Let me count the ways…
There is a film being made about the “f” word. It is called, unsurprisingly, “The F Word – Film” – at least, that is their name on twitter. Glamour UK wrote an article on it and called it The Trouble with the F-word.
Whatever its name, if the documentary were about the words “fuck” and “fucking” it might have been worthwhile and even fun. But no, the documentary purports to explore the reasons “feminism” and “feminists” are hated – a question so simple that you have to wonder if the filmmakers were fucked in the head.
The trailer for the documentary opens and closes with the timorous, grating voice of Emma “bait and switch” Watson trying to entice men into supporting her feminist initiative “#HeForShe” by promising men help for men’s issues – and then switching to make it only about women.
Really, that is all one needs to hate feminism. Feminism is a scam that promises to help men and reneges on the promise. If you don’t understand why people get angry at the malice of liars and scams then a lot of scammers would love to meet you.
If feminism were to stop scamming men and women, a lot of people might look on the dictionary “equality” of feminism with a bit more favor.
Well, maybe they would if feminism weren’t so sexually intrusive. Feminism wants to invade our bedrooms, regulate our sexual interactions and even control our sexual fantasies. If you are a man who is sexually attracted to pretty women, feminists will call you “creepy” and your sexuality “toxic.” They will sneer at both you and the women who appreciate the aggressive and focused sexuality in men. What part of “equality” is demonizing men’s sexuality while celebrating women’s? Your sexuality is literally none of their fucking business but God help you if you tell them to fuck the hell off.
If feminism were to stop being such a scam and respected people’s sexuality then perhaps folks could take it seriously.
Of course, for people to take feminists seriously, they would have to stop with all the rape hoaxes. Feminism has a long and proud history of faking rape for fun and profit. Did you know that the crown jewel of second wave feminism, the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion, began as a rape hoax?
Norma McCorvey…initially said that her third pregnancy, the one in question at the time of Roe v. Wade, was the result of rape, but years later she said she had invented the rape story in an attempt to make a stronger case for an abortion. The rape story was of little consequence to her lawyers, because they wanted to establish a right to abortion for all women, not just those who had been raped. – from “Women’s History” website.
Norma McCorvey concocted a fake rape story on the theory that it would build sympathy with the Justices. The rape hoax was eventually dropped – it was limiting and it seems some lawyers and judges have this thing about professional ethics and disrespected Norma’s feminist right to lie her fucking, scamming ass off – but abortion was legalized despite the efforts of these lying feminists.
Feminists carry on this proud tradition of rape hoaxes even today with wild stories such as the University of Virginia debacle where feminist Jackie Coakley attempted to destroy the lives of 5 to 7 men (depending on which of her lies you believe) of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. People hate rape hoaxes because they ruin men’s lives and because they make it harder for real rape victims to be taken seriously – just like feminism.
If feminism were to (1) stop being such a scam, (2) respect people’s sexuality and (3) cut out the rape hoaxes, then perhaps folks wouldn’t hate it so much.
Well, of course, people will still viscerally hate feminism for the abortion thing. People love children – they are our future and the only good answer to the fact of personal mortality: being alive and living with the knowledge that some day we will die. Abortion is not really an “equality” issue in that men do not have reproductive rights – whether you think legal abortion is good or evil there can be no rational dispute that it is a privilege given to women and denied to men, and that this fact refutes feminism’s claim to be a movement for equality.
So, if feminism were to (1) stop scamming, (2) respect people’s sexuality, (3) cut out rape hoaxes, (4) disassociate itself from abortion and (5) adhere to its actual equality claims, then perhaps folks wouldn’t run away when a feminist opens her cranial cock-holster.
Then again, there is that irritating minutiae issue – of late, feminism seems to be focusing on the tiniest details of human behavior with the intent of policing them or even criminalizing them. Rather than focus on real, pressing issues, feminism thinks it is its business to critique your choices of whom you follow on Twitter in case your taste might be sexist. From manspreading to mansplaining to manvertising, feminists see patriarchy everywhere and they want to crush it under their ample butts. All this nitpicking is irritating and people hate to be irritated.
Thus, if feminism were to (1) stop scamming, (2) respect people’s sexuality, (3) cut out rape hoaxes, (4) disassociate itself from abortion (5) adhere to its actual equality claims, and (6) stop minutiae irritations, then perhaps folks wouldn’t wish for asteroid strikes when a feminist stomps in.
Of course, some people will still hate the open man-hate of feminism. Feminists do sometimes try to cloak their man-hate by calling it “smashing the patriarchy” but no one is fooled by this dodge. Patronizing people demeans them and when people experience this, anger and hate are normal responses.
It seems that if feminism were to (1) stop scamming, (2) respect people’s sexuality, (3) cut out rape hoaxes, (4) disassociate from abortion (5) adhere to equality claims, (6) stop minutiae irritations, (7) stop hating men, and (8) stop patronizing people, then perhaps folks wouldn’t look for boiling lava when a feminist wants a snack.
Of course, one thing that really irritates people is laziness. Sloth is a deadly sin for a reason – we live in a harsh world and it is the lot of most people to work hard for food and shelter. With their fake statistics on the so-called wage gap, their cries for more comforts and pampering, and their reluctance to take dangerous, dirty jobs relegated to men, feminists come off looking like entitled dilettantes and feckless whiners.
It follows, then, that if feminism were to (1) stop scamming, (2) respect people’s sexuality, (3) cut out rape hoaxes, (4) disassociate from abortion (5) adhere to equality claims, (6) stop minutiae irritations, (7) stop hating men, (8) stop patronizing people, (9) stop acting lazy, (10) eschew fake statistics, (11) de-emphasize pampering and (12) take difficult jobs, then perhaps critics wouldn’t daydream about revenge so readily.
As it happens, sometimes what feminists omit hurts their reputation as well. Feminists rarely express (13) genuine gratitude – when they say “thank you” the sarcasm drips like pork grease from their clenched teeth. When men help them they demand more and more with not a thought that perhaps appreciation expressed gently might lift everyone’s mood. Every interaction between a man and a feminist ends with the man hoping he never sees a feminist ever again.
Of course, the few “good” feminist talking points don’t exactly endear them to people: even issues with some legitimacy (female genital mutilation and rape in the third world) are emotionally arduous and depressing. It might be wrong to dislike feminists for pushing these issues but it is human nature to turn away from pain, even third-hand. What is really evil, however, is how feminists attempt (14) to leverage third world crimes into pampering for first world feminists. Outrages like that earn feminists a special place in hell.
Well, that’s 14 reasons why people hate feminism. There are a lot more but you get the point.
In their feigned innocence, feminists think that if people knew more about feminism they won’t hate it so much. I’m willing to bet that this is the thesis of that ludicrous film and I’ll be curious to see if any items on my list are reflected in it.
Keep saying that we are ignorant about you, feminists. People crave having their intelligence insulted (15). They will LOVE you for it.
I fucking promise they will.
