Men, the Weaker Sex
As feminists, we’re stupid. We keep trying to fight the culture, claiming all the attitudes and lies are bad for us and make us look like we’re weak. Rhetoric really hasn’t been successful in reshaping our world.
Maybe we should flip the model. Maybe men really are the weaker sex, and it’s time to applaud their craftiness in making us look like we’re the weaker sex.
A woman walking after dark is raped. The rapist was too weak and sex-focused to keep his member in his pants. Maybe he was too tired to even just make the wise decision to stay home and rest and do good self-care.
A woman wearing a mini-skirt on the subway has her crotch groped. The perp was too full of lust and just didn’t have the self-discipline or self-control to keep his hands to himself.
A drunk guy has a bunch of frat brothers shoving odd objects in his rectum. Maybe the frat brothers didn’t have the self-control to stop drinking and didn’t have enough concern for the victim to listen to shouted then whimpered no. They just couldn’t deal with their issues properly so they dumped on the victim because they didn’t have the proper emotional skills to make themselves feel better without hurting others.
A woman meets a casual male internet acquaintance at a bar. The acquaintance drugs her drink, and she wakes up half-naked in a dive motel knowing by cramping and tearing that something horrible has happened. The acquaintance had no self-confidence, or he would have trusted that he could get her consentually into his bed. He had no concern for her as a lover, or he wouldn’t have left her in that state. He had no self-respect or pride, or he would have been there in the morning.
Yes, women, I do believe we’re taking the wrong approach. We are so strong to have the capability to think of all these concerns and develop multiple approaches to resolve the issue in advance or respond to it appropriately.
Men are just too weak. They can’t handle what we do, and they don’t want to take responsibility for even trying. They don’t want to take any measures that would have them improve themselves. They especially don’t want to have to work together to help other men develop a path out of their weakness; that requires too much courage and strength. They especially don’t want to work to protect women as individuals instead of bedroom trophies.
We should step back and applaud both the laziness and craftiness of men.
