How to Empower Women? Turn Them Into Men

[Anonymous]

I'm not really sure how to start this...so I'll just get right to it

So there is a new trend im seeing (in western societies especially) these days, and frankly it's getting on my nerves...

A little background about me : ....I'm 22 (but look 12), College student, I get laugh attacks at all the wrong times and i have weirdly flexible fingers (they bend all the way backwards...idk).

you see that title ?

im gonna waste a couple of minutes of your life showing you why it's wrong on so many levels.

when someone mentions a "strong leading female character" what comes to your mind?

a female, shooting guns, cussing like a sailor, very tough and beats up people and has a lot of attitude, enjoys blowing things up and sometimes very crude

basically a woman acting like a man...not like a strong woman

and now we have this whole "female" James bond thing...that HAS GOT to be a joke!

James bond is a British MALE and is WHITE. period !

have you ever seen a man complain that there is no male Marry Poppins ? nope! and you never will.

because there is nothing wrong with that. And for men,...the lack of a male Marry Poppins doesn't make them incomplete or weak as a gender....they have nothing to prove

have you ever seen men say "how come women can wear heels and we cant!? they ain't better than us!" or "if she can wear nail polish..SO CAN I !" ?? nu-uh

women on the other hand .... "if he can cuss so can I " ..."look at me I can act a like horn dog too ! " .... "we want a female James bond!" ... "pfft i totally hate babies and commitment too!"... "eww female hormones and female emotions *gag*" ...

Im not saying that men are better than women or anything...but it seems like It's always the women bending over backwards trying to become a "male" and slowly reject being a "female" ....and THAT is what irritates me.

Im not trying to tear down other women here...im just asking why ? what is so bad or wrong about being a female? why do you get defensive when someone says you're emotional or physically smaller or sensitive or delicate or nice or w.e ? but are totally fine when someone describes you as if you're nothing but your body? why are so many women ashamed of having tons of girlfriends and not that many guy friends ?

but wait ..what IS empowerment?

empowerment means embracing yourself and everything about your manhood or your womanhood without shame or fear

it can be something as simple as embracing your natural hair.....or something like fighting for your right to have a name, property and freedom

our grandmas and ancestors never said "women are just as horny as men...and that is a very important cause"

they were more about "I can be successful too! why are you stopping me?" or "both of us can work! why am i denied that right?"

they did not want to work or vote just because men did it...they wanted it because it was their right and that is it.

why is this happening in the first place?

welll....long story short, a male has always been authority and a strong figure throughout history, while females were usually treated as a second class being

so it's been implanted in our (males and females) heads that:

man = strong

woman = weak

and as much as things have changed ....the above still holds true... man=power

so in today's society's head ..empowering women = making them men...and sadly more women believe in this than men

This, ironically, is making women weaker on many different levels....

why are we encouraging women to be men ? why not encourage them to be ...oh i dont know..strong women !

teach them to embrace their womanhood, love other women instead of tear them down to get attention, teach them that femininity is beautiful and not weakness, dresses and make up don't make you weak or vain, teach them confidence not arrogance....etc

teach them that a "man" is not an enemy nor is he a life goal...

feminism on the matter ....

these new trends running around today (free the nipple, beyonce, kill men....etc) are NOT feminism...

feminism came to existence because of the oppression women were put through back in the day...it came to let the woman BE equal to the man (because they are both human not because men are "it")...not BE a man

you know, like ACTUAL equality....not similarity

MEDIA !!

this will probably need a new Mytake....but i mean, look around....in a lot of movies:

-the player always falls in love and changes into a gentleman because of a girl

while irl , you shouldn't even bother with a player because no, they dont change....men in general, good or bad, can't be changed unless they want to. and even then, you are not going to change him... you're just going to HELP him change himself

-the stripper or the prostitute sleeps with a client who "sees the good in her" and helps her and then marries her and they live happily ever after.....do i even need to comment on that ?

-a man child usually ends up with the hottest woman in the whole movie..while still being a man child...because that tottally happens

-the "strong" female character that wins eventually, almost always HAS to be the sexiest eye candy ever and has to wear minimum amount of clothing ....no just no..

and this is present even in video games, most male characters when they are upgraded they have better shields or weapons or they becomes more muscular or bigger or w.e....because that makes sense

while female ones upgrade into something just sexier with ridiculous armor that serves no purpose and is usually very trashy

and sooooo many more things that just promote and teach all the wrong ideas...

another example, they tell people that men/ women are attracted to confidence...which is true!

but what is the idea of confidence are they selling ?

for men.....a player or someone who skilfully plays around with women and knows his way around them

for women....anything overly sexualized or abrasive really

this has been shoved down our throats for the longest time....and its messing things up and making both parties a little happy at the moment but very unhappy and unsatisfied on the long run....

ok, how about "chic flicks" ?

it almost ALWAYS..ALWAYYYSSSSS ...revolves around men...and also very vain

its basically a bunch of women either fighting over a man or fighting against a man....it always revolves around a man....their lives revolve around men generally

and "empowerment" in those kinds of movies comes in the form of girls sticking together against men.....so again its all about men really...

anyways ....this whole article was unplanned and just been around in my head for a while, i also ate a lot a few mins ago and im kinda bloated and not very focused rn....

so where am i going with all of this?

western idea of equality (not the entire west obviously) is basically about making both genders pee standing up or sitting down......it works but it will always be harder and unfair to one party.

while actual equality is about each gender taking care of their business however their bodies were designed and whichever way they are comfortable with

many people keep saying women are overly emotional...as in excessively emotional...like tooo many emotions ....but on what scale ? who did you compare her emotions to and the end result was her having too many emotions ?

a man right ? ....well who said a male is the standard ?

if we reverse that...men would be heartless monsters ....does that sound very nice? no

exactly!

women are not too emotional and men are not cold...everyone has just the right amount of emotions and hormones that fits them and their life and roles in life

and for my fellow women.....this MyTake is coming from a place of love...tough love...because honestly, things are not going great for women and all the wrong ideas are being shoved down their throats...especially younger women (might elaborate more in another MyTake)

embracing yourself doesn't always have to be related to men or your physical appearance ...and most politically correct ideas will take you down a baaad bad road

P.S: obviously everything stated above doesn't apply to every single man or woman or society...

it's my opinion and my point of view on things...yea, you dont really have to agree :)

and here is me embracing a part of me ....
