They appear taller than they are. Black suits; knee high skirts; masks made of multicolored concealers, greenhouse sprayers, coloring pastes - suitcases of reconstructing patches making artificial intelligence seem like a work of nature. Feminists. Just writing it gives me fever-like chills down my spine.

Calm down ladies. Maybe you do deserve to vote and work: seems reasonable enough. But this feminism thing is no longer instigating equality and cooperation, but rather division. Women’s solidarity right? Look how that is being accomplished, through the creation of a common enemy: man.

A line of Rona commercials has been taken off the air in Canada because of its discriminatory remarks about men. One single father saw one of these commercials and took the complaint to the company, where he received ridicule for his complaint. One article describes the commercial:

The commercial features a female customer going into a Rona store with an imaginary complaint called “homestressidous.”A sympathetic female clerk suggests the customer’s husband never helps around the house. The customer confirms this and the clerk responds: “That’s okay. They [husbands] are all like that.”

Politics. To feminist women, Men are the Al-Qaeda’s to Bush, the Jews to Hitler, and the women to the Catholic Church. I begin to wonder, Are women’s rights still about ethics or are they just petty jealousy? Seems as though your righteous struggle against discrimination has degenerated into a savage crusade against masculinity.

Feminism is just another Christianity rising up against Paganism, not for some higher moral system but for the acquisition of power.

I know you like the commercials ladies. As did the beaten-down German’s of the 1930’s like the propaganda articles sponsored by Hitler against the Jews. It allowed them to displace any shame and build pride. A common threat gives people a purpose; a goal. But, as is typical of any scapegoat, the real problem still remains.

The real problem is human. People associate immorality, stupidity, or any other type of ‘wrongness’ with some common characteristic of the people displaying that attribute. We start by denouncing the actions, but almost always end up denouncing the people. (And yes, atheists tend to do that to religious people sometimes, and vice versa.)

Lets flip things around. Take some common problems in our society for instance. I see a real problem with our obsession with appearance and celebrities, our impulsiveness, our yearning for instant gratification, and our lack of leadership. Rather recent social phenomenons wouldn’t you agree? Closely related to say… the rise of feminism? These are indeed characteristics usually attributed to women.

Now say I were to go around claiming that all women are obsessed with appearances. Making public appearances, creating commercials, etc.. Some back ally garbage bin would inevitably become the final resting place for the victim of my very public castration. Justice for my hatred.

Have you feminists ever considered that the types of mass generalizations you associate with men are of the same ilk as the ones that probably led to discrimination against women in the first place? Women were considered provocative and distracting - a menace to the building of civilization and should therefore be delegated simple tasks. Yes, more extreme than the feminist cause today, but same type of thinking.

Now before you all go off on me about simplifying feminism and blowing it out of proportion let me just point out that I concede feminism is a very diverse subject matter. My criticism should be directed at the ‘excesses’ of feminism which I mention, and not the whole movement itself. I agree with equality and cooperation. I criticize divisiveness.

I don’t think feminists are bad because they are women. Just like I don’t think Christians are bad because they believe in Christ or were born that way. I judge people individually by their actions. And when those actions that I feel are unethical become institutionalized, I judge the institution. I can respect who you are while still hating what you do.
