About Virtue and Order

The virtue of feminism

A lovesome towards feminism. By a feminist who loves freedom dearly.

Trigger warning

No Triggers ahead. 

Freedom is dangerous. Freedom is dangerous because if one has absolute freedom, he could do whatever he wanted. Like, for instance, kill someone. Or torture someone. Maybe some guy gets the idea that even rape might be a good thing, and then its just downhill from there. Where thoughts are allowed to run free, moral decay and certain doom aren't far away. Like in Sodom and gomorrha.

That's why we need an authority. An authority to cancel out all bad behaviour. And since we know, all bad behaviour stems from patriarchy, we just have to ban oppression. This means we need an authority that isn't an authority. Something everybody listens to, but nobody feels oppressed by. And this would be feminism, of course. Everyone's favorite subject!

Feminism is the one and only saving grace in a time where moral decay like slut shaming, victim blaming and the thought of "rape is ok, everyone does it" is endorsed. We all need to open ourselves up to feminism, open ourselves to salvation. We swear to check our privileges so no one is saviour and everyone is salvation because everyone and everything is equal and accepted.. We're all the same. Millions of People, but one beating heart. One feminism.

Let it be told, that thou should only look upon yourself and wonder of the oppressing. Find it, and tear it out of your soul as if it was evil seed and bad crop. Because feminism has spoken "thou shalt not be worth any less of a man's, you shalt be equal.", and so the lowly men have to check their privilege, in the sweat of their brow, whilst women reign over patriarchy, being equal and fair.

Don't dareth express the sin of privilege, or you shalt be eaten by the one-horned beast which is named the patriarchy. It will objectify you, for as an object of lust and desire for lowly men. Thine womanly eyes shalt not wittness those vile beasts lustering over your flesh, because your flesh is the of the innocent, of an angel to humankind, that of a feminist. These are my words! Listen and Believe!

Praise Feminism! Praise Equality!

Sing the name of the Saviour along with me,

Say: I am not oppressed

I am free

Of patriarchy

Why #shirtstorm was right

On sexist T-Shirts

TRIGGER WARNING

If you are triggered by social injustice, don't read on.

When thinking about #shirtstorm, where a man was demanded to apologize for wearing an incredbily sexist shirt, you have to wonder why woman and girls all over the world are rightfully upset. So - why are they upset? And how can depictions of woman be upsetting to woman anyways?

#shirtgate. Notice the horrifed expression on the face of the poor woman, as oppression is taking place. Rumor says, she was tiggered by this interview.

I had a lot of conversation in my university with women in my gender-debating circle with it, and, as always, when we talk about highly emotional charged issues, tears were shed. Some woman were triggered, too, but I'll just have these Quotes doing the talk:

Diana F. 23 years old:

 " When I saw that picture, as well as the appalled expression on face the face of the female interviewer, I was like, wait. This remembers me of a thing, that once happened. You know, that one guy? At the bar? Who won't leave you alone after you, like, said, already "no thx"? The cometguy is the same kind of guy, and he's just as sexist. That's why I think STEM-education is sexist as well and that's the reason why I won't enter this field of education anytime soon."

Carola M. 19 years old:

 "I am a victim of the porno-industry. I started to work there because I wasn't interesting in college and higher education and wanted to have a quick buck. I am a victim of heavy drug abuse and general other feminist issues as well, but, I have to say, patriarchy made me do these things. Now, I'm a reborn feminist, and I find it incredibly hard to start my career in the STEM-field now, because his shirt is just unheard of, and this blatant sexism repels me."

Laura B, 27 years old:

"I studied engineering for 3 and a half years now and I don't feel welcome anymore because of this shirt. And I don't like it when men wear what they want whilst not thinking about what I would like to see. I have this problem kind of everywhere, what is a sure sign of patriarchy. This isn't worth it anymore, I'll better quit my STEM-field degree, it's just too much, this shirt broke the metaphorical camel's back." 

Needless to say, all those girls were triggered as well and angry and sad. But how can we fight those injustices? How can we end woman's suffering altogether?

Microphones - the hidden horror

Microphones

TRIGGER WARNING

If your feelings get crused rather easily by maybe-offending posts, you shouldn't read this. It's really not offending, but who knows.

typical sexist microphone

There are many hidden instances of partriachal oppression in our society. And let me tell you, those are the most terrifying of them all. Last week, I was at a conference about banning penis-shaped vegetables, as my eyes widened in dread. I couldn't even fathom the irony that was taking place at this particular moment. 

There she was, one of our speakers (better don't give away the name, bc harassment), speaking into a microphone. I may have to capitalize it to really give away what I mean. A microphone!

Now, please don't think I'm crazy. I know I'm kinda emotional right now, and I hope I can get this post clear to you without  having to repeat myself too often. I was emotional back then, too. Breaking into sweats, nervously skidding around in my chair, when the observation hit me. It's hard to write down, too.

Are Bananas sexist?

Bananas - the hidden harassment

TRIGGER WARNING

If you are terrified by phallic-shaped object which might you remember something you don't want to remember, like, for example, a big penis, don't read on.

Every woman has had this experience. You know, after a long and stressful day, like going to a mall, or getting some books, you like, as a woman, to sit down, and have a meal. In my youth, I always enjoyed something healthy, as a banana or a cucumber. Hell, even some carrots were in my lunchbox back in the day!

But, as you may have noticed on the left-hand picture, the patriarchy has made simple things like eating sexualized. Well, you may just see a woman eating happily a banana, Many will also see the horrified gaze on her face, as she is trembling in fear. Yes, at this very moment she is oppressed and is trying to surpress her feelings through "a smiling face" because "girls should always smile", right?

The overly sexualized context of this picture is a defamation of this very girl's basic human rights. Her dignity is undermined through the cultural context of what's commonly known as a blowjob.
