Female oppression all around us

Rebecca Hagelin rightly points out that the source of female oppression today is … feminism.

Moral equivalence

moral-equivalence

Spurred on by a conversation I had the day before, I was thinking yesterday about artificial insemination. Now, I’ve heard moral teaching about why the procdedure is immoral using dry, philosophical language. But yesterday, I looked at the procedure, and came to a realization that startled me.

Artificial insemination is morally equivalent* to prostitution.

If I lived in Nevada (outside of Las Vegas), it would be legal for me, in order to satisfy certain selfish desires, to do the following:

  • visit an establishment that brokers sexual services (a brothel)
  • choose an anonymous woman without forming a relationship with her
  • purchase that woman’s sexual services through the agency of the establishment
  • use those sexual services to satisfy my desire

Throughout the U.S., it is legal for a woman, in order to satisfy her selfish desire to have a child outside of wedlock to do the following:

Artificial insemination and prostitution are moral equivalents. So why, in this hypocritical American society, is one accepted and one scorned? Is it simply because one is new and the other age-old? Or is because men’s sexuality is icky, while a woman’s is always pure and uncorrupted? Either accept prostitution, and legalize it throughout the nation, or ban artificial insemination in the same states prostitution is banned. They should be treated the same, from a moral standpoint.

*Aside from morality, there are, of course, certain legal differences. One such is in the area of privacy. A prostitute’s privacy is protected. She has legal protections against her client if she did not want him contacting her. On the other hand, in Florida, a sperm-donor’s right to privacy has been deemed by the courts as being trumped by the right of the mother to receive child support for her offspring.

Can’t rant

cant-rant

You know, I’d like to post a rant right now, but my level of irritation is just at that level where, when I try to think about it, I’m reduced to near incoherence. I’m not in a good mood right now. I’m just feeling a smidgen edfairked.

I am a great guy. I’ve got my act together. I’m easy to get along with, got a good sense of humor. I’ve got a job, I’m good with kids, I’m smart, I’m educated, I’m a hard worker, I’ve got a nice home, I’ve got a nice car, I’ve got a whole lot of interests, I’m relatively good-looking. So why am I still single? After careful consideration, I’ve come to the conclusion, that it’s not me! It boils down to just this: WOMEN ARE STUPID. They don’t know what they want, wouldn’t recognize what’s good for them if it came up and bit them, and couldn’t go after something good in order to save their lives.

Put simply, women aren’t worth my while. They’re beneath me, and they don’t f*cking deserve someone as great as I am.

Mild misandry indoctrination

mild-misandry-indoctrination

I went to my little nephew’s Christmas program at his school yesterday evening. It was a nice, cute little affair. But the kids sang one song that saddened me as much as if they had been forced to act in an Everyone Loves Raymond episode.

It was a song about Dad putting up lights on the rooftop. And the kids were expressing concern – hoping that he wouldn’t fall off and get hurt. Of course to set up those sentimental thoughts, the song had to portray dad as an imbecilic Homer Simpson-type who would decide not to take any safety precautions, and would choose to decorate on the day where the rooftops were covered in ice.

My brother and I both noticed this.

Yes, I know there are bigger injustices to fight about, but it bothered me that the school’s music teacher saw fit to teach this song, with it’s male-desparaging attitudes to young children in kindergarten and primary grades. This indoctrination simply reinforces attitudes that lead to those larger injustices.
