More Thoughts From My Empty Head
1. How much of this giant bag of M&Ms do I have to eat before I get sick?
2. I just read American Psycho. Yeah. Uh . . . yeah . . . I had to read the book because I can’t watch the movie—I don’t want to see Batman kill people—but . . . yeah. Sigh. Now I have things in my head that I’ll never be able to get rid of so . . . yeah.
3. How can I continue to destroy my Sims’ lives? No, this isn’t related to #2—I’ve always been a vengeful god to my Sims.
4. I have never had my hair done. No wait . . . I might have when I was in high school. I know I’ve never had my nails done. Hmm . . . yeah, I don’t care.
5. How many times can one person watch Gunsmoke and Bonanza? I don’t like Little Joe. I always get him mixed-up with that guy who played David Banner on the old Hulk TV show—I don’t know why because they look nothing alike. Maybe it’s that stupid Highway to Heaven show—both shows had them traveling around. Also, there seemed to be a large amount of flannel shirts involved in each show—yeah, that’s it. Flannel shirts.
Stupidity #5
Man, I wish I could stop but the stupid keeps coming!
What exactly is womens studies, and why is there no mens studies?
This again?! OK, fine. Here are some answers to the above question.
I don’t think men complain and talk about useless rhetoric as much as women. Everyone has something to complain about in life, but only certain people do. Life is full of inequalities.
Spoken like a true man, who probably never felt nervous while walking out to his car at night. Or better yet, he has never had to worry about being raped when he’s passed out drunk somewhere. Yeah, life is full of inequalities—intelligence is obviously where your inequality comes into play, buddy. <——-I mean that you’re stupid.
Womens study’s are a bunch of gal’s talking about how persecuted they’ve been since the dawn of time.There’s no men’s study’s because we have a history of making history. Hence, we pretty much know what’s what. No use in dwelling on it, it’s fish or cut bait, so we keep movin forward rather than looking back like we’re some kind of “victim”. Feminists just need something to try ot elevate their status as “equals”, hence, creating a “woman’s study’s”. They missed the fact that they are equal, but have differing roles than men. Neither one better than the other, just different.
I really like the use of quotes around the word “equals.” It really kind of sums up this knowledgeable essay on feminism.
The original argument was that men dominated history, therefore men’s studies constitutes what you’d learn in any history course. While that sort of argument is accepted in the orthodoxy of academia, most thinking people realize it is bunk and that women’s studies is just a politically correct kind of tribalism, with insiders, shameful outsiders, and leaders who declare what can and cannot be spoken. In other words, what is politically correct is in reality incorrect and unfairly biased. You’ll never hear a feminist suggesting to extend the standard that gave them power to other non-PC groups, for instance advocating for Atheist Studies. Nothing that might reduce the power of their tribe can be acceptable, and they only support their allies.
So now feminism is a tribe? And something about political correctness and reality. I think he threw something about bias in there. I don’t know—it all sounds like a guy who can’t quite understand that women are, you know, people.
Something To Keep Us Sane
Let’s look at something other than stupid comments, OK?
Trivia: I was watching some travel show on PBS—Rick Steves?—and he was explaining how much planning had to go into their shots when they filmed art like Michelangelo’s David. Apparently, American TV doesn’t like the male genitals—even in art.
Yeah, I rolled my eyes too.
