Feminism Is a Synonym for ‘Shut Up’

Posted on | February 7, 2016 | 67 Comments

Feminists despise all men and never want to hear a man say a word:

“I wish all men would shut the fuck up forever honestly. I never want to hear another unsolicited male opinion in my fucking life, least of all on feminist issues. It seems that all ‘feminist’ men care about is getting nice guy points and sleeping with women, or stroking their own egos and thinking they’re soooo great because they show basic human decency to women.”

This quote from an anonymous young feminist’s Tumblr blog expresses the esoteric reality of feminism — what feminists really think, and say to each other privately — in contrast to the exoteric rhetoric feminists speak in public when trying to recruit new members and attract “mainstream” political support. In public, feminists claim to believe in equality between men and women; privately, feminists seethe with resentment toward men, dismiss men’s accomplishments as “male privilege,” denounce men as entirely useless and — as in the example above — express a wish to silence men. As I have previously explained:

Feminism is always a lecture, never a debate. Feminists have no respect for men. No feminist ever wants to hear anything a man has to say, so what’s the point of saying anything to a feminist except “good-bye”?

Meanwhile, consider this headline:

Gloria Steinem Says Young Women
Only Support Bernie Because Boys Do

The iconic feminist Hillary supporter denounces the socialist Bernie Sanders as a patriarchal conspiracy? It’s too perfect!

America Needs Hillary for President Like a Fish Needs a Bicycle.

    Why would you even say “good-bye”? It’s just one more opportunity to be snubbed, or spat at, or a number of other unpleasant possibilities.

    The shrieking philosophy of these hags was originally psychological damage, but now we have young suburban girls from perfectly happy homes parroting this nonsense when they’ve never been through any torment. They’ve just read so many feminist lies (and countered it with nothing else) that they’ve been driven into sheer paranoia.

    Modern feminism explains 5,000 years of human history quite eloquently. Complaining your way into a station far above your talents is an extremely recent phenomenon. But even that only gets you so far. It won’t build dams, pyramids or canals. There has never been a crew of women who has done such things and there never will be. Basically men tamed to world and redesigned it and now the wife wants new curtains.

    Because of course it is the most feminist thing in the world to say that girls go where the boys are, rather than the other way around.

    Whenever there’s something unfavorable to discuss, the word used to describe it is ALWAYS one that includes white, Christian, European males. Now it’s “monotheists”. Previously the favored term was “religious fundamentalists”, ignoring the significant differences between fundamentalist Sunnis or Shiites and fundamentalist Baptists. Extinction of Pleistocene megafauna in North America? Hunting by early man. It doesn’t work the other way. It’s “Aboriginal art”, or Cro-Magnon art.

    It’s tempting to inquire of these Feministas what benefit they actually derive from keeping those rage-fires stoked as they do. Maintaining that level of anger, hatred and vitriol has got to be emotionally exhausting. If maintaining that sort of rage is recreational, it would seem time to find another hobby. Fly-fishing is quite relaxing, I’ve heard. Alternatively, they should try golf. They’re all atheists, so there are plenty of good tee times available on Sunday mornings.

    I think it’s about time to call for Congressional Hearings into Gender Studies classes. If we can look into as something as stupid as baseball drug testing, we can look into this hateful ideology of non-stop daily incitement to hate men and racial incitement being taught to our children. We’re not talking about click bait articles but scholarly institutions funded by the gov’t.

    I’d like to see these “feminists” explain their own quotes on Twitter and blogs in the context of an ideology. I’d like to see a Senator holding a copy of a text book and asking one of these depraved teachers to explain the hateful quotes and delusional theories. Do we teach Scientology at university? I’d like to see these women publicly defend their insane “heroes” on national TV.

    If we can hold hearings on pop music, comics and pornography, none of which are funded by the gov’t or subject to academic certification, we can do this. Pretending these courses are like Egyptology or the insane ramblings of Judith Butler pass academic rigor is insane.

    I would literally PAY to watch those hearings! The sum collected via PPV, books, movies, TV spin-offs and oppressed feminist trading cards (could be like the Pokemon card game) and other memorabilia and collectibles (feminist bobble heads) could put a big dent in the national debt.

    And there’s lots more. I’d like to see the zany woman who sent out the “Dear Colleague…” letter using Title IX to extort the creation of Star Chamber hearings for men in sex cases meant to skirt law testify. I’d like her to explain what “No Red Tape” and “#JustListen” mean in contrast to due process and equal protection. These people hate poll taxes and literacy tests right until the time they start using such schemes to ensure men break laws.

    And shouldn’t Title IX guarantee Men’s Studies funding? The kind of studies where we teach about equal protection and due process?

    Not strictly true. As recent as 1945 there were crews of all women in Dusseldorf, Berlin, Dresden and Hamburg clearing the rubble from bombing from the streets. There was not a man to be seen and photographs of this conditions are eminently available on YouTube by searching on WWII Germany, aftermath, etc.

    I believe that what would make her happy is if we ignored what she said, gave her a swat on her bottom and told her to make us a sandwich. Then she would know that she isn’t surrounded by a bunch of wusses, and that her country is in no danger of ever being conquered by manlier men, giving her great peace and good cheer.

    It’s nice to know women and blacks haven’t abused the right to vote while pretending the one’s who gave them that right are forcing that on them. And so the con game goes round and round. Why are we surprised in a country where authors start their bios with “genderqueer” and “neutrois” because they get affirmative action rewards points while claiming oppression at the same time? People don’t pass for white and stay in the closet. They pass for black and lesbian because that’s an easier way to go to college and then get a job. Bruce Jenner got a courage award for doing nothing more than being a drag queen because America oppresses like that.

    One small issue.

    Do we really want Congress to act on what they may “find?”

    Or more accurately, determine in advance?

    This is the same institution that gave us Title IX in the first place, and then spent decades trying to fix the problems it gave us.

    That level of feminist “anger, hatred and vitriol” can also be referred to as Sociology and Women’s Studies curriculum and it’s taught (preached) every semester in America’s taxpayer funded, college and university classrooms as shown in “Marxist Valley College” on Youtube.

    Please think about this.

    You want to fix government with …more government.

    Controlled by the very same people who continually show that they are willing to betray the voters if the campaign contributions are big enough.

    Like nearly everything else, if Congress does anything it will be a reaction to something that the people have already decided for themselves.
