Ahh, the Atlantic. Between Salon, DailyKos and the Atlantic, I know where I can find ignorant, left-wing bullshit. The Atlantic delivers today: "The Great Gender Debates of 2013."

Hilariously ridiculous article.

The easiest rejoinder is the comments about Angelina Jolie were simply sad. Their gendered concern was appearing sexy after having both of your breasts removed. Whew! Good to know that when you are threatened with the specter of death your primary concern is a famous celebrity declaring that she is still sexy after having both of her breasts removed.

Still, it is amazing how the Atlantic *still* folds gay issues, transsexual issues and basically anything that falls under a social justice warrior's interests into their site aimed at women. It suggests they know men, even when liberal, don't buy the dog-and-pony show of gender/gay debates. As I observed the other week, it simply is strange to see men engage in these sorts of debates, as it highlights how weak social justice types truly are. Sitting around and bitching about how everybody else has it so good and you don't isn't masculine whatsoever.

You get more mindless "equality" drivel like the despicable Andy Hinds.

Quote:

To his dismay, one daughter eventually just said: “I don’t want to have a real career.

Really, your daughter doesn't want a career! The horror! She might end up a housewife because of her choices! Pathetic. Feminists don't try to hide the ball they are nothing but corporate and government shills and want to force women into paid employment so they can blow all their money on the shit they are told to want by marketers.

Then they talk about women who "opt-out" not realizing that there is no liberation here, just another set of standards for women to adhere to. When you consider staying home and taking care of your kids is a political statement, you will be a shit mother. Every time.

Finally, they still are bitching and whining about how a reign of androgyny will cure sexism. It won't. Plenty of herbs/hipsters/male feminists still harbor all sorts of feelings about women. Plenty of mannish women and the like harbor nasty thoughts about men. It was never going solve anything because the destruction of chivalry and formalized relations between men and women brought men and women into direct conflict, not just at home but in the workplace. We primarily see each other as adversaries and for good reason.

The progressive solution was to dissolve "gender" so men and women would socialized the exact same way. Of course, biology exists and that mucks the program up, but what is most striking is that socializing men and women differently has zero bearing on sexism. The sort of sexism the Atlantic is bitching about died long ago, but if they admit that is true, so much of their female demographic will start behaving hysterically as they need to blame their inability to achieve grandiosity is because of sexism.
