I consider myself a feminist. If a woman doesn’t believe in equal rights for males and females, she is stupid. However, when I express my dislike for women in general, I am called “anti-feminism”. I am not anti-feminism. I simply have a dislike for women and the way they are defended so.

Here’s an example. If the title of this post were to be “Men Need To Be Quiet”, I would have a bunch of women commenting on it saying, “You go girl! Men are assholes!”. But with the title remaining as it is, I will likely get both women and men telling me that I am a pathetic excuse for a female.

Guess what? I can want equal rights for women while still having a dislike for women in general. Many (most, even) women are superficial, whiny, and overemotional. And don’t you go whining to me about me enforcing such a stereotype, because every female possesses stereotypical female qualities, whether it be an obsession with appearance or an inability to keep quiet. Same with men. How’s that for feminism? Men and women are equal in that every member of either sex possesses some stereotypical qualities.

I would rather spend time with a man than a woman. More often than not, a female will be unable to shut her trap and will be far too emotional. A man will often be rude, but I’d rather put up with fart jokes than whining about breakups and wardrobe malfunctions.

Even I have stereotypical female qualities. I am long-winded, I dwell too much on emotional haps, and I talk more often than I should. I’m not above all other women, but I try not to be intolerant of others’ opinions regarding gender.

So women, before you go bashing me for putting down the female gender, think about this. Women say things like “Men are the scum of the earth” all the time, and it’s fine. But if a male says “Women are the scum of the earth”, he’s in trouble. Women, why the sexism? All you feminists out there, if you’re pushing for equal rights for men and women, you can’t freak out about men voicing their opinions about women when you say the exact same things about them. That’s what equality is about.

Women are not above men. Nor are men above women. That’s what feminism is about. Should I dislike other women, I should not be put down for it. I’m not saying “Women are stupid, evil beings who should have no rights”. I’m saying “Women often have qualities I don’t like, and that’s why I don’t like hanging out with them”. It’s not anti-feminism or even anti-women. It’s personal preference.
