Open Letter to Feminism Part 3

Because if I do what you ask me to then my son would be the butt of some woman's abuse. Or worse: my son could grow up angry at women for denying him his nature and thus he could turn out to hurt the few good girls unpolluted by your ideology. The most horrifying: my son could turn his anger on me as the root of his issues and that would permanently damage our relationship. Why would you want to cause wound to this woman's heart, feminism? If I were to birth a girl and raise her in the way you demand then I would never create a fully moral human being, but instead a simultaneously ego-centric/self-denying deeply conflicted shell of flesh.

What is you want feminism? A gaggle of hate filled, work enslaved dikes who harbor intense feelings of exhaustion and loneliness or happy women who are vigilant of keeping our right to vote and reproduce? Isn't feminism about equality and not superiority?

Speaking about reproduction and superiority, women by nature have the honored stewardship of being the member of the species which own the ultimate trump card of nature: ability to give life. Men awed us for this and have envied the gift for 1.5 million years. He has committed the craziest of acts in attempt to gain such power from circumcision to the worship of mythic blood sacrificial Gods. In fact, the majority of male behavior revolves around our stewardship. They protect us because we bear their genetic material. They are often jealous of us because they want to ensure our offspring is indeed theirs. They provide for us because we are so obviously equipped to raise the children better than them on average. Men flex and compete on a daily basis to win our attention because we are the vessel of their legacy, how can we hate them so?

Frankly feminism, you have stripped women of their natural "superiority"; you have caused the devaluation of the one gift which had secured our place in the hierarchy. No matter how men will try they can never take our lofty positions. You could have used that to call for equality, yet instead you made the most stupid of all choices: you brainwashed women into feelings of shame for exercising her natural gift.

In turning women into men you never erased her desire for mother or wife, you instead made her so burdened in having to play both masculine and feminine roles that she has no time to really discover who she is. She has no time to fill your expectation and her own desires. She is so tired and angry by the end of the day that child abuse is actually on the rise. You have managed to make women then enemy of their own children. Shame on you! The ability to give life is the most sacred of gifts the universe can possibly bestow. It is the strongest emotional bond a sentient creature can feel. We women are the lucky inheritors of this unique experience and yet your ideology has stripped us of the ability to enjoy it.
