The anti feminist manifesto

I quit subscribing to feminist doctrine he minute it became so radicalized. Many radical feminists, like #BlackLivesMatter activists, are mere breaths away from becoming domestic terror organizations. The hardline ideologies of these groups eerily resemble many of the conspiracies of dictatorships past, seeking to divide rather than unite.

For those who need a Social Sciences 101 refresher, feminism was intended to bring about the “political, social, and economic equality of the sexes.” Increasingly, I get the sense that that spirit has been abandoned in favor of Black Panther-like tactics to promote female empowerment — a down-with-men rhetoric which  ignores the unique hardships men also face.

After all, it’s not heterosexual males using lesbians as accessories, but rather heterosexual females commodifying gay and bisexual men. Likewise, the most ardent and vocal feminists seem to be white academics who are afforded the privilege of voicing their opinions from the safety and comfort of the ivory tower, or at home behind their computer screens with their hashtags and retweets.

Indeed, white feminism seems to be a peculiar form of gender dysphoria or perhaps body dysmorphia, wherein otherwise able-bodied and competent young women cast themselves as “gender fluid and transgender” in an attempt to seek refuge from the influence of  the patriarchy at the expense of genuinely transgender and/or gender fluid people everywhere.

Never mind the peculiar contradiction of being both gender fluid and transgender, a logical fallacy, seeing as transgenderism is necessarily based on the male/female binary.

Radical feminism seems to focus solely on the aspects of male possession of women within a vast network of inescapable patriarchy. They fail to recognize the importance of female influence within the confines of a heterosexual relationship. In marriage, a wife may be her husband’s greatest confidant and support system through all of life’s hardships.

Additionally, emotional privilege remains the domain of the feminine. We cannot fault men for expressing themselves as carnal creatures — we have been conditioned to measure ourselves against other men upon a spectrum of sexual conquest and professional success. Emotional authenticity has never been valued by culture at large. Men by and large remain emotionally repressed, suffering in silence, as they were raised to, “Shut up and take it like a man.”

Men constitute an alarmingly high risk of suicide, with three male victims for every female victim, precisely because of these enforced stereotypes.

It is less socially acceptable for men to explore their feelings, their impulses, and their sexuality while, at the same time, being held to the standards proffered in fitness magazines and pornographic films.

Medically, American men constitute the only demographic in the developed world where genital mutilation is not merely advocated but encouraged. I suppose there would be a furor if American doctors advocated removing the clitoris as is custom in many undeveloped nations.

In the workplace as well, radicalized white feminists make the case that their dollar is worth $0.22 less than a man’s. However, when we examine that claim, it seems that education and ethnicity — already intimately related socioeconomic factors — have more to do with a woman’s worth than the mere status of her genitalia. White feminists, from the safety of their Tumblr pages, largely seem to be whining at the expense of hard-working hispanic and black single mothers everywhere, who make (and keep) far less than their caucasian counterparts.

Of course, these thoughts don’t matter much, seeing as they are coming from a Cis-White-Male, the most popular pejorative used to negate arguments which counter the illogical hatred of radicalized feminists everywhere. It should be noted that in rhetoric circles, this form of shutting down an argument is nothing more than an ad-hominem attack on the speaker and not actually a valid counter to the points.

Perhaps with more moderation and finesse, new-wave feminists will gain more support and acceptance. Until then, they remain alienated with their funny pronouns and haircuts at the expense of true female victims everywhere.
