Feminist writer publishes crazy list of demands for male feminists
Washington Examiner ^ | Dec 30, 2017 | Brendan Pringle

Posted on 12/29/2017 9:59:42 PM PST by Oshkalaboomboom

Male feminists take note: Bustle contributor Lauren Holter is on to your faux feminism and won’t settle for simple gestures any longer.

In a mind-numbing piece entitled ““To All The Male Feminists Out There, Here’s 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: Don’t 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 don’t know any reasonable person – male or female – who would go around telling people how much money they make. That’s 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 isn’t 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.

Bless your heart Miz Holter, you’re all full of sound and fury haranguing men for help, just as angry women have always done.

You’ll catch more flies with honey than vinegar, honey. Maybe you should try doing things yourself for a change?

Women just complain, it is their nature as they are ceators ad builders and makers ad inventors (ie doers) like men are. If there was nothing to complain about they would complain about that. There are the doers and there are the criticizers and complainers.

People who have no virtue are slaves. Feminists want freedom without virtue formation. They want to eat their cake without getting fat.

They throw out Natural Rights from God, for irrational, unnatural man-made up “rights”, like to kill your own genetic offspring (satanism) and to sodomize others (satanism) and in radical egalitarianism where males and females are interchangeable (evil Marxism). It is ALL hogwash and evil and irrational (dumb).

When you reject God, you reject good and evil. There is no morality and no natural rights and, therefore, no “natural duties”. With Christianity erased you destroy Western Civilization, the basis of freedom, meaning, and dignity in mankind is completely erased.

Marxism/communism/socialism is crated to enslave the masses into collective minds (group-think) and to do so, they have to destroy the Natural Family, individualism and the identity and traditions and erase history in young children,, so they will be irrational, ignorant (and dumb) for life. They won’t even know what it is to be male or female so that the State can enslave them, their relationships will all fail, as planned in 1810 when Fichte stated that the “educational” system should create an unshakeable belief in children so that “free will” is destroyed and they are so ignorant, they will believe “snow is black” and whatever garbage the state (culture/arts) embeds into them.

Only inside the natural family with free association and virtuous role models of both male and female, will children embed the worldview of Christians where Natural Law Theory was formed for the ideas of private property rights and Individual Natural Rights which only can come from God, never the State.

“So I said to her, I said, that thing is awful, I said”...Yeah, at 3 ‘I saids’, I’m either interrupting or nodding off.

It’s a very old game, they play along to get laid. And the women fall for it.

Susie!

At last yer tacking yer own gender.

I wouldn’t mind if they ate their cake and got fat. It’s better than upchucking it, which is what they are “virtually” doing.

All the appetite. None of the power. What’re we gonna do for these sorry sisters?

Feminism at its core is an anti fertility cult.

I saw a FR article just the other day about something that presaged all this sexual dysfunction. Fairy lore! Which started in Britain among eccentrics. The fairies of lore were ambisextrous.

We might as well unearth and publicize the link. People might laugh this stuff to scorn if they realized that people were actually trying to live out “fairy tales.”

“First, she tells men to stop interrupting women.”

That only happens because they are wrong so often. And also when they start getting bossy and bitchy. Act more ladylike and you won’t get interrupted so much!
