RM, you *so much* don't get that it's been men who've had the power, for so long, and mostly still do have it
When will this lie ever end? Only the men in the elite have power, which is less than 1 percent of the male population. The rest of men don't hold any such power.
quote:
You need to imagine yourself as the average woman, and look at the world, particularly as men live in it. Then you'd see. There are so many things that you take for granted, as a male. You don't even think about them - most males don't. *I* don't.
As mentioned in Christina Hoff Sommer's new piece..
quote:
Today’s women’s movement also needs to reckon with the fact that men struggle just as much as women. Modern life is a complicated mix of burdens and advantages for each sex. Too often, feminism focuses on gender inequities among elites: CEOs, MIT astrophysicists, U.S. senators. It is true that there are too few women in those positions, but we need to consider the entire workforce for context. Most backbreaking, lethally dangerous jobs — roofer, logger, roustabout and coal miner, to name a few — are done by men. It is men — especially working-class men — who are disproportionately crushed, mutilated, electrocuted or mangled at work. Activists lament the dearth of women in the Fortune 500, but they fail to mention the Unfortunate 4,500 — the approximate number of men killed on the job every year.
Women/feminists need to really stop and look in the mirror to see what burdens they don't have that men do and what advantages they do have that men don't. Only looking at everything in one direction doesn't give you a full understanding of the whole picture.
Feminists run around with one eye open. They can't see past their own noses, that's why such phrases like "what about teh menz" is used in the feminist movement.
The biggest sexist, the biggest bigots are feminists these days. The irony is fucking hysterical.
