I'm a Man And I Support Your Right, As Acquired By Feminists, To Be An Idiot

An ode to Gina Davis and women who don't think they need feminism

Feminism

Some women, such as content contributor @GinaDavis, "[are] all about girl power, but [feel] in today’s world, [feminism is] getting shoved down [her] throat." I think feminism is the last thing she should worry about getting shoved down her throat, with the outcome of cases such as the one with Brock Turner, I'm surprised feminism is the only thing she could muster up her few brain cells to attack.

Let's have a conversation about what feminism actually is versus what delusional and uninformed Tomi Lahren supporters, i.e. (Gina Supporting Lahren), think it is.

I am a man and I'm a feminist.

"OMG," so before you have an aneurysm over how a man could possibly be a feminist, i.e. "However, I don’t believe that being a female entitles me to put down men and claim to be the “dominant” gender," said Davis. Assuming, based on her troublesome rhetoric, that only women are, or can be, feminists.

Let me explain to you why your entire existence is just a little bit problematic.

Feminism: the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities

I cannot fathom how any man or woman would not support the fight towards equality for both sexes and do so proudly. Feminism is not contrived, there has been a long history of oppression by the hands of men that has led to the modern concept of feminism.

1976, six years after the birth of my mother, was when it was declared that a husband must get consent to have sex with his wife or else he can get charged with rape. Fast forward to 2016 and all of these "rights" that Davis claims women have begins to look vague and obscure.

Jan. 2, 2016, women are finally allowed to serve in any job in the armed services, provided they meet gender neutral performance standards. This move, initiated in 2013 and finalized under Defense Secretary Ash Carter, opened approximately 220,000 jobs to women.

It wasn't until January of this year that equal representation was given to women in a specific workplace. Feminist women, the ones who fought to be able to fight for your rights in any job or position in the military finally received legislature allowing them to do so.

Feminism isn't about the Free the Nipple campaign or hairy women like you seem to think. Feminism isn't about not being a housewife, having to work and not wanting men to open doors for you. Feminism isn't about tearing down men more so that it is about diminishing the patriarchal hierarchy that stigmatizes women that don't want to be housewives and want to work the way that men are expected to in our society. Feminism is about women being ABLE to support, or do, whatever they want to without social stigma from men and women, like Davis.

So your stance on not liking feminists is odd because it's the very concept of feminism that allows you as a seemingly very privileged, beautiful (aesthetically), blond haired and white, woman, to have a respected opinion at all.

Because in the 60s, banks had the right to decline credit to an unmarried woman, it wasn't until 1973 your opinion was respected enough to serve on a jury, it wasn't until 1977 that you could get an ivy league education, even though I'm sure the University of South Florida is more than happy to have yo, so what I'm saying is I respect your opinion, you know, because I'm a feminist, but like Tomi Lahren, I think you talk with hollow thoughts.

To be as transparent as possible I'm not "attacking" you because you're a woman, I would hate to restart the whole scary black man thing, but more so honestly concerned that you like many others in this country think what you read off of Facebook constitutes as actual fact and doesn't just make you a pseudo-intellectual.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds.
