The U.S. Marines recently canceled their Combat Endurance Test for infantry soldiers because many women aren’t strong enough to pass it. 773In fact, only one female Marine in history has successfully completed the course, so instead of appearing “sexist” and not having any female Marines in the infantry units (the brave ground-based combat force), they scrapped the test altogether!

In 2015 the Colorado Springs police department in Denver suspended the mandatory fitness test after a dozen female officers sued, claiming the tests were “discriminatory” because many of them were just too weak to pass them. The test consisted of two running exercises, and officers had to also do 52 pushups in two minutes, as well as 45 sit-ups within two minutes. 774

Many local residents were shocked because they want police officers to be able to chase down and/or subdue a suspect, and obviously a certain amount of strength is needed in order to do that. But in the name of feminism, the department stopped the test because the women who couldn’t pass it were assigned to desk duty instead of being allowed out in the field, so they sued.

A writer for the Washington Post thinks that women have it so bad in society that we should actually stop putting them in jail “for anything” when they commit crimes. 775She says, “It sounds like a radical idea” but claims, “The argument is actually quite straightforward: There are far fewer women in prison than men to start with — women make up just 7 percent of the prison population. This means that these women are disproportionately affected by a system designed for men.” 776She went on to argue that “there is evidence that prison harms women more than men,” and concluded we should just stop sending them there.

To feminists, its not just men who are the root of all evil in the world, but more specifically it’s the social structure itself, which of course, they say, was carefully constructed by men. One popular feminist website explains, “Patriarchy perpetuates oppressive and limiting gender roles, the gender binary, trans phobia and cissexism, sexual assault, the political and economic subordination of women, and so much more. And it is of the utmost importance that we prioritize dismantling the patriarchy in our intimate lives, as well as in a larger systemic sphere.” 777

Let me translate this liberal nonsense for you. In other words, the Patriarchy is the social structure of society which developed in a way where men tend to be in positions of power and authority, and women tend to be in roles involving nurturing and caring. Kind of like how female animals stay in the den with their newborn young while the males go out and get food to bring back for the family. Males and females of all species have different roles in terms of gathering food and taking care of their young, but feminists aren’t happy with these differences. As you know, they’re never happy about anything.

After a viral video showing a man giving a live interview on the BBC about North Korea’s nuclear threats was hilariously interrupted when his two small children, a toddler followed by a baby in a wheeler, burst into his home office and stole the show, everyone thought it was the funniest thing they’d seen all week and it became an instant meme. Well, everyone except for one woman, who decried that it was the “patriarch in a nutshell,” and declared it was “not funny.” 778

“Basically, the message this video delivers to me is: being a man is playing life on the easy setting,” she said. “It also exposes one reason why there are more men delivering their opinions all over our televisions most days — because women are doing the behind the scenes work needed to make that feasible. True equality will not have been achieved until we see a father desperately clawing at a baby wheeler while a woman talks about the rising threat of nuclear war.” 779

A recent CNN report says, “Guns alone don’t kill people, patriarchy kills people,” and went on to claim “Patriarchy is a social system that defines men as being inherently violent, dominant and controlling while rewarding them with power for being that way. It is no secret, especially these days, that we live in a patriarchal society. Why are we continually surprised when a man takes up arms and commits mass murder?” 780

Actually, statistically boys who grow up in fatherless homes tend to take up arms and commit mass murder. In fact 26 of the 27 deadliest mass shootings were committed by men (or teenage boys) who grew up without a father. 781That’s why in Chicago’s south side (the black community) every weekend during the summer there are dozens of shootings, and Chicago is the murder capitol of America. It’s not “the patriarchy” which is spawning those who commit gun violence, it’s the collapse of the patriarchy.

In his historic analysis of human mating behavior, evolutionary biologist David Buss explained in his book The Evolution of Desire that, “Feminist theory sometimes portrays men as being united with all other men in their common purpose of oppressing women. But the evolution of human mating suggests that this scenario cannot be true, because men and women compete primarily against members of their own sex. Men strive to control resources mainly at the expense of other men. Men deprive other men of their resources, exclude other men from positions of status and power, and derogate other men in order to make them less desirable to women.” 782

He continues, “A startling consequence of sexual strategies, for example, is that men’s dominant control of resources worldwide can be traced, in part, to women’s preference in choosing a mate. These preferences, operating repeatedly over thousands of generations, have led women to favor men who possess status and resources and to disfavor men who lack these assets. Ancestral men who failed to acquire such resources failed to attract women as mates.” 783

What this means is that the primary reason men strive to achieve positions of power and status in society is because women are hardwired to be attracted to those kinds of things. Buss explains, “Women’s preferences for a successful, ambitious, and resourceful mate and men’s competitive mating strategies evolved together. These strategies include risk taking, status striving, derogation of competitors, coalition formation, and an array of individual efforts aimed at besting other men on the dimensions that women desire. The intertwining of these co-evolved mechanisms in men and women created the conditions for men to dominate in the domain of resources.” 784

So the women who complain about men “ruling” the world and dominating positions of power in society don’t understand that men only strive towards those goals in order to impress women! It’s in our DNA. Buss says, “The forces that originally caused the resource inequality between the sexes, namely women’s preference and men’s competitive strategies, are the same forces that contribute to maintaining resource inequality today.” 785

The same feminists who complain about this “social inequality” and about the “wage gap” (which is a long-debunked myth) 786also ignore the fact that men often work dangerous and dirty jobs that expose them to enormous safety risks and health hazards. Not to mention men doing backbreaking manual labor that isn’t just physically exhausting, but over time wears out parts of their bodies. Jobs like roofing, pouring concrete, brick laying, tree trimming, road construction, etc.

Feminists also overlook other facts like men accounting for 92% of workplace deaths because of these dangerous jobs, 787men making up the majority of homeless people, 788they are 76% of homicide victims, 789not to mention 97% of combat deaths are men. 790Feminists claim to want “equality” in the workplace and whine about there not being enough women in certain industries, while ignoring that fact that men are happy to work dirty and dangerous jobs so that women won’t have to.
