“It’s
all so unfortunate – for women, not men. Feminism serves men very
well: they can have sex at hello and even live with their girlfriends
with no responsibilities whatsoever.
It’s
the women who lose. Not only are they saddled with the consequences
of sex, by dismissing male nature they’re forever seeking a
balanced life. The fact is, women need men’s linear career goals –
they need men to pick up the slack at the office – in order to live
the balanced life they seek. So if men today are slackers, and if
they’re retreating from marriage en masse, women should look in the
mirror and ask themselves what role they’ve played to bring about
this transformation.”- Suzanne Venker
Another
quote taken from an essay written by one of these stockholm syndrome bitches. Blaming the victim for the actions of the oppressor. Last
time I looked we still live in a patriarchal society. One built by
the very “slackers” who are “retreating” from marriage en
mass as a reaction to virulent “feminism.”
Women
have always been victimized by the consequences of sex. Well before
feminism took shape, men had sex when they wanted it. They married it
and demanded it or raped their girlfriends or other women, when they
chose. Women were always kicked to the curb when men decided they
wanted a new and or younger model. Feminism didn't create that. Men
did. Now they're crying because women, tired of being treated no
better than a retreaded tire, have taken control of their own lives?
Men
are crying about sex and marriage just like old white men are crying
about darkies not knowing their place in society these days. The
world is changing around them, and they, meaning men, are not
“transforming” to deal with modern day relationships and
situations. Some males are acting like spoiled children who no
longer are being given their way and have decided to hold their
breath and turn blue to demonstrate their displeasure.
Or
they sit back and watch the girl on girl action while women such as
Venker write books, work in the real world, be the bread winner in
their households, and take every advantage that feminism grants them,
bashing all other women who strive, without calling themselves
feminists. It's like wiggers or gay republicans, making a life co
opting other minority cultures but running for the safety of
whiteness when shit hits the fan. Venker and her stepford wife
sisters hide behind their trophy husbands ignoring the fact that
almost all traditional marriages are not the stuff of fairytale and
legend. They've just found out a way to make it work. But isn't that
what feminism teaches all women about life in general?
As
women change and gain success in the business world and world in
general, they are not willing to settle for mates who are little more
than bigger versions of their children, rather than partners in life.
Some men, are refusing to step up to the plate and to grow.
What
feminism means is that women no longer will settle when there is a
better life visible on the horizon. Some would prefer to share that
life with men, others are willing to seek it out without them, having
sex and raising children on their own terms, primarily because
feminism has taught them they can afford it emotionally and
financially and they deserve it. Period.
