This
week marks the 90th anniversary of women’s suffrage in America.
Seems like a logical time to pat ourselves on the back for gracing
the world with our presence and to ponder how far we’ve come as a
gender. |
|
But since the feminism industry does
that for us every day, I figured it would be more constructive to
analyze how much further we have to go. So I hereby present—with
full chromosomal immunity—a rundown of things women have being doing
to totally screw themselves since winning the right to vote. |

FEMINISM:
We got the right to vote, and fought
hard for it. But instead of forging ahead in life and proving
through action and accomplishment that it was well-earned, some
women realized how they could make a full-time business over simply
being a “fightin’ wommyn.” It wouldn’t exactly be a productive
industry, but The Man could foot the bill. |
|
Ever since, their motto has more or
less been, “I’m a fightin’ wommyn and where’s The Man with the
checkbook to pay me for telling him off?” You know who’s a better
feminist than you? Marie Curie. She won two Nobel Prizes for
science—all without the help of feminism because it hadn’t even been
invented yet. You have spent your entire life dedicated to figuring
out how to parlay a hormonal discrepancy into a career on someone
else’s dime. |

DAYCARE
Look at us women, we can do it all.
Except, apparently, raise our own kids. Instead they end up getting
pawned off on babysitters and foreign nannies, and it only becomes a
problem when we note that their Spanish language skills far outdo
their English. Just because you have a biological capability, it
doesn’t mean you need to use it. And if you do indeed choose to,
then take responsibility for raising decent human beings. Their
future dating pool will thank you for it. |

BABY VOICES
What’s the deal with women in their
30s and older speaking in childlike voices like their breasticles
have yet to drop? Listen to any one of Dr. Laura’s radio shows for a
taste of this epidemic. Joan of Arc and Elizabeth I didn’t talk like
babies. I wasn’t personally around during their era, but I can’t
imagine Joan of Arc having said, “Tomorrow blood will leave my body
above the breast,” as though she was Paris Hilton twisting her hair
around her fingers while doing an interview with David Letterman.
Society in general has become feminized since women won the right to
vote: A surfeit of sensitive, effete men. Childlike women. And
children whose maturity is stunted well into adulthood. |

WOMEN WHO WANT TO BE MEN
The left has the feminists, while the
right has far too many women who pretend to be overly interested in
everything from fly fishing to NASCAR to hunting. Look, why don’t
you laddies (intentional typo) just get a sex change already? I’m
guessing some among us do this to seem more like one of the boys and
to put men at ease. But frankly, I don’t think anyone is at ease
with that. It’s creepy. If feminists were rewired as
right-wingers—to enjoy cliched right-wing activities—they’d be you. |

MOMMY BLOGGERS
Being a woman with the ability to
reproduce isn’t just a fact of life and incidental biological
function, it’s these women’s entire life. All day, every day, “mommy
bloggers” foist upon the world their trials and tribulations related
to producing and raising offspring, as though it’s something so
spectacular and such a unique experience that it must be shared with
the world. Guess what? I went to the zoo recently and saw several
pairs of animals—from ducks and geese to sea otters—who had more of
a life than you ladies while still managing to raise a family. The
argument to recognize women as productive members of society
cannonballs right into the sewer when women opt to spend their day
gazing at their navel and those of their children, and then
broadcast the blow-by-blow on Twitter, FaceBook, or a blog as their
only remotely productive daily activity. |

THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF _______
Susan B. Anthony
is looking down and giving these gals the big thumbs up. Oh, for
SURE! If there was any legitimate reason to fight for the right of
women to be recognized as free-thinking, independent human beings,
it was so they would then be free to seek out the most prominent and
available male member of the Lucky Sperm Club. Then to suck him dry
of one or more generations of treasure under the watchful eye of the
nation via TV. |

PLASTIC SURGERY
Ladies, is your love life better now
that your breasts are bigger and faker? Did the fact that you’ve
Botoxed your forehead into paralysis land you a raise, or more
respect and admiration? Does Brigitte Bardot command any less
respect as an outspoken animal rights advocate because she clearly
has never been touched by a surgeon’s scalpel in a procedure that
makes women look like the felines for which she advocates? And do
you really think she’d garner any more respect if she did? So then
why is cosmetic surgery more rampant than ever? |
