I’m sure your question was rhetorical, but no. They do not realize how ridiculous they sound. This generation of Americans is insulated from reality like no other generation before it. If they’re hungry, they can order a pizza or walk to the fridge for a cold beverage. If they want something to read, it’s at their fingertips. Too hot or too cold? A few key presses on the thermostat, and they’re comfy again.

Yet, the real world exists out there, and the liberated women of today are still dependent on men in ways they cannot apparently fathom. Who builds the buildings that house them, pumps oil for their vehicles, guards the borders, routes the cables and pipes that that lights the night and carries away their bodily wastes? I hazard to say it’s mostly men.

Let these technologies come apart and see how long these “independent” women last without the help and protection of men. I a man, and even I realize just how dependent on other people, mostly men, I am. Men built my house, they built my cars, they paved my roads, etc.

Now this is not to demean women or to say that women don’t work hard, physically demanding jobs alongside men. Some women do. It’s to say that these ridiculous gender games some people play these days are exactly that. One has to be very irrational (or amazingly self reliant) to think they are independent of others, that everything can be shared evenly and fairly without causing most people to give up, or that two men is a “marriage” in the same sense that a man and woman can be.
