There is no such thing as female suprema...Hi Jane,<br /><br />There is no such thing as female supremacy. There is only male supremacy and white supremacy in the region of the world I live in. Female supremacy is a fantasy of histerical men's imaginations--or a fetish, perhaps, and therefore warrants little attention and even less concern.<br /><br />Warren Farrell was a profeminist man who got bitter after rejection and has been out to undermine feminist efforts to end patriarchal atrocities and challenge male privileges ever since. I have no respect for him whatsoever, and no regrets in stating so publicly. Feminism need not be replaced; patriarchy and male supremacy must be uprooted, and utterly transformed, composted, into humane forms of social being and living.<br /><br />That you regard feminism as in any way "a problem", a threat to human rights and well-being only indicates to me that you are in the tragically large company of those who actively maintain profound denial about what white male supremacy is and does.<br /><br />You needn't come here again to promote Warren Farrell or his ideology of patriarchy-denying. <br /><br />I'll hope that Warren will wake up and own what white men and our privileges mean and do. That he'll come to his senses and recognise and discuss who, really, is in charge of media, religion, education, pornography, sexual trafficking, the police, the military, corporations, globalisation, and the lack of attention on the genocides and gynocides happening across the globe.<br /><br />I will hope for this, but I won't hold my breath. Why you would want to come here to promote the false ideology of such a despicable man is beyond me.Julian Realhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02933612851144914687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744114065733119575.post-10933202109124648352010-05-19T13:38:40.994-04:002010-05-19T13:38:40.994-04:00May it be female or male supremacy, our stand on g...May it be female or male supremacy, our stand on gender issues should be planted on the efforts of replacing feminism with humanism. According to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Why-Men-Earn-More-Startling/dp/0814472109" rel="nofollow">Warren Farrell</a>, feminism should work in understanding the basic differences of men and women. Admittedly, men think and behave differently compared to women. <a href="http://www.warrenfarrell.info/warren-farrell/" rel="nofollow">Warren Farrell</a> explained the issue on work ethics relating to both sexes. He wrote in one of his books that women tend to choose the kind of job they wanted to take based on their duties as females. <a href="http://www.menweb.org/svofarre.htm" rel="nofollow">Warren Farrell</a> also emphasized the reality that men are paid higher salaries compared to women because of their willingness to take risks at work. With that, female superiority is an anti-thesis of humanism. Hence, we should look into the welfare of both men and women and refrain from giving much attention on the rights of women alone.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388827782562273328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744114065733119575.post-4912901525610805802010-02-09T19:01:26.736-05:002010-02-09T19:01:26.736-05:00Ah yes that old myth concerning female supremacy. ...Ah yes that old myth concerning female supremacy. Claims concerning this regularly surface on the internet and are all too commonly used to demonise radical feminists. <br /><br />Feminism is not about claiming or proclaiming women are superior to men or even claiming/proclaiming men are inferior to women. Feminism is concerned with eradicating white male supremacist systems/patriarchal systems which continue to 'normalise' male dominance and control over women as a group.<br /><br />Ah yes the late Andrea Dworkin is regularly cited when claims are made concerning the pseudo threat of 'female supremacy' which is supposedly just waiting for an opportunity to dethrone white male supremacy and replace it with female supremacy.<br /><br />Methinks this author doth protest too much! <br /><br />Biological essentalism wherein it is claimed 'men are from mars and women are from venus' is making a huge comeback and is being used as 'evidence' of one sex's supposedly superiority over another. <br /><br />The system of white male supremacy operates not because we are all supposedly slaves to our genes, hormones, biology, evolution but because white male supremacy is a system devised and created by white men for white men's benefit. <br /><br />Andrea Dworkin's piece on the dangers of biological essentalism is commonly ignored as is other radical feminist writings on challenging biological essentalism. <br /><br />By the way, first wave feminism was not about so-called female superiority over men, rather they were concerned with challenging and debunking increasing male-centered and male-defined science which was being used to maintain and perpetuate claims that women, especially middle-class white women were subject to their biological imperatives and hence incapable of learning or even considering anything else other than becoming some man's wife (ergo servant). Working class women were seen as innately degenerate and totally responsible for not being able to lift themselves out of poverty. First wave feminism and indeed women before the rise of first wave feminism have consistently analysed and attempted to challenge white male supremacy but not until the rise of first wave feminism did women attempt to work together as a group. This is why the fact of women coming together as a group in order to challenge white male supremacy was seen as a massive threat to the status quo and had to be quashed. <br /><br />Interestingly the author of this piece positions men in a positive light whereas women as a group are depicted from a misogynistic perspective. Yet another example of how the male supremacist system operates. Not forgetting that racist claims were also used to reinforce white male supremacy as being 'natural and supposedly fixed.'JENNIFER DREWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02112807166372869685noreply@blogger.com
