Feminism: Do You Support it?

“Onion haz eh yo.” It’s me, Ajumma. So, I was sitting in my room when I was contemplating which issue I should tackle for my very first blog? My answer came in the form of my lovely friend who asked the question listed below. Guess what rice bowls, like I said, leave your butthurt feelings at the door and woman up.

Do you support Feminism?

Short answer, no, long answer, yes?

Buckle up kiddies because this is going to be interesting. By the way, if I don’t happen to post a blog in at least two weeks then the liberals got me. Oh feminism, what a fantastic topic. Now remember, I’m a female minority so everything I say is correct. Goodness gracious, I’m going to be crucified. Lord bless us all.

Feminism (fĕmˈə-nĭzˌəm)

n. Belief in the social, political, and economic equality of sexes.

n. The movement organized around this belief.

Yes, I support feminism. I support this definition at least. The original idea, which in fact the goal was actually achieved around the late 1950′s and early 1960′s, is that of equality of the sexes.

Unfortunately, this once amazing and inspirational movement has been transformed and twisted into one of the most ignorant and abusive groups of people.

Third-wave Feminism (thûrd wāv fĕmˈə-nĭzˌəm)

n. The third wave appears to be something of a backpedaling by feminism. The fierce misogynist backlash against feminists that began in the 1980s caused a number of women to get scared and avoid putting their heads above the parapet, and this continues today with the death and rape threats that are now ubiquitous on the Internet against any woman who speaks up. Many women now avoid calling themselves feminists because people like Rush Limbaugh have managed to make the label toxic.

Damn, you guys actually made me work. I had to click and scroll through the second Google results page to get this answer. Before I get destroyed, this definition came from a neckbeard that goes by the name of Ernest W. Adams, who has been a self-declared feminist for all of his adult life.

Now, this is a clearly biased definition, but if I gave you a right-wing definition instead of a left-wing all of you would piss and moan. We’re going to take this definition line by line so that you understand it and I can tear Mr. Ernest W. Adams a new one.

“The fierce misogynist backlash against feminists that began in the 1980s caused a number of women to get scared and avoid putting their heads above the parapet, and this continues today with the death and rape threats on the internet blah blah blah.”

First off Ernest, this is a run-on sentence, unacceptable. I had to look up the first section, “fierce misogynist backlash against feminists...1980s.” It turns out it was due to something called sex-positivity which is basically the source of our unhealthy one-night stand culture.

Yes, I have opinions on sex-positivity but that is another topic for another time. Summarizing more of this ‘try-hard’ rhetoric, we can basically just chock it all up to “yes, a portion of the male population were prejudiced, discrimination is not a new issue but it doesn’t make it right, but apparently, men are the reason why women have not really been succeeded.”

Look, discrimination sucks, but come one third-wavers, you’re going to blame men for you being afraid and then go post “the question isn’t who’s going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.” Well Ms. Ayn Rand, apparently you’re going to let men scare you.

“Many women now avoid calling themselves feminists because people like Rush Limbaugh have managed to make the label toxic.”

No, take responsibility. No. Third-wave feminists are the reason why I refuse to call myself a feminist. While I’m not a big fan of Rush Limbaugh myself, he was speaking his mind and expressing his opinion. It was the radical feminists of the 1980s who have made the label toxic.

Don’t believe me? They contradict themselves constantly, are ignorant, and will call people Nazis or Neo-nazis when they’re losing an argument. 1970-1980, third-wave feminists, that’s when the Pussy Riot, Slut Walk, and Femen were introduced. We expect men not to call us demeaning names like the ones above but we walk around nude to stop rapists? (How many rapes are you stopping? None, you just sit there and complain)

So there’s your answer. I identify as an equalist, because the term feminist has been twisted into someone who walks around exposing themselves to “stop racists.” For the majority, most feminists today are spoiled, Caucasians who feel like they need to pay their debt to society for being white.

This sure was fun. Well, this was my first blog on Tumblr, I pray to god that someone doesn’t hire a hit man to shoot me. However, I would love to hear your opinion. Please don’t hesitate to direct message me or submit your own post to appear upon Ajumma’s ‘Tea’ House.
