"You can't hit me, I'm a girl!"


^ That's a good example of something wrong with the world: women combating sexism with sexism and blacks fighting racism with racism, among many other examples of hypocrisy of the likes - because fire extinguishes fire, of course. "Your ancestors mistreated mine! Watch out, Cracker Jack honky bitch!" And of course it's wrong to say "Nigger!" back. There's really nothing a whitie can respond with, actually - like, what, apologize for my ancestors? This isn't the Bible; I can't be fucked to apologize for something I didn't do.

I seriously doubt that'll blow my mind away.
But it's okay for blacks to toss it around and women to hit men, so white dudes are getting chewed out for shit our ancestors did both ways. I don't care about the privilege to use "Nigger" in front of a black person; it's one word my social vocabulary can survive without. What bothers me is when a white person who clearly isn't racist puts the word out in harmless context, and suddenly every black friend of his shits him out in assorted chunks of white meat in the women's wall-mount latrines (because women have penises) while Deyquan can shout it along 8 Mile where nobody has a 9th mile to give about it.

That's because everyone knows blacks aren't being racist when they use it. Context, context. Am I racist for using the word in this article? No, I wouldn't use it to anyone's face, but we all know that instantly makes me a pussy. More profiling, more fun! I'm sexist and racist for my ancestors and a pussy for being peaceful. Because violence is good - until you hit a woman, but even if you haven't, you're the reason your grandfather hit his wife Luann.

So if you asked me, the top picture's sexism 'justified' behind a front of historic abuse. Incensed women protest for equal rights, then claim their gender has an unspoken immunity to male aggression - which doesn't work vice versa. This, and the frequent "All men are full of shit!" and it's obvious to me this is no different than blacks administering 'equal rights' by returning the racial hatred against a generation of white folk who had no involvement with their families' previous racial conflicts. It's happened to me before, I know what this is.

There's also religion. I know the most about Christianity, so I pick bones with the rib-woman concept of Eve while Adam, a man, is a full-bodied individual. I won't ignore other religions' misogynistic implications though, like polygamy and male dominance, and my girlfriend's Nepali Hindu family. Her father claims men are perfectly pure while women 'stain like ink on a white sheet', where everyone knows the 'wrong' they do because they're so 'easily dirtied'. This is the sort of thing I'm talking about. (I like to argue their culture's men aren't so 'easily dirtied' because they're already full of shit.)

Women don't have it quite as easy as men. I'll admit it. I know it's much easier in the U.S. but it can still be kinda bothersome to know your gender's the poster child for sex as a whole. The bullshit comes full-circle in more rings than the Olympics logo: Porn, religion, mainstream rap music, and public sexualism are just four of them. It's extended into football and alcohol, both being objects of male interest, so naturally women are used with both to grab men's attention easier. Marketing sex is perfectly fine in my eyes, until it starts unhealthy trends - then we've opened the gateway to imbalanced treatment toward a group of people. In this case, the audience most targeted, affected or produced by sexualized ads seem to be the misogynistic ones. Reminds me of a recent American Apparel ad featuring gay couples kissing, which I had to smile at, because the influence is positive: accepting gays as they are.

Surely you've noticed the criticism the average American male shares for the shape of a woman's body, demanding hourglass figures with fake tits and the whole deal. Well, word to women: Only the fake dudes want a fake woman. So be proud of that body and don't let the assholes convince you the nice ones don't exist. But don't act like bitches to every one of us too; that just creates more assholes out of otherwise nice guys. Likewise, you assholes need to let up on the women, 'cause you're helping increase the population of bitches. A vicious cycle... another full circle, another ring.

Here's a conflict of maturity: I laugh at discriminatory jokes, because I take'm as jokes. But some people think they're actually serious, and either get offended or follow by example. That's what bothers me about these 'jokes' now... I can't be sure who's being affected in what ways anymore. It's sad. I'm concerned that after enough people claim, "It's just a joke, I'm just kidding," everyone will use that as a grounds for discriminatory treatment. It only looks innocent on the surface.

Because women are nothing more than the rib of a man.
If you doubt it's a realistic prediction, have a look at religion using innocent excuses for all the shit they do and believe. They just say their loving God told them to do it. "Our righteous, fair Lord God commands you to treat women second to men."  The bad part is, you can't reason with them by asking why, because they'll pull the God-works-in-mysterious-ways card, and, "True faith doesn't ask why." So it's horrible the Nazis never questioned their duties, but it's alright to unquestioningly kill others for some fundamentalist wolrdview, like Nazism wasn't something similar to that. "Our all-loving, all-forgiving, righteous and fair Lord God says Muslims and Hindus are idolators; that's why we killed them. It was for a good cause! Don't they get it?" Yeah: You might deserve to fucking die if you aren't sorry for it. But instead, we should all be sorry for Adam and Eve eating the Forbidden Fruit even though we didn't do it, right?... Just like blaming all men for women's past conflicts, and all whites for Jim Crow. I didn't do that shit. You can't fix what isn't broken, so blame the people perpetuating that bullshit, not me.

Sitting on blame and just pointing fingers won't solve anything by itself though. Back to fire vs. fire, blacks beating the shit out of the problematic whites will only prove those whites are right when they 'niggrify' blacks as violent, unintelligent people. Remember Martin Luther King Jr? He nailed it. And then he proved he was right when he succeeded. Same with Rosa Parks, and she was a woman, man, she had it twice as bad.

I get it. Only pussies drink Budweiser.
But some people are fixated on everyone in a certain gender, or color, culture, etc. being all the same. I don't shed a tear of sympathy for anyone looking at it that way. I'll hit a black woman if in defense for myself or another. I'll also hit a white male to defend a black woman. I'm more likely to go off on a white dude than a black woman, to kinda honest. But if I'm expected to let myself get beat to shit and be taken advantage of because I'm a white dude myself... well... maybe I'm the one who should be protesting instead.
