I’ve not been very active lately since I’ve been preoccupied
with moving to Scotland for grad school, starting grad school, and finishing up
a very time and energy consuming scholarship application. But I’m officially settled
in and back at the blog! And today, I’d like to discuss three things that the
outlandish realm of feminism has inspired some of my fellow womenfolk to do
against their feminine nature.
1) Not shaving
As absurd as it sounds, there are women walking among us
more civilized creatures who do not shave. Not the armpit hair, not the leg
hair....not even those moderately noticeable hairs that can sometimes crop up
around the naval. Feminism has these women believing that appreciation for a
hairless female body reflects an arbitrary and even unfair standard which our modern
society holds for us. And to that I ask: why would we have finally decided to
start doing it if it weren’t in our nature this whole time?
2) Casual Sex
Everyone knows that men are the more sexually veracious of
the two genders. It’s only natural that men would be too physical to control
their own thoughts and desires while women long only to attach themselves to
one man. A man making a lewd joke at, following, or otherwise harassing a women
who is scantily clad? What else could you expect from him? Men are so sexual
they cannot control themselves, while women desire monogamy so direly they are
willing to bear with men and their weaknesses. How could such an arrangement possibly
result from the cultural conditioning of a male-dominated society as the
feminazis claim?
And now the aftershock of the “sexual revolution” has women
of all kinds engaging in hook-ups and swiping right on Tinder. The only
explanation: feminism makes women think they want things they don’t really
want.

| So unlady-like... |
Feminism even has women believing they want to engage in
dangerous contact sports. Instead of preserving the beautiful delicate features
that all of us of the fairer sex are of course born with, they rebel against their nature in favor
of sweat, concussions, and grass stains. I don’t really need to explain why
this is unnatural...it’s all too obvious. Seriously, when have you ever heard
of women tackling each other outside of sexy, panty-clad pillow fights? Nothing
else is natural.
Okay, okay, let’s get serious for a minute. Obviously I’m being
a bit snarky here. But unfortunately, each of the sarcastic points above was
inspired by something I’ve read, heard, or seen in the real world.
And let’s face it...whichever side of the fence you’re on,
you have to concede a substantial amount of power to culture and ideas. If the
feminist movement could make women chase after casual sex when that isn’t what
we are wired to want-that is powerful. But if the long ideological history of a
misogynistic society can influence women to suppress and be blind to their own
sexual desires-that is powerful as well!
The stone I’m hoping to put in your shoe is this: what is
more likely? That a movement which basically says “Hey, you should just go
ahead and do what you want no matter what others think” would make human beings
go haywire doing things they don’t actually have any natural desire to do? Or that
the pressures of fitting into society and adhering to its interwoven worldview could indeed give human beings a distorted view of their own nature?
Feel free to comment-but keep it civil, please!
