Counter intuitive … just like the label “feminist”. Let me preface by saying that, as a man of Germanic Belief (what some folks like to call Asatru, but more culturo-historically grounded), I am well acquainted with a culture of strong women. Indeed, prior to Christianization, and for some time following, Celto-Germanic women enjoyed an unparalleled degree of freedom, rights, and privilege as sanctioned by both custom and law. Indeed, it was Celto-Germanic women that first pushed for the recognition of women as persons under “modern” law and gave us first wave feminism … when it might actually have been deserving of the name … when it might actually have been necessary to force centuries of regressive laws BACK into the shape of Celto-Germanic culture.



But what is it that we have seen from, ahem, “feminism” since? Not simply the opening of the doors of oppurtunity into spheres formerly regarded as male, but a very active devaluation of roles that are traditional regarded as female, eg. child birthing and raising, and the upholding of the male roles as the ONLY roles having any inherent value, that are worth devoting one’s life to. “I’m not spending my life bare-foot and pregnant!!!” Like having and raising children is anything other than, unarguably, THE single most important and challenging job in existence that promises a legacy that reaches FAR beyond anything a person might accomplish in most “male spheres”.



This is not feminism … as nothing could be more definitely feminine as the birthing of children. Indeed, it is Masculism. It is no different from (our views of) pre-First Waves sexism … save that its now being carried out by women themselves rather than men.



As for this slutwalk … well, to start, the notion of “slut-shaming”, that was authored and carried out by women, women who knew the value of child-birthing/-raising and who knew that the best way to keep lusty young men in line was strict control their most sought after commodity. Namely, sex … which would fertilize the eggs, that would lead to pregnancy, et al. I can still recall my (single) mom and her freindds sitting around talking about how they would never find a descent man because the neighbourhood whore was putting out to them all.



From the understanding I’ve evolved from my life’s experiences and observations, this “slutwalk”, the desire to dress how I want, to have sex with anyone and everyone I chose, to “shout my status” is a lusty young man’s wet dream and plays right into his hands. And if it’s all good for women too, how come I see so many loney and bitter “bitchfaces” out there?



Feminists are in fact Masculists.
