Being Amber Rhea

Well, dammit, Belledame beat me to it with re-posting this thing, but I’m going to re-re-post it anyway. ‘Cause it’s just that good.

A quick synopsis: So, basically the MRAs (that’s “men’s rights activists” for you fortunate souls who haven’t encountered these curious creatures) have found RenEv’s blog, and set about whining and crying all over her comments. Hey, better her than me, I say, since apparently she actually has the patience (or enough bathtub gin) to deal with them. So this one guy was all moaning about how horrible women are and wah wah wah, and finally RenEv’s fella (aptly calling himself Mr. Evolution) came along with some sense. Hence:

-If a real man wants to have sex and not worry about diseases or babies he cannot count on anyone but himself to take precaution. It’s his dick, he has the responsibility to watch out for it.

-If a man screws up on this and he gets a woman pregnant, unless he is married to her (and even then, actually), unless he is willing to foot the bill for everything, the prenatal care, the delivery, and take custody and raise and provide for that baby himself, he should shut the hell up.

-There is nothing wrong with American/Western woman. Gee, they speak their minds and have jobs and can be competitive. Boo-fucking-hoo. Give me a chick who takes no shit and can bring home some dough and can give me a run or an ass kicking at the pool table to some quiet submissive little domestic ‘who knows her place’ any day of the week. If I wanted a maid, I’d hire one. If I wanted a cook, I’d hire one. If I wanted a hooker, I’d hire one. I want a woman who stimulates my mind and my personality as well as my dick. I am not saying all ‘non-American/Western women are ’submissive little domestics who know their place’, but it sure as hell sounds like the MRA’s are…oh, and Russian Women? I know one woman from Russia. She’s a tattooed SWAT officer who could kick my ass, drink me under the table, looks DAMN fine in uniform and oh yeah, is a heterosexual mother of three and a great cook.

-Women do not ‘deserve it’. A woman dressed sleazy is not openly begging for you to rape her. If she wants to fuck you, she’ll probably tell you. If you are that worked up, find a bathroom and use your hand. If a woman ‘nags’ you, you can ignore her or walk out the door before you get so angry that you have to hit her. If the woman in your life is torturing you so endlessly…leave!

-Any man with kids who thinks his working day is over when he leaves the office is a jackass, especially if his partner is an at home mother. You sit in an air-conditioned cubicle in the adult sector of the world. She is at home all day with energetic, loud, demanding creatures which often times cannot control their own bodily functions, cleaning, cooking, at doing your laundry. If anyone deserves a stiff drink and some quiet time when you get home, it’s her. You deserve that time too, but she gets dibs, brother.

-A real man can carry on a conversation with a woman.

-A real man does not take constant shit from a manipulative female in return for getting laid.

-A real man does not NEED to exert his perceived ‘dominance’. Nor should he want to.

-A real man does not feel he has to demand sex, nor does he have a right do.

-A real man checks himself before he looses his temper.

-A real man is not a doormat.

-A real man realizes he needs his alone time, and that a woman needs her own.

-A real man keeps himself up for a woman, especially if he expects her to do the same.

-A real man respects a woman, especially if he expects her to do the same.

-A real man uses caution when entering any relationship that is going to last more than one night and protection every time, especically on those nights.

-A real man can handle a woman’s criticism, and offer it in return, without being a jackass.

-A real man does not resent a woman for his own mistakes and shortcomings. Nor does he resent her for her talents and accomplishments.

-A real man stands up and takes responsibility, even if a woman won’t.

-A real man does not do something just because that is what all the “cool” (PC, emo, manly, feminist, MRA, progressive, whatever) men are doing.

-A real man does not blame his misfortune on anyone. If his own doing brought it about, he accepts it, if it was the doing of others, he deals with it.

-Real men don’t whine (neither do real women, for that matter).

-Real men are entitled to complain, discuss, or have issues with a situation, however.

-A real man can get burned just as easily as anyone else.

-A real man’s ‘place’ is wherever he is best suited in his partnership to be, be that in the work a day world, or in the home.

-A real man judges women as individuals, not as a class.

-A real man does not let other men speak for him, he does it for himself.

-A real man does not place his lusts over his partner’s rights.

-A real man resorts to physical violence only as a last resort and only overt physical violence in true self defense.
