I want your opinions on this, to clarify whether you agree or not. It is very long but I think it's worth reading. The scary thing is...I believe what he is saying.
Article:
Guys, this one is long. I'm going to point-out only a fraction of the whole pile of sexist bull**** that women feed us ALL. Only thing is: women don't want you to think that it's sexist bull****. Oh, no- they want you to think that sexist bull**** is 'equality' and that it's yummy! Let me tell you... the examples in this essay are proof-positive that women have taken the concept of 'equality' and turned it inside-out! They've taken 'equality' and twisted it like a damned balloon-animal!
And it's very simple how it happens: Women define the concept of sexism strictly from their point of view.
A woman's idea of sexism in the world today was created entirely by women, for women. Their idea of sexism is about all the unfair things that men do to women. It doesn't include one of the unfair things that women say, think or do to men. Not one. It is blind to anything from a man's point of view. Women are totally unaccountable, because they never consider the bad things they do to men. Period.
The idea of women's equality was created by women... so whose benefit is it for? At whose expense? Who controls the agenda? And why are they allowed to clamor for more privileges while giving-up none of their own? 'Equality for women' actually means 'we pick new privileges for us, while we keep all the old privileges we already have.'
It sounds to me like you're bashing women who want equal rights!
Demanding "equal rights" while failing to assume equal responsibilities IS demanding privileges, you moron!
The next time you hear a woman say she 'wants equality', ask her: which privileges does she intend to give-up? I guarantee, she will look at you like you're nuts for even thinking such a thing.
Women have made such tremendous strides in the arenas of money and political power- even to the point where men discriminate against other men to make more room for women. But men have been allowed almost no progress toward equality in the areas of reproductive rights, human relationships or even speaking our minds without fear of being belittled!
You think men are unfair? Listen guys: it is because we are perfectly fair that we listen to women rant on and on about how we're not! When you try to suggest to a woman that her gender's behavior is unfair, you will typically smack-into a wall of vehement denials and the insistence that you must be the one with all the problems. Why is gender-bigotry only acceptible when it comes from a woman's mouth? Why is gender-bias only acceptible if it elevates a woman? Why is it a woman won't tolerate any double-standard that doesn't favor her? Why is it that if you won't discriminate in favor of a woman, then it means you are sexist?
Women complain about men a lot, so there must be something legitimate behind the complaint, right? But chew on this idea: say that you have a poor laborer living in a sweatshop with a broken fan. Now, say that you have a guest in a luxury hotel with broken air-conditioning. Which one is more likely to complain? A complaint reflects the wants and expectations of the complainer, not the actual circumstances of the complainer!
We are living in the sweatshop. They are living in the hotel. At your expense, I might add. Only thing is: from their point of view, they're not living a hotel... because a real hotel has air-conditioning, doesn't it?!?
Chauvinism and Doublespeak
Women seem to have a selective interpretation of the English language. Ask any woman: what is the mental image you get when you hear the word 'chauvinism'? Typically, she thinks of some male who disrespects women. In fact, a lot of people think that's what the word 'chauvinism' actually means... being a male pig. This is NOT the true meaning of the word 'chauvinism'! Look it up in the dictionary:
chau·vin·ism n.
Militant devotion to and glorification of one's country; fanatical patriotism.
Prejudiced belief in the superiority of one's own gender, group, or kind.
The word 'male' or 'man' NO WHERE appears in the definition! It's gender-neutral: it just means SOMEBODY who believes in the superiority of their own group or nationality. (You can have American chauvinists, white chauvinists, Hindu chauvinists, etc.) But, the word 'chauvinist' has been so misused over the years, now it is almost universally accepted in English-speaking countries to mean specifically male-chauvinism. A lot of women automatically assume that a chauvinist must be, by definition, a man!
Thusly, the English language has been corrupted to create a negative quality attributed to MEN only, and the original meaning seems to be largely forgotten. If you ever accuse a woman of chauvinism, she will insist that she could never be a chauvinist because she is a woman. Ask her: what does 'chauvinist' mean? 99 times out of 100, they will say 'male pig'. This is incorrect. Get a dictionary, show them the true meaning. (On a similar note, my sister once claimed that the word 'bastard' could not be applied to a female! Again, look it up!)
What's the point of this deceit? George Orwell's illustrated the effect with his concept of 'Doublespeak'. Doublespeak means that you use a euphamistic word for political purposes, usually to hide misuses of power. In the book 1984, doublespeak is a mechanism by which a totalitarian state can confuse its people and disguise its abuses (war is peace, freedom is slavery, etc). It is difficult for a dissident idea to appear if there is a lack of terms with which to express it, so doublespeak serves the purpose of destroying these terms. It dimishes the range of human thought in order to preempt the development of those ideas which might threaten the status quo.
Noam Chomsky, a linguist at M.I.T., once said: "(The terms of doublespeak) have two meanings. One is the dictionary meaning, and the other is a meaning that is useful for serving power — the doctrinal meaning... (doublespeak's) effect is to make it impossible to find words to talk about matters of human significance in a coherent way." (Emphasis mine.)
Doublespeak is one of the tools women employ to add to the pile of bull**** they hide their sexism and suckiness under. It is a smokescreen... she uses it the same way an octopus escapes behind its ink-cloud. This is how a woman can tell boldfaced lies, yet believe she is telling the truth. This is how a woman can be prejudiced, yet believe she is being fair. This is how a woman can confound an attempt to hold her responsible for her wrongdoings by turning the blame back at you. This is how a woman can think that equality is the same thing as a privileged and subsidized existence. This is how a woman can say with conviction that she could never be a chauvinist because a chauvinist must be a man and women just aren't capable of being chauvinists.
A woman refers to 'fairness' and 'equality' only when these things can benefit her. At any other time, she does not use these two words with their dictionary meanings. At any other time, she uses their doctinal meanings instead. For instance, the doctrinal meaning of 'sexism' seems to be: 'whatever arrangement which does not benefit a female'. Therefore, women don't give a damn about inequality whenever it's experienced by a different gender.
This is the principle by which a woman says 'chauvinist' but really means 'male pig'. Whereby 'justice' and 'fairness' both mean 'whatever suits my desires right now.' Whereby 'equality for women' means 'special privileges for women'. Whereby 'respect me' means 'don't question me'. Whereby 'listen' means 'shut-up and agree'. Whereby 'communicate' means 'do as I say'. Whereby 'he and I are compatible' means 'he meets my demands on him'. Whereby 'he's romantic' means 'he gives me things'. Whereby 'I want a sensitive man' means 'I want a man who is only sensitive to what I want, whenever I want'.
Doublespeak has the power to warp conceptual thinking and it provides a woman with the wiggle-room she needs to serve her own power. Maneuverings of this type are how a woman can grab the portfolio of entitlements that is most attractive to her on any given day- and resist scrutiny as she does so. The list of doublespeak goes on and on and on. Whereby 'misogynist' means 'male who criticizes any woman'. 'Blaming the victim' means 'women aren't responsible for what they do'. 'No means no' means 'I want the man to take the heat if I have second thoughts after we have sex'. 'Male-dominated world' or 'patriarchy' or 'oppression of women' all mean 'multi-purpose scapegoat'. 'I like you as a friend' means 'I think you're a chump'. 'You can trust me' means 'I'll tell your secrets to everyone at the nail-salon the first chance I get'.
Doublespeak is meant to confuse us so that when the time comes, we will solemnly decide to act against our own interests for something 'greater' than ourselves: benefitting women. Doublespeak will trick a man into abusing himself and other men- for the sole purpose of proving to a woman how 'masculine' he is. And since a woman believes her own doublespeak propaganda is truth, she can scream and point fingers when things don't turn-out the way she wanted. She'll claim the man is to blame because he refuses to 'listen' and 'communicate'(!)
