Today
from my bank of misandry:
Traits
that make kings legendary are traits that are common among women (and taken for
granted) to the point of eyeroll. The only reason kings get praised for
generosity, alliance-building, feasts, caring for people, becoming a patron of
the arts etc is because it's rare - among men. These traits are only recognized
for their benefit when someone with a penis displays them. Women's
contributions, of course, are owed to everyone by virtue of her vagina. Not
traits recognized and cultivated, to which credit of character must be given.
And
yes, I know, not all men. Spare me the defensiveness and self congratulations
for being an exception. Do the damn work of recognizing a system of double
standards and the women in your life who go uncredited for things they do that
benefit you. Don't think they don't talk amongst themselves and don't know
what's what. Which brings me to patience and forgiveness, other traits women
cultivate that benefit wannabe-kings without recognition, boosting others at
the expense of their own success.
And
points for anyone reading this who know I don't actually hate men, just systems
of inequality and injustice. I'm not here to write a thesis for you to get the
simple idea that people should be treated fairly.
Yes, most men are short-sighted, profit-driven, immediate gratification oriented plebeians.
