Article: How feminists define gender traits

**Zerbu** · 22nd-March-2012

The ever so common feminist mantra in our misandric society is "men bad, women good." To put it another way: men are inherently bad by nature, and women are inherently good by nature. If a man or boy ever displays a positive trait, or if a woman or girl ever displays a negative trait, it's then identified as a social construct. In the mind of a feminist, and someone who believes feminism, women are the embodiment of everything good about the human species, and men are the embodiment of everything bad.

	Male	Female
Positive Trait	Learned	Innate
Negative Trait	Innate	Learned

Feminists switch between believing that all human behaviour is socially constructed, and believing that there is innate human behaviour, depending on whether the belief will support the "men bad, women good" mantra. They deny that there may be any innate positivity in males, or any innate negativity in females, by psychologically projecting any negative female traits onto males, and any positive male traits onto females. This way, they can continue to take down males.

How traits become male traits

Whenever someone who possesses male genitalia (that is quite literally the one and only requirement, a male personality isn't even needed) displays a negative trait - it is a male trait. When someone with that same genitalia gets angry, it is "male aggression." When a male does something stupid, it is because males are stupid.

This does not just apply to traits that are actually associated with maleness. The trait does not even have to actually be masculine for it to be seen as a typical male trait. As long as it is negative, and the person is male, it is a male trait. Even if it is equally likely to be displayed by females, it is still viewed as male behaviour. In fact, it could even be a typical female trait that is rarely displayed by a male, and feminists and other gynocentrics will still view it as a male trait, simply because it is something they don't like.

The negative trait, whether it is typical male behaviour or not, gets attributed to the male gender. Even if it is only one person who has displayed it.

Of course, it is a common mistake for someone to attribute traits to someone's gender, age, race, religion or other group, even if it is not a typical trait of that group, and this is a mistake that most people, regardless of their own gender, age, race, religion or other group, make. However, feminists and other gynocentrics not only go overboard with shaming the male gender in any way possible, but they even institutionalized their beliefs as the norm that men are bad and women are good.
Phrases such as "men are stupid", "boys will be boys", "*sigh* boys", "all men are jerks" and many others can be used for any purpose, as long as the person they are used on has male genitalia.

Another thing worth mentioning is how male-on-male conflict is viewed in regards to gender. In a negative situation where both the perpetrator and the victim are male, it is often that both are blamed, even if the victim does everything he possibly can to avoid the situation. If a male so much as explains a lie that's been told about him by another male, he is accused of retaliating, as a result of his maleness of course. The term "boys fighting" can be used even if only one boy is actually doing any fighting, though a male being a victim of male-on-male violence can be viewed as violent.

What they say about females who display negative traits

When a woman or girl displays a negative trait, unlike a man or boy, it is viewed as a social construct. For example, if a female ever perpetrates any kind of violence, it is always because a man wound her up (even if it is something stupid like not getting her the right gift, it is still the man's fault.) Some feminists even blindly blame negative traits displayed by females on patriarchal discrimination. Negative traits displayed by females can also be portrayed positively. For example, when a female attacks a male, even for a stupid reason, it is sometimes considered perfectly acceptable, and in our society where everyone has been poisoned with misandric views, it is assumed that the male deserved it.

When a male and female are in an argument, the female is usually the one believed by default. Why? Because according to feminists, females are never wrong, only males are. If the female is reacting negatively, it must have been because the male did something very bad, whereas if a male is reacting negatively, it's his nature. Some feminists even consider any male who dares say no to a female to be a misogynistic woman-hater.

Some people make jokes about how women and girls who do show negative traits or do stupid things are acting "like men/boys." This label can be applied whether the behaviour is masculine, neutral, or feminine. It just has to be negative to be seen as a male trait.

In situations where both the perpetrator and victim are female, unlike where both are male (which was mentioned above,) it is seen as a social construct and that both parties have suffered problems in their life. Many feminists try to label this as a result of the so-called patriarchy. Generally, neither are really "blamed" for the situation.

So, an outline on who is by default blamed for problems...

Male problem: It is a result of his male stupidity.
Female problem: It is a result of the patriarchy oppressing her.
Male-on-male conflict: Both are to blame.
Male-on-female conflict: The male is to blame.
Female-on-male conflict: The male is to blame.
Female-on-female conflict: It's a social construct forced by the patriarchy.

So remember, the feminist mentality is that there are no positive male traits or negative female traits, and anything that contradicts the "men good, women bad" mantra is a social construct. That, folks, is how feminists define gender traits. Anyone who dares to question it will be labelled a misogynist by feminists.

Quote from Zerbu

Anyone who dares to question it will be labelled a misogynist by feminists.

I'm actually quite proud to be labelled a misogynist. Yes, I know what the dictionary definition is but I don't hate women, just the opposite in fact. I have a wonderful partner, nieces and aunts who I love dearly. I have female friends that I socialise with and female workmates that I admire and respect. A woman even gave birth to me! I'm surrounded by WOMEN!

Over time, words can change in meaning through misuse or misunderstanding. 'Misogynist' is a word that has been abused by feminism so often that it has lost its power and its meaning. You only have to challenge feminist ideology to be accused of being a 'misogynist' so to me it has come to mean a hatred and mistrust of feminism, NOT of women. So 'misogynist' is something I wear like a badge of honour.

Another word that has changed definition is 'equality', in fact it changes almost daily. If you asked 10 different feminists the meaning of the word 'equality', you'd get 3 different answers. The other 7 will simply accuse you of being a misogynist.

Being angry is very good at times.

I love it! So true...

Great article!

If we want to put an end to this we can't be defined by elites, misandrists and feminists.

a bit like the Nazis projected as good and bad traits - bad traits were natural born and endemic to Jews and other sub-humans ; the good were natural born and endemic to the sublime Aryans - slim and blue eyed like Goebbels, Himmler and Goering

feminitism will have a run and eat its victims ( sincere family men) through institutions like the in-camera Family Court which is neither for the family nor is it a court rather a star chamber set up to sequester the assets and lives of men for the benefit of the wimyn the men foolishly were brainwashed to trust and sign tight rip off contracts with ( aka the marriage contract - the penalty clauses for the men the sunset clauses for the wimyn)

The family court is really the anti-family court.

ATLAS SHRUGS

How many men does it take to change a light bulb?
Two million, six hundred and twenty thousand, and ninety four.

1 to buy the bulb, change it and throw the old one in the bin
2000 to extract, ship, design and forge, deliver, market and sell the raw materials for the bin
5 to crew the wagon that carries the old light bulb away.
20 to man their refuse depot.
40 to man the landfill site that buries the old bulb

20 to wrestle the fundamental secrets of electricity from the universe
5 to invent the lightbulb after decades of trial, error, sweat, risk, insight and innovation
3 to design the particular style of bulb
100,000 to evolve the glassblowing process over millennia of tragic accidents and astonishing inspiration
2000 to design, inspect, approve, construct, secure, maintain and wire the building that the light socket sits in
500,000 to build and maintain the infrastructure that delivers energy to the light socket
1000 to build the factory that made the light bulb
5000 to man the supply chain of raw materials for it
1,000,000 to build their ships, trains and trucks
10,000 to tarmac the road and lay the tracks that the raw materials travelled over
1,000,000 to insure them all, and to never breathe a word about their loss

How many women does it take to change a lightbulb? One

One to nag her boyfriend to buy the lightbulb. The same one to get him to drive her to the DIY store and wait while she takes an hour to choose the one she wants, then borrow the money off and never pay it back. The same one to expect him to drive her home and nag him to fit the bulb. The same one to complain it is too bright / dim / colourful / bland / over designed / under designed, to stage an environmental protest outside the landfill site, sue the builders for sexual discrimination, write a false history that marginalises the men who made it possible, and demand that everyone around her pays for her massively overpriced, self-aggrandising wedding. The same one to divorce him, steal all his earnings, shove him out of his children’s lives, manipulate the legislative process and its enforcers to entrench her position, falsely accuse the builders of sexual assault, claim all the credit for a reproductive process in which she is entirely passive and indulged, make self-serving assertions that everything would be far better if women had done it all, and to call all her friends to bitch about having to change the lightbulb without any support from her useless ex-husband.

I reckon that, in a way, female worship befits men, while in the other, feminism is a pain in the ass for men. So, even though Feminism and Equal Rights are, in my view, lies that women tell themselves,´cause we know that eventually female instinct get the best of them (e.g., marriage, family, etc), men are equally contradictive: they "worship" women when it befits them, and fight them when they become too dominant. These contradictions, however, are as old as mankind, and shouldn´t be taken literally (the contradiction eventually disappears). Each "sex" needs its space and expression (which reminds me of the gypsy culture in my country, where both sexes get to be more "liberal" in themselves, than in the traditional european culture), even if that means that there is going to be war between them sometimes.

As Oscar Wilde said,

“Between men and women there is no friendship possible.
There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.”

Well, that was a big opinion piece, with absolutely NO supporting evidence or examples. I get it that somebody thinks this is the way it is, but if you're trying to persuade people, you need to do a much better job.
