So I just watched Vagina Monologues. What did you think about it?

[Anonymous No.2636196]

Nor can one expect anything else from women if one considers that the most eminent heads of the entire sex have proved incapable of a single truly great, genuine and original achievement in art, or indeed of creating anything at all of lasting value: this strikes one most forcibly in regard to painting, since they are just as capable of mastering its technique as we are, and indeed paint very busily, yet cannot point to a single great painting; the reason being precisely that they lack all objectivity of mind, which is what painting demands above all else. Isolated and partial exceptions do not alter the case: women, taken as a whole, are and remain thorough and incurable philistines: so that, with the extremely absurd arrangement by which they share the rank and title of their husband, they are a continual spur to his ignoble ambitions. They are sexus sequior, the inferior second sex in every respect: one should be indulgent toward their weaknesses, but to pay them honour is ridiculous beyond measure and demeans us even in their eyes.

Fichte argued that "active citizenship, civic freedom and even property rights should be withheld from women, whose calling was to subject themselves utterly to the authority of their fathers and husbands."

Just because they're women. Behold, the reason women have never done anything good and will never do anything good.

Always trust the majority and status quo opinion. It's always right.

I expect to feel empowered as a woman but the whole ordeal was awkward, lame and weird. I think it puts women in a bad light but I can't really say why. Maybe it's because if we were confident in our own sexuality then maybe we wouldn't need to have a show such as this one. Also I think Vagina Monologues makes women look weak. It made me feel as if I have a sickness and am part of a support group at one of their meetings.

It's called victim culture, and the left adores it.

contemporary liberalism

eg. white people telling women and minorities how wonderful they are and how terrible white men are over and over for a century while the two former groups do literally nothing of note or interest
