CONCRETE WAYS TO END SEXISM AS MEN

#1. Recognize that men's and women's views of each other and of themselves have been shaped by sexist conditioning in our society.

#2. Understand that these sexist views will persist and cloud both sexes' thinking about both men and women.

#3. Always remember the true nature of ALL women and ALL men: strong, loving, intelligent, zestful, cooperative, assertive, confident and tender. If you can't see everyone that way then it is due to the sexist conditioning (and other hurts) placed upon you. If you had never received this conditioning, then you could easily see everyone's inherent nature all the time. If any person never received any type of conditioning, then they would always act on these inherent qualities all the time.

#4. Educate yourself on the ways that women have been oppressed. Ask the women in your life what the sexism is like in their life. It is important for women to get to talk about it with you and important for you to hear the hardships of being a woman in this society.

#5. Share the work that has traditionally been considered "women's work". This is largely unpaid work and is not considered as important as "men's work".

#6. Challenge the notion to both men and women that boys are by nature aggressive and violent. Stand firm that it is only hard conditioning that makes anyone act this way. Stand firm that boys are just like girls with the whole range of emotions, compassion, and need for tenderness.

#7. Eliminate homophobia (the fear of being close to someone of the same gender as oneself) with the men in your life. Homophobia perpetuates confusion that closeness and sex are the same thing (they are not the same). It prevents men from having close relationships with each other. Taking turns listening to each other about the hardships we've had being men is a great step in starting closer friendships. Go meet lots of men!

#8. Encourage men (including yourself) to feel and express all natural feelings. Men's largest conditioning comes from being forced to act like we have no feelings (e.g. "Big boys don't cry", "You're acting like a girl/sissy"). This conditioning is what eventually makes men take on all of the inhuman roles we are expected to play in society.

#9. Support women's leadership. One crucial area to eliminating sexism is challenging the notion that men are natural leaders and women are natural followers. This can be confusing for men. But considering all the sexist stereotypes we've been taught about women, this is understandable. That is why remembering women's inherent nature (see #3) and taking turns listening with other men about how we've been conditioned is so important in moving forward and supporting women's leadership.

#10. Model non-sexist behavior everywhere. Tell and show men and women that eliminating sexism is a primary focus in your life. The presence of sexism in society is hurtful to everyone, not just women. It's elimination will enhance every human being's life.

Concrete ways to end metrosexualism in women

#1 Metrosexualism is a condition exhibited in females who have been overexposed to PC feminism. It seeks to deny the natural differences among men and women and claims that their is equality among the sexes.
#2. Understand that these metrosexualist views will persist and cloud both sexes' thinking about both men and women.
#3. Always remember the true nature of ALL men: strong, enjoy explosions, intelligent, won't ask for directions, zestful, like to change channels often, confident and into big boobs. If you can't see men that way then it is due to the metrosexualist conditioning (and other hurts) placed upon you.
#4. Educate yourself on the ways that men have been oppressed. Ask the men in your life how metrosexualism has made them have to hide their true feelings about chainsaws or bite their lips in shame when they wanted to shout out, "Hey, nice ass, baby!". It is important for men to get to talk about it with you and important for you to hear the hardships of being a man in this society.
#5. Realize the work that has traditionally been considered "women's work" has been considered that for a reason -- because it is. Men have more important things to do than iron and dust. And besides, you girls are just naturally better at it.
#6. Encourage the notion to both men and women that boys are by nature aggressive and violent. Stand firm that it is only biology and physiology that makes anyone act this way.
#7. Eliminate homophobia (the fear of being close to someone of the same gender as oneself) with the women in your life. Every once in a while, a guy likes to see some girl-on-girl action. Let him.
#8. Encourage men to suppress all natural feelings. No one cares who men feel.
#9. Discourage women's leadership. Men are natural leaders and women are natural followers, so smile and fetch your co-worker a cup of coffee, honey.
#10. Model non-metrosexualist behavior everywhere. Tell and show men that eliminating metrosexualism is a primary focus in your life by wearing revealing outfits, waiting on him hand and foot and stroking his ego at every opportunity.
