2019年05月15日 "You bastard"


 A certain man said, "I know the shapes of Reason and of Woman." when asked about this, he replied, "reason is four-cornered and will not move even in an extreme situation. Woman is round. One can say that she does not distinguish between good and evil or right and wrong and tumbles into any place at all." - Hagakure, Yamamoto Tsunetomo
I have a colleague from Africa who has wholeheartedly become disenfranchised by liberal feminism. Neither of us are convinced that feminism has truly helped any woman be happy. Both of us agreed that feminism does not empower women to be accountable, and enjoy its responsibility. It seems repugnant to me that anyone would want any level of power and zero responsibility. I'm convinced people get bored or resentful when that happened.

I think this is why some people like dogs. Some people can't maintain relationships with other people because of boredom or anger, etc. People can leave, animals can't. With a pet one can put them down or sell them when the owner is bored or ready to "move on". The animal has no choice in the matter. I believe most feminists feel this way about relationships: they believe they should have the freedom to do what they want without thinking of the consequences. I see little or no systems in place by feminists encouraging them to reflect on their decisions in life and how they can improve their negative actions. Feminism is not free from negativity.

As far as my friend goes, I feel bad for my friend. I think it's probably because she doesn't relate well to her coworkers or most modern millennial or gen-z women. On the upside it's nice when we talk,  because she's seen first hand how bitchy women around us can get.

I'm not saying men are superior, it's for another day.
