Dating in the Age of Intersectional Feminism: Knowing When to Run
Victory Girls Blog ^ | 12/12/17 | Marta Hernandez

Posted on 12/12/2017 12:59:38 PM PST by x1stcav

Imagine you’re a single guy. You meet a woman who appears to be sane and nice. She’s not sporting the signature rainbow hair, “statement” glasses, and hallmark sour, judgmental scowl that seems to be endemic to crazy third-wave feminists (but I repeat myself) today, and you decide to meet for a first date.

You gallantly hold the door open for her, and pull out her chair, because, you know, respect.

She twists her lips into an acerbic scowl, but says nothing. You figure maybe she got a splinter from the chair, or maybe she has indigestion or something, so you sit across from her and begin to chat. After all, that’s what first dates are about, right? Getting to know one another.

You: So tell me what you’re looking for in a guy.

Her: You’re assuming I date men exclusively. That’s quite the assumption to make. I’m gender fluid, and I do not discriminate based on the gender of my prospective mates.

You (nonplussed): Uh… I apologize. I didn’t mean to assume anything. I just meant to ask what kind of people you’re attracted to.

This is how I would respond: Are you so self-hating and insecure as a lesbian that you have to make sure that every social norm and construct must meet your warped and prejudiced (yes prejudiced) and extremely hateful world-view? And oh, by the way, Palestinians will throw you off buildings, not Israelis. Picking the wrong team there, girlfriend.

But who am I to talk? I once got up from a date at the appetizers because he told me he was supporting Jesse Jackson for President.

Intersectional implies the middle part of a large multi sectional sofa that men may sit on for relaxation while watching sports on TV.

How about “Does that mean you are paying for the meal?”

You gotta know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em,

know when to walk away, and when to run..........

Different context, but wise advice when it comes to these women.

“Glad I am not in college now and have to deal with this pc nonsense.”

#metoo...(wink!)

My college days were 1973-77 and a favorite activity of those days would have had most of the males run out of there before Homecoming. Going to the dorm dining hall relatively early allowed time to linger in the lobby near the female dorm to observe the parade and evaluate the possibilities. I think the activity was mutually satisfying for all parties. Today’s PC wave would label it so that all the males would be up on some sort of violation that would lead to expulsion. All for being normal males who appreciate the feminine form...

After the first response I’d say, “this will not work. I gotta go.” A younger, more combative and less mature me would have said, “Well, then, how about a roll in the hay tonight and we can each go our separate way - ‘cuz there’s no way this will go any farther than that.”

There seems to be this weird thing going on in society these days. It makes the assumption that girls/women hold all the value and that men need to grovel and beg for interest or attention from women.

I just don’t understand this, although I do have a theory about this, but it involves pornography and boys/men who have debased themselves with it and thus created these insatiable urges within them that effectively strips them of their intrinsic sense of self confidence. It further renders them desperate, burning desire for sexual satisfaction and thereby view women as a means of satisfying themselves erotically. Men have surrendered their sense of self worth in exchange for inflaming their lusts through pornography, thereby tilting the balance on behalf of women.

Many women have unknowingly exploited this by dressing ever more provocatively. By dressing in such an explicit manner (low-cut, skin tight) clothing they understand that this has the effect of luring the weak-willed who will now do almost anything.

The bottom line seems to be that women have become extraordinarily successful at tipping the power points in our society. Women long for the attention of men, men uncontrollably burn in lust, and if a woman determines that somehow she has garnered attention she decides she doesn’t want, then — boom, harassment. Again, women don’t seem to have any issue with leveraging their female prowess to obtain or achieve things they desire, but if they change their mind, or decide it’s not the attention they hoped for then they can easily endeavor to utterly ruin a man.

I guess this rambling is hopeful that men will seek to restore their self control. Any women who would talk to me in the way the woman in this example does would NOT get some polite response that sought to comfort her, she would see me excuse myself and walk away. You don’t get to talk to me in such a disrespectful, selfish manner and expect that I am going to sit there and entertain any ide of further placating or entertain you.

Slightly OT, but my divorce was final just recently and the idea of dating in this environment scares me crapless.
