Was arguing with a girly girl on another site , not the first time I've done so as they truly frustrate and piss me off. They all say exactly the same stupid things in various ways but the bottom line is always the same. They want a man to protect them and provide for them BUT the worst thing of all is they want that man to lead them. I remember a comedian talking about very small children who remarked "you have somebody there who will look you right in the eye while they shit their pants". Well, he's being dumb, trying to get a laugh their kids and we do that at that age but these, these what ever the hell they are are supposed to be grown adults! Are you kidding me? You have someone who will look you right in the eye while they invalidate themselves as legitimate adults. Growing up I never once thought of women as less than me they were just people. As I developed sexually I swooned over women and fantasized about them as heroic scientists , explorers, inventors and the like. I did notice that a lot of men seemed to see them as children or something similar to that anyway. I didn't really pay it much attention it was like some people like cars, some like to drive trucks or vans just a lot of opinions. I thought it was stupid, but I'd seen a lot of stupid before and I ignored it more or less and lived in my world with my opinions. It was much later when the internet came along and it was like everyone's diary was a mouse click away that I begin to see how bad the problem really was. Not just men were writing these things but women as well. It still doesn't quite seem real to me that women would say these things because I had seen them laugh it off so many times as if it were a joke between the sexes. Yet here it is in print , unmistakable , women are writing how they want a man who can "make decisions when I'm unsure" and a million other smiler things.
It's effect on me has been being creeped out , it's hard to describe how it feels to wake up in a world suddenly where many many women I pass on the street or do business with every day are looking at me as some kind of surrogate father figure , that they consider themselves lower than me. A very creepy thing that they might even be turned on by the thought of me and other men around me saving them from some calamity or protecting them or some other such thing all according to the demented ideology of what men are supposed to be. It just becomes creepy when you look at it like that . These women are destroying themselves, disempowering and deligitimizing themselves and somehow I'm caught in the middle of this. If a woman flirts with me at the grocery store what is she really thinking? Suddenly flirting isn't nearly as fun anymore. Is she a woman like I imagined women to be or is she one of these aliens that see men as some kind of father figures there to "take charge" and make everything OK. Hell, being male feels kind of gross now really , I never even thought about my sex much before this new enlightenment.
So, now that I know that not all women are what I thought, that lots of them have truly creepy woldviews about men, my self included, I resolve to just work that much harder for what I believe in. Feminism is basically a highly political cult filled with a bunch of wackos who can't wait to "call someone out" or be "triggered" by something for that moment in the spotlight where they get to play the poor oppressed victim. Not much help there, it's the lesser of two evils at best. So for now I'll call myself and equalist , I believe in gender neutrality and that people are individuals not mere men and women. We're people, not robotic livestock to be assigned roles by society based on which harness they think fits us best.
