What the Hell Is Wrong With Women?

Perhaps we should shut down womanhood until we find out just what the hell is going on here. The last couple of weeks have been more insane than usual, and everything has been insane for the last couple of decades, but this insanity has been mostly about the crazy things that crazy women do. And most of the ladies involved are women of pallor from the middle to upper-middle class. From bizarre social media imbroglios, like a mom demanding all the other moms stop sending Oreos to school because her kid isn’t allowed to have Oreos so no kid can have Oreos, to the hideous and morally bankrupt embrace of a psychotic killer who strangled her three little kids, there’s clearly something wrong in Chicksville. And it’s about time we say so.

But some of us on the conservative side warn that we shouldn’t say so. Why, we’re going to turn women against us if we criticize women, and we’re going to turn them into leftists. But you know what? It’s vital that we criticize women. Women are half of people, and there are a lot of stupid people out there. We need to shine the spotlight of clarity and truth on the idiots and watch them scramble like cockroaches under our scrutiny. Yes, we should criticize women. When women are a group that does stupid and evil things, we should say that they are doing stupid and evil things and that they should stop doing stupid and evil things.

Obviously, we should do the same for men, and there’s no shortage of critiques of men. No one ever hesitates to point out obnoxious behavior on the part of men that is unique to men. There’s even a name for it—“toxic masculinity.” And there are uniquely bad qualities to men, ways that men are bad that women are not. Because here’s the thing: men and women are different. And how they suck is sometimes different, too.

But we’re not supposed to say that about women. We’re not supposed to point out when women are uniquely bad, only when they’re uniquely good. We’re told that women are special. Girl power! We’ve all seen the pro-gal propaganda, the stuff that’s helped turn men into about 40 percent of college students. Women are praised for uniquely positive qualities associated with being women. But you know, diversity is not all awesome. If you have uniquely positive qualities, you’re also going to have uniquely negative qualities. And, as every single human being who’s ever met a woman knows, women can be bad in ways that men generally aren’t.

Oh no, now I’m being sexist. Well, what’s wrong with being sexy?

But if being sexist means realizing that men and women are different, OK. Sign me up. Because men and women are different. They are physically different. They are mentally different. And they take on different roles in society. I know I’m doing something that drives stupid and disingenuous people crazy, which is generalizing. Generalizing is a useful tool, and it drives people who want to hide the obvious up the wall. For example, there are probably women who are better athletes than me. They’re just not a lot of them. And it’s not because I’m a great athlete. It’s because I have an X and a Y chromosome. I’m physically bigger, my muscles are designed differently, and I have different hormones, and on and on. This is true of men in general. So is the way men generally tend to see things — more objectively, more Manichean, with less emotion and less concern for feelings than females. But there are some men who are as bitchy and catty as women tend to be. Men and women are jerks in different ways. That’s a generalization. You know who uses generalizations? People who aren’t stupid.

Some of the manifestations of the current crisis in womanhood are amusing. For instance, there’s the social media meme of women demanding that their potential mate must be over 6 feet making six figures with a six-pack. Good luck with that, ladies; statistics are another weapon of the patriarchy. And then there was the social media uproar over some lady who wouldn’t allow her daughter to have Oreos and demanded that the other kindergarten moms not let their kids have Oreos in their school lunches either because it would make her deprived kid sad. This debate went on forever — for some reason, women can’t be brief when they’re angry and have to go on and on endlessly, another uniquely female thing. Men just punch each other. It finally got to the point where the mom decided she was going to search kids’ lunchboxes for the forbidden foods. What is wrong with these people? What would ever possess you to demand that other people conform to your bizarre and freakish lunch Luddite demands? And where would you imagine you derive the authority to go inspect other people’s kids’ packages to ensure they were conforming with your commands? It’s bizarre.

And sometimes it’s horrifying. Right now, Lindsay Clancy is on trial for murdering her three little children. She and her creepy coterie of pink-clad supporters — almost all salty-looking white women with a smattering of hen-pecked femboy allies — blame postpartum depression, her husband, and the patriarchy. The rest of us — almost all men and many morally literate women — blame the woman who strangled her little children to death after plotting to send her husband away so he wouldn’t be there to stop her. 

By the way, a little law about murder and insanity: the common law test is called the M’Naghten Rule, which basically says that if you know what you’re doing is wrong, you’re not insane. Well, she knew it was wrong to kill her kids because she knew her husband would stop her, so she sent him away. She’s not insane. She’s a murderer, and in a civilized society, she’d hang. But they want to create a woman exception, and who cares if some kids die?

This is sick.

The feminist ideology behind this prioritizes the feelings of women over what God and nature (to the extent they differ) make their proper priority, their kids. From pro-birth abortion to the post-birth version, this grotesque perspective excuses the killing of inconvenient kids as long as the executioner is a gal with a sad story. They’ve collected a million bucks for her and post sympathetic videos with their own kids.

Again, this is sick.

Women are broken — and save your distinctly female distraction maneuver about how men are broken because we’re talking about females now — and women need to fix themselves. Men can’t do it. We’re not capable of doing it, and the women wouldn’t listen to us anyway. It’s going to be up to women to get their collective heads on straight. As men, we should support the women who know what’s what. There are a lot of them. But when females create the problem — and it isn’t the patriarchy that is out there excusing butchering those children — females have to fix it. If you want to fight misogyny, don’t be the kind of people who should be disliked and disrespected. Certainly, don’t date them.

People who plunder little kids’ lunch bags and who rationalize child murder should be disliked and disrespected. It’s our moral obligation to stand against moral bankruptcy.

But there’s a practical cost to holding the moral high ground. It may cost us votes. Even some conservative women warn us that we should not say this stuff because it’s going to offend women, and if it offends women, we Republicans are going to do to young women what Democrats have done to young men. And what Democrats have done to young men is a disaster for their party. The Democrats have driven real men away. The only men they like are ones who have had their genitals sliced off so that they can satisfy their Munchausen mommies’ delusions about having a very special child who’s transgender. This mutilation fetish is akin to the murder fetish. The whole transgender thing is primarily driven by women, specifically dysfunctional and largely affluent white mommies who yearn to have interesting lives and don’t care if they carve up their kids to do it. And only women can fix this, because it's women who allow it. If women collectively rose up and said to fake men, “Hell no, you’re not coming in our locker room or dominating our track and field events,” the whole trans idiocy would end overnight.

It’s not an obnoxious attack on women in general to point out that a lot of women are being stupid and morally bankrupt and that they should stop being stupid and morally bankrupt. It’s an observation that a problem is manifesting in a unique way in the female community. And it’s not going to drive young women out of the Republican Party because the young women who buy into this nonsense are already out of the Republican Party. If the price of admission for getting them back is for us to agree with bizarre nanny-state confection impulses and giving them a free pass for offing their children, well then count us out. I don’t want to be in a party dominated by the kind of people who feel they can tell other people not to put Ding Dongs in their kids’ lunches, and I don’t want to be in a party dominated by the kind of people who come up with excuses for strangling little kids.

I don’t want to be a Democrat, and we normals will not allow our party to morph into the Democrat Party II in order to win over people who are naturally Democrats. Nor would shedding our values work. You never win over people over the long run by sucking up to them and tossing away your values for short-term gain. You just make yourself as terrible as your opponents.

So, women, step up your game against those women who would rummage through your kids’ lunchboxes seeking sweets and who want to normalize mutilating and killing children to make them feel better about themselves. We men can’t do it for you, but we’re ready to back you up. And if it costs us votes, so be it.
