The Gender Imbalance Is Caused By Women Themselves !!! (Me vs My Step-Dad #2)

The Gender Imbalance Is Caused By Women Themselves !!! (Me vs My Step-Dad #2)

Hi everybody, Mary here !

So, here's another Me vs My Step-Dad™ post because seriously what he says sometimes is so ridiculous it's almost embarassing...

Anyways. Here's another of our rants about gender imbalance, and gender equality ! (while watching a movie where a female cop panics in front of a male criminal...)

Him : hahaha it's so funny. Like, it's such a woman-y thing to do.

Me : why do you say this ? It's just one woman, not all women. There are some badass ones.

Him : yeah, but I'm an ex-Marine. In real life, they are all like this. They all want to be as badass as men and then they are given less tasks and less exercise.

Me : You can't expect the same results from two differently built bodies !

Him : then don't expect equality ! Because even in P.E. at school, they give you less running than boys, right ?

Me : because you can't expect young ladies and young men to have the same results !

Him : they should only have one grid for all. 20 laps means 20/20, and so on.

Me : but it's unfair ! Girls will never run as much as men ! You don't understand what is equality, right ?

Him : yes, I know, it's mathematical. Everyone gives the same effort or else it's not equal.

Me : no. Equality is each gender giving their maximum ability. Sexes are differently built, and that's why everyone should be given a fair shot.

Him : yeah, and then there are these women, these piss-babies, who want to be in the army with men, and then they ask for personal favours and less work than men ! And then they aren't as efficient as men on the field !

Me : at the very least they tried. You can't dismiss their work because of their gender.

And another discussion while reading off an article on my mom's Twitter :

Me : yeah, have you seen that the qualities required to be a leader are more stereotypically masculine and that's why most leaders are men and not women !!!

Him : it's because women aren't trying to do enough !!!

Me : there's a litteral proof that says right here that society in general prefers men as leaders over women and you're saying we're not « trying enough » ? Bullshit. Besides, it's the same in politics.

Him : then why aren't there more female candidates ?

Me : because people don't vote for them and they are pressured not to be candidates !

Him : yeah, but there are more women than men. Why don't they all vote for women ? It's women's fault if there is a gender imbalance. They just have to vote for women !

(He also said : The gender-pay gap exists because women don't ask for equal pay in regards to men's pay !!!!! which is honestly so fucking stupid I didn't even bother to answer to this one.)

So, basically, for my step-dad, gender imbalance exists because :

1. it's women's fault
2. women should be treated equally as men therefore do as much even if it's physically impossible
3. it's women's fault
4. women are stupid and should be candidates and vote for their own gender if they want to be the next generation of leaders (by the way DO THIS WOMEN LET'S FUCK THESE SEXIST PIGS !!!!!)
5. it's women's fault
6. women should ask for equality themselves (as if we were not doing it RIGHT NOW YOU FUCKING TWAT) !!!!!
7. IT'S WOMEN'S FAULT !!!!!

But then, he says, oh no, I'm not sexist. I treat everyone equally. (which he uses to « explain » the fact that he could be hitting anyone as much as he wants, and that women can be hurt as much as men, as if they were not the victims of harassers everyday of their lives just because they are females !!!!!)

No ! Gender imbalance exists because of patriarchy. Because of sexist men like you who demean women's work like you. Because of assholes like you.

Not. Because. Of. Women.

Okay, that's it for today ! I really hope you enjoyed this post and I'll see you very soon with a new one !

And as usual, our last word : KIDNEYS !!!
