evolution of our species and an assurance of the continuation of the human race.

Now imagine that a few powerful people, invested in owning this world, understood that the oppression of this cell was key to retaining their power, so they reinterpreted this cell, undermining its value and making us believe that it is weak. They initiated a process to crush, eradicate, annihilate, humiliate, belittle, censor, reduce and kill off the girl cell.

This was called patriarchy.

Imagine that girl is the part of each of us that feels compassion, empathy, passion, intensity, association, relationship, emotion, play, resistance, vulnerability, intuitive intelligence, vision.

Imagine that compassion informs wisdom. That vulnerability is our greatest strength. That emotions have inherent logic and lead to radical saving action."

Right there on CNN, smack dab in the middle of MSM-ville. In case you have any doubt about MSM's sexism against men and masculinity, just read this.

Imagine an article talking about how boy power would save the world with its emphasis on the creative and innovative nature of the male mind, etc. etc. Would it get any press time?

Her article says among other things:

"The state of girl, the condition of girl -- in the world and in us -- will determine if this species survives."

This is the kind of mental state that allows men in places like Haiti to go left unfed.

Replace "girl" with "German" and it is as if it could have come from a Nazi propaganda pamphlet.

I could not agree with you more Matt. If you substituted the word girl for any other racial, religious, or national descriptor it would be considered hate speech.

Oh, and where on Earth are there "rape mines"? I know where there are "blood mines" in parts of the world where BOYS die by the tens of thousands for some cartel's ambition for pretty rocks - who's market value is determined by FEMALE desire for them.

Seriously, this woman is insane. Her most recent ramblings are so asinine and absurd that I don't know how anyone can take her seriously, let alone a MSM website like CNN.

This woman is so delusional that she needs professional help. She has no business speaking about gender issues as she's so far out of touch with the reality of how men and women really relate that it's pathetic. She exemplifies how gender feminists have no business pressuring lawmakers to write misandristic laws that do society so much damage.

She makes as much sense as a certain character named Thomas Fullery who thinks he's the Chief Patriarch of the Patriarchal Republic of New Deseret (formerly Utah), and that he's at war with mutant zucchini. And at least our friend Thomas is happy in his world and isn't doing nearly as much damage.

Agreed, Ensler is insane, and agreed, Ensler is engaged in spewing great amounts of misandric hate speech. But the question really is: ***WHY*** are women listening to her? We MRAs need to address that. We need to speak to the part of women that feels as though adopting Ensler's views will in some way help them. Of course these women are wrong in the long run, although they may have some short term victory (for instance a job promotion that they didn't deserve, a promotion offered to shut them up). Why are women still responding positively to Ensler's books, plays, and rants?

How ironic that I didn't feel any of those qualities emanating from this article. I did feel resistance and emotion, with a heaping of intensity, however. Much like my real-world experience with today's westernized women, particularly in the workplace.

I suppose that repeating, 'we're so compassionate, caring, and intelligent, blah, blah, blah' enough times while stabbing you in the back creates some weird mental issues eventually, as seen in this article.

Now imagine one of these cells raped another one and called it a good thing.
