  • The feminist manifesto

    An excerpt from the "Manifesto of the Pan-Canadian young feminist gathering":




    We envision communities committed to:
    -> Eradicating all forms of violence – including sexual, institutional, emotional, economic, physical, cultural, racial, colonial, ageist and ableist


    Seriously, WTF? How can you eliminate "all forms of violence"?

    Would we still be human if violence didn't exist?

    And as Nietzsche would have it, isn't it violence on the basic functions of an organism to herd it in a perfectly aseptic community?

    I could be a feminist, if their program was something like "enslave males, make them suffer, and turn them into sexual slaves". At least these feminists would have guts and style.

      Don't be ridiculous. Women are too 'sensitive' to power inequality to do that, and they wouldn't be feminists, to boot.

            Bingo, my friend.

            If we aren't going to judge people based on their abilities, HOW THE HELL THEN are we supposed to judge them?

            Of course, it may simply mean that we shouldn't adhere to "essentialist" prejudices where a certain group is deemed intrinsically capable of something, but still. Let's abolish the prejudice that makes us think children don't judge for themselves! That women shouldn't be linebackers in the NFL!

              I understand the concept of the term "ableist" (though it is of course extremely silly...but what the **** is "ableist violence"?

                            They're certainly inferior at walking.

                              God, the thought of their shrivelled, useless legs makes me want to beat them with a crowbar.
