The world needs all sorts. If someone wants to lie, cheat and steal, others can object and impose consequences till they’re blue in the face but it’s still the liar’s, the cheater’s, the stealer’s choice to carry out said actions. Unless we reach the s
Now, in view of centuries of women struggling for social equality, consider the following.
cary world of Minority Report where un-crimes are punished, we all have the choice to act. ‘Good’ and ‘Bad’ are after all notoriously subjective notions. Impact on society and society’s response to that impact is the crucial point. Now, in view of centuries of women struggling for social equality, consider the following.
Whatever your gender, it’s your choice if you want to be materialistic, lazy, uncaring, shallow, sponging, sadistic, narcissistic, insecure, antisocial, under-educated, unthinking over-privileged irresponsible prat. You are completely free to be that.
However, social equality cannot be attained with such action in the midst. Punishment and consequences for actions that are detrimental to society are by their nature incompatible with equality. Yet we have no mechanism except this to try to combat detrimental action choices.
Another way of saying this is that everyone ends up getting tarred with the same brush. Which is a very objectionable sort of egalitarianism.
So, here’s the deal. If you want to use sex to sponge off your partner you’re free to do so but you don’t have access to the good jobs or the equal pay others have been fighting for. If you hoot at ‘celebrities’ who’ve either got fat or thin or wore the right/wrong clothes, that’s your choice. Enjoy. But you’re not entitled to counselling when you’re suicidal about being rejected by your peers because you’re wearing the wrong jeans or your toenails were painted the wrong colour.
Let’s call these people who destroy everything feminists have been fighting for by a term other than ‘Woman’. You can’t campaign for ‘women’s rights’ when they are in the mix. Let’s call them a different name altogether. Nothing derogatory; that wouldn’t be fair. Just different. Say, ‘Eve’. If you choose to be an Eve, you stay in the Middle Ages. If you don’t, you move on. I’d suggest that men can be Eves too, as long as they meet the behavioural criteria. Same rules apply.
So now you have three choices. Are you a Man, Woman or Eve? Think hard.
