men suck but we should all be men

why does feminism exist? why do women feel "powerless"? women have plenty of power. while men possess physical power, the emotional separation that leadership often requires, the ability and will to earn money much easier than women, women have sexual and emotional power. women, with their beauty and their charm, easily gain the upper hand in any relationship whenever they please. why do women need more power?

obviously, sin. whoever wants power necessarily wants more. there is nothing new here. i also believe men, specifically fathers, carry the blame here. of course, they always do. we always do.

imagine a young girl, desperate for her father's affection. her father may be preoccupied with the War, or with providing a living for his family. he may be an alcoholic, or a serial cheater. he may simply find it difficult to express the affection he feels for his daughter. he does not validate her "girl-ness" or show her how special she is just because. is she special because she can do what only a woman can? care for a family? bear children? support a husband, strong in certain ways, physically, economically, but patently weak emotionally? because her father has not shown her what is important about being a woman, she cannot do these things. she only believes in what has been revealed to her. strength and fulfillment can only be found in what men have: leadership, money, physical power. what is a young girl to do? turn to Christ? ideally, but God does not gift grace to everyone. she will turn elsewhere for what she needs.

political power. economic power. the power to destroy life.

eventually she realizes she can literally "become" a man. what could be more "empowering"? what can possibly be more powerful than becoming your father, doing everything he can, being as strong as him, as neglecting, as empty, as desperate...
