Penultimate Straw
by Sam Aurelius Milam III
The
feminist movement has a fundamentally different goal than other "equality"
movements. However misguided those other movements may be, they do
pursue equality. Although feminists claim to pursue equality, they
actually want something very different.
The
latest proof is the "all girl" high school math classes. That's right,
the cutting edge in public education today is freshman algebra for girls
only (Presque Isle, Maine; Ventura, California; and elsewhere).
The reason? Girls aren't learning math as well as boys. The
report1
suggests that they never have, but God forbid that anybody should admit
some inherent difference in aptitude. The excuse advanced by "educators"
is that girls are distracted from learning math when there are boys in
the class. The girls are too bashful to ask questions. They're
concerned about their appearance. They're afraid the boys will laugh
at them. Consequently, these daughters of the sexual equality mandate
are getting their own sexually segregated math classes.
Meanwhile,
at North Salinas High School in Salinas, California (and presumably elsewhere),
girls have forced their way into the boys wrestling class.2
They claim they have a "right" to be there. If the boys are bothered
by grappling on the floor with their nubile young female classmates, the
boys will just have to deal with it. The girls don't care if teenage
boys might have difficulty learning wrestling when there are girls in the
class. Being careful not to grab anything sexual will just be a normal
part of learning their holds and throws. Did the girls all agree
in advance that they won't accuse the boys of fondling? Don't be
ridiculous.
If
girls can have their own math classes to avoid being distracted by boys,
then why can't boys have their own wrestling classes to avoid being distracted
by girls? This kind of arrogant hypocrisy is typical of the feminist
movement. Some of them demand equality when they want a "right",
then the others whine about their special needs when they want an extra
privilege. Men, of course, are trapped in the middle. The lessons
being taught here have little to do with math and wrestling and a lot to
do with female supremacy and the subordination of men. These lessons
won't be lost on the kids. The hand that rules the cradle rocks the
world.
In
recent years, women in the U.S.A. have equaled or surpassed men as aggressive
advocates of bearing arms. One such woman, speaking of her concealed
handgun,3
said, "I think it's a great equalizer between a 110 pound woman and a 220
pound man." It turns out that a handgun is a great equalizer for
a 110 pound person of either sex. However, groups like Safety for
Women and Responsible Motherhood (SWARM)4
aren't advocating armed citizens. They're advocating armed women.
In
Sao Paulo, Brazil, there's a police station that, as a matter of official
policy, is staffed exclusively by female cops. Their only agenda
is to neutralize men who are accused (by women) of mistreating women.5
Such a uniformed force of armed women on an anti-male crusade is a pretty
good definition of feminazis. Women can also have special protection
under the law closer to home. Clinton recently opened within the
U.S. Department of Justice a new office dedicated entirely to the prosecution
of so-called crimes against women. The U.S. government is also providing
$26 million in grants to the states for the same purpose.6
These
are all straws blowing before the storm. Feminists, and particularly
feminazis, have been accumulating power over men for decades now.
As I watch the news, I see that around the world they're intent upon a
coercive and increasingly militant policy of domination, justified all
the while by their hypocritical rhetoric of sexual equality. While
they loudly whine about their plight, they gradually ease into control
of the means of control.
Today,
the feminists have moved so politically far from men that they have become,
in effect, a distinct ethnic group. Today, there are ethnic conflicts
raging throughout the world, some of them driven by grievances of no greater
consequence than those presently being provided by the feminists.
Men can be pushed only so far; we've taken up arms before in lesser
causes than this. Nobody can infallibly predict the future, but I
expect the conflict will escalate. My best guess is that, in the
not too distant future, the battle of the sexes will become very real.![10x5 Page Background GIF Image](../../Images/10x5_Page_Background.gif)

Word Abuse
observed by
Sam Aurelius Milam III
On
Wednesday, February 1, 1995, the MacNeil/Lehrer Newshour presented a segment
on the artist Jacob Lawrence. In this segment, while referring to
some people who had exhibited notable courage, Charlayne Hunter-Gault used
the words "heros and sheros". This is typical feminist lunacy about
masculine pronouns, but the he in
hero isn't even a pronoun.
Besides that, there's already a feminine form of the word: heroine.
Oh
well, we're lucky she didn't say personroes.![10x5 Page Background GIF Image](../../Images/10x5_Page_Background.gif)
