What is the measure of a womyn? The degree to which she subjugates man.

Third wave feminism, which was to me a nurturing mother (meant both endearingly and cynically), brought me to the point of realization of the abuses the race of men brings upon us, the totality of their privilege. However, I have since recognized the truth that to despise society’s inherent patriarchy is not enough. All the “I need feminism” pictures in the world will not bring about the change we seek. Action, on the other hand, can.

What action, you may ask? There are many available to us womyn; in this post I’d like to highlight one. Our body image, according to 3rd wave, is to be determined by womyn and womyn alone. Free of the demands of patriarchal society, mores such as having a skinny body should be sacrificed to the goddess of your true self.

In this particular, 4th Wave Feminism must depart from its predecessor. Why? For several reasons. Firstly, for health reasons, and I say this in regards to the issue of “fat shaming”. An obese womyn is a womyn less capable of defending herself against a man’s rape in any of its forms. It is a vulnerability physically, as the womyn is less fit, less able to cause the necessary bodily harm that all men deserve. But perhaps more importantly, it is a social vulnerability, as the womyn who does not respect the temple of her body is not to be taken seriously. Every womyn has a responsibility to become as healthy as they can be, which must include physical fitness. Why? Not because the men demand it. Not because society demands it. But because us womyn must be superior to them; the overweight, couch potato football-viewers. We must be superior in every way possible to them, a race of amazons against a horde of barbarian boors.

The last point I’d like to make with the post (which I hope to expound upon in later points) is that of the potential of female sexuality. It has been said truly that every sex act with a man is a rape. However, this view doesn’t consider the subjugation of men possible through his unfulfilled desires for that rape. Without sex, a man is a festering ball of ineffectual frustration, weak and prone to manipulation.

This is not a new idea, of course; the subjugation of men through the motivator of a womyn’s sex. However, I still agree that all sex is a rape, which would prohibit me from arguing for the sexualization of womyn. Yet when separated from a womyn and instead used intentionally by her as a filthy tool to confound a man and then discarded, it can still be effective.

Consider what a condom represents to a man. Condoms are viewed as disgusting encumbrances that reduce pleasure that are forced upon them by a weaker womyn who wants to justify sex by eliminating a man’s capability to get her pregnant. Unfortunately for her, he is still raping her by increasing her mental dependence on the physical pleasure he offers, which he is more than happy to sacrifice his procreative capability for at the moment.

In this same way, us womyn must entice men with a sexuality that they hunger for, that we despise, but that we conjure up artificially by (on the surface) following society’s idea of beauty. We of course sequester this false ideal from our true selves so that we may subjugate them further and still retain our womynhood.

This is the essence and the potency of 4th Wave Feminism over the 3rd.
