Male feminists take note: Bustle contributor Lauren Holter is on to your faux feminism and wont settle for simple gestures any longer.
In a mind-numbing piece entitled To All The Male Feminists Out There, Heres What We Really Need From You,, Holter argues that male feminists cannot simply put on a woke T-shirt or add the word feminist to their Twitter bio.
Feminist women want more action. Holter lays out six suggestions for men who want to become genuine feminists, most of which are ridiculous and insulting.
First, she tells men to stop interrupting women. She claims that women are constantly interrupted in any scenario that involves talking, and demands that men allow women to do the talking for a change.
With such an accusatory attitude, I would probably interrupt her too.
Holter then asks men to evaluate [their] language. She notes that male dominance is so internalized that it can be tricky to make your language less gendered. Translation: Dont ever use any negative adjective to describe a female.
Calling women emotional, needy, crazy, hysterical, frigid, or bossy all perpetuate harmful feminine stereotypes, she argues. Apparently, the word bitching is off limits too, guys.
Holter proceeds to tackle workplace etiquette, where she encourages men to share their salaries with women. She believes this will accelerate the closure of the so-called gender wage gap. The infamous gender pay gap myth has been repeatedly debunked, even by liberal publications like Slate, which notes that women make different career choices and work fewer hours on average than men. Some even, dare I say, take a hiatus from work to become stay-at-home moms.
Myth or not, I dont know any reasonable person male or female who would go around telling people how much money they make. Thats a great way to create a toxic work environment.
Holter continues by demanding that men not only vote for women but donate their time and money to their campaigns. The narrative that people should vote for a candidate based on their gender is utter nonsense and often tends to backfire. Case in point: Hillary Clinton.
She concludes by telling men to "check [their] privilege at the door and help women in tangible ways going into 2018."
Donning the pussy hat in solidarity with other women isnt going to cut it next year, fellas. Feminists are counting on you in their fight for feminist things
like more abortions and free birth control. The struggle is real.
They want a mirror image of what they claim to hate... it’s time these silly sisters realize that if you wanna wear the pants you gotta carry the load that goes with them too. Don’t jam on those Wranglers like the new cowbois and then refuse to even wrangle a chipmunk. That’s not how it works, ladies.
Sounds reasonable to me.
Jesus I can never get women to shut up.
I won’t wear a “pussy hat.” I will wear a tomcat one. Fssssst, ladies.
This is like complaining that water isn’t wet enough.
Another example of why I think women tend to be vain.
She needs to learn how speak intelligently. So if a woman wants to be listened to she should start by saying: “A man told me....”
She says six suggestions but only gives five. Typical woman never getting the job done.
That stupid btch is going to get a reality check.
Feminism was never for women but for emasculating society, a vastly different goal. The reason is that sociologists noted that the feminine is what causes many women and some men (gays) to adore tyrants, write love letters to serial killers in prison , actually worship pornographic works like 50 Shades (and not merely out of recreation like men) and wish to take part in some kind of sado-madochist relationship with their idols instead of questioning like men do - men who would refuse to write such letters and demand donations for any Obama leader.
Male feminists, aka gays, are eventually meant to dominate women with transgender bathrooms , transgenders in the workplace considered as men and even up to misogynist male entitlementism found in islamism - as all forms of entitlement and specialness are feminine and part of the emasculation dish.
In other words male feminists are here to dominate female feminists and crush them with the blessings of the elites. Because as the women helped the fascist bureaucrats come for men, now that there are no men, they will come for the women.
Shut up and make me a sammich!
That got my attention, but unfortunately it goes down hill from there.
That and they are bad at math.
You are right. Watch what they do, not what they say. Bery feminine Women (with a big W) talk talk talk, and it is all a distraction and meaningless, because as divas they expect to bear no responsibility for anything. So their talk has zero value and at best are calculated lies. They simply do not make the decisions and it is like a test to see if one will let them to their own perdition.
Funny, all I get out of her entire screed is the need for some good wine, chocolate, a bag of chips and a good romp. Usually shuts ‘em up for a while.
Guys generally make better sandwiches anyhow. When I get a plate at a diner and they have skimped, which happened with a Christmas special plate at Perkins where they were woefully understaffed, I can pretty much tell that some (angry) woman prepared it.
