pasitheaI'm not done yet. That poll has me really fucking pissed off.
12% of americans wouldn't vote for a woman. Okay, that's better off than hispanics or mormons and no one even thought for a second this fucked up country would vote for a homosexual or an atheist, but you know, it's the 'women' one that really pisses me off.
Women are treated as a minority in this country, but you know what, we aren't. We're > 50%. We're the fucking majority here and we're still treated like dirt, and here's where it really starts to me. Racism, homophobia and theism tend to be strongest among people who've never met or had only very limited exposure to the groups they hate. They don't want to be near the people they hate, they want to see them all dead.
Not so for women. Every misogynist in the fucking world has met many many women. Parent, sibling, grandparent, teacher, classmate, something, and the vast majority of misogynists don't want to be as far away from women as possible. Far from it. They want us at their beck and call. they want to be around us, near us, in control of us, dominating us, telling us what to do. They want us to be their property, their playthings.
It's one thing to be feared and hated, but it's another thing all together to be seen as property. Not even as a fucking human being. You're something less. Something to be enjoyed, consumed, used.
Oh yeah, and let's not forget that more than HALF of all those other groups listed are women, and all this crap stacks. Vote for a black woman, or god forbid a lesbian? Not in a million years!
Fuck you America! FUCK YOU!
Oh yeah, and if you think men are so much more fit to run the world than women, take a GOOD look around. Men have had at least the last 2,000 years in command, and we still have war, famine, disease, racism, and sexism. Is it really that you think women could possibly do worse or isn't just that you're afraid that we might do better?

Date: 2007-02-21 04:33 am (UTC)Honestly, female leaders? If we had female leaders who would get the grunting and chest beating done? Not to mention the saber rattling, war mongering and dominance behavior? Speaking as a creature full of testosterone (nominally) I think that nature gave man more muscles than women because it wanted men to oppress women. Thats god's law there. God is a man in any religion that isn't all fruity, anyway, isn't he?
History has proven that a preoccupation with marking territory with fecal matter and worrying about the relative size of ones penis shapes a great leader, whereas worrying about social connections and nurturing make for poor leaders. I don't have to back any of this up, after all, I'm a man, take my word for it.
Ask yourself, why are technical and scientific fields dominated by men? The same reason they are dominated by whites! All other comers are of inferior stock! Certainly it isn't a culturally ingrained system of oppression! After all, we've been claiming to be dismantling that for decades, by now it's just womankind's fault.
A man can become president when his heart is a cold dead lump in his chest and all he lusts for is dominance and power. A women like that just isn't appealing, she probably doesn't put out! And any other kind of woman would probably just cry and have babies the whole time!
(Oh god, I'm new on your friends list, please know that all of this is my own tongue in cheek interpretation for the crappy illogical reasons that Americans think men are superior to women in leadership)
