I'm Too Moderate And Chill?

While at work I was browsing through some blogs, and in particular I Blame The Patriarchy. There was one comment there that really stuck out to me.

In order to feel feminized and human one would have to acknowledge women as humans, an utterly insurmountable roadblock.

The thing that stops me every time about that is that how the hell can they [men] believe so strongly that women are worthless nothings and then mouth nonsense about “when a man loves a woman” and all that love-song rot? I’m sorry — what the fuck does “love” even mean when it comes out of their mouths? I don’t think they’re capable of it, really. At least, not toward us. Love means respect, the desire to emulate, admiration, the desire to see someone succeed, the desire to support them because their goals are valued... none of which has to do with what they feel for us, all of which are feelings they reserve for other men. What the hell does “I love you” even mean when one of them says it to a woman? “Wash my socks?” “Gimme your pussy?” “I feel abandoned by my mommy?” What?

If they are so fucking disgusted by us, what the hell is up with them wanting us around all the damned time? Why do they even HAVE rejection fears? Why do they go postal when they get divorced and start shooting up the local McDonalds? If we’re so hideous and revolting that merely being compared to one of us is enough to send them around the bend, then why do they even bother pretending to “love” us?

I really don’t think they’re capable of it. I don’t think they know what the word means. And don’t go all not-my-Nigel on me either, okay? Let’s face it, if a man is even vaguely capable of “loving” anything without a penis beyond wanting to screw it, it’s going to be after a shitload of introspection and truthful self-examination that um NONE of them have ever done, sorry.

Seriously... wut? I consider myself a feminist but even this is a little too much for me. I confess that in my youth I was honestly curious if men could feel love the same way women do, but I recognize the fact that men are not evil, heartless creatures ferchristsake. The longer we keep up this "us versus them" mentality, the longer problems will exist. Gender equality means exactly that: equality.
