The majority of self-professed feminists I've encountered in my life seem to believe that equality of the sexes means unisex. Well, sisters (and the rather wimpish brothers who tag along) I regret to tell you that biologically there is no such thing as unisex. Men and women are NOT the same. We are adapted for different roles, and no amount of legislation will ever be able to overcome this. Women are designed for bearing children, men are not. And our biology has an effect on the way we think too. Our brains are just wired differently.
This is not to say that one sex is better than another, it just means that each sex is better at some things than the other.
And yes, I know there are exceptions.
So, here is my contribution:
How many feminists does it take to change a lightbulb?
ONE ! And it ISN'T funny...!
Really, you actually know a feminist who can change a light bulb!
ReplyDeleteI bet you don't know one who knows how to boil an egg.
I gather that if introduced to a feminist one should make some conciliatory observation such as "Oh! You're a feminist: how sweet!"
ReplyDeleteWhoa, there! What you are actually talking about are anti-feminists.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was three: one to change the lightbulb and two to be supportive.
ReplyDeleteROTFL P&P.
ReplyDeleteWith some things it's a question of nature/nurture. But what I find fascinating are the items which are most definitely hard-wiring. For instance, as a group men are better at imagining an item, then rotating it in space. And men are more inclined to be vector oriented in directions.
ReplyDeleteFeminists are always whining about the inability to be priests. Why is it we never hear of men wanting to be nuns? Ha!
ReplyDeleteCassie, because nuns have to go out in pairs and that is boring.
ReplyDeletethe lightbulb doesn't need changing thank-you very much. It's perfectly happy as it is.
