Trigger warning: this article discusses sexual assault, suicide, and animal abuse.

As you can probably infer from the headline, I am speaking as a legitimate woman. I am female; always have been, always will be. I’m going to say a lot of things that will make feminists and SJWs uncomfortable, but they’re not just arbitrary opinions, these are facts backed by evidence.

I’m just going to begin by saying that I support equal rights for every human being, regardless of gender, race, sexuality, culture, religion, or what have you. Every person deserves respect and is entitled to their own opinions. Also, I’m not claiming that oppression of women does not exist; I am perfectly aware of less developed countries where women do not possess equal rights. For this blog-post I will mostly be referring to Western culture, particularly American and European.

“Get back to the kitchen!”

I love it when my boyfriend slaps me on the ass and bellows, “Get back to the kitchen, woman!” or, “You do the washing up because that’s the woman’s job!”

These remarks are of course jokes and actually our relationship is extremely equal, balanced, and inclusive. We both do dishes, we both do laundry, we both do cleaning, we both do dinner. We take turns to do things and we figure out who does what like adults; with a game of rock-paper-scissors, duh!

We are free to make jokes about gender, because at the end of the day we both know that we love each other no matter what and we are equal. We only wish that the rest of society could be like our relationship.

Instead, everyone treads on eggshells whenever discussing a sensitive topic such as gender equality. God forbid if anyone dares to oppose the SJWs, or make jokes about how inferior women are. The feminist movement to me is rather like a religion, believing in something that doesn’t exist, forcing their agenda on everyone, and persecuting anyone who objects. Christians believe in God, Muslims believe in Allah, and feminists believe that in every aspect of society women are continuously oppressed and marginalised. Spoilers: they’re not. And my purpose here today is to prove to you that it’s actually the other way round; women rule society from the inside.

The most troubling thing of all is all the misinformation surrounding the women’s rights movement. From the Pink Tax to sexual assault, I want to debunk the myths about gender equality and show you just how equal men and women are. (Short answer: we live in a matriarchy).

Closing the gender gap

I despair every time I see feminists banging on about their equal pay. News flash for you: by law, men and women have had to be paid equally since 1970 in the UK, and since 1963 in the US. Why are feminists fighting for something they already have? If anything, it’s men who might be the ones who should fight for equal pay, as Google’s internal investigation found that they were paying their male employees less than females for the same job!

Another thing they like to complain about is how there is a huge gender gap between the number of men and women who pursue careers in STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering, mathematics). I cannot deny that there is a definite gender imbalance in STEM jobs, despite studies showing that girls and boys in school perform the same as each other (with girls occasionally outperforming boys).

However, I don’t think we should be campaigning to get more girls in STEM careers, until we start campaigning to get more boys in HEED careers (health, elementary education, domestic). And, perhaps more to the point, I don’t think we should be campaigning to close the gender gap in high paying jobs like doctors, engineers, politicians unless we also campaign to get more girls in low-wage jobs like garbage collectors, plumbers, and bus drivers.

Campaigns like these just show off women’s desire for equal opportunity, but not equal responsibility. They want better gender representation in the high-class, high-wage jobs but they’re not prepared to acknowledge the low-class, low-wage jobs that are dominated by men. They are also not bothered about encouraging men to work in HEED jobs. If feminists truly wanted gender equality, this is what they would have to do. You can’t have women dominating the high-wage jobs and men all in the low-wage jobs, and neither can you have equal gender representation in high-wage jobs without also have equal representation in low-wage jobs; that’s not very equal now, is it?

And I haven’t even taken into account yet that the gender gap in STEM fields might be caused by innate biological differences. It may be that, on average, women prefer to work in HEED careers, and men prefer STEM careers, and there is nothing you can do to change it. There are studies showing that women are simply disinterested in STEM careers, and on average lack the innate mathematical ability to pursue STEM areas to a high educational level. Men’s brains are more lateral, meaning they are better at performing spatial tasks which is an essential skill in order to work in a STEM field. There have been studies showing that women tend to be better at language and communication, making them better suited to HEED careers, whereas “males outperform females on most measures of visuospatial abilities, which have been implicated as contributing to sex differences on standardized exams in mathematics and science”.

It is worth noting that I also wanted to discuss the Pink Tax here, but after looking into it I realised it needed a whole blog-post of its own. Yep, that’s how much misinformation and hypocrisy there is surrounding the Pink Tax. So watch this space for an article on the Pink Tax. Long story short, though, it’s basically a huge lie and so far I’ve found no evidence to support that it actually exists.

Women use their bodies to gain privilege.

It is no secret that female Twitch streamers who have their rack on show, wear makeup, and style their hair (what I like to call “Twitch thots”) gain way more viewers than females who don’t. It is also extremely apparent that these Twitch thots receive a lot more leniency when it comes to violating terms of service agreements, in some cases receiving no punishment for animal abuse and harassment, when their male counterparts get temporary and permanent bans for way less severe violations.

Just recently, a Twitch thot known as Alinity received absolutely zero penalties as a result of throwing her cat, force-feeding it vodka, and kicking her dog live on Twitch. On the other hand, Twitter users who reported her actions were banned instead for “harassment” – so reporting animal abuse is harassment now?

(Above) Alinity throwing her cat, 100% speed and 50% speed.

Worse yet, a year ago a male streamer accidentally dropped his catfish, and was banned for it. So an accident gets you banned, but intentionally throwing your pets gets you nothing. Twitch’s gender bias towards women (particularly the attractive ones) is undeniable and has been an ongoing issue for years; and it doesn’t look like it’s going to stop any time soon.

It’s so obvious that women can use their bodies to get whatever they want, especially money. Female cam models and pornstars earn a lot more than males, female Instagram models have a lot more followers than males, and I have no doubt that some women use their appearance to their advantage to gain job promotions, special discounts, and small favours.

And if you think you’ll only get special privileges if you have big boobs and a pretty face, you’d be wrong. Women hold plenty of advantages over men; men have to fight much harder for custody over their children, men are more likely to be homeless, men are highly unlikely to receive alimony, men pay more for car insurance, men receive longer prison sentences for the same crimes.

Guilty until proven innocent.

Feminists are under the illusion that women are powerless and oppressed, when in reality women are the most powerful of all.

Why?

Because one man’s career can be annihilated overnight with just three words.

“He raped me!”

Tell me how Cardi B can literally admit to drugging and robbing men, and not get immediately arrested?

And yet someone can come out publicly that a man allegedly sexually assaulted them, without a shred of evidence, and the accused’s career is decimated.

I know false accusations are rare and very serious, and I don’t deny that men can be raped. But my point is how come a woman can openly admit to drugging and robbing men with relatively little consequence, but a man has no way to defend himself if a woman accuses them of the same crime? For men, it’s guilty-until-proven-innocent, for women, it’s remain-innocent-despite-admitting-to-guilt.

Men can be rape victims too.

Just out of curiosity, I researched statistics for male rape victims and was mortified to find that there are virtually no statistics for circumstances where a woman has raped a man by self-insertion. Do you know why? Because by law, rape is defined as “intentionally penetrating the vagina, anus or mouth of another person with his penis” without the consent of the other person and without a reasonable belief that that other person has consented. You need to have a penis in order to rape an adult, which means that by definition, a woman cannot commit rape.

However, a woman can commit assault by penetration if they intentionally penetrate the vagina or anus of another person with a part of their body “or anything else”.

There is no way, by law, for a woman to commit rape or assault by forced self-insertion i.e. inserting the man’s penis into herself. This perplexes me to no end; how can a woman not be a rapist by self-insertion?

And what baffles me more, is that this is actually up for debate! That’s right; there are people out there who actually believe that it is impossible for a man to be a victim of rape by self-insertion.

I find it truly saddening that most countries have no laws preventing women from raping men via forced self-insertion. And what’s worse is that there are very few statistics on just how many men are assaulted in this manner. In fact, the very first study in the UK to investigate male rape was published just 2 years ago, and a second study emerged last month, questioning a mere 30 men. It is clear to me that society just simply doesn’t care about male victims.

Men do not have to be aroused to receive an erection. Men can be drugged, they can be scared, they can be blackmailed, they can be unconscious, heck they can change their mind about having sex too, just like women. Under all these circumstances, it counts as rape. Why is this up for debate?

Women hold all the power when it comes to sexual abuse. A woman can rape a man and there is nothing he can do about it. He’ll get laughed at, and then have to pay out of his own pocket for a child he didn’t want.

The “most privileged” are the most likely to commit suicide.

After all my research, it is hardly surprising to find that male suicide rates are much higher than female, as much as 3.5 times more. White middle-aged men, the demographic that feminists say to be the most privileged, account for the highest percentage of suicides. According to feminists, these are the people who are the luckiest, the most powerful, the most influential, the highest paid, the over-represented… and yet they are the most likely to feel the need to take their own lives. If that doesn’t convince you that there is something fundamentally wrong with the feminist movement, then I don’t know what will.

It all boils down to women wanting equal rights, but not equal responsibility.

I like to sum up the current feminist movement in one tweet:

As soon as women are asked to take on equal responsibility to men, feminists have a sudden desire to become simple housewives again. They’re all for gender equality, but when actual gender equality becomes involved, they don’t want to know.

To conclude…

Clearly, as a woman, you can hold many advantages over men – and this is just as true the other way round. The point I am trying to raise here today is that feminists tend to paint themselves as the victim all the time when it simply isn’t true. Women hold a lot more power in society than they think they do.

Furthermore, when you ignore the hypocrisy of the feminist movement and take their message of equality at face-value, we again find a fundamentally flawed campaign. We forget that men and women are different from each other at biological and physical levels. We can never achieve full equality because it’s like comparing apples and oranges, but neither fruit is no less valid than the other. Together, they can make great things, and they’re pretty good on their own too.

And the very last thing that everyone seems to forget is that it is proven again and again that men and women share more similarities than differences. To use the apples and oranges anecdote again: they are both fruit, they are both delicious, they both make up a healthy diet, they both grow on trees. Yeah, they taste and look different because they have fundamentally different DNA, and apples work better in pies whereas oranges are nice with chocolate; but neither fruit is less valid than the other.

We should celebrate our differences and similarities, and treat everyone as unique individuals. A lot of us fail to keep in mind that we all have our own woes and struggles, and you can never know what someone is/was going through just by looking at them. As a society we are way too judgemental and draw plain and simple conclusions over complex issues, often-times without looking into a single study or statistic.
