The Flip Side of the Marriage Strike - Hegemonic Heterosexual White Men, you SUCK

Stumbled upon this wonderful example of Marxist/Feminist hate speech, on Truthout (http://www.truth-out.org/capitalism-and-loneliness-why-pornography-multibillion-dollar-industry/1324586390 ). If you are interested in a Marxist/Feminist opinion on crappy privileged White Males and why they can't even get it up for real girls anymore because of their porn addictions, read the whole thing. You will be treated to such gems as: "The hegemonic position of heterosexual males has been destroyed as the relentless capitalist search for profit eliminated and outsourced jobs and lowered wages" and "Capitalism has polluted the experience of reciprocal connection in our very bedrooms and bodies."


The Feminist Marriage Strike

I was struck by the feminist perspective on the Marriage Strike:

"Women have responded to men's financial incapacity and refusal to share equally in housework and childcare. Women can no longer bear the extra work in caring for men who can neither support them nor compensate for women's quadruple shifts in domestic labor, emotional labor, childcare and jobs outside of the home. US women increasingly refuse to marry men who cannot provide economic support and still want full personal services. Women currently initiate most US divorces and, increasingly, refuse to marry in the first place. Women can now afford to live in single households, and do. The majority of people of prime marriage and childbearing age (18-34 years old) remain unmarried and live alone.

These changes have drastically altered the pattern of intimate relationships. Shifts in gender roles and employment required women to adjust by taking on career and job responsibilities and living alone, or alone with children. Most men have not adjusted. Their former workforce and gender roles allowed men to grow accustomed to outsourcing their emotional needs and life maintenance activities to women, who are now far less available."

Translating:

Crappy, privileged White Males deserve to stay single because they can't bring home enough bacon, or deserve to get divorced because they don't pick up around the house, care for the kids enough, or provide enough emotional support.

Dummy Feminist as Capitalist Stooges

The largest irony is that Feminism itself is nothing more or less than a Capitalist conspiracy to exploit women, both for their labor and their consumerism. Only really dumb and/or brainwashed people would fail to see this obvious fact. Of the top 50 ways you could hope to improve the lives of the female gender, forcing them to be wage slaves "independent" of the lives of their families is probably at the bottom of the list.

The Self-Annihilation of the Feminist Economic Agenda

Supposedly, the lower wages in the deteriorating economy forced women into the workplace. The irony is that it is nothing less than the mass movement of women towards economic "independence" that prevents that very independence, through the working of two unintended consequences:

1) more laborers in the labor poor drives down wages
2) more independent households drive up costs of living

Thus, the more women seek "independence" via work, the less able they are to achieve economic independence, because wages are so low and housing costs so high. A cruel irony, that.

The Family Law Front

The feminist assault on traditional family law provides the real source of combustion for this Engine of Capitalist Exploitation. By turning marriage dissolution into an easily-initiated (by women) and self-benefiting (for women) exploitation-fest (for men), not only are more marriages dissolved, the Marriage Strike is guaranteed to spread, as more and more men fail to consent to the horrific terms.

Less and less marriage means more and more women in the workforce, which means lower and lower wages, higher and higher living costs, etc, which forces more and more women into the workplace, etc, etc, etc....

Mwah ha ha ha! It is all going according to Evil Capitalist plan! And these absurd Marxist Feminists act as the Judas Goats leading the dumb female bovines to their Capitalist slaughter. Ouch. Sad, really.

The Feminist Marxist Solution

"How can we emerge from this epidemic of personal isolation and loneliness? ... The 99 percent movement is characterized by democratic decision making, respect, transparency, and race and gender equality. Together, people strive to end rule by and for the 1 percent of profiteers who have steered America into economic and emotional destitution."

Firstly, need I point out that this solution is a total nonsequitor, having nothing whatever to do with improving human relations, curing loneliness, or ending the average person's "emotional destitution". [Following the logic, they seem to be implying that an increase in everyone's wage would be just the trick of ending personal isolation... but how? A return to traditional marriage since women no longer have to work?]

Ironically, as a member of legally suppressed minority group (White men), I would welcome a movement towards racial and gender equality. However, by "equality", I think our Feminist-Marxist authors mean the horse-racing style of equality, wherein the faster horse is made to carry more weight to slow it down for a more equal race. [i.e., Feminist-Marxist equality means "more legal suppression of White males and more wealth taken from them", to accomplish an EQUALITY OF OUTCOMES].

I would also welcome a movement towards democratic decision making, since the country has been transformed Leftward by the REPUDIATION of democracy, as social policy is now set by judicial fiat. After all, the list of Leftist policies enacted with NO popular support, solely by judicial mandate, is astounding (*** see below ***).

I don't know what else to say. This entire substance of Marxist Feminist anti-male, anti-White, anti-Capitalist, illogical screeding just clouds the mind and saps the will. [yes, exactly as good propaganda intends...]

Peace be with thy spirit, friends.


"Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy. "




*** off the top of my head I can think of homosexuality, pornography, public indecency/obscenity, illegal immigration, abortion, and of course the elimination of school prayer. Time after time, some local community or entire state tries to pass a law to reign in some Leftist social pathology, and some unelected judge just throws it out. Let's face facts shall we? Democracy is dead. The "supremacy of the commons" understanding of democracy was overthrown, instead, we now have the medieval practice of "supremacy of the lords", wherein all laws and policies ultimately rest with unelected elites, the commoners being mere petitioners whose laws can be swatted down or ignored.
