Reversed SexismSexism is still very much alive and well, and now I am not about to go on some feminist rant, but rather I am talking about sexism against men.
Yes, that is what I said. Don't believe me? Well then I shall explain.
It seems to me that it has become perfectly cool and acceptable to degrade men, but if you say anything in condemnation of women, well that is just a travesty.
I wrote this poem primarily just to amuse myself, just something I rattled off which I posted on this poetry forum I belong to, and it was written about a particular type of woman.
It was a poem written about the type of women who literally dress like prostitutes and wearing skirts that look like they should be belts, with their asses barely covered, and thongs showing, and their boobs scarcely covered and hanging out in the open. Women who dress with their flesh on blatant display but then act offended when they receive the kind of attention they present themselves as wanting.
The poem was written from a male point of view, and was sympathetic toward the pale about these kind of women, and how if they go out of the house looking like that, then the guys are not to blame for looking.
Well I was completely crucified and made out to look like this horrible person, and a few people suggested that I was condoning rape, which I was not at all.
Just because I wrote a negative poem about skanky women I was some how this terrible person. It was all quite ridiculous, and I posted it as humor, but everyone took it so bloody literally and seriously.
Though I can all but guarantee you if I wrote the exact same poem but slanted it to indicate men instead of women, everyone would have loved it and applauded me.
