Sexism.

I am officially sick and tired of hypocrisy when it comes to being sexist. I have, and always will be vocal about my feelings towards extreme feminists, and how hypocritical and backwards they, and their philosophies are. There are so many thoughts about this topic running through my head, i am having a hard time figuring out where to start...

Every day I come to work, and read my emails, and there's always at least one email containing a joke about a man, obviously sent by a woman. on some days there are many more than one email, all degrading to men in some way, as lighthearted as they may seem to be. Usually at the end of them, the email ends with something like this: "Forward this to any women you know who could use a good laugh, and any men you think are man enough to handle the truth!!". Which i can honestly say i find ridiculous. I know that if i were to sit here and send out riddles of emails containing degrading jokes about women, someone, if not many people would climb up my ass about it, because i'm being sexist. Yet, it's ok for women to do the same thing, and people think it's fine?

I will be the first to say that i am not like the stereotypical man. 90% of the bullshit in these emails don't even apply to me, yet i am bunched into the category of "Pig" because i am a man. It's bullshit, and i've had pretty much enough of it. For the most part, the days of the Alpha Male and the feeble female are pretty much overwith (unless you live in a third world country...or Alabama). It's not 1952 anymore, and a lot of things have changed. Is there still sexism? Absolutely. There always will be. Just like there will always be racism, predjudice, and there will always be that guy who looks like a girl, and you will spend hours just trying to figure out what the hell is going on with their hair.

I am a man, and i was raised in the 80s, 90s and 00s, and was raised in a household where my mom was strong and driven, and was more than equal with my father, working as much, making her own money, and being her own personality. Not once was it expected that she should be making the food or cleaning the house. She was not expected to do anything that was deemed "woman's work" by the generations before us, she simply did them on her own free will. So by a very young age, i learned that there really was no dividing line between men and women, other than their very obvious physical differences.

Yet, here we are, year 2009, and i am noticing more and more that there are these emails circling about men and their stupidity, and filthiness, and overall lack of humanity. Apparently us men are Stubborn, egotistical, self centered and bull headed beyond belief...wait...i think i just described...feminists...

See, my generation of men is fucked. Why? because for the most part, we were raised with the ideals that we should be providors, protectors and warriors for our women. We have been trained through years of television shows, movies, and have been taught by our own mothers and fathers that chivalry should still live on in our generation. We should stand up when a lady comes to the table. We should open any and every door possible and always offer our jacket even if it means we get frostbite. We should always offer to get the bill for dinner, have a light ready if they smoke, and always be clean shaven and proper...so here we are, an army of 20-something men, ready to don our shining armor and find our princess, only to be slain down by the mighty Feminism dragon....

See, feminists are on this kick where women are equal to men in EVERY aspect of life (which, scientifically can be disproven faster than it takes a pregnancy test to examine your piss), and they will be the first people to tell us men that all these acts of chivalry we think we're displaying with respect, are really just sexism in disguise!! WHAT!!? Apparently, if we hold open a door for a lady, we're IMPLYING that she is too weak to open it herself. If we attempt to pay for dinner, we're IMPLYING that they don't have enough money to pay for it themselves. If we walk them to the door after a date, we're either IMPLYING that they can't walk themselves to the door, or we're PIGS because we think we're going to bed with them.

It's ridiculous. Somewhere down the line, all these classic romantic and classy things a gentleman is supposed to do for a lady have become huge downfalls? According to feminists they are. Now, of course i am speaking in generalities here. For the most part, any woman i have encountered, even complete strangers, have been gracious if i have gotten a door for them, etc....i am talking about the select few (and by few, i mean millions) of women who think they literally ARE equal to men in every way.

I have news for you ladies, YOU'RE NOT EQUAL TO MEN IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE. and guess what? MEN AREN'T EQUAL TO WOMEN EITHER, you fucking morons. We're TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GENDERS. It's not even sane to think that we're all equal in every way. Not even all men are equal to other men for fuck's sakes....pull your heads out of your wannabe penises, and listen up!

on a mental and intelligence level, yes, we are equal! we all have human brains capable of many things. Does this mean that all women can do everything men can do? NO. but this also means that men can't do everything women can do either. Physically, we're so different i don't know where to begin. Men are given more upper body strength, and more muscle than fat. Women are given less. That's the way nature is. Don't blame me. But there are of course, the extremes. There is the body builder woman who has 0% body fat, and is ALL muscle, and there is the tiny puny man who can't even open a jar of pickles.

We're all designed for different things, because we're ALL DIFFERENT. GET THAT THROUGH YOUR LESBIAN HAIR-CUTTED HEADS YOU FEMINIST IDIOTS! i don't give a shit how many pant suits you own, how short you cut your hair, or how much you can bench press, you still have a fucking uterus, you still bleed once a month, and you still can give birth. MEN CAN'T. That ALONE is enough of a massive difference to put this to rest.

but i am getting off track here. My main point is the hypocrisy of it all. If you want to be an advocate for anti-sexism and pro-feminism, then go to town. But you had better keep your god damn mouth shut and your finger off that send button when you think a joke about a man is funny. One second you're saying we're equal, and the next you're pointing out all the "flaws" in the opposite sex that makes you think you're better? Wait a moment here...that doesn't sound right at all....

You can't preach about one thing while going against it at the same time...(unless you're a catholic or a christian, then it's a way of life...oooh burn). Bottom line, we're all different in a million ways, but we're all still capable of the same things. Women CAN do jobs that men do, but some jobs are just better suited for a man to accomplish...the SAME goes the other way. men CAN do jobs that women do, but there are some jobs that women are just better suited for...it's common sense people, just live with it.

That all being said, i would just like to point out that not all men are the pieces of useless shit we see on television. We aren't all as ridiculousy fucking pathetic as ray romano, or as muscle headed and alpha male as tim allen. We don't all play golf, and we don't all sit on the fucking couch and watch sports every chance we get. We don't all want a brown leather lazy boy chair, and we don't all begin to drool at the sight of a breast on tv. We're not all idiots when it comes to laundry or dishes, we don't all pawn off our children so we can sneak out to the strip club, and we don't all even like strip clubs to begin with! SOME of us are actually useful, helpful and courteous gentlemen who look at our, and all women with respect.

Women get so pissed off when men generalize, but they do the exact same thing to us, and i am completely tired of it. So, those of you women who think you're just as equal as men, and are too stubborn to realize the vast reality of it all, just do me a favour. It's a small little step on your way to opening your eyes. If you're married, living with a man, or even have a male roomate, this applies to you....

When you walk into the washroom, if the seat is left up, i would like you to close your mouth, and keep it closed, walk to the toilet and PUT THE FUCKING THING DOWN YOURSELF. Because after all, If the man puts it down for you, he's implying that you aren't capable of doing it yourself...and we wouldn't want that now would we.
