It seems to me that some people would be much better off if their abusers would simply leave them alone. Maybe if their inherent hatred of their victim could simply drive them away things would get better. Unfortunately the insanity of the Biting Beaver is not an isolated case for all it’s extremism. At least she isn’t talking about deliberately punishing male children… she is just doing it as a side effect of her paranoia and disappointment she didn’t terminate them.
For others, the solution is clear… if you have a male child, simply let it die. They were only going to grow up to be rapists anyway.
mAndrea is right that, while the presumption of a natural male inclination toward violent subjugation of females has indeed been used to justify women’s oppression, it can also easily be used to justify extreme efforts toward our freedom from them.
We could do this by refusing to be mothers to males. Even in places where abortions or other adequate birth control are lacking, women could refuse to nurse male neonates. You may wonder what horrible tragedies would befall the poor women who didn’t give men the sons they demanded. Might they be beaten? Might they be raped? Might they be killed?
Women are being beaten, raped, murdered, sold, and dehumanized right now, in torture porn and elsewhere. I’d rather die fighting as one of the last generation of women to suffer at the hands of men than to live a life of patriarchy-provided comfort, at the expense the generations of daughters to come.
Now, perhaps once male numbers were manageable enough, once we’d stopped allowing them an automatic and entitled suckle at the female teat, we could consider the possibility of educating the brutality out of them. In the meantime, it is ridiculous to think that after 6000 years of this shit, a people who comprise 49 percent of the population, hold 98 percent of the wealth, and possess a greater physical strength than us are just going to start treating us like humans out of the kindness of their hearts.
I’m not trying to get into it with the mothers of sons, but I refuse, on a supposedly radical feminist forum, to pretend as if it wouldn’t have been better for most males never to have been born. Whether you choose to comfort yourself by including your own Nigel Jr. in that near non-existent minority of men who do not actively benefit from the oppression of women is your own business, and it’s certainly not relevant to radical feminism.” – the final solution, as proposed by justicewalks
Ah yes, the indiscriminate murder and neglect of children based solely on their gender. Truly it is the insano-feminist paradise. Maybe a lot of male children would be better off abandoned and living with their fathers than in the care of a woman who hates them and will spend a lifetime filling them with guilt and self loathing.
Oh, I remember reading this nonsense and wondering what on earth was wrong with HER and everyone else responding to her as though she just wrote something normal. I believe HEART actually congratulated this justicewalks person and told her readers that justicewalks was writing some important work on the twisty boards and provided a link. Of course, I think justicewalks got banned from those forums shortly after the post you’ve quoted above.
Also, there will be no babies, male or female, if all the males are exterminated as justicewalks suggests. Crazy ass people.
Hmm reading that forum just makes me angry. Even the moderate posters seem to rejoice in boys doing worse than girls in school and university. How does that work?
Its only sexism if it negatively women apparently.
No one addressed or refuted the actual assertion.
Sexism is alive and well, grossly unfair and oppressive, and strictly tied to biology. If men, as a class, cannot stop behaving in a grossly unfair manner, then it is appropriate to consider practical methods which would result in a planet free of male humans. While I personally do not consider JW's method practical or ethical, other methods do indeed exist…
Note: a reasonable person measures the amount of harm men do to women by measuring the amount of harm. Only a foolish and unreasonable person measures the amount of harm men do to women by measuring the amount of nice guys.
By all means, Iwouldappreciate a link back
