The (almost) daily ramblings of an owned girl. Hopefully I'll provide a little bit of insight into the mind of a girl slave/pet, without to much ranting.

A Rant About Male Superiority (pt 2)
So, I mentioned there'd be a part 2. Here we go.
A lot of what I hear or read about male superiority blames everything from crack whores to the economy on the emasculation of males in our society. That they are curbed somehow by women, and that all the woes of the world are because women have trained men not to BE men.
I call bullshit.
If men were so superior to start with, why in the world would we ever have gotten to this point? Why would the feminist movement have succeeded (or succeeded as well as it has) if women weren't worth anything? It seems that if you want to blame weak, stupid, born to be controlled women for making men weak, you have to admit in there that women are not as useless, or lesser, as you claim.
I don't know if my line of thought there is very clear. Here's what I'm trying to say, broken down as it came to my mind:
If all women are born to submit, then all men are born to control.
If this is the case, women would never have thrown up enough fuss to change that situation, right?
So, if men=better, women would never have succeeded in challenging that, as biology would have prevented a large enough number of them to change anything from existing at the same time.
So there's no way we would have emasculated men enough to make them accept us as equals, unless men were NOT superior to begin with, but rather just had the advantage of being born into a society that PLACED more value in them.
Even well before the modern day, women of note existed, and many women were very good at doing the work while convincing the men that it was their husband, or son, or whomever that society would accept as the mastermind.
Yes, women tend to rely on mental ability, sex appeal, and familial connections as their weapons instead of brute force, swords, and war, but it's a different set of weapons, not a less useful or valuable one. If I can get what I want by flashing boobs, and a man can get it by beating someone, I'd actually say my method was more effective and efficient.
I do believe it has always been a game of give and take, and always will be.

My rule of thumb: anyone saying that one group of people is inherently superior to another is to be ignored because they're at best silly and at worst harmful. I just read your other post on this topic, and I agree that there are a lot of people in the BDSM community (especially online ...) who don't seem to be able to separate fantasy from reality.
ReplyDeleteI know I get myself wayyy to worked up over this. Especially since I tend to be 'live and let live' on pretty well everything else. And honestly, even here, I could let it go as a 'whatever' until about the time I had a girl child.
DeleteI still wouldn't bother with actively challenging people who spew such crap as truth or logic, mainly because it isn't worth my time to try. Kind of an 'arguing religion' issue. It's simply not worth it since it will never get anywhere.
I'm about done with ranting about it, though. Eventually there may be a Gor post, but I have avoided the corners of the internet that piss me off for the past week or so, so maybe I'll calm the rest of the way down before then.
Thanks for commenting! Was beginning to wonder if I'd pissed off the world with these two posts :)
Oh, I think you're completely right to be bothered and justified in ranting! It is indeed super-annoying! And I liked these posts - it's always cool to read stuff by people thinking critically about this stuff. Not just saying "this is wrong!" but developing an argument for WHY it's wrong.
DeleteAnd, oh I always love to read Gor rants. :D
