BIG MAN: A Wake-Up Call for Women

Chapter 11 - Mother Superior

In this chapter I'd like to raise an area of concern that has bothered me for some time. I am not a hard core feminist simply because I've never felt comfortable with labels or belonging to groups. I've flown solo through most of my life with the aim of maintaining my individuality and presence of mind. I fully support feminism and the efforts made to ensure equality of the sexes but more than that I hold to a slightly different view. In many ways I think women are actually superior to men, and while this may seem a grand statement to make (God forbid), I'd like to make it clear that my belief is based on a higher ethic and natural theme than the socio-political commentary to which we are subjected by a mundane modern patriarchal mindset. I can hear the men among you already thinking this is a discriminatory belief of itself, but let's have a look at what discrimination really means:

To discriminate is to 'make an unjust or prejudicial distinction in the treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, sex, or age.' - Oxford Dictionary. It is the manner is which a person is treated, based on, in the context of this book, their gender. It is no secret that women have been oppressed and discriminated against in countless ways throughout the course of history. We may not be a numerical minority but we have been relegated to the position of a minority in vast numbers of areas of public vocation. I won't bore you with the history of the struggle of women, nor the liberation of women, nor how we had to fight to earn the right to vote, nor even be considered as something more than a breeding machine hopefully popping out boys for kings to feel proud of. I especially won't bore you with the reminder that women are still paid less than men for doing exactly the same job, in 2015. This last point is probably the most boring point of all due to the boorish nature of the men who support it and refuse to correct it. I don't feel they deserve any more attention than this brief mention, but I would like to state the obvious for the sake of bringing it right to the surface, hopefully in such a way that it cannot be swept under the rug as just another feminist rant: I find it incredibly ironic that if a woman excels in a particular area, and this area is male-dominated, she is subjected to what can only be described as blatant sexism and discrimination. In my simple mind, this is abusive, and a breach of human rights.

Sexism in the music industry for example is as foul-smelling now, as it ever has been. You might think this is not the case. The industry is inundated with talented female artists, many of them exceedingly successful. My question is, to what preconceived mould were they required to adjust, to reach these levels of success? Was this mould not prescribed by men according to what they want from women? Sex. This is most obvious in the commercial industry, just as obvious, in fact, as it is in most other commercial industries. Youth. Are we not put out to pasture like used cows once we reach a certain age? Is it not suggested to us to perhaps try something a little more 'appropriate' than vying for the same position as the young hot girl? Her talents are nowhere near as refined, precisely due to her youth, but she fits the bill for commercial sale more readily than any woman over the age of 25, for example. This is also true in the modelling industry, and this backward mindset worms its way through even the most obscure of scenarios in the lives of women all over the world. The acting industry can attest to this also. Where the male actor gets 'sexier' with age, the female actor requires a face-lift.

We have had an overall stereotype neatly assigned to us, an ideal to which we are expected to conform. This stereotype was prescribed by men, and is sadly supported by a lot of women who give their consent. Not only this, they maximise their potential in these areas to work it in their favour. These women are called 'smart business women' yet I struggle to understand how there is anything even remotely intelligent about being proud of, and good at, blatant prostitution. Is this not what it is really is? When he shows an interest in you for the way you look because your appearance is more aligned with whatever pornographic imagery turns him on, but he fails to show the same interest if you have not conformed to the transparent game play of the world's oldest profession? Supply and demand seems to be the name of the game here. Social media is saturated with 15 year old girls posing like porn stars for likes, and this is regarded as completely normal. They have been taught this by men, encouraged by boys, and given every example by women, and no I am not suggesting by any means that a woman cannot present herself however she pleases, my focus here is on how this particular bias came to be.

Is it not discriminatory when a woman surprises a group of men with her abilities, only to be met with looks of disbelief, purely because she is female? Purely, and only because, she is female. Well excuse us. Sexism doesn't exist in 2015? Think again. Is it not abusive to be insulted with this expression of surprise? or do we need to be yelled at to call it abuse? When I don't get the job because I am in my forties, but the younger girl or guy of the same age is hired despite them having nowhere near the same level of experience, is this not abusive? What we are really being told here, is that unless we are prepared to subscribe to Lucifer's regime of dumb fresh meat and glitter, or become like men, there is either no place for us, or we have to fight to create that place. Do you not find this particularly absurd? Unless we bow down and worship the whoredom of the ages, we can neither be respected nor approved. When some guy is at the helm with tender chicken by his side, we are abused into compliance. This abuse comes in the form of discrimination. It is a violent act.

This is not a lengthy chapter because I do not want to bang on about the complexities of sexism and all its various manifestations, but apart from sexism in commercial industry, the science lab, and the recording studio, it exists right within the home for those with the eyes to see it. You know damn well there are certain things expected of you purely because you are female. There are also many things not expected of you, again, because of your gender. When he takes that dominant position, that's not the strength of male warmth backed by thousands of years of immaculate male behaviour he's exhibiting. It is the male posturing of his ancestor the ape that he is mimicking. This is not refined male behaviour nor is it anything any woman should accommodate. When he grabs his club and beats you over the head with it, verbally or otherwise, it becomes painfully obvious just how little he has evolved from his predecessor; the cave man. You're a woman what would you know. Unless you are prepared to act like a man, what could you possibly know about anything at all?

"We love her because she's one of the guys." And there it is. Acceptance in any facet of society is based purely on how well women conform to the expectations of patriarchal men, and if he expects you to be stupid, he will discriminate against you if you're not. How dare you threaten the 'natural' order. For as long as there is an issue that men feel the need to express at women purely due to his inability to practice actual equality, we are pressed to either struggle, comply, retreat, or take this whole thing to a more factual level:

Woman is superior to man. Rather than tell you why this is so, I would urge you to find the answers for your self. Once you have found them, embrace them. We are not seeking equality. We are reclaiming our rightful position in the true natural order of universal providence. Men dominate because they are jealous. They know the truth of my statement here. Your abuser hopes you never discover this. The only manner in which he can truly dominate you relies solely on his lowest tactic; the exertion of his course physical form.

What else could possibly spur millenia of male jealousy except for a justified inferiority complex in the presence of that which is clearly superior? What else could prove this more, than the assertion that women are the weaker sex, by men who resorted to this irrelevant and most base of attributes that depends not on intellectual, nor spiritual accuracy, but has attempted to con us for thousands of years into accepting its ridiculous validity?

There is not one aspect in which a man is superior to a woman other than his physical form, and if the laws of physics are correct, the softest thing in the universe overcomes the hardest.
