Lies of the Patriarchy
I want to talk about a big lie that is told to women. In the USA we are told we can defend ourselves, we are told that shooting an intruder is ok. Even lethal force is recommended in some cases by police. We are told we can use any weakness to our advantage or play to our strengths to defend ourselves. This is all ok for men to do every day but not women. Or at least not for a woman wishing to defend against a male. A man would tell another man he was fine to shoot an intruder but if a woman tells a woman to kick a mans testicles that is somehow morally wrong. We are told a mans testicle should not be struck or attacked. This is repeated to a woman as she grows up and many women as reluctant to strike a mans testicles as a result. How is this right? The truth is that if a woman is willing to attack the testicles then she can level the playing field against a male. But we are told not to do this and that is the lie. Men know of this and simply want to keep an advantage over men. ...
