The Art of the Cunt (Dear Women..)



A response to 'The Art of the Hunt (Dear Men...)

Five or six decades ago, the situation women were placed in from birth was terrible. In exchange for complete submission to their male ‘partners’ and the machismo rule of the patriarch, women were allowed small concessions such as doors being held open and subway seats being given up.

Women had been fighting for over sixty years for rights they never thought would come. Equality was a dream so far away that it was almost comical to mention it. Forty years after the largest feminist swing in politics, I’m seeing the blood and tears of a countless number of progressive women blasphemed.

Why did men hold doors for women? Why did men carry the heavier physical load? Why were men paid to be leaders while women were ‘taken care of’ and placed in a kitchen? Because men wanted women to believe they were weak. This bulletin entitled ‘The Art of the Hunt’ seems to imply that weakness and femininity have something in common. I think it’s sad that after all of the battles that have been fought in the name of equality and all of the media attention feminism has received over the years, women still think that men are ‘designed’ to take some form of initiative. They still don’t understand what equality is.

Being the CEO of a company or a candidate for the presidency doesn’t mean that you’re equal. Freedom is held within, and until you let yourself understand that kindness should be given and initiative should be taken according to circumstances, not gender, women will never be equal.

Before you call men pussies for wondering what a woman is thinking, maybe you should think about the life you’d have if men stopped caring about a woman’s right to be independent. Just because you want to be pampered and flattered on the grounds of anti-woman and anti-progress coziness doesn’t mean that the rest of the women in the world should have to suffer the consequences.

So to those of my friends that reposted this intellectually vacant bulletin: Shame on you. Shame on all of you for begging after all these years to be taken care of because of emotional differences created by hundreds of years of a patriarchy. Do you know who ‘designed’ men to be the providers? Men. The same way they designed you to be helpless.

You can be feminine and strong. You can be feminine and aggressive. You can be feminine and not be a fucking moron.
