The Disgrace of Feminism in the Common Era

Have you ever wondered about the purpose of the female role in modern day life? The perceived nature and purpose of women and how it is believed they should be portrayed in the Common Era is an understanding that is confusing even today. In this century it is safe to say that women don’t want to be a part of modern society, but fight to be a part of it at the same time. Confused? You should be. It’s the age of feminism. A delusion to escape what no longer exists, but be used as an excuse to tackle the world of male dominance. A dominance that died out in the second half of the 20th century.

Is this a sexist statement? Well, yes it is and no it isn't. Why? Let me explain…

Feminism was the female stance to empower women all over the world. Its purpose wasn't merely as much to equalise their existence in the same effect as their male counterparts, but to prove that women were just as important. In this case it was a little of both.

Feminism could be considered a male undertaking or cause. Alas it is a man’s fault that feminism exists or is it? Since the dawn of the 20th century, socialism paved the way forward for democracies to conduct a sense of governance that empowered the people. With this ‘privilege’ it expanded into a ‘right’ and grew stronger throughout the developing 20th century of politics. It would be 100% blasphemous to state that women don’t have the right to vote or the right to express themselves in the same environment as men at current as was the norm over more than a century ago. The times have indeed changed for the greater good. Women now have the same rights as men regardless of what any feminist group can indicate. Falsified reports to minimise constitutional effect to empower male superiority is disorientating and is used daily by feminist groups all over the world. It can only be substantiated in an undemocratic society, but the loudest ones usually come from those where their democratically elected governments have allowed them to do so. 

Although their purpose to exist is no longer necessary, the right to exercise this right is enshrined though most constitutions in the democratic world and it is a relief that these rights exists as they should do.
With the change of time, we see a vast growing society of men and women unfamiliar with the sense of self empowerment or superiority. Women are qualified to serve the same positions as men.  This of course shows how woman’s rights have expanded and progressed since WWII.  It embarked on a journey where the point would stretch beyond the limit. From as early as the 90’s and 80’s the female purpose has made more than just the average mark on the world. It has seen women become empowered in greater circumstances than before.  Women were taking office and using their sense of victory to change the male view of dominance. From Prime Ministers to Presidents, Advocates and Judges, doctors and more, presence of women has not gone unnoticed and is appreciated as it should be respectfully.

Has feminism flowered into a thinking society or has it mocked itself in the general idea that there is a need for it when there isn't? Since the dawn of the 21st century, female dominance has overthrown a lot of male empowered industry as well as government. We see women taking decisive roles in government, law environments and industry and this is splendid to see. It shows how far society has expanded and how society has outgrown its former conservative self of servant and become self master.

Now that women have taken centre stage, has it changed the view of how women are perceived? Has it changed the need for feminism? When a man says no and a woman says yes, should it only be focused on what a woman wants? No, because this alone is how feminism uses the card of vulnerability to seek superiority. It is almost like a scheme where woman have flocked together into a secret society to find fault in all that men do. This is a sexist approach and a misrepresentation of what was once a respectable organisation.

In countries like South Africa, the political landscape shows that there is no gender discrimination by the representation of women in politics. The political system however is discriminatory towards women with a concern for life in South Africa. Most political parties in South Africa have respectable branches which serves a youth league and a woman’s league. The very audacity for their politics to insist that gender discrimination is a no-no in the new democratic South Africa, but insists on having an acclaimed woman’s league for whatever party you support shows that feminism is alive and well in their political environment. It also allows women to degrade themselves by the need to join a woman’s league as opposed to joining the main political party to get the benefit of the doubt. Is it wrong for women to join the main party and fight alongside the men that will keep them in the same place for the rest of their lives? Why not show them that in politics, your gender has an equal right as opposed to individual equality. The very fact that they have to report their concern to the head of the league tarnishes not only their integrity, but takes away their right to exercise their voice, no-one will hear their views except the league of women.

We have seen the development of how wrongful feminism is used by the fakes and phonies in the Common Era as much as how prisoners use religion to get parole; in most cases an overwhelming number of alleged loyal feminists are disobedient to the purpose and moral structure of their cause as well as in breech of their code of ethics.

From as simple as a man accidentally rubbing his shoulder against a woman’s shoulder in public and being accused of assault is the custom of the new age of feminism. This proclivity is the norm when it comes to feminism and it is a charge that is out of order in a modern society.  In other words feminism is an excuse used by alleged feminists who use the need to find fault at whatever cost to humiliate men when it isn’t necessary.

In my view, a woman who calls herself a feminist is a woman no more. This is a heavy sexist charge indeed, but it has a strong purpose. Should a woman join a group to feel empowered? Is this not an insult on a woman’s well-being that she needs to join a group to know where she stands in the world? I suppose that it is a fair point of feminism. That a woman should sell her soul to group of overly excited women to empower herself as well as the initial group to incite bigotry all over the world. It is sadly the case in modern day life. Sure it is shockingly sad to absorb what is a neutral perspective on feminism, but it is a true factor of how it misrepresents women and their purpose.

As a man, I feel no need to be superior, it never crossed my mind to be and it never will. I have always had the utmost respect for people of all backgrounds and this will remain the case until the day I die. However, I will not stand silent at the hands of feminism and allow a cult of bigots to dominate society on the grounds of what they feel suits fit. The need for feminism no longer exists in society because women needn't feel inferior to anyone. Nor should a woman feel the need to seek protection from the very people she opposes when it suits her. It is degrading to mankind.

A modern day woman with a head on her shoulders knows her own path in life. A modern day woman is a woman who sets goals for herself and achieves them without fail. A modern day woman is a woman who takes control at her own means and cost without the need to depend on a source that in the end will not support her.  A real woman doesn't need to be a feminist to know that she is a woman.

The Tales of Mzansi: Zuma's Tactics

Once upon a time in the African kingdom of Mzansi lived a notorious unruly sovereign named Jacob. The king and his Acclaimed Nkandla Court (ANC) took from the rich and ignored the poor. They beat up the defenders and hailed the traitors.

One day in December, King Jacob consulted his advisor Mac and his skivvy Gwede to discuss how the king would be able to double his public ratings socially. Mac implied that reverse psychology usually works, especially on the vulnerable. Jacob, believing that he was wise went to his magic mirror in the hopes that the mirror would sympathise and fall for the trick he exclaimed; Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the biggest twat of them all? The mirror jumped at the opportunity and said; Yoh, Wena! Where do I start? There’s Mthethwa and Gigaba, Angie and Sisulu, Neledi and Brown, all disappointments, but not worth a frown. I have to say King Jacob, the twat that I see. Yes it’s you that’s the biggest twat and that you’ll always be.

King Jacob was so upset; he called Madam Mbete, the speaker of the court to deal with the mirror. As she came in all guns blazing, she forced the mirror to withdraw. Unfortunately the mirror cannot lie. Full of anguish and frustration, she felt powerless so she telephoned the police…
Meanwhile, King Jacob called for a private gathering with his Acclaimed Nkandla Court to discuss the matter of unkind words. Together they ignored the truth and decided to cover it up.  So as a means to let off steam, they punished the tax paying subjects of Mzansi and plunged them into total darkness. They were dubbed ‘Sovereign Blackouts’. Together they decided to decrease the price of fuel, but made it unavailable for purchase. They stopped building houses for the poor to reserve bricks for the king’s palace. The king’s new treasurer brought double the amount of inflation than ever before. The price of food had soured and even the middle-class subjects began begging for mercy.

On that same day, a lady in blue who wasn’t of royalty, but of common soul and mind was making sure that her democratic court was looking after her subjects in what is known as the Working Cape. All the happy and free people made good use of the Working Cape. It was an opportunity to escape depression. It was also the only piece of land that the king couldn’t destroy.

Zille-rites are the norm as is known and nobody can defeat this woman of wonders. She brought the colours of the cape together and ensured her subjects that there will be bread and honey for everybody. Even the king’s subjects envied the Working Cape’s progress. They too wanted to enjoy the bread and honey but the cape told them to wait five years before they can get a taste. The King’s informants were pleased to see that people in this democratic kingdom have jobs. They were pleased that children could go to school, that people could live in dignity in the comfort of their own homes built of bricks. They were pleased that the poor were taken care of in a way unimagined.  The landscape of beautiful colours isn’t looking as bleak as the rest of Mzansi. Unfortunately for the king’s informants, such perfection gave them a constant headache.

As the police arrived at the scene of the chatty mirror, Madam Mbete stood impatiently in her midst for the police to dismiss the mirror in a ‘parliamentary fashion’ this concluded with the mirror’s fate going to ruins. As the policeman lifted his baton, the mirror spoke for one last time, it said; One day all capes and provinces will see the light of day and Helen Zille will seize the day. Lest we forget that all good stories must come to an end, at some point, some way, some day.

The End
