And I've been quite outspoken about my Feminist opinions, not because I'm the stereotypical butch, constantly angry feminist who never shaves because it's giving into men or whatever, because I'm not. And it's fine if you are BUT in this particular case I'm not.
Instead I am one of many children raised by a sole parent, a strong mother in fact. And although I suppose the world of feminism I'm probably never crossed her mind, but whether she knows it or not her ideals are very feminist, especially when she decided no I will not get married just because I love in ireland and I got in trouble (that obv didn't go down well) no I will not continue an unhappy marriage just because everyone else is, and no my daughters are no different from my sons.
Does that mean I am as strong as my brothers ? No, because I am female.
Am I as smart ? Maybe (depends which brothers I guess )
Do I deserve the same opportunities ? Of course. Why wouldn't i?
Do I deserve more or less than my brothers? Absolutely not! It's called equality for a reason.
If I want to play a sport, I'll play a sport, if my brothers need to cry, they need to cry. If someone hit me? Not good! If someone hit my brothers ? Also not good!
No difference, because we are all human, regardless of gender, colour or sexual preference.
When people hear the word feminist they all assume the openly mocked stereotype, and that needs to stop. However this isn't a feminist post, to be honest this is the views on equality from me in my generation, in comparison to say the 80's views.... Very vriefly hopefully because it's 3am and I can't sleep.
So I'm currently watching late night tv, meaning I'm watch big complete garbage, the best I could find to waste my temporary insomnia is the classic (which I've never seen) Saturday night fever.
This movie ! Oh my god, I'm sitting here alone on the sofa hoping to be lulled off to sleep by john travolta dancing his little heart out ago the best of the disco loving 80s .... Instead I'm kept even more awake by the little yet so obviously wrong stereotypes ! Or snide comments from the clearly ignorant.
Put it like this, if Saturday night fever was released now it would be a gritty low budget movie with cheap male cliches poking fun of every female in the movie.
I'm only 35 minutes in so maybe this is very pre mediated but seriously? How did the fathers of this generation turn out half normal if they were watching garbage like this as gospel on how to treat women?I'm the girl who refuses to let any man or women pay my half of the bill but c'mon when it's thier treat I gush like school girl. I usually hold the door open but if a guy holds a door open for me, the butterfly's are in motion, so no I'm not overly man hating nor do I think the sun shines out of their arses, why? Because I am an intelligent woman of my generation. The smallest minority of us (who I don't think I've met) believe men bring home all the bacon and the women cooks and cleans 24/7, granted i have certainly met the polar opposites that have decided no men outside the bedroom and no children, ever, period.
Either way, in the last 35 minutes I have witnessed, the 80s
So far john travolta has treated a clingy girl like sort, no I don't mean he refused to go in a second date with her, I mean he left her on the dance floor, made a fuss of dancing with her, and openly mocked her infront if the lads (his mates)
He then did the same with another girl after she fawned over him, him and his friends openly said it was charity, and then again he just abandoned her on the dance floor.
He stared after every piece of ass (that's a guy thing tho)
He and his father had a massive argument how it was 'a woman's job' to clear the table. I'm sorry did you cook the food? Will you be cleaning those dishes? By the sounds of it he didn't even pay for it, but yes, don't clear the plate you ate off.
John travolta and his friends say outside the car and watched a friend ride a girl, no shame about it, in fact they said hurry up and who cares if she cums. Fine but then the friend riding the girl said 'what's your name again' you lads stay classy.
So to sum it up (cos it's reeeeeeally late and I'm starting to get tired) women are there for you n your friends personal amusement, they clearly always want to open their legs and get married to you cos you're a god apparently (when you lol like Chris. Hemsworth the god of thunder, we'll talk lol) your mother deserves no appreciation and your unemployed father knows everything, especially how his wife SHOULDNT work, Mmmhmmm.
I know this wasn't meant to be a sexist movie, and I'm sure in the 80s it was the norm and he was a massive catch. But in this day n age, with my generation, acting like an asshole like that past the age of 17 doesn't cut it boys.
Women will certainly not fawn over you with that attitude and they will definitely tell you where to go if you start mocking her in front of her friends, as far as I know that's unacceptable for any gender.
Assholes aren't attractive after your teens, so just cos that worked back at the old youth disco and apparently on Saturday night fever, i can guarantee it won't work now.
So a brief summery, don't be an asshole, it's jot longer attractive and men should be allowed the same rights as women and visa versa.
I wouldn't want my brothers to be told they can't do something because it's not the manly thing, as much as I wouldn't want my sisters to ever be told they can't do something simply because it's not feminine .
**we just hit 65 minutes and he decided she was on nothing so she should just give him a blow job, what the actual fuck ??? John travolta come on lad.
To those people who still apparently live in the 80s and believe women clear the dishes and should open their legs to every man that shows some interest, I have a very angry feminist three worded phrase for your lovely selves, go fuck yourself.
Soooo to everyone else that would like their sons to have the same rights as their daughters and visa versa, the heforshe campaign is for both genders. So let's have it!
And ps, just because a woman wants to be treated equal in the work place (ie no better or less than you because of her lack of male appendage) doesn't mean she won't want to be treated like a girl outside, so come on guys we aren't asking for chivalry here, just the odd door open now n then, simple as. And for all of you that haven't seen Saturday night fever, oh my god, go laugh at the crap we don't get away with now !!!!
