Are women now the sexists?

[buddyxlee]

I read an interesting blog that brought something to my attention that I never really realized until I read it.

My wife even to a point does some of the things mentioned.

So a simple question to the duelz.com public:

Has the sexist pendulum flown the full 180 and now women are actually sexists?

Read the blog post then debate it up..... I'm sittin' this one out. I think I have some things to think about.

Hey Mike,

Explain your position will you? Because I am having a hard time understanding where you are coming from.

I know many women who fit this category. I have a sister that is sexist and make's no bones about it.

Now I don't know that it has made 180 degree turn from the men to women, but I do know there are a lot of women out there that do.

It's like battered women, Ithere are a lot of men that get battered from women, but you mainly only hear about how women are brutally treated.

I think society in the US does allow sexiism against men. The blogger's point was brought up by Bill Mahr years ago. Bascially, every sitcom has an idiot father who's "lucky" to have the wife he does.

It's a form of male-bashing...Another form has made Oprah a billionaire.

Just about every standup comedian has jokes about how men are stupid and women are brilliant.

But what bothers me the most is it seems many young women today try to be more "macho" than they guys. In all of these reality shows, I see the young women cussing and threatening to fight. What's wrong with being feminine? Why do girls have to be "tough guys"? Why can't we be equal but different?

I doubt it will change, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

This phenomenon has been ongoing since television's inception. All tee vee sitcoms have an idiot dad who'd be completely lost without the genius little woman he was at least smart enough to take as his bride and mother of his children.

All this other female posturing stuff-cussin', swearin', fightin', bein' a street tough, is just a sign of insecurity.

It's also indicative of the fact little girls, just as little boys, need to have both a mother (figure) and a father (figure) in the home to teach them how to behave. Little females need to know how to conduct themselves around males, just as young males need to know how to treat females, while children of both genders learn to bond/relate to adults of their same sex in a healthy way.

Yes we are different, males and females; as the French say, "Vive la difference!"


The writer of the blog is correct. Idiocy is, indeed, gender neutral.

Women are sexist if they can't cook or clean.
