Feminist Tumblr is about many things, but in general it’s about young women who hate the whole world and everyone in it. Marina is an “intersectional feminist and a human rights advocate” who hates the whole world because everybody is sexist and she recounts the various hassles she must endure before she finally blows up and calls her boss “a sexist a–hole,” which is not her fault:
this is what sexism does – it makes it impossible to win if you’re a girl, or a woman, it makes your entire existance an uphill battle. and truth be told, i am getting so f–king tired. i am 23, a quarter of my life behind me, and i am already tired of educating men twice my age about what is right and appropriate. i am tired of the stares that say i am over-reacting, the replies to calm down, the polite smiles that are meant to knock me down a few pegs. i am tired of explaining to men that sexism is not this one incident, it is my entire life, my every single day. i am 23 and i am so f–king exhausted.
See? She needs to educate us about “what is right and appropriate” because she is 23 and an expert on everything, while the rest of us (especially men twice her age) are clueless idiots.
This is why we cannot simply laugh at feminism’s death-grip on college education. Young women emerge from the protective campus cocoon — where no one is permitted to criticize feminism — and enter a world where most people don’t spend their days worrying about “human rights” and “intersectionality.” In the real world, people have work to do and bills to pay, and the last thing they need is for some young fanatic fresh out of college, hired for an entry-level position, to go crazy in the office because somebody made a joke she didn’t like.
Feminism makes women unemployable.
A paranoid worldview that perceives misogyny and social injustice everywhere renders feminists incapable of functioning in normal life. Because success in the real world requires cooperation and teamwork, a hostile chip-on-your-shoulder attitude is no more conducive to professional success than it is to personal happiness.
One more thing, sweetheart: You misspelled “existence.”
Regrettably, these spoiled, crazy women are not “unemployable”: they find many career opportunities in HR, college admin, and education, where they make life hell for the rest of us and create legions of other spoiled darlings to perpetuate this nonsense.
So, she sees no correlation between being taught that the world is one endless attempt to offend her, seeking and finding said offenses no matter where she looks, and emotional exhaustion.
Got it.
In reality, there aren’t that many of those positions around. Compare the average university “diversity” department “white collar” workers/administrators with the number of annual “Fill-in-the-blank” grievance studies majors at the same university. Who can forget this pour soul?
Oh, dear Lord, I hope this doesn’t mean that the underpaid adjunct professor from somewhere in NY is going to show up and go on and on about how evil conservatives are. Of course, this woman isn’t a sex worker, is she?
Good point.
She is feeling tired now? Give it thirty or forty years and get back to us.
…and she has a “job?”
Funny, at more than twice her age, I never tire of being lectured about how easy my life has been by today’s oppressed young adults…who appear to be entirely ignorant of the concept of projection…despite whatever degrees they may possess…
So, polite smiles are now forbidden? I am positive that impolite frowns are likewise off the table, so I wonder what is left (since I am sure she would be offended by indifference or an emotionless stare). I am 30 years older than this wretched, sad little woman, but I will take a polite smile any chance I can get. Even if it comes from a perpetually aggrieved feminist.
Me thinks she should have picked another field of study.
Which reminds me…talk granddaughter out of feminist history major when she starts university this January. And give her copy of Stacy’s book.
If so, she has a fool for an employer.
This girl needs a very hard, very swift kick in her g_ddamned ass.
Feminists, OWS hippies, communists/liberals, they all make the same mistake. All their attention is on equal pay on not on equal production. A man who climbs 80-story construction sites to work with a 6,000-degree blowtorch should get no more pay than a woman who hands you your change & a cheeseburger at McDonald’s.
I followed the link, where she wrote:
So, if we assume that what she wrote is true, this poor victim of sexist men was being offered a promotion in her job by one of those sexist men.
So, when she said that sexism makes “impossible to win if you’re a girl, or a woman,” it seems as though she hasn’t recognized her own win, a promotion at work.
This lovely young lady wasn’t unemployable at the beginning, but she’s on the path toward making herself unemployed.
What she doesn’t see is that, even if all the things she perceives as problematic were fixed to her absolute specifications, she would then find something new to bitch about; something that “should be obvious to anyone with an interest in human rights”… but that she isn’t noticing at the moment.
This is what we call “First World problems”: the utter nonsense that people bitch about when they finally arrive at warm homes, clean water, easy transportation, and microwaveable chicken Kiev.
People living out on the prairie 150 years ago raised their own food. They watched animals interact on a daily basis and they knew that nature made males and females differently, therefore, they didn’t mind it when human males and females interacted differently. It was… Oh, what’s that word? …Normal!
But today’s intellectuals have the chickens for their microwaveable chicken Kiev raised in a factory 1,000 miles away. They’re so divorced from nature that they can actually believe in some androgynous utopia.
And, of course, they have no desire to close the workplace death gap.
Normal? Normal? You have microassailed our host’s readers of minority sexual orientation, and I denounce you for it.
[…] She Is 23 and ‘So F–king Exhausted’ […]
I knew I should have pre-denounced before hitting “post.”
I would suggest that she and others like her are so emotionally invested in finding grievance, that the the bulk of what offends them is merely day-to-day innocuous interactions among people. There are those, who are given a choice of interpretive frameworks for a specific event, will chose the most negative interpretation every time. They somehow manage to exist as if reality is a cosmic struggle between themselves and everyone else. Call them “misanthropes,” “curmudgeons” or whatever, they’ve always been around. The problem now is, modern political society gives these wet-blankets cover for their misanthropy provided it’s directed at the “correct” targets.
Remember the good old days when your job as a father was to keep your daughter “Off the Pole”?
Today you must guard against indoctrination.
This is what we call “First World problems”: the utter nonsense that people bitch about when they finally arrive at warm homes, clean water, easy transportation, and microwaveable chicken Kiev.
Quite so, and such behavior drowns out those who are trying to bring attention to real injustices, like. . .I don’t know. . . say, Muslim rape factories in Britain. Sure, you’ll be “exhausted” if you’re manning, er, excuse me, womanning the barricades every time someone looks at you funny. The sad thing is, you’ll be snoozing when the real enemy overruns you and kills you in your sleep.
Man, just scrolling through her tumblr the word that really sums it all up is “demanding”, and after that the diagnosis, “borderline personality disorder”. Good indication of that is one entry where she writes about playing a favorite song for a guy she is dating, and because his reaction to it doesn’t meet her expectations, and demands he is dismissed as “not being the one”. That is BDP.
I laugh at this person.
Feel sorry for her son, though.
#NotAllCabDrivers. LOL. What morons. They mercilessly profile the worst of men as all men in typical feminist KKK-style. Heaven help these delicate flowers if they had ever found themselves in an armored tank division in WW II cleaning the brains off the inside of a tank and then painting it and hoping no one would notice the smell.
I expect that a derisive snort is equally off the table.
Oops, was that me? My bad!
Damn, did it again!
Suggesting only a quarter of her life is behind her is rather ambitious.
Probably not, she doesn’t have the official imprimatur of being a “legitimately published” author.
Well, let’s hope that it only comprises a foolishly youthful third, anyway.
” You misspelled existence” Are you suggesting with your microagression that this special snowfake should attend college to further her education and actually learn a marketable skill?
There is no way in hell that if we had second or third wave feminism around during the years of WW2 we would have won the war. Imagine these rotten, spoiled little Bolsheviks going to work in factories to help the war effort. It’s ironic that they sometimes use “Rosie the Riviter” as a symbol of female empowerment.
Cis swine.
Well, they have a chance to make up for it. As they undermine our institutions by turning people away from having kids and drop us below a 2.1 birthrate, that means the next generation of fast attack nuclear aircraft carriers will come from Somali and Mayan immigrants. In other words they won’t come at all. Meanwhile China, Nigeria and Russia don’t have gender studies. They’ll eat this country for lunch in 100 years the same way we could conquer all of Latin America if we chose.
And of course now we know that was “compulsory heterosexuality,” a fake social construct we forced on domestic and wild animals wherever we encountered them.
…or, like Lydia Litvyak, realizing that you’re in trouble while you’re augering in over Krasnyi Luch.
…you’ll be snoozing when the real enemy overruns you and kills you in your sleep.
That’s the only satisfaction I’ll get out of hearing how her life plays out.
I think if I spent all my waking hours forcing chickens to have sex the way I want them to, then I’d be the one on tumblr complaining that I’m “so f-ing exhausted!”
No danger of babies, unless she means litters of kittens.
My wife only likes about 3 Jethro Tull songs (none of the famous ones, by the way), and yet I married her anyway.
Why would we want to conquer all of Latin America? Their people are fleeing those workers’ paradises to come here.
Canada? Yeah, maybe Canada would be worth conquering, other than Quebec.
And Ontario.
These lunatics, and their male allies, either do not understand that their campaigns to destroy “masculinity”, are suicidal, or they know, and just don’t care because they are so consumed with hate, and revenge. If you weaken, and feminize your male population you open your nation to invasion, and there will be no one around to protect you. Those same “toxic” traits they decry like aggression, and a greater ease with violence, are the ones we harness to keep us alive. Do these idiots think feminists and castrated liberal males are going to arm up and fight? If left to them we’ll all be slaves in the name of “good”, and political correctness.
Political lesbianism is a death wish. When you start giving LOLs to reproductive heterosexuality like it’s a frickin’ Model-T you’re in big trouble.
My wife makes $72 an hour on the internet doing nothing but listening to Jethro Tull songs. Plus she’s a cis hog and privileged gender pirate.
You just have to know how to wrangle the little bastards into being homosexuals. Farmers aren’t amateurs.
Is she as tired as poor Madeline Kahn? I bet she is.

Is it wrong of me to say, “awwww!” at the thought?
It’s the expectation that her male partner needs to be everything she’s never had, and either perfect, or near perfect, is symptomatic of BDP. You’re either all “good”(he reacts the way I want to music I like, or all “bad”(he’s not the “one”). Now, not to say that as a music lover, my girlfriend having no taste for music could be a deal breaker, but I’m not going to dump her if she doesn’t like exactly what I like, and in the same way that I like it. I had a girlfriend once who couldn’t stand my preference for monochromatic colors, and simple fashion. She concluded that it indicated some kind of flaw in my personality, and a lack of zest for life. Needless to say she was insecure, and insane, and dumped as soon as possible.
What’s interesting is she has several posts of the “stop apologizing for being ‘me'” variety, which sound like one of those Al Franken SNL “Stuart Smalley” routines. Yet, woe unto any male friend who doesn’t react the way she wants to some vicissitude of life. In her world, all human interaction is zero sum. Either she is completely affirmed or she is completely diminished, usually the latter of the two. I’d bet dollars to donuts her psyche causes her to seek out those relationships and situations which support her world view.
What a great line: “Feminism makes women unemployable.”
It also makes them quite unlovable and totally unfu–able! But that’s because men are sexist pigs who refuse to believe in made-up power driven feminist horseshit!
The faculty who allowed that moron to pursue a Masters in Women’s Studies should be prosecuted for fraud. Only grifters would fail to tell him “NO ONE WILL HIRE YOU” with such a degree. Its worse than having no degree; its a black mark, a sure fire sign you’re a weirdo!
