The Feminist who is a Sexist

I am a sapiosexual, is what most intelligent woman label themselves to be, which means that they are attracted to brains in the opposite sex and are hell bent on being in an intellectual relationship with a man before even exploring the alternative physical attraction. They are not only attracted to intelligence, but that is what will bring to life their physical lust after the said potential. Now, that is but one of the labeling woman give themselves and proudly at that. The other is what has come to life in the recent VMA, Video Music Awards, where the well known Beyonce' came out and labelled herself a feminist. Now, before which not many knew about the word and neither were the statistics any better on Amamanda Adichie.

As a woman born into the 21st century, I am programmed to think more independently in comparison to a woman of the past century. Individuality is in born and taught by society if my DNA did miss the memorandum, and hence we will descend the stage into the chaos of life, and ride the bull held by the horn. We fear nothing, and sure as hell are not afraid to be criticized whilst at it. Because as evolution took form and woman become more integrated in their God Given form, they too became more stable and grew firm into their skin. No longer afraid to be strong, never mind independent.

But what happens when these strong woman label themselves feminist and will come in a cult to defend just how equal women are to men, but are too blinded as to how they have already placed themselves beneath men in their fight? How are you to praise equality, when you yourself feel you are fighting against the immoral injustice that is the place of a woman beneath a man? And then there is ultimate plot twist: The feminist who is in actual fact the sexist.

Now, many feminist portray the idea that they are for the fight of women and attaining their rightful place in society. Right there is the glitch, in order to fight for something it means there is an injustice, yes? Now allow me to reason this out in sequence. In order for there to be an injustice, it too means that the woman is then not an equal man. Leads me to asking, why are you fighting a battle that is already won. Woman are not beneath men, as you have the likes of Dilma Rouseff, leading one of the nation’s leading oil exporters, Brazil, next to her I place Angela Merkel, a woman tough as nails, leading a nation like Germany. 

Pardon me if I am not of the impression that I need to fight for the equality of women, as I have long since shed myself of the shackles society so proudly wears, for I am a free woman. Free to reign and become all that I am destined to be without the preconceived notion of society that I am beneath a man.

Now, feminist can walk over the set boundaries of equality and cross over to the feminist mini party in an attempt to tell the misogynist just how equal she is to the man. How familiar are these words “Without a woman, man would not exist”? These are thrown onto the table, in an attempt to salvage the case of why we as woman are just as important or rather equally powerful. Now, ladies and gentlemen allow me to give you food for thought, is it not true that one species cannot exist without the other? Ok, then why is it that we allow ourselves to be shackled up and then led into an invisible fight of words drawn and hiding behind a miser in an attempt to hide just how insecure we really are.

Let’s dissect this: A woman is said to be the man’s right hand and she is to be at his side as he charges out into the world to seek financial security for the woman. How is this any different to the woman? Because it is not a pre-requisite for the woman?  Woman, are a living contradiction, as they say they are not after the man’s financial worth, but look for a man who can cater. Ok, granted no woman wants to find a man that will lay him beneath her. But there is the catch, how can you say you do not want a man that will be laid beneath you by your bank balance, whilst in essence this is the very thing the feminist fights. Equality for all, yet once the tables are turned there is no equality for all, does it then not boil down to the fact that a feminist is a sexist?
