In today's society, Feminism is a heavy topic of debate. This post will explore two common arguments used by feminists: 1. Women shouldn't have to be afraid, we should just teach men not to rape. Also, 2. men need to learn the difference between sexual harassment and an honest comment. 1. While I highly applaud the ideal behind it, I flatly believe it is just stupid that this argument is used to stop rape. Allow me to explain: I flatly am against rape, any sane person I think should be. (We will not go into the gray area of the implied consent). However, what feminists fail to realize is that flat out rape is often not about sex. Rapists often rape because of a childhood incident, or have an inferiority complex (succinctly, they like having power over someone). To simply state that we should teach men not to rape is lunacy. All men who are mentally stable know enough not to rape someone. (Again, I am talking about superior forced rape, not the 'she was grinding on me so i thought she wanted it' rape.) I support teaching all women self defense classes, starting with high school and college girls being the priority. Rape is always going to be around, and I'm not condoning it whatsoever. I am merely stating my belief that rape is a mentally unstable act, and to teach someone who is mentally unstable is a losing battle. 2. To establish some parameters, I am talking about feminists who believe that an unsolicited remark on the attractiveness of the body is unwanted and sexual harassment. Allow me to refute this statement. Generally any woman who receives such remarks is dressing in a sexually suggestive outfit. Now I am not condoning blatant disregard for social chivalry such as (please excuse the profanity) "Hey baby, you looking sexy as (*)(*)(*)(*)." "Damn girl I could eat you for breakfast, lunch, and dinner." These remarks are not only immature, they are also professing an attraction in an mundane and neanderthal way. However, a well phrased thought such as "You look amazing today, those shorts really suit you." I find to be of no offense. It compliments in a thoughtful way, and accentuates the sexual attraction of dressing in a subtle and non-derogatory way. Now, not to counter myself, but I would like to address thoughts such as "Why does every guy keep staring at me." "I'm not being distracting, tell guys to calm themselves down." Here is my dissertation. Woman say they dress in a "sexual" way because they would like to promote self body image and positivism with self -confidence. So to show this, they dress in a way that is appeasing to the eye, so to speak. The ideas behind this is that they are confident in their bodies, they are sexy and they know it. So, why do they get angry when men feel the same way? "I dressed for myself." This comment implies that they are happy with the way they look. When you dress (speaking to everyone here) in a way that reveals certain aspects of your physique, you unlock a primitive drive in everyone. When males see the curves and attractiveness of a females body they are instinctively driven to mate with her. Basically, my argument is that if you don't want to be sexualized , don't dress in a sexual way. Thoughts?
1. Think about how utterly self-absorbed, narcissistic and indisputably misandric the "we should teach men not to rape," steaming pile of feminist turd is when only a fraction of 1% of men ever commit rape in their entire lives, in a country of 300 million+ people where 200,000 rapes are reported a year. Notice how the propaganda statement implies that many more men commit rape than actually do, and that there is a vast social problem there when there is not. There are three+ times as many aggravated assaults as rapes, everything from fists to knives. People are beaten to within an inch of their lives daily in this country. How silly would it sound to whine, "we should teach people not to assault," or "we should teach people not to rob," "teach people not to steal," "teach people not to kidnap." What we need to teach is to teach feminists not to lie, see the world through gender glasses, and perpetuate misandry. Learn the term "misandry" because the phrase "teach men not to rape" is a steaming, stinking pile of misandry. We have a well-established, harsh penal regime in place to punish rapists. It would be nice if we could "teach people" not to commit crimes, but the irony is that the people who commit most of these crimes will never see or hear the ridiculous feminists bleating through a 110 decibel bullhorn. 2. Don't pay women physical compliments other than your family and close female friends. Harrassment is defined as "attention from the wrong guy," and instantly becomes "desired flirting," from the right guy. Note that you, as the guy, have no control over which. Best to avoid compliments altogether as even when desired, they do nothing to raise a woman's interest in you, often the opposite results.
I suppose the response would be as rape is a horrendous fact of human existence, and as women are most typically the victims of it. It would be a kindness for men to be especially considerate of how or under what circumstances they interact with women. It may not be required be law, and it probably shouldn't be, but it should be considered just good manners to leave a woman walking down the street that you do not know alone. Yes regardless of what they are wearing. You may not be able to help getting an aroused feeling when you see a woman who is looking good. At the same time that doesn't mean you just HAVE to go talk to her. Again if you are walking out on the street. It's all just situational, but a good basic rule is this. If it isn't a situation where you would talk to another man just don't talk to her. Think of it this way. As men what would we do if another man walked up to you on the street and told you to smile. Probably look and him strangely. Then what if he acted like you were being the jerk for not smiling when he told you to. I don't know how most of you would react, but I would probably at that point tell him some words that would be bleeped out for public broadcast, and if he reacted to that by calling me another word for a female dog. There would be an altercation at the least. It is not that difficult. If you say you respect women then just show them respect, and don't scare the bejesus out of them because you want sex. Also for the love of God if you are tired of grey areas of consent might I suggest that it's anther good rule just not to have sex with an intoxicated woman. You'll be better off, probably have better sex too.
