A misogynist, am I? Prove it.

February 21st, 2010 8 comments

I was accused of being a misogynist, today.

Well, actually, it was yesterday, but I just saw it today.

I think that’s a first for me.  At least, to my face.  Although I suppose people probably have made the reasonable assumption that, since I don’t normally comment, and almost never on other people’s comments, I don’t read comments.  So maybe they didn’t think I’d see it.

Which, you know, what the fuck? I may have problems with my own opinion of myself, but others’ opinions of me? Seriously, man, if you’ve got something to say come say it.  You might be surprised.  I might tell you you’re absolutely right.  I might also point out which is your ass and which is a hole in the ground, but you never know.

My best friends, second only to Master, are women.  At least one of them is a stereotypical female from start to finish.  She’s jealous, and finicky, and petty, and catty, and frustratingly stubborn, and a drama queen, and an attention whore, and flighty, and impetuous, and… And I love her to bits for all her faults.

I’m bisexual.  And before Master, the only relationships I could make work for any period of time were with women.

I have six daughters, for Christ’s sake.  Granted, I admittedly hate one of them, but I have good reason, and none of them have anything to do with her being female.

A misogynist.  Ha.

For the record, just in case anyone’s confused, being an owned female who doesn’t agree with all the points and propaganda of feminism does not a misogynist make.

I have no problem whatsoever with the empowerment of women, up to and until the point of equality.  Anything beyond that smacks of misandry, and I will not condone it, even if that gives people the incorrect impression that I hate women.

Come on, ladies.  From the tone of the comment, it seems the general consensus among the sex blogging community is that I am, in fact a misogynist.  So put your money where your mouth is.  Tell me why.  Prove it, and I’ll concede the point.

But, honestly? I call bullshit.

Edited to add my response on Brit’s blog to Sarahbear’s comment:

I have to say I was not the least bit surprised to see that the two biggest misogynists I’ve seen in this community (Eliot and Rayne) were agreeing whole-heartedly with C&B’s post. Unfortunately, nothing is ever going to change with those sorts of attitudes. When we choose to get offended by things and become defensive, rather than see the truth in them and try to apply that truth towards change, we’ll just remain in a fucked up place.

Wait… what? You don’t even know me.

So because I’m friends with Eliot, owned property, don’t stand by feminist propaganda, and agree with, what I understood as, a declaration that if people as a whole would stop buying into privilege, it would cease to exist, I hate women? You guys sure are funny.

I don’t hate women. I’m firmly bisexual. I love women.

I hate stupid women. I hate women who blindly follow the herd, rather than forming their own opinions. And would you look at that? I hate stupid men who blindly follow the herd without forming their own opinions, too. So I guess that makes me an equal opportunity hater. ~smiles sweetly~
