Woman's lib fucked us ladies!

I am not a feminist, not by any stretch of the word. No definition of feminism could apply to my ideas of what it means to be a woman, and I think that it is an Alex P. Keaton style rebellion to the way I was raised.

And before you get up in arms about "blah blah blah, there are woman mutilated and manipulated all over the world because they are women, seen as second class citizens, if even that." That's not a feminist or gender issue that is human issue. It does not matter your race, gender, or sexual orientation, no human had the right to physically, emotionally or mentally inflict pain on another human being, and the sooner we stop looking at these occurrences as isolated behaviors and start addressing them species wide, the sooner we may be able to protect our global kin.

As for my issues with "feminism," from a very young age I was pumped with information about how as a woman I was able to do anything I wanted when I grew up. I was a child of the 80s; I was a fresh batch of estrogen taught that she had the right to grow up to become an equal member of the workforce to my xy counter parts. Women all over America were leaving their children at daycare and taking up in offices, in sensible shoes and respect demanding pant suits.

Now this is all well and good, again I don't think that this is so much an issue of gender equality, than human equality. But this push towards professional success, seemed to neglect to recognize a type of profession that I consider the most difficult one to have. And As a society we tend to look down on women who choose it. This is a career that literally pays nothing, and is a 24/7 commitment. Women's lib, has made is so that all the little girls out there who just really want to grow up and be mommies, for some reason have to feel bad about this dream, we are told by family and friends that being a stay at home mom is some how a lesser choice, "why would you want to do that you could be so much more?" MORE? Have you ever dealt with a sick 4 year old? Have you ever enjoyed the pride of a really nicely done art project of a kindergartner? (The actual quality of the art may vary; the excitement of the child is the important part of it.)

Now I feel like if you are a reader of this blog, you have may have picked up any sense of who I am, and you are probably more than aware that being a stay at home mom is not something that I ever imagined my self doing, and honestly it's because I myself had also been sucked into the notion that this life path is some how beneath me...I don't consciously believe that, but I do not have any current plans to be a stay at home mom.

I would totes be down with being a stay at home Mae, work from home, vacuum and dust, do some dishes, eat some Bon bons, SIGN ME UP!

However, because of how I was raised, I today at 28 years old find myself on a professional trajectory, in a massive amount of student loan debt, working to break my way into a profession that historically has always been a boys club. A job where it has been documented that I will make less than male counter parts, and still have to work twice as hard to prove that my Ideas are just as valid.

This brings me to another point on how woman's lib has royally fucked the world, "we" are told to go out into the world where we deserve a place along side the men, but does everyone fail to realize that somewhere along the line these freedom fighting bitches seriously dropped the ball, and basically compromised on the whole deal like a hooker negotiating the price of a hand job behind the 7/11? We def got a bit shafted; we work harder for validation, and get paid less? I think this may actually be supporting evidence for the opposition’s argument ladies that we may not be as qualified, wtf? (Again not something I consciously believe but...c'mon!)

My last point that I would like to make before I stop my random rant.., I really like to be hit on! So I don't like when a guy is overly gross, which I will discuss in a later post that I am working on associated with the online dating topic. BUT there is nothing wrong in my opinion with a once (or twice) over and a smile, a wink, a "hay, you're cute/pretty/hot/cuddlable"

HELL I would venture to say that there isn't even much wrong with a cat call from time to time, as long as its not followed by crude comments from men who just the sight of makes my vagina put a "no vacancy" sign up on its own. I will venture to postulate that the whole sexual harassment movement, was start if not only perpetuated by a bunch of bitter, not attractive, single spinsters who were just fuming that they were not the ones getting ogled at work, or Sam the grocer never gave them free produce in hopes to squeeze their melons one day. Because remember its only harassment if its not welcome, maybe you should be aware of difference, and learn how to take a flirty/forward/all be it sometime perverted complement. As long as it’s within reason, why get your panties in a bunch?!
