What do you think?
Feminism feels it has to neuter men in order to remove the their dissenting voices from the public arena. However feminists don't respect neutered men – who does – but they don't care about men either so nothing is lost as far as they are concerned.
Edit
The poor fools who think they are being enlightened by going along with the demands of feminism are like a man who is forced to dig his own grave, except these 'honorary women' – clever and enlightened as they may think themselves to be – have no idea what they are letting themselves in for.
Kind of sad that you don't recognize the satirical sections in this list.
So it's considered "feminine" to remember someone's birthday, to enjoy nature, to clean up after themselves, to participate in making a home, and to consider their partner's pleasure as important as theirs?
If so, I'm all for it.
LOL I think whoever wrote this will be waiting an awfully long time to find her "real man". What a doofus. She shows a lack of real understanding of men. Sure, there are men who have some of these tastes, and that's fine. But to say that only real men act like this? As if! What fantasy world is she living in? She isn't describing a real man – she has just described a servant who she can use to her heart's content. Notice how much stuff on the list was about what he does for her and how servile he must be to her. If this article was written by a man, describing a real woman in these terms, there'd be a bunch of angry women calling for his castration.
So what do I think? *baaaaaaarf*
She needs to get real.
lol. Omg, are they for real? They seems to know as much about men as my cat knows about nuclear physics.
Real women respect their men.
Real women don't think that they are superior to men.
Real women don't like radical feminism.
That was good laugh, thanks, I needed that!
Imagine how cranky feminists will be when they realize that the men they have feminized can no longer clean out the gutters or mow the grass. Their men will be too busy changing diapers and eating quiche.
Who the hell are women to decide how my gender should be??
"Real men read books and like foreign movies better than Hollywood ones"
I love foreign movies AND hollywood, since I'm not from The U.S.. that statement about hollywood and foreign movies proved that those people only care about the U.S.. didn't one of 3rd wave feminism's goal was to move feminism offshores?
"Real men kneel to me gracefully"… but wait, wasn't feminism about equality, not supremacism?
"Real men read Shakespeare aloud to thier lovers" WHO says i have to have a lover?!
"Real men get my car tuned up when I'm too lazy to pry my *** out of bed and drop it off. They also feed my cats and clean the catbox. " HELL no.
If this is true, I feel sorry for women who buy into this philosophy. They will never be truly content and will spend a good part of their lives wondering why no man can meet her needs. And if there is a man who can stomach living with her. She will eventually find him boring and unchallenging.
Please break this down…..What specific things on this do you have an issue with. From what I'm seeing it's a simply a list of bs stuff…I not seeing how this makes a real man…or how it creates a feminine one.
Is eating sushi and liking puppy's……..bad?
Being sexual confidant in himself not to freak out if someone calls him gay….wouldn't that be a manly thing?
Annoyed…IDK what it means…or how any women would expect a guy to drive 125 miles just to get food. No feminist are not serious about this…like I said it's a BS list.
It's pretty close to pointless given the subjects are concerning adult responsibility and personal preference that is nobody's business to say whether a person is wrong or right for liking it or not(example: Real men eat quiche).
wow. i have to say, i am very saddened by everyone's reaction to this list.
the point of this list is to redefine masculinity, what it means to be a man.
third wave feminism aims to redefine gender expression and acknowledge the fluidity inherent in the concept of gender. first wave feminism (19th century) attempted to make women more like men by getting them the vote and into the work place. second wave feminism (1960s and 1970s) mostly identified various shortcomings with first wave feminism. for example, betty friedan's the feminist mystique identified "the problem that had no name" experienced by housewives in the 1950s. instead of focusing on making women more like men, radical feminism of the 70s sought to empower and embrace activites typically practiced by women (mothering, nurturing roles) and identifiy the ways women are subordinate to men and ending forms of sexual discrimination.
don't be afraid of feminism. being a macho he man doesn't necessarily make you a man and that's what the list is trying to make you see.
3rd wave feminism? You've got to be jesting! They've invented literally hundreds (and I'm not exaggerating) of "feminisms". That way a girl gets to pick 'n' choose according to what takes her fancy … which means that the feminism label itself is a meaningless dead duck!
P.S. Please wake me up when they get up to the 99th wave.
"Real men kneel to me gracefully."
What the hell does that mean?
Please tell me they're not serious about this list.
I am speechless…I have just learned about this 3rd wave business…personally I prefer my husband to be himself and not a robot…can you say 'reverse Stepford '? This is creepy! You are so right…real men are people!!!
