If you are a non-feminist man or woman, feminism has stolen plenty of
things from you. Among these are non-feminist life, non-feminist
liberty, and the non-feminist pursuit of non-feminist happiness. Why,
they will even steal your non-feminist soul if you let them get
away with it!
Please understand that you owe feminism no answers. That is a deep
concept, probably deeper than you realize. It is your inalienable right
under any condition to say "I am not a feminist", then turn around and
walk away. And it is their eternal responsibility to say "okay", and leave
you the hell alone to Go Your Own Way in peace. Eternally.
All right, so you are a non-feminist man or woman, and that is good. However, you are something more
important than that: you are an INDIVIDUAL. Yes, a non-feminist
individual, but an individual first and
foremost, a unique and precious snowflake unlike any other. Yes, I said
it.
My friend, if you are not a feminist, then in relation to feminism you
ARE a special snowflake! They had better get that in their
head. They had better get with the program and accept that reality with
a good grace.
The liberty of the non-feminist sector is FREE. And why? Because it's YOURS.
One more time: the liberty of the non-feminist sector is free because
it's yours. It's stolen property, and you have only to claim it. You have only to stand up and declare "I am not a feminist". Say this
loudly if you wish, but if loud is not your style that's okay, say it
quietly. The important thing is to say it. Just say it. Say it in a
number of ways, explicitly or implicitly, as your style dictates. And
don't just say it to yourself: say it so that others can hear it, or see
it, or know it. If they too are not feminist, it will make them know
that they are not alone.
And if they are feminist? Well all right, they too, in a different way,
will know that they are not alone. They will know that WE are with them
always, everywhere, and that they needn't ever languish for want of our
fine company. They will know that they are surrounded - and what a
comfortable, supportive feeling this will be for them. . . yes?
It will inspire them to their best behavior, will it not? As for us, it will instruct us
in the wise maxim to keep our friends close and other people closer.
When they know that they are surrounded, when they know that they are
not the only game in town and not the only sentient life form on the
planet, it will make them think twice about pulling any funny business
with you or your friends. They will slowly back off, and as they do, you
and your friends will expand, and stretch, and breathe - occupying
social space more freely, and more freely voicing what is in your non-feminist
minds.
More and more, you will do this, and the feminist people will give you no grief for it. Not if they are wise.
The post-feminist world will be a kind of post-colonial world, once the
colonizing aggressor (feminism) has been expelled. The revolution will
progress by stages, as more and more people awaken to the enormity of
what feminism has done, and start getting frank about it.
When you claim the liberty of the non-feminist sector (your stolen
property!), you repudiate ANY form of feminist governance over your life
- moral, spiritual, psychological, existential, intellectual, you name
it!
By claiming your non-feminist liberty, you claim your non-feminist
identity. Those claims are indistinguishable, and by those claims you
make known to the world that feminism does not define you. Granted,
feminists can and will attempt to define you, but unfortunately for them
they lack the moral legitimacy to do this. Feminism's moral license to
govern or define anything at all (let alone YOU) has been revoked - or
more accurately, declared to have been invalid all along.
Feminism's purported legitimacy was never put to a plesbiscite. Feminism arrived in our world and lodged itself into place with never so much as a "by-your-leave". It was
and is built upon sheer presumption. Nothing better than
presumption - followed by a never-ending river of lies which (like any
river) grows bigger the further downstream it travels.
The worst of all feminist presumptions, is that feminist
theorization about the world trumps every other analysis. Feminist
theorization - regarding patriarchy, rape culture, male privilege, male
violence, gender roles and the human condition in general - has become the default paradigm for the greater cultural discourse, with
institutional support and legal backing.
Feminism has usurped, by presumption, the power to morally adjudicate nearly every aspect of the
the human situation. Yet never at any point did
feminism and its ideologues recieve any Divine mandate for this. They simply took it. It wasn't theirs to take, but that didn't stop them. They
screamed, they bullied, they slandered, they spread lies. Then they came
back and did it again. They have done this for years and believe me,
they will never stop. Ever. Not unless a non-feminist force intervenes to make them stop.
So, to morally adjudicate the human situation means to subject ALL moral
phenomena to the critical apparatus of a particular ideology. In this
case, we are talking about the critical apparatus of feminist ideology
in particular.
The feminists seem to think that we non-feminist men and women are
morally incompetent to adjudicate matters for ourselves, in a
non-feminist way. They want to be moral dictators, in charge of
everybody's rights and wrongs, and they unceasingly act like it. It's
just another way to make their power hegemonic, and put
themselves in control of the greater cultural discourse.
We must intervene and put a stop to that. The feminists are free to view
the world through their own ideological lens - after all, it's their
brain, their choice. But if they want to put the power of the state
behind this and make their view the foundation of law and public policy,
then we will rudely tell them where to get off. In fact we are doing that already, so let's build the momentum, okay?
Here's a final thought which I don't want to omit. Feminism, in common
with the authoritarian Left, makes heavy use of collective guilt (or
"guilt by association") as a moral bullying instrument. Well here's the
good news: when you claim the liberty of the non-feminist sector, you
liberate yourself, by implication, from guilt by association.
Any time a feminist postulates a group or category, and tries to shove
you into it in order to implicate you in a pattern of collective guilt,
said feminist has committed an act of FEMINIST AGGRESSION. As a
non-feminist man or woman you are an individual, and can only be judged
as an individual -- according to a non-feminist system of moral
adjudication.
Think for a minute: "Lack of feminism" is not a group, not a movement,
not an ideology. In principle, lack of feminism is nothing more than
"the world minus feminism", and among other things that means the world
minus all forms of feminist moral adjudication.
Again: the world minus all forms of feminist moral adjudication.
Let that sink in.
The non-feminist sector is nothing less that a cross-section of human
nature. It is a full moral spectrum. A "non-feminist" can be almost any
kind of person imaginable. Some non-feminists are wonderful people,
other non-feminists are terrible people. What matters is that they are
individuals.
Or more to the point, non-feminist individuals.
And whatever transgressions non-feminist men or women might commit, they
commit them as individuals. Their crimes will be adjudicated
individually, in a non-feminist way, independently of feminist moral
authority, feminist oversight, or feminist theorization of any kind.
The non-feminist sector, as a cultural space, must become self-aware and
must assert the power to TALK BACK to feminism on non-feminist terms.
Under this system, all feminist claims and theories, starting with the
definition of feminism itself, are radically open to question. ALL of them - bar none.
Non-feminist alterity and non-feminist autonomy shall become the order of the day in every domain , with feminism thrown permanently on the defensive. Non-feminist analysis shall be a guiding
force, along with a non-feminist culture of critique and a non-feminist
intellectual audit of every last thing pertaining to feminism, leading
toward an ultimate deconstruction of the entire feminist worldview.
Friends, claim the liberty of the non-feminist sector. Do it now. Do it today. What are you waiting for?
Claim the liberty of the non-feminist sector. Take back your stolen property.
It's free. . because it's yours.
