Gender Inequality

Having studied a fuckload of feminist texts where GENDER GENDER GENDER AND FEMALE OPPRESSION have been the dominant themes, I must admit that I'm sick of hearing the term "gender inequality". People treat gender inequality as if it were a plague, something to be fixed, amended. So I sit back and wonder, "is gender equality REALLY what these people want?"

Now I'm heavily biased, because as I've mentioned, I'm sick of feminist arguments and feminism. Sick of hearing that women are just as good as men in every aspect, and they should be treated in this way and that way and BLAH BLAH BLAH. Oh lord. I must confess though, that I hardly know anything about gender oppression. I've only ever read about it--- and I agree, females have it pretty bad. A fundamental level of respect should exist for all human beings, regardless of gender, race, religion etc. When I say that though, I mean you have a basic level of respect for their person, not their traits. Nobody expects you to respect Christianity if your faith lies with sacred purple flying monkeys. It seems,  however, that people confuse a person with the labels they carry, and tend to forget the obvious biological label of the the fact that PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE. It sounds so retarded when I say it. "People are people? ORLY NOW?" 

Which brings us back to the point about gender. Why do we give a fuck about gender? "Men are primitive monkeys who think with their penises", "women are PMS-ing bitches who never shut up and never mean what they say". Neither sound very appealing to me. Maybe I should find a sexless entity to marry instead.

So in my opini-onion (that should be a word), people should stfu about this gender thing and get over it. Really. Get over the "males are better than females" complex. Discrimination is inefficient. Get over the "I WANT THE SAME TREATMENT" thing. It's so stupid. It's like saying you want vitamin C tablets to treat your testicular cancer, BECAUSE YOU DESERVE THE SAME TREATMENT AS THE GUY WITH SCURVY, GOD-FUCKING-DAMMIT.

Think about it for a second, will you? If we had absolute gender equality. In a fight, let's bash up women as well as men- because hell, they're equal. Work requiring heavy-lifting and physical exertion? Let's put equal amounts of men and women on the team. How about we mix women and men events in the Olympics as well? There's a much-needed reform. They're just being outright sexist, I reckon, having separate categories based on gender.

What's that, they're NOT being sexist? It's because women are disadvantaged? BUT I THOUGHT BOTH GENDERS WERE EQUAL. Sheesh. Perhaps the point to make clear about all this is that... it's not about one being better than the other... it's about being different. And God knows we've never coped well with different things. "You're different? Ewww cooties."

When people start to acknowledge that every human, despite their differences, is still in fact, human--- and therefore should be treated as a human, then the world will be a better place.

...Never mind the fact that some humans are far more stupid than others.
