Feminists: getting human nature wrong

From the article at the Union Leader (reformatted, emphasis mine):

Women go topless to send message of equality at Hampton Beach

To this ordinary schlub, it just seems that the feminist movement has lost its mind over the rather silly idea that parts of the female body can just be “declared” to be asexual just because they say to.  Sorry ladies, but it just doesn’t work that way.  Saying it:

…“We’re trying to desexualize the female breast and equalize it to the male breast,” said Heidi Lilley, 54, of Gilford, who helped get the word out about the event with Kia Sinclair, 23, of Danbury.

Right on the face of it, desexualizing the female breast just is not going to happen.  You see, ladies, while most females are not visually oriented when it comes to being turned on, men are.  Hardwired, it is. The Chippendale dancers aside (and the salacious innuendoes one sometimes hears on TV), when compared to the visual acuity of men in this area, women are a flash in the pan.  Evolution has made us this way and no amount of feminist ideology, silly suppositions, and “say it, be it” nonsense is gong to change it.

One will NEVER be the equivalent to the other – it can’t be unless they only wish to continue and “androgyny-ization”of Society.  And look around – that ain’t happening.  We are sexual beings – not just walking clumps of tissue.  All one has to do is look at the picture on the piece showing that while these misguided women thought they were “taking one for the cause”, men were “taking one with cameras”.  One can “civilize” such behavior on the part of men, but it will be a veneer.

And remember, it is a two way street – if you want civilized behavior from men, you also must act in a civil manner as well.  You don’t get to rewrite customs, traditions, and human nature unilaterally for that would be a double standard.  This is not “acquiring equality” (even if it is being demanded) – this is just another attempt to further the idea that there is no difference between men and women.

Unless that is what you want in the first place. Which is rather inane in the first (and last) place.

…“We’re really just trying to normalize the breast and make people aware,” she said.

Well, batting .500 in baseball makes you a millionaire but here, there is not much needed to make people “aware” – the guys staring at you were quite aware of what you were doing – plainly said, giving them a show for free.  Just because you say “awareness!” doesn’t mean that others are listening even if they are looking.

While visiting the beach Sunday morning, Kathy Walker of Gardner, Mass., said she was offended by the event.  “I feel violated enough with Playboy,” said Walker, 65.

And I would agree with her. I’ll be honest, if I came upon such scene, out of respect for my wife, I would turn away.  Sure, some would say “I may be married but I’m not dead” but that does, in transcendental fashion, violate my promise, my vows, to her.    And yes, I’ll say it, while a nude body can be art, parading around suchly for a political reason is not.  Regardless what you think or say and I don’t care if I’m politically correct.  But of course, there are always those that take it to the max and decide that THEIR purpose outweighs anyone else’s purpose for being at a location and being forced to be part of a political demonstration:

Spectator Travis Walsh, 20, of Chelmsford, Mass., who was watching with friends, said those who didn’t like the event could just leave.

I can summarize this easily: selfishness.  This is someone who definitely believes that the only worldview is theirs and leave that battlespace to them alone.  Have an opposing viewpoint of a public good?  Leave.  Just leave – you don’t deserve it with such an outmoded view of human sexuality.  No better, in my opinion, that those SJWs that hounded Brendan Eich out of his job at Mozilla simply because he contribute to a group that was pro-Traditional marriage.  But that is who they are – destruction of either you or in what you might enjoy kept up by your tax monies.

This is SJWs deciding to use a Political Correctness issue to change society from “outmoded norms” BECAUSE!.   Another name for this?  Bullies.  They take advantage of most peoples’ innate sense of manners  and not wanting to make waves in protest.

And I’ll clue this next one in:

“I am a little bit more heightened with people looking at me. Are you a supporter? Are you judging me? But I would still feel the same way if I was just in my bikini top,” said Carr, of Fremont.

Yes, you can be sure that there were those there judging you.  And found you wanting.  And you knew that, else why ask that question? And there is nothing wrong in being judged by others either.  You do things and youse takes yer chances.

But in this case, and most importantly, we are seeing yet another societal norm, that of keeping private parts private, being under attack.  Tradition and societal mores grew up over many generations.  Bad ones get thrown out and the ones that help to sustain an orderly society stay.  However, many of those once judged to be good have been reversed over the last 50 years.  Like them or not, ask yourself this: how may bricks can be removed from the “wall” that is Society before it falls?

And if so, why is it that we keep telling kids that they should not let anyone touch their private parts?

Or is that the entire purpose?

She said she received no negative comments from the people staring at her. They were either positive or kept quiet, she said, adding that her goal was to “make it more comfortable for women to breastfeed.”

Sorry, this makes no sense.  TMEW breastfed both of our boys in public – quietly, discretely, and with a shawl over her shoulder.  Comfortable for either the Eldest or Youngest at the time, and comfortable for her for achieving a goal modestly.  Something, that it seems, has been one of those bricks that has been pulled out of that wall of which I spoke.  It seems that these SJWs feel it is THEIR Right to shove THEIR political purpose into everyone else’s face and then call anyone that disagrees with them hateful, misogynist Neanderthals.

In terms of the male and female chests, she said, “Anatomically we’re all exactly the same. I can feed my child, that’s the only difference. There’s no difference at all, it’s just the societal thing.”

And with that difference, there IS a difference in anatomy, spoiling her argument.  With a degree in biology, I feel fairly secure in saying that I’m on secure ground anatomically and physiologically; this person is absolutely wrong.  A man’s body is not a female one.  A woman’s body is not a manly one.

And this is not the “social construct” you want everyone to believe.

Carr’s husband said he felt strongly that women should have the same freedom as a man when it comes to removing a shirt. “It may seem minuscule to people, but it’s a basic human right. We clearly don’t have a problem with male toplessness and we shouldn’t have a problem with female toplessness.”

Ah yes, just like that nitwit in the New York Time (or was it the New Yorker) that said he was just fine with his wife out having affairs (or she’d be mad at him) while he was a house husband – a beta male who outed himself.  Actually what he was, self-admittedly, a self-loathing full time babysitter with no benefits.  While he may not think so, this one certainly seems to be admitting to be “such a feminist, too”.

And that, too, is a result of the feminization of America.  Just the way these feminists want it.

Manly men who act manly are just troglodytes in their eyes (or is the kind of man to have that affair with).
