Chivalry meet Feminism

I can vote, do construction, and join the military. I can wear pants, drive, become a CEO. I can go to college, get a higher education, and live on my own.

I thank my great grandmother, and her generation for these things. They walked through hell to give me the rights to be who and what I wanted. They wanted me to have the freedom to be anything I wanted to be.

The women of that generation had amazing intentions, and a good point. Women are NOT second class citizens. They are as much human as any man. There is nothing a man can do, that I can't. Unless you count peeing while standing and not soaking my socks. But honestly... even if it's only 30 seconds, I'll take that time to sit, thank you very much.

Now... here is where I start to get a little pissed off. Over the last 90 or so years, women have evolved into this, conglomeration of fangs and hatred of all things with a penis. Why? Why are men viewed as the enemy? Why are women who choose to stay home with their kids frowned upon by the feminists?

The goal of a feminist is to give women the right to do anything they choose to do. Be it working full time driving a forklift, or running a major company... or *gasp* staying home and cleaning and raising children. If you fight to give women a choice, shouldn't you respect the choice they make?

As a young girl, I used to fight my feelings, because I was told they were wrong. I was to get a higher education and get a good job and support myself. That's not what I wanted. But, my mothers generation were the women out burning their bras. All I wanted to do was wear one.

Now ladies, it's impossible to expect men to know what the hell we want as a gender. Because as a gender we don't even know what the hell we want! We want chivalry, and men to behave as gentlemen, yet treat us a equals. How is that possible. Do you want to be treated as a man, or a woman? You want to be equal? Fine! Open your own fucking doors, pull out your own fucking chairs, and pump your own fucking gas! Don't define jobs around the house as "mans work"... no no sweetie, you get off your ass and fix that leaky drain your damn self.

Why not? Most men I know can cook, sew the holes in their pants, and do their own laundry. Tons of single Dads out there are perfectly happy to help the kids with homework, and make sure they are clean and fed. Here they are doing "women's work".



So what do women want? Many are offended if a man opens their door. "I can open my own damn door." Well no one said you couldn't, it's just a polite thing to do. "I can get my own damn chair." Yes, I'm sure you can. I hear all the time that women get less pay for the same jobs. Granted I've never worked in anything too professional. However, I've never experienced this. In fact, most jobs I've had, I get paid more than others, male or female. Why? Because I'm good at what I do. I've always been paid based on my qualifications, not on whats in my jeans. I'm sure the pay thing happens, but, I've never seen it.

Some of my favorite quotes, "Men are pigs" "They can sleep with anything they want and it's ok, but if a woman does it shes a whore", "Look at him checkin her out, she's such a whore." Good grief ladies! Why are we all out to get one another!? I'll tell you why... because we have no idea what we want! And when we see a woman doing what we wish we could be doing, we're jealous. Yes I said it, Jealous!!!

She's skinnier than you, prettier than you, dresses better than you, has more grace than you. WHO FUCKING CARES!? Be YOU not her. There is no mold for women. We don't all have to be the same to be right. I'm guilty of this on occasion. Our society tells us we are wrong. Lets look for just a quick second at who is telling us we are wrong...

FASHION MAGAZINES! Wow... lookee there. A fashion magazine says my man will only want me if I wear those shoes, buy that sweater, and eat that brand of diet pills. Hmmm, now why would they say that? Oh that's right, because they are getting paid for the ads. Riiiight, it's money. They get paid to make you feel inferior and pathetic.

Women are all over the map. Wanna know what a man wants? I can tell you. Seriously, I actually think I can sum it up into a few simple words. Men want to feel useful, they like to 'make things' and feel handy. They like to know they are needed. In a woman, most men want a slut in bed and a girl next door to take home to Mom. Be both, and he's yours!

Really, most men can be summed up into a paragraph. It would take a 5,000 page book to even scratch the surface of women.

I am endlessly grateful to my great grandmother, and her whole generation. They gave me so much. I think most women take that for granted. Less than 100 years ago we couldn't even vote! Be fucking grateful for once! Acknowledge what we do have. Stop judging other women! 90 years of fighting for our freedom! Freedom to do what -I- want to do, and by God, I'm going to do it.
