Masculinist

I completely agree that men should treat women the utmost respect. I agree 100% that women and men should be equal. But what really irks me, is women who call themselves “feminist,” but don’t follow the principals of the strong word. The definition of feminism is: The advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men. I agree, women and men, should be equal. I believe the only legal ways men and women aren’t equal, is in the Armed Forces, and in restrooms.

The American Military, in its codes, state that women can serve very close to the front lines, but not on the actual front. Personally I believe that women should be fighting side by side with men, and be drafted at 18 just like every man would if we had a draft in place right now. Oh and I’m sure all the 16 year old feminists would agree. I just want to quickly brush on the topic of men and women’s emotional rights, because you can read all about it above in Stephen Mariani’s Op-Ed. Now men are almost required to show no emotion. It’s just how society works. Men can’t show emotion or shed a tear in public, are just supposed to blow things off. As every romantic comedy or movies that start with love and star Channing Tatum have taught us, is that men don’t care about relationships. Women are the ones who put their heart and soul into love, and it’s broken by the man who doesn’t care about his soul mate. Men don’t understand. But as I have seen very recently, a man can have his heart broken. A man can feel real pain when his heart is broken in a relationship. A man isn’t always at fault for ruining a relationship, it’s equal playing field out there. A man can have feelings. As I’m sure all the 16 year old feminist would agree.

Furthermore, I hate when people say a man can never hit a women. DISCLAIMER! I would never hit a woman, nor would I ever believe it is okay to. That being said, I believe people shouldn’t hit people. A women can't hit a man, just as much as a man can't hit a woman. A woman should NOT be able to insult a man, just as a man should not insult a woman. On a quite popular Bravo TV show today, I watched as one lady said to another lady, “Women’s looks are off limits.” Referring to insults of course. I totally agree. People should not make fun of other peoples looks. Women should not make fun of men’s looks, just as men should not make fun of women’s. As I’m sure all the 16 year old feminist would agree.

A while back Tiger Woods started this men’s golf league. Just for guys to get together and golf on Sunday mornings. After a while a female golfer threatened to sue because women were not allowed in the league. I agree, a woman should be allowed in this club. What I don’t agree with is places such as Curves, Mavericks Women’s Preferred, and the Young Feminist Leadership Conference; were men are not allowed to attend. If there was a men’s only gym, all hell would break loose, but Curves, a women’s only gym is completely okay? This is just, as I’m sure all the 16 year old feminist would agree. I am a m asculinist. I believe men should be treated equal to women, which currently men are not. Masculinist isn't even a word today.

As I’m sure all the 16 year old feminists would agree, men and women are equal in every way. Start showing it.

The sixteen year old feminist would completely agree! Thank you, Jackson. -Molly I just cleaned up a little of the grammar. You can thank me later. -Mr. Banana
