Bodies

Picture
It recently occurred to me to shame some assholes by implying they have little dicks.

You see women have their bodies scrutinized all the time. Are women ugly, too fat/thin, uteruses/vaginas, breasts, legs, asses and their sizes are constantly in the news and up for discussion and whats good for the goose is good for the gander right? If my body is up for discussion, why can't we discuss men's bodies and how well they are endowed.

This was so utterly distressing to these men that I got threats. Sure I am not worried, we have guns, my lawyer has been informed and he's contacted the authorities and we're in the NRA.

Even my male friends said of this picture things like: "hey that's really a girl you know" and "oh that's a girl who's taken steroids". How did they get so experienced with women? I assume its from years of examining porn? But why were they so keen to make it about women?

You know the reality is, I never even thought the picture was real. I thought it was photoshopped. Perhaps I am too inexperienced with men or I need to up my porn quotient?

Okay so why is it okay in our society to make statements about the size of women's butts, breasts, talk about vaginas and uteruses in the news constantly yet a guy's penis size is beyond questioning? If you don't like it, how do you think we feel? Stop it.

But then women do it too. Sometimes women say and do awful things to each other because they think that men will like them? Either this is straight from the Milgram experiment, where women defer to men who they see as the authority or its Stockholm syndrome. Many women seem to be displaying symptoms where they give men a pass and blame the victims, such as in the Steubenville rape where these girls threatened the victim on twitter. Either way it appears they are cowering to men and the patriarchy.

As I have said often we see so many images on TV of women, men and how they interact. They are turning us into stereotypes so they can sell us stuff. TV tells us women's only job is to be a house wife and mother. Its kind of like saying all men should be toll booth operators. TV doesn't tell us women joined convents more often 75 years ago or about Boston marriages. TV told us women living together was bad. TV tells us women need men. Such as this story about a town in Brazil which was made up with only women were after men. It was quickly reported that this was not so and no such town exists. In modern culture it seems that men are absolutely sure women cannot exist without men - hmmm. TV tells us all kinds of rubbish.

The other thing is men generalize about women. She's upset because its her period or she's crazy or some shit. Men never think a woman could be upset with them because the man's behaviour is bad.

However women are not allowed the privilege of generalizing about men.  If you look around at who causes all of societies problems, it is men. Men are the presidents, men are the CEOs, men run the banks, men are the diplomats, men start the wars, men foreclose on homes, men do all the violence and when men complain that men are the victims of violence, it is usually at the hands of other men, men do the raping, men do most of the crime...

There are so very few women in positions of power that women's influence on the world stage that our direct impact could only be considered marginal, women are still getting used to power. There are so few women committing crime that our jails are 93% full of men.

If men want privacy, then I think women should be entitled to privacy too. Men must stop interfering in anonymous women's decisions. If a man doesn't know her, he has no say in the matter.

    I am interested in progressive politics, women's rights, science & art. I believe the only way we'll survive is if we help each other.
