Message: <blockquote data-quote="Snarky Oracle!" data-source="post: 88039" data-attributes="member: 57984">Let's face it: if you're a dreadful, horrible person -- but you've got a vagina -- aren't you going to passionately embrace (as long as it doesn't sexually harass you) an ideology which assumes you're the righteous victim 100% of the time without exception, and claims that you, as a women, are blamed for everything as a rationale and a cover for your not being blamed for anything? And where your angry, disapproving, mother-ish contempt for men is completely socially acceptable and presumed justified while men's hatred of you is also assumed -- and assumed unjustified?And that all of that desperately matters, all of the time?I don't take much personal offense to it, but it's just so exhausting -- even from a distance, which is where I try to stay from it... There's the endless "look at me! look at me!" element to it, too.It's vaguely humorous to hear these very young girls, giddily energized by the notion that they've got an eternal scapegoat in the other gender, and who haven't witnessed the turnover of generations of quasi-feministic rhetoric over the decades, proudly asserting that "if you're against feminism, then you're just against equality!" as if late third wave has anything to do with women's rights or equality.Which is why it's important that sexual harassers, and in fact all criminals, be seen as metaphors for all men. "'Male' is the root of 'malevolent'."I've witnessed conversations about sexual harassment and rape where the mention of men's victimization was met with a "yeah, but that's done by other men" (which we know isn't true, especially with all the stories coming out recently about all the female middle school teachers banging their male students) as if a boy's victimization is neutralized by the fact that his victimizer is also male, the point even being made that he'd just grow into a victimizer himself anyway, so it doesn't matter.And what about men who actually do hate women? Has it crossed anybody's mind that some of them may have a reason? We certainly don't questions women's hatred of men or the reasons for it; it's considered self-evident.And when statistics on victims of violence show that the whole world is in fact not a "safe space" for men, the media and the culture just ignore them or don't report them. As Hillary Clinton has said, "women are the biggest victims of war," and the sentiment is uncontested. Sally Field, who I like, receives her Emmy and wails, "if mothers ran the world, there would be no wars!" as if we've seen the data on that study, the sanctity of women and their innate nurturing (even while they're being raped, mind you) not even in question.  I'm no defender of guys -- I don't find most of them to be all that admirable either. But among all the awful, repugnant, sadistic people I've ever known, at least half were women. And they were better at it. And, what's more, we all know it.So this 24/7 mantra of "men=bad; women=good" has long since revealed itself to be not simply an error or a sociological miscalculation occurring as we attempt to acknowledge and correct certain behaviors, but something more sinister.Unfortunately, a lot of the men who have come to recognize the scam that's going on with feminism today, respond to it by embracing conservative ideology politically, their viewing the hypocrisies of the female-entitlement-while-she's-victimized dynamic as coming from the political left. When in fact both sides of the political fence are, in the parlance of the present, equally gynocentric. And he doesn't recognize the equal scam of Trickle Down Economics coming from the political right.But all legitimate and necessary social movements eventually do this. And it's actually a good sign: it means the movement has essentially achieved its original goals and has saturated the culture. Because once that has happened, and because these movement don't then go away, the offenses and victimy stuff have to become increasingly absurd and selective and indulgent (e.g., the right to vote versus manspreading, the right to own property versus redesigning men's rooms so they can't stand and urinate -- even in a stall) in order to keep that movement energized and relevant.And that includes pretending you're 'blamed for everything' to assure that no one is free to blame you at all.I mean, they don't even want Eve blamed for that apple thing.<img src="http://theglorystory.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Adam-Eve-06-600x600.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
