Anti-Feminism

One time Zeus and Hera had an argument on who got the most out of sex, men or women. So they asked some dude who due to an accident with some snakes had been turned into a woman. Having lived both as a man and a woman, he/she reported woman had many times the enjoyment. There was a story (Nora Vincent) some time back about a feminist who as part of an experiment decided to live 18 months as a man. To experience the male privilege supposedly, although her subsequent conclusion was that women were much more privileged. I think she even needed some extensive therapy afterwards, to deal with the trauma of having been a man. <snip>

This originally comes from Reddit, via Tumblr. Having said that, it seems authentic to me. As usual, I’m not quoting the whole thing, but you can read it here, if you want. The original is here, from the Subreddit, “Men’s Rights”.

A reddit user who verified their identity as a transgender told her story about what it was like to live life both as a man and a woman. What s/he experienced will definitely shock you ( unless you’re a non-brainwashed man ).

From Reddit:
“You can call me D. I’m a 22, almost 23 year old transgender male living in the US. I lived the first 17 years of my life as female, and have spent the last five presenting as male, and I have seen exactly what is different when it comes to how men and women are treated. I have always felt like a guy. Even when I was little. My parents had no problem with me being a ‘tomboy’, or acting mannish – fishing, karate, lifting weights, kicking the shit out of other kids in competitive contact sports like football, baseball, whatever. This wasn’t something that anyone saw as ‘strange’ – which I now see as a huge double standard… So many things that I was told to be proud of as a woman, now are a source of shame and teasing. Women can like and do whatever they like, but as a man, you are so god damn limited in what is ‘acceptable’… When I identified as female, I was somehow awesome for being on the taller end of femme, but now? Now I’ve been called a “manlet” for being a hair under average male height – because apparently men get to be treated like shit for something that they can’t control. I’ve also noticed that, while dating women, a lot of them won’t even go NEAR you if you’re under 6 feet tall. Which is bullshit. As I’m bisexual it didn’t really matter too much to me, but I did notice something anectodally interesting – gay men and bisexual men don’t generally give a flying flip if you’re short or tall as long as there is chemistry between you. But of course, men are the judgemental ones, right guies?
…As a woman, I was free to be as shitty as I wanted, in personality, as well – in my (very stupid) younger man-hating years, no one was mad, and people even ENCOURAGED me to be a man hater! Now, as a man, I am apparently not even allowed to voice my opinion on women’s rights. Doesn’t matter that I still have breasts, a vagina, and two X chromosomes – nope. Because I pass as male, I have suddenly lost my ability to understand the plight of poor womenfolk. There are SO many double standards between males and females, I could go on for the entire 15000 character limit, but I’ll leave it here and stop rambling.”
