Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. I'm back, and this time not after a really long break. For some strange reason, I just really feel like writing these past days, so here I am -- rock you like a hurricane.
_______________________________
At the mention of tonight's topic, you'll all probably think that I'm being so touchy and sensitive about such little things. You guys might also call me a flaming homosexual, while the girls would probably praise me, call me sweet -- or they could also maybe call me a flaming homosexual. So what is tonight's topic? Go ask yourself right now what a guy would tell his guy friend, who punches soft.
Yes, tonight's topic is sexism, sexual discrimination, namely against women, so that means that this is going to be a feminist post.
You'll probably find it weird that a guy, a completely heterosexual guy, would bother to write about sexism against women. I mean, why would a guy even notice this shit? Well, let me tell you what I think:
Everyone should notice all this gender discrimination around them, no matter how minor or how major the case would be. Why? Well, it may not be a big deal, but it's the hypocrisy, the arrogance and the delusion! The hypocrisy of the people going on and on about being all made equally, yet looking down on women as if they're weak and unimportant, saying that all they're good for are house chores. The arrogance of the men who demean women, thinking they're so much better than the latter, and the delusion of all of you, saying that you see everyone equally, when sexism is so evident everywhere.
I remember this one time I was in class, and I taped this visual aid to the blackboard for my teacher, considering that I'm a tall guy. It was windy that day, and the wind blew the manila paper off the board, so I went back in front to put it back up, and the teacher, seeing the visual aid on the floor, complained to me, saying that I was doing "a girl's job". She didn't mean that putting up a big piece of paper was a job for a girl to do, but she was saying that I was doing it as badly as a girl, and in my mind, I was thinking, "What the fuck does being a girl have anything to do with not putting up a visual aid right?"
Weird was that when our teacher said that, my classmates were laughing, especially the girls too. I seemed to be the only one who was affected by her words, and it was strange because I'm not even a girl.
You're a guy and you punch somebody, and they'll tell you that you punch like a girl. Now, how come it's a common mind state that people believe that women are automatically physically weaker than men? I know girls that could surely kick my ass to hell and back!
The same things applies to being fearful of shit, not literal shit though. Let's say a guy walks in a garden, let's say this guy is me, because this guy really is me, and he doesn't touch anything because he hates insects. People would call him a girl. Why? Because people are stupid, and they're oblivious to the fact that the girls are just frolicking on the dirt, touching all the disgusting creatures their eyes could catch sight of.
Now, here's something people don't really see: the belittling of women in the Christian bible. I mean, the wives must always succumb to their husbands. Eve was created to be some kind of helper to Adam, as stated in Genesis 2: 18, "I will make him an help meet for him". If I were a woman, I probably never would've lasted long in Christianity. To think that the bible states that all people were made equally too, but that's just how I understand it.
Now, I don't know about the other religions, but I think in Islam, women are seen as of lesser importance and significance than the men, but I can not confirm these things. Never in my life was I a Muslim.
So main lesson, stop sexism. Just last Sunday, at church, the pastor was a very sexist person, and people look for him for the "Word of God", so no wonder people are sexist.
But why don't we just pass on positive sexism. That's sounds like a good idea, right? Well, not really, because saying that one gender is good at a certain task is like saying that the other gender is not, so that's still negative to at least one, so I guess all we could do is just stop talking -- but we all know that we can't keep our mouths shut.

Now, that's all for tonight.
Never again will I talk about this topic, sexism.
Maybe tomorrow night I could talk about racism next.
Good night, internet.
