Oppressive Biology

Feminist Tumblr attracts strange people with strange ideas, which they feel compelled to share with the world. Megan is 20 years old and her Tumblr profile begins by telling your her Myers Briggs personality type: INTP — introversion, intuition, thinking, perceiving. Why do so many Tumblr feminists list their Myers Briggs type? I don’t know. It’s a thing.

Here’s another thing: You have to specify exactly what kind of feminist you are, describe your quirky traits and/or mental disorders, and also your sexuality. So we learn that Megan is an “Anti-porn and Anti-Capitalist Feminist . . . oblivious nerd girl, compulsive procrastinator, straight asexual.” Excuse me, straight asexual?

You almost wish these people would get their Tumblr profiles printed out as T-shirts, to warn away any sane person who might accidentally encounter them in real life. Fluorescent orange or yellow shirts with “TUMBLR FEMINIST” in large black letters on the back, with their Myers Brigg type, sexuality and other relevant information on the front. “INFJ, butch lesbian, intersectional feminist, eating disorders, chronic depression, blogs way too many Taylor Swift photos.”

This system would not only help Tumblr feminists find each other in the real world, but it would also help the rest of us avoid them. You’d be walking through the mall or riding the subway and see one of those T-shirts and know to keep your distance, so as not to have to deal with any of their unpredictable craziness. This system would be especially helpful to young single guys at college. “Oh, she’s a Tumblr Feminist. Better not speak to her or she’ll accuse me of misogynistic harassment.”

Anyway, what drew my attention to Megan’s blog was this:

“Hey, body, I have no interest in producing a child
now or ever, so it’s pretty sadistic of you to
put me through this every month. Thanks.”

Alas, the curse of having a reproductive system when you’re an asexual nerd girl feminist with “no interest” in reproduction!

Darwinian theorists must pause to wonder how it is that evolution could produce so many human beings who lack normal instincts, so that it is all but guaranteed that they will leave behind no descendants. Fortunately, as a Christian, I can find the correct explanation in the Bible.

“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools . . .”

  1. I’ve read recently that, as something of a counterpart to young men’s spontaneous erections; young women (in addition to their monthlies) have to contend with “spontaneous quivering loins”…

  2. In 1 Enoch, isn’t there that business about Samjaza and the other Watchers teaching humans certain “arts” and technologies, such as the use of cosmetics? And wouldn’t that then mean that cosmetics were “invented” by fallen angels? So I think I’ll pass, you know? Just sayin’.

  3. Jude quotes Enoch, but we really don’t know if the Book of Enoch floating around now is the same one Jude saw.

  4. Maybe not, but there’s some pretty wild stuff in there. And If even some of it is true, it would answer a bunch of questions. But then on the flip side, some of it is a little TOO weird, IYKWIM.

  5. Feminists are mere leftists. Having a conversation with a dog would be more productive and enlightening. At least the dog can feign understanding and won’t interrupt.

  6. I rather regret reading at that link… My gastroesophageal sphincter (No, not that sphincter, the other one!) is quivering now!

  7. Everything in my life that’s crappy is the direct result of stupid decisions I made in my early twenties.

    At least I don’t have any tattoos, so I escaped that nonsense.

  8. Actually, the REALLY HOT women get married… over and over and over.

    Beside every really hot woman is a man who is utterly bored with what he once would have killed for.

  9. Yeah…it’s kind of nauseating. In a particularly vile and disgusting way. That would be a really horrible disease to get, too…and to explain away.

  10. With all due respect…NO!
    (thanks for the trigger warning through, that was decent of you)

  11. My only concern is that our groupies at Autostraddle and Tumblr may begin to swoon en masse when they catch wind of this…

  12. they are biological failures — biological success has been defined as having 12 or more direct descendants by the great grandchild level — meaning when you add up your children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren the number is 12 or more — they’re not even in the game — further almost no career could be considered a meaningful achievement as it has virtually no impact

  13. If they go along with this then it’s good that they don’t reproduce too. Stupid should hurt (and luckily it does).
