Its not often I write on the fanaticism in some branches [emphasis on some] of feminism,
simply because, usually its the Other end that I see, in other words, those who don't ever Want to challenge the status quo or those who do, who have been rebuked by the patriarchal system and in fear retreat back, or many not so much fear but for survival...
but I am going today, vent some, about what I feel is the Fanatical Feminist, and I can't really say they are so much feminist as they are just flat out
MAN HATERS.
And yes, there Are such women who are notoriously MAN HATERS, and I will be just as upfront about the Evil of hating Men, as much as its Evil to hate women.
Misandry is just as evil and deplorable as misogyny...its no different than racism, classism and anti-semitism,
the beliefs that a human is by birth evil and dispicable and should be done away with or shunned from humanity is in fact, yes, EVIL.
Its the same mentality that drove those who killed six millions Jews, the same mentality that drove those to butcher and mass rape Bosnians, the same mentality that drove those to cut to pieces people, men women and children in Rwanda, Cambodia, Uganda, etc...
Just because its Women, doesn't make it any less evil...
and I for one, am sick to death, of women who literally HATE men.
NOT ALL MEN RAPE
NOT ALL MEN ARE RAPISTS
NOT ALL MEN ARE PEDOPHILES
NOT ALL MEN ARE BUTCHERS, MURDERERS, HATERS, AND DESTROYERS...
let it be said for the record...
and NOT ALL WOMEN ARE VICTIMS
NOT ALL WOMEN ARE SAINTS
NOT ALL WOMEN ARE PURE AND HOLY
AND IN FACT
WOMEN CAN AND DO RAPE
WOMEN CAN AND DO MOLEST CHILDREN
WOMEN CAN AND DO KILL, STEAL, AND DESTROY
this notion that women are these pure saints ONLY tainted by the evil penile man is just Fanatical and it should not be tolerated within the feminist movement simply because
it goes Beyond wanting Human Rights for Women, it goes beyond wanting Equal Rights,
it goes into something very dark and sinister and in fact, IF you take the time and peel away the layers of those who promote such fanaticism
they are JUST AS OR MORE ABUSIVE TO OTHER WOMEN, MAYBE MORE SO, OFTEN MORE SO, THAN MEN ARE.
correction, SOME MEN ARE.
I have to say, this above is one reason I got sick and tired of the feminist movement,
you either had the women who wanted to save their 'class' and their privilege asses and were more than willing to sacrifice women on the altar to do so
OR
you get the other extremes, the Nationalists that are hell bent on women's rights IF its only for their race
or the political or religious who are the same way...
but then, you get the fanatics, the ones who, by golly if you haven't butchered your son and if you have ever let a man near you well you are a traitor to woman kind and all that nonsense,
and I am just sick of it...it infuriates me.
I have a son and daughters, let me state for the record
my son is human, he cries, he hurts, he fears and he loves. He was not born as some penile throbbing monster just out to destroy women...
and my daughters, as far as I can tell, do not have Halos nor do they have Angel wings, and they are Just as capable of cruelty, horrid meaness and spite...
have I seen the influences of patriarchy? Sure I have,
I've also seen the influences of racism, classism, religious fanaticism, prejudice, snobbery, cold blooded callousness and insensitivity.
But you see, male and female, they are INDIVIDUALS, no matter what the influences are or how strong they are, they Still have choices,
they can either Go with the crowd or they can choose not to, and Yes, the price often is a very high one to go against the crowd and let me say something else,
its far harder for a Man to go against the grain of brotherhood and not join in the patriarchal than it is for Woman to go against her sisters,
not that Women won't be persecuted, but often a woman can find solace at Least in one sister,
not so much with Men, for a Man to say, I don't want to be a bully against the gender of women, is to risk more than just ridicule, and NOT just by other men either...
but by women.
Patriarchy is a social order, that yes, benefits men but benefits women in ways too...some women,
but in that light, not All men benefit from patriarchy and feminist will scream other wise but patriarchy like other hierarchies is about power,
and abuse of power, and it would be no damn different if society was arranged in a Matriarchal way,
and on that I'm convinced of.
I deplore classism, but deploring classism and the creation of the underclass does not in any way mean I hate people with incentive, hard work, who have created wealth...
you see, Thats the problem alot with Revolutionary Philosophies, there is a fine line between Revolutionary,
and Fanatical.
Fanatical can't see beyond the victim mentality OR see any good in the other...its always the evil them...against the pure saint us.
And its a load of crap is what it is,
and maybe why I just got fed up with the whole damn mess to begin with and dumped out of politics like I did.
Yes, I get angry, at injustice, cruelty, evil,
and we should, but I think, where we get into a lot of trouble is when we start thinking we have the
CURE
the Final Solution
then, we have become what we hate, and we are JUST like what we are fighting...
anyway, in closing, the issue I have too with the Fanatics, is that they destroy in their hate and fanaticism the Revolution for change, because they go beyond just change,
they want total destruction and a whole new way of things that is so unrealistic and just as hateful and destructive as what they are fighting...if NOT more so,
and they want it by FORCE. By golly they don't just want change, they are going to FORCE CHANGE,
whether one wants it or not,
and Thats not Revolutionary folks
THATS FASCISM,
AND YES, THERE ARE FASCIST FEMINISTS, MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT,
THEY WANT FORCED LESBIANISM, SOME WANT MEN KILLED, SOME WANT ALL BOYS KILLED, AND THEY WANT AN ALL FEMALE WORLD,
Absurd, thats what it is, absurd,
and I don't mind saying so...
and as far as I'm concerned,
they aren't any damn different than the hater that wants all Jews killed or all Blacks exterminated or all Women subjugated/enslaved or all Rich killed while the world slaves for a Politburo [who of course is rich]...
its all the same damn shit.
Insanity,
and maybe thats why, it usually works out, that Revolutions, usually turn into some Insane mad man or mad woman, butchering and destroying all they touch...for generations to come.
And why, be careful what you wish for, you might get more than you bargained for...
