For the Men Who Still Don’t Get It

utes4lyfe:

What if 
all women were bigger and stronger than you

 As if all men are bigger and stronger than women. Good job reinforcing stereotypes in the first fucking sentence.

And thought they were smarter

Like you do? 

What if 
women were the ones who started wars 

More stereotyping of men as violent brutes. How amusing. What was that about stereotypes being harmful again?

What if 
too many of your friends had been raped by women wielding giant dildos 
and no K-Y Jelly 

While the “giant dildos” part would be an exaggeration, women CAN and DO rape. And get away with it with an even greater chance than male rapists, AND in some cases even succeed at demanding child support from their victims. Your point?

What if 
the state trooper 
who pulled you over on the New Jersey Turnpike 
was a woman 
and carried a gun 

I’d hope she isn’t holding on to bullshit stereotypes like the author of this drivel.

What if 
the ability to menstruate 
was the prerequisite for most high-paying jobs 

I wonder just when this was written. If it was written anytime recently, I can only attribute this part to old truths turning into modern myths.

What if 
your attractiveness to women depended 
on the size of your penis 

Can you really ask that with a straight face when many women ACTUALLY judge men by the size of their penis?

What if 
every time women saw you 
they’d hoot and make jerking motions with their hands 

Wouldn’t give a flying fuck, because I’m thicker-skinned than to be offended by some random morons’ advances. A better question is, what if intelligent, well-cultured women were held responsible for the actions of said morons, the same way innocent men are?

What if 
women were always making jokes 
about how ugly penises are 
and how bad sperm tastes 

Once again, a “what if” that isn’t really hypothetical at all.

What if 
you had to explain what’s wrong with your car 
to big sweaty women with greasy hands 
who stared at your crotch 
In a garage where you are surrounded 
by posters of naked men with hard-ons 

I’d explain what the fuck is wrong with my car. If you can’t, hell, that’s your own lack of knowledge. And said occupation would make anyone (yes, even you) sweaty and greasy-handed, so good job judging every single car mechanic as some kind of brute. Really shows how above stereotypes you are.

What if 
men’s magazines featured cover photos 
of 14-year-old boys 
with socks 
tucked into the front of their jeans 
and articles like: 
“How to tell if your wife is unfaithful” 
or 
“What your doctor won’t tell you about your prostate” 
or 
“The truth about impotence” 

I’d dismiss it as tasteless bullshit meant for an audience less discerning than I. Which is the way I see a lot of pop-culture bullshit, so it’d be nothing new.

What if 
the doctor who examined your prostate 
was a woman 
and called you “Honey” 

I’d find a doc who isn’t a sexist idiot, because I’m not misguided enough to think that all women are the same.

What if 
You had to inhale your boss’s stale cigar breath 
as she insisted that sleeping with her 
was part of the job

See the above answer applied to this situation.

What if 
You couldn’t get away because 
the company dress code required 
you wear shoes 
designed to keep you from running 

1.) I question exactly what companies demand their employees to wear high heels.
2.) If getting away is not an option, fighting back still is.

And the implication that high heels are “designed to keep you from running” is ever-so-slightly (or perhaps significantly more) paranoid.

And what if 
after all that 
women still wanted you 
to love them.

I’d love those who earn my love, respect those who earn my respect, and hate those who earn my hatred, weighing each person’s worth by their individual traits, as I’m not stupid enough to rely on sweeping generalizations.

Good job perpetuating absurd generalizations and stereotypes and attempting to present it as artsy and thoughtful, Carol.
