Gender "Equality" Will Never Happen (And it Shouldn't)

      In our current political climate there are an abundance of hot topics which have been wrongly overly politicized. One of these is "Gender Equality," and it's a trap. Specifically in America I've observed over the past few years that identity politics have become more and more prevalent, and it's not only idiotic, it's harmful to our society as a whole. Especially since this past election cycle we've been told by the collective voice of "The Left" that if you're a woman you should be on "their side" because "The Right" wishes to bring you down while they want to empower you. They've painted the other side of the political spectrum as misogynistic white men who care only about marginalizing certain sectors of the country, and if you're a woman they're out to get you. If you're a homosexual they're out to get you. If you're a minority you should really be worried because they're comin! If you let Trump have his way he'll get slavery back up in this bitch! So everyone who's not straight, white, or a man flock over to us. We'll protect you!

      In response to this the other side has done the same thing. If you're a veteran, a man, straight, or white you need to be on the right. Because otherwise you're a "cuck," and you deserve to get your ass beat. Forget knowing anything about the ideology behind being a liberal or a conservative because everything's predetermined for you. The left will tell you that they have the moral high ground, and anyone who opposes them is simply a bad person. It's not that they have different values and belief systems, they're just evil, and you shouldn't even humor their malicious intents. On the flip side the right will tell you that everyone who opposes them is actually just stupid and weak. They obviously haven't looked into anything that they're saying, and all of them are just weak pushovers who deserve to be bullied.

Ok I'm done with my little rant, but that serves as an introduction to what I actually want to say.

      This widespread approach to different ideologies is a really bad thing, because it creates echo chambers in what should be the most open and interconnected society the world has ever seen. If everyone truly buys into the mind set that everyone who opposes the politically correct narrative running rampant in the mainstream media is evil then it discourages a true dialogue. If you reduce someone who disagrees with you to a fascist, or an otherwise horrible person then you don't have to actually consider to what they're saying. In fact, you're not only justified in ignoring and bringing harm to them, it's what you should do. If you come across Hitler, then doing anything less than killing him is a horrid act. One of the biggest topics which is harmed by this line of thinking is Gender Equality. It seems like the "correct" thing to say nowadays is that men are women and women are men. There's no inherent differences between us, and everything which separates the two genders is a social construct instituted by the malicious white man, and as such should be eradicated at all costs.

      This is simply absurd. More so than these elephan-duck-tooth things? I think so. To claim that there is no biological difference between a man and a woman aside from differing genitalia and organ systems is not only a dogmatic claim to make, it's idiotic. Males and females have very distinctively different strengths and weaknesses, both physically and mentally. The most laughable thing I constantly hear is that the only reason that women are physically weaker than men is that they're not encouraged to be active and push their bodies as much as males are, and that if they were raised the same way then there would be no difference. To anyone who makes such claims... my only question is what world do you live in? Because it's obviously not reality. That's actually the least concerning thing to me though, because it's obviously something most reasonable individuals won't take seriously.

      What actually strikes me as the most harmful mindset to have is that we are psychologically the same, because this is something widely accepted. To think that women have the same desires and aspirations as men, and the only reason that they don't achieve the same things the other gender does is due to mass discrimination is ridiculous. This is where arguments like the Gender Wage Gap fall apart. Females don't have the same priorities as males, and they're not going to aggressively chase the same goals that men do, because they shouldn't. We evolved to have different roles in society. Before civilization women were the care givers for a reason, they're better at it. A man can't raise a well adjusted human being on his own as well as a women can, period. That's because our ancient male ancestors job was to hunt, gather, and provide. While the females tended to the next generation and ensured the survival of our species. That's why women are more nurturing by nature, and men are much more prone to violence.

      If men and women are exactly the same, then why are the vast majority of serial killers men? Why are mass murderers almost exclusively male. Why do women look for power, confidence, and social status in a man, while men look mainly at physical features and complimentary personalities? In modern society we're equals in the eyes of the law, and for the most part parents now give boys and girls equal opportunities and try to treat them no differently from one another. Yet, there's still a distinctive difference in the way that a father will see his son, and how he will see his daughter. There is an inherent bias which we will never overcome, no matter how much society wants to. Because we're different. It honestly baffles me that everyone is so afraid to admit this, and that a large amount of people would read this and call me a sick sexist. Men have cultural advantages that women don't, it's true, but it's not only us. For every advantage that men have, women have one as well.

      Take this girl for example. Her name is "Lena the Plug" and she's a social media star. She makes very good money by flaunting her body online. She can post provocative images on twitter and instagram, as well as short 10 second clips of herself masturbating on snapchat and live a lavish lifestyle. Seriously, she's rich just for being attractive. Can a man do this? HELL no. The vast majority of women are not going to pay for a private snapchat to watch a random guy jerk off on camera. You know why? Because they care about much more than just physical attractiveness. Women often need a rapport with a person to be seriously attracted to them. A hint of their personality which alludes to confidence, power, and their place on the dominance hierarchy is a big factor in what attracts a female's attention. While a guy can look at this girl and instantly be extremely attracted to her, enough to throw absurd amounts of money her way for a glimpse into her private life, women have much more complex desires. That's because men are extremely visual creatures, which is my main problem with this "free the nipple" movement.

      The basis of the "Free the Nipple" movement is that men and women both have a pectoral region, along with an areola and nipple. Yet men can generally walk around in public shirtless with no issue, while if women do it it's considered public indecency/nudity. Supporters of this movement claim that women don't ask for the sexualization of their breasts, so it shouldn't hold any weight right? Give me a fucking break. There's a very big difference in the way that a man views a women's boobs versus how a women views a mans pecs. As I said, we're visual creatures. A man looks at a very large percentage of breasts and gets real hot and bothered. That's because a women's breasts are designed to be a distinctively feminine feature, which we're hardwired to be attracted to. On top of that, it signifies that the woman is ready to breed and nurture their offspring. Because newsflash, we evolved for our entire existence to revolve around the continuation of our genes. When a woman looks at a man's pectoral region sure, if it's nice and muscular/toned then there will be a level of attraction there, but it doesn't come close to the way that a man will look at that region on a woman. This really isn't that hard of a concept to grasp. When I one day have children, if I have a young son I do not want to have him out in public ogling at bare breasts before he's sexually mature, and if you think there's not an issue with that then you're living in fantasy land.

      So sorry, I click baited you with the title, because I absolutely believe in equal opportunity and gender equality, I just think that instead of ignoring and fighting the nuances/differences between men and women we should embrace them. Because we both have unique features and quirks which separate us from the opposite gender. For the same reason that I don't personally believe that unwilling women should be drafted to the front lines in World War 3. I don't think it's right that unions discriminate against qualified men in order to make an effort to hire more women "just because," And I don't think that a women should be allowed to walk around in public with no shirt on. Just like I'm against a man hitting a women, I'm against the need for there to be a "strong female lead" in every movie just  because Hollywood feels that they need to have one. If that's truly a directors vision then by all means make a great story, but to insert one in just for the sake of "diversity" is obviously disingenuous and damaging to the next generation, but that's an entirely different rant. Just as I believe that there's absolutely nothing wrong with a female being the president, she shouldn't run her entire campaign on the basis that she's a women. See where I'm going with this. We're completely different entities, and it's time to stop denying that so we can all play to our individual strengths. Because there's a lot of things that men simply do better than women. Just as there's a lot of things that women do better than men. If you don't like that, then too bad, it's just the reality of things. Life is far too short to waste time squabbling over an emotional reaction to factual information.

I would love to have a civil intelligent discussion with anyone who happens to read this that has a different viewpoint than me, but anyone who ignores everything I said in the beginning of this post and resorts to labeling me as a "sexist" a "pig" as "misogynist" or "evil" will be ignored, because if you actually read what I said then it's obvious that's not true. And to save anyone who may inquire time. No, I did not vote for Donald Trump, and having these viewpoints doesn't shoe horn me into that.
