''You go girl,'' seems to be the mantra when films depict women beating up men, and so on. If women scream at men from across the street (aka female catcalling?) we applaud that, but Europe is passing laws to keep men from doing this to women. The feminist movement is fluid, and as it morphs, it seems to be promoting this image of women being permitted to do whatever we wish, without consequences. No one should question me, no one should doubt me, I should be believed at all costs, because well, I'm a woman. I don't feel empowered at all by such nonsense.
But yeah, bad people are just bad people.
This is also why I dislike this new Gillette ad, because it just distances men and women even further, because it comes across as sycophantic.
Yes, men, you keep falling on your knees, groveling to all us women for how awful you are! And you will like it that way.
Yeah, feminism seems to be more interested in infantilizing women. They seem to say that women can do whatever they want but somehow get to avoid the consequences men would face for that same behavior. It's a gender supremacist double standard. But that's how they believe you correct past wrongs...revenge.
