Thank you, feminism.















...for another destructive misunderstanding.

THE BACKGROUND: For hundred of years, women were happy being beautiful and elegant. Men were happy being strong and brave. These qualities being attractive to each other's genders, love and marriage often followed.

Those men who were not strong and brave tried to learn or became gynecologists.

Those women who were not beautiful and elegant started feminism.

THE PROBLEM: Since these women were neither beautiful nor elegant, and had no interest in becoming so, they decided to fuck up the whole system by renaming everything. "Strength" became "chauvinist-tyranny." "Beauty" became "slutty." And liking beauty was renamed "objectifying."

But feminism wasn't content to make everything confusing as hell. After all, "female-empowerment" isn't about gender equality. It's about... well, female power.

So to make women not only "as-good-as" but, in fact, "better" than men - the last few generations have been raised by the following creed:

"(A) Sex and sexuality are base creations of the male desire for control. Men who want sex are therefore less respectable than men who pretend not to. (B) Women are not sexually motivated and never have been. We like it alright, but we choose our partners in more sophisticated ways - personality, character, and depth of friendship."

THE IMPACT: Today's men have grown up thinking this is how women see men--













When in reality, women basically see men like this --
















What does that get us? A society full of men, afraid to "make a move" for fear they haven't gotten high enough on the "friends" scale - and women who act shocked when their guy-bff's wind up broken-hearted.

This post is in preemption of the upcoming movie, "The Ugly Truth." Credit for the first image and impending shit-storm of female misunderstanding and Gerard Butler obsession belongs entirely to the film.

  1. Absolutely. Men would do well by giving off the "I wanna bang you" vibe instantly to all women regardless of level of interest so it becomes automatic. Women put you in one or the other category early on. If you don't demonstrate clear interest within a few minutes of meeting her, in all likelihood she'll think you don't like her and then be all surprised if you reveal yourself later. Women, I think, view this as a deception as they are under the misinformed impression that men and women can be friends just like she can with the gay guy. News for you honey: he wouldn't bother being your friend if he didn't want in your panties, the poor deluded chump.

  2. This is a simplistic analysis, though it sounds lovely on the surface. Women who were high in society -- like Edith Wharton who had money, education and elegance actively championed feminism and divorce. Women from wealthy families wanted in to universities so they could have careers that money could buy them. Why, they could AFFORD to be feminists. And Edith Wharton could support herself with her writing.

    We who would like to be ladies nowadays are often laughed at.
