The women's rights hypocrisy, Part I.
All women are not created equal when it comes to the women's rights movement. Some want full equality and will not rest until women make as much as men and compose 50% of every part of the workforce from the boardroom to the mailroom, from the hospital to the dump truck. Others realize that men and women are indeed different, and as a result, they accept the differences and sometimes even embrace them. But the ones that piss me off the most are the ones who want to pick and choose which equal rights they want as long as they don't forfeit the benefits of being a woman. That is called hypocrisy friends.
From the eyes of a man who was raised to be a gentleman and treat women a certain way, let me tell you what I observe are benefits to being a woman. One of the biggest perks that women have is the concept of marriage.
Women have ultimate control over their weddings, from gift registries to reception details including food and music. The only reason men hate weddings so much is because they were invented by women for women and we're just kind of there to be there. We don't have a say in any of it. Have you ever seen a wedding gift registry? What in those registries screams out "This is an awesome guy thing?" It's all stupid shit like silverware, wine glasses, plates, curtains, linens, towels that are for looking at instead of using, and maybe if the guy is lucky, some power tools so he can fix shit instead of watch football.
A man's gift registry would involve a mini-beer fridge, a recliner, a massaging chair, a pool table, motorcycle accessories, stereo equipment, movies that don't suck, not shit with flowers on it. And the ceremony itself, do we really need all those flowers? I want Wee Man to be the ring bearer, not your snot-nosed nephew. Screw the caviar and chicken and that big cake that tastes awful. We should have nothing but steak, and if someone doesn't eat steak, why the fuck did you invite them to the wedding? None of my friends avoid steaks, they know what's up. Also, why can't we get the nacho fountain like in Talladega Nights? And for dessert, Bailey's. Not Bailey's and coffee, just shots of Bailey's.
And damnit, I want metal at the reception, not a bunch of lame love songs. I want to hear Slayer, not Tom Jones, System of a Down not Sister Hazel, Anthrax not Rod Stewart, Korn not George Strait. And none of that canned shit, I want to hear it live. If my band would play for a grand, other great bands that can rock out would do the same.
Fast-forward to the divorce, which is how most marriages end these days. Every television show and book where a couple splits up, the man gets his shit and leaves. Why doesn't the woman ever leave? And the concept of alimony is completely bogus. A man works and pays for his wife to sit around and not work, and then they split up and she wants money for not working? What kind of bullshit is that? What self-respecting man even fathoms trying to ask a judge for money for not working for years? And this is in addition to the proven preference of judges to award custody to mothers instead of fathers.
If feminists truly wanted to make pure equality a reality, they would push for men to plan weddings and eliminate the bias towards women in divorce and custody proceedings. But heaven forbid that feminists come out and say that equality would make women worse off in some aspects. Tune in next time as I point out more privileges that women don't want to give up.
Can Nonz do more to piss off the female gender? Yes he can kiddies...
