The Sexist Tragedy
The Sexist Tragedy
By Punkerslut
A hero's words die slowly once his body has been given back to
the earth. A last kiss. A song. A sunrise. A breeze. A memory of
what it was once like.
Millions of children have had to grow up in a world that
believed virtue, goodness, and strength to be male traits, and
believed that lust, viciousness, and betrayal to be female
traits. Long years of battling, using the weapon of argument and
the shield of rhetoric, have gained territory for the Feminist
movement. Everywhere there could be seen an injustice, a
brutality, a thoughtless act of cruelty, an act where women were
treated differently on account of their gender -- the
commonplace of this sort of inhumanity I shall call the Sexist
tragedy. And everywhere that these brutal and heartless crimes
were committed, there was a mind developing a thought, that
maybe what is happening is unjust and careless. Freethinkers and
Anarchists began to develop their minds as they fought for a
more just society. People began to think, that just maybe,
because society believes in something, that doesn't necessarily
give it merit -- because it is common, it doesn't necessarily
mean it is satisfactory to the spirit of justice -- because it
is well-accepted and a part of "civilized society," it does not
mean that we should honor or cherish it. Let me assure you, too,
that these were crimes, for though they violated no lawbook or
legislation, they tore asunder the conscience in every good
person's heart. And every philosopher who rose his voice against
the Sexist tragedy was called the attacker, the warrior against
society, for it was believed that by giving liberty to women,
there would be a downfall in civilization as the basic family
unit was destroyed.
When we read the epic tales today of how a small fragment of
society revolted against the mainstream, all for the sake of
asserting the rights of an oppressed group -- it fills us with
hope and inspiration, and maybe the idea that we, too, can do
the same.
The pain stings more when we believe in honesty and we must
tell a lie to retain social status -- so I have vowed to tell no
lies for this motive.
A person who argues that the Sexist tragedy does not still
pervail in some form today is as ignorant of it as they are of
Sexism. Whether the origin is biological or not, there is no
denying the prevalence of the idea that sex for women is
considered vicious or unhealthy or rampant, while sex for men is
considered necessary, healthy, and virtuous. A man who has sex
often is given the status of hero, but a woman whose actions are
not different from those of this man will be given a low ranking
status. Those men who treat women poorly because of their sexual
appetite, and those women who believe themselves immoral because
of what they do -- they make up the Sexist tragedy of today that
pervades. The man who treats a woman without respect because of
what may be known of her sexually is doing himself a disservice.
He has succesfully disconnected half of the human species from
his mind -- those spirits that cherished goodness and felt the
rush of happiness at thoughts of family, those women who has
decided to spit on, will be strangers to him. He may never know
the truth of affection, the beauty of sex, the justice of
independence, if he forever views a good woman as a chaste woman
-- if he continues to believe that sexual women are of an
inferior quality, that a woman's lust determines her goodness,
that a member of the female species is inherently cruel because
of whom she allows to have sex with her. A gentle, kind soul may
be found within a woman, regardless of her sex habits. Only a
person without courage or boldness will suppress their desires
when it is to be accepted by a culture that has forgotten the
meaning of beauty. In this respect, every woman who follows
through with what her heart tells her has accomplished what only
the strongest of mind can do.
If a man has done himself a disservice by treating women
differently than he treats his fellow men, then think of the
women who have been brought up in this society. Think of the
thoughts that may collect and gather in their minds, think if a
person had to believe that they were themselves immoral because
of naturally occuring sexual ideas. A culture that subjects
women to the idea that they are inherently bad for thinking
about sex is cruel, vindictive, and heartless. These ideas and
thoughts, they destroy the last thread of human dignity by
debasing the female gender, they promote malice, they ignore
gentle instincts, they are negligent of everything that has
meaning. And they are only believed by our society because
children, deprived of any meaningful education or independence,
or forced to swallow these ideas whole. It is a disservice to
our children to convince them that the rules of sex are
different for the genders -- and once those children grow up,
they are without liberty of the heart and mind if they continue
to uphold these ideas. The Sexist tragedy pervades still, as we
are told by every center for culture that sex for men is a sign
of pride, but a sign of shame for women. It goes against the
rules of logic, against the meaning of justice, against the
declarations of humanity. It is an utter contradiction in a
society that has claimed to support goodness.
The sort of beauty that can arrise out of nature has been a
source of inspiration for every thinker who has felt outcast.
There are few crimes so painful, so utterly thoughtless and
culturally supported, than that of Sexism. As a victim, to know
that others consider you less because of some attribute that you
had no control over. To know that to others around you, some you
may care about, some you may have brought yourself to love, some
you have formed relationships with and created a place in your
heart for them -- to know that they think it is normal that
think you are inferior because of your gender. A Sexist, one who
has believed that the emotions of a female are debased, that
their role in society should be limited, that their souls and
spirits were of a poor quality -- a Sexist has caused the
misery, the suffering, the pain of half of the human species.
And while small societies revolt, led by Freethinkers and
Feminists, all of them with the dream of liberty and freedom,
the Sexist will see this as civilization losing its meaning and
purpose. Prejudice and discrimination are not friends of
humanity, nor are they components of justice, nor are they
allies to liberty. Prejudice has been the shield to injustice,
the sword to persecution, the reason to rebel to liberators, the
strength to rogues. It has been overthrown by every person to
think for themselves and erected by every person to listen to
cultural superstition.
And to us, it is a reason to fight back.
