Reply #24: Yes, by all means, women don't need an extra boost [View All]

[Woodstock]

Since as we know, the one size fits all approach has served them SO well throughout history (sarcasm intended.) And of course, there is no need to look out for ethinic minorities or the poor or the disabled - that's such an "elitist" phliosophy. No, to be sure, "humanism" will cover everyone's needs - there's no need to make any special efforts on their behalf, as again, we know from history that such efforts are completely unnecessary (sarcasm intended.) But back to women, for now. They've come so far, you might say. So let's do away such "sexist and elitist" notions as efforts on their behalf in particular. I say, we've made a start, but have a long way to go. Imagine if men awoke one day to a world like this:

A world in which no man had ever served as president, nor bothered to run, because he'd know he couldn't be elected. A world in which 90% of the elected representatives are women - and most of the judges are women - and they are all making life or death decisions about his body (yes let's extend this role reversal to men being the ones who bear children.) A law is about to pass that doesn't even take into account danger to a man's health or life. Even basic reproductive costs are not covered by insurance - birth control - yet a pill to increase arousal of women is covered. There was only one male hero in the bible who was left in by the females who ruled and edited it in the past, but only because they changed him into a prostitute. The woman serving as president believes the female apostle in the bible (who didn't agree with Jesus that men and women are equal) - she said women are the leaders and men must follow them - and she is determined to make this philosophy part of the law (she doesn't believe in the separation of church and state, and she is getting her way, both by changing laws and by appointing lots of judges who agree with her philosophy.) A lot is said about religious extremist governments that favor women in other countries, but it's happening right here in our own country. Men are making less than women for the same work. Men's bosses have been mostly women, and if not, then it's for sure that their bosses are women. Women run most of the companies and control the vast majority of the wealth. Men are pictured in the media a full 25% below normal weight, and the odd thing is, most of the time the majority of their clothes are off (while women are fully clothed.) And many of these emaciated men have implants to make them look more desirable to women. Little boys are fainting in elementary school because they aren't eating - they think they are too fat. There's a whole set of sexually demeaning insults set up to put men down that are still tolerated by some women who just don't get it. Men are afraid to walk to his car after dark, even in nice neighborhoods, because he fears he might get raped. Rapes of men occur in alarming numbers every minute of every day. All the other men in history were pretty much wiped off the record, until a few men decided to get together and create Mens Studies programs (that are now being dismantled by female legislators.) It seems like the female president and the 90% female legistlators and all of those female judges don't understand what it's like for him as a man - but what can men do to make them understand? And what about other countries? Not very long ago, men couldn't vote or own property, and in too many places in the world today, similar inequalities exist between men and women. In some countries men can't leave their house, and in some they must be covered from head to foot (in case a woman might find them arousing.) Different laws exist for men and women; sometimes if a woman strays that is fine, but if a man strays, he is ordered to be stoned to death. In some countries, mens' genitals are being cut off just because they are born men (and they won't stray from their wives this way.)
