In case anyone wasn't sure what was "wrong" with Feminism this is it. An emotional filled rant that goes off on many tangents, most of which are logically incoherent. Although this paragraph is totally unrelated to each other i'll bite:
Sentence by sentence:
If you are unwilling to listen to women when they tell you about their experiences with oppression, don't expect women to listen to you when you voice your own.
It's not a matter of not listening, it's not believing. "Listen" and "Believe" are becoming linked which is a very subtle ploy. This is why people are told to "Listen and Believe" Listening will become synonymous with believing.
I Listen to the Used Car Salesman, I just don't believe him when he says "1 Lady owner"
And any attempt to describe your own experiences or challenge the ones you are told, is met with ridicule and censure.
Look at the little girls who begin to sexualize themselves in first grade. What's this got to do with anything? What exactly is the problem with this? Is it that they are sexualising themselves, or that they are doing it too early?
Look at the little girls who remain demure, passive, who defer to boys, who don't raise their hands in class when they know the answer, who are not told they are smart, but rather pretty, cute, adorable, who grow up believing that their sole value is in their beauty and then become women who develop eating disorders, who get plastic surgery after plastic surgery to keep from appearing too old or too flat-chested, or too busty, or not feminine enough, who modify themselves in myriad ways to fit unrealistic standards of beauty, or who believe they lack worth if they don't have a boyfriend or husband, who believe they lack worth if men don't find them sexually appealing, who get called sluts if they sleep with too many men, who get called prudes if they don't. Women are 4% of CEOs and 8% of top earners.
Holy Run-on sentence Batman! Let me try and break this up into it's related parts.
Look at the little girls who remain demure, passive, who defer to boys
I'm looking, what about them? Your just pointing to a "problem" and doing a Helen Lovejoy impression and bleating to "doooo something"
who don't raise their hands in class when they know the answer, who are not told they are smart,
If you don't raise the your hand when you know the answer then being told they are not smart is a logical conclusion to draw. Knowing the answer is not enough. And being afraid of being singled out in public is not a problem for Girls alone.
but rather pretty, cute, adorable, who grow up believing that their sole value is in their beauty
For a Female child, it is. Part of the transition from a child to an adult is doing something to make yourself valuable. Everyone is worthless to society untill they do something of value. Girls have beauty as an inherent value. They shouldn't be hamstrung and not allowed to use this value.
who get plastic surgery after plastic surgery to keep from appearing too old or too flat-chested, or too busty, or not feminine enough,
It's a value that does not last, why lie to Girls about this? Beauty fades after a decade or two.
who modify themselves in myriad ways to fit unrealistic standards of beauty
Beauty can be determined in a lab, "Beauty" is not an unrealistic standard, Beauty requires you to be skinny. That is not unattainable. You literally have to just not eat in excess.
who believe they lack worth if men don't find them sexually appealing,
This is a harsh truth but, as Women are so fond of telling Men, you are not owed anything. If you have nothing to offer a mate, then by definition you lack worth in the mating game.
who get called sluts if they sleep with too many men, who get called prudes if they don't.
Who calls Women these names? And what does this have to do with anything?
Women are 4% of CEOs and 8% of top earners.
Again, what does this mean? You can't just say something and call it a problem, WHY is it a problem and WHAT specifically makes it a problem?
Women face domestic abuse and rape in staggering numbers.
No they don't. Historically all violent crimes are down, and are continuing to go down. It's only staggering if you ignore every other number. It's like a Child saying that $100 is a huge sum of money. it is, in isolation.
Can you hear any of this or will you immediately respond with "but men have troubles too!"
Well probably considering that most of these problems that are "Women's issues" affect Men more harshly.
Yes they do. I could make a big long list about them as well. But I accept that men are oppressed in their own unique ways.
Ok.
And you deny that women are. No, what did I say that gave you that impression?
Or will you respond with "none of this matters " or "these are not real issues "?
No I will respond with this:
Your pointing at seemingly random occurrences and claiming there is an overarching problem. I shouldn't have to overtly call you a conspiracy theorist because it should be obvious.
Feminism originally started with concrete problems which were identifiable and fixable with specific, concrete demands. Give Women the Vote, Allow Women to own property, receive proceeds from divorces, open bank accounts and become their own person legally speaking.
Now there is no specific problems with identified concrete solutions to be offered. Women used to march to be given the right to vote, now they march in "Slutwalks" or "against Rape culture"
You could ask 100 Women in those walks what they are marching for and get 95 different answers.
