Women can't do shit.

Feminism is a GOOD thing.
Yeah, this is gonna be one of THOSE blogs. And if you're that kind of guy who looks at the word feminism, rolls his eyes, and kicks off, then go ahead and piss off, bitch. Either you've got a problem with a woman bringing up a subject you aren't comfortable with or you're too ignorant to bother understanding the actual definition of feminism first and buy into the social stereotype that half of it is lesbians, another part is ugly women who just hate men, and gall knows what you think the rest of it is.

Honestly, I've been wanting to do this blog for a while. Not just on stuff like gender equality, but about BEING a teenage drag king. And tonight I finally decided to do it, after watching The Social Network.
The Social Network is a movie based on the book Accidental Billionaires, which tells the story of the creators of facebook, a couple of college kids. I'm going to bypass the whole plot, which you can google at your convenience anyway, and tell you what it was in the movie that inspired me.
The women are treated like pointless shit.
Now, it's a true story. I realize this. I realize it's how they actually acted in real life.
What bothers me, and has bothered me for some time, is that women act that way in those situations because they're expected to. Because society tells them that's how women in those situations act.

For those of you still reading, I will define it for you. Just in case you can't be bothered to go look it up yourself.
fem·i·nism   
[fem-uh-niz-uhm] Show IPA
–noun
1.
the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men.

I will now define feminist.
feminist (ˈfɛmɪnɪst)

— n
1. a person who advocates equal rights for women

These are all as defined by dictionary.com, a very useful internet resource.
I will now provide the definitions of the same words as found on urbandictionary.com, which to my understanding is the most or one of the most popular diction sites of MY generation. Meaning it's used by we young people. You know, those of us most easily influenced by our society's most powerful modes of entertainment: television, movies, music, and, dwindling in strength though it may be, I'll go ahead and tack literature on that list.

1. feminist
someone who believes the radical notion that women are people.

2. feminist
A woman (or man?) who wants equal rights for both sexes. However, in order to truly achieve EQUAL rights, chivalry (paying the bill, leaving the door open, etc...) must be banished from society as well as all those old archaic rules about women. So, to all you feminists who want equal rights, AND special treatment, I say, pick one or the other damn it.

4. Feminism
A movement that supports equal opportunities for men and women and asserts that women are entitled to the same political, social, and intellectual rights as men. As a cultural and literary movement, feminism seeks to challenge historically male-centred representations of women and identify a sovereign tradition of female cultural and literary production.

These are definitions posted by us young people, FOR us young people, AS we young people understand them.
What I WILL say for urbandictionary is that the definitions of feminism rang true, and many of them were actually long--the one see here is the shortest original post(there was another shorter one, but that was cited as being from the Merriam-Webster dictionary.)
However, take care to notice the first post on feminist.
feminist
someone who believes the radical notion that women are people.
Why is this one the first?
I don't know how this works on urbandictionary. Is there a ranking system where definitions get voted up or down? Is it based on first-come-first-served? I don't know. Either way, either it's rated highest because people think it's funny or because that's the first definition anyone thought of to post.

Let me put it simply for you, this is a bad thing.

Now I'm going to tie in what I said earlier about movies, music, and all that jazz affecting us young people.
You know what I see when I watch movies? When I read books? What I hear when I listen to music?
Women can't do shit.
Name your favourite protagonist off the top of your head, or at least your favourite actor who's played your favourite protagonists. Here's mine:

Spider Jerusalem
Batman
Hughe Jackman
Johnny Depp

Now name your favourite bands and or singers. Here's mine:

Tom Waits
30 Seconds to Mars
Smashing Pumpkins
Shinedown

And there's the greats. Maybe I don't love them, maybe I'm another Young Person who doesn't Appreciate Good Music. But here they are:
The Beatles
Elvis Presley
Led Zeppelin
ACDC
The Rolling Stones
That's just some of them. What do they all have in common?
The protagonists are men. The singers and the lead singers of these bands--hell I'm pretty sure everyone in those bands--are all male.
What's the great movies of the year?
Inception. Avatar(visually, the story was shit, but the visuals deserve a mention.) How To Train Your Dragon. The Social Network. TRON: Legacy. To name a few, all of which I've seen, and you know what all these movies have in common?
They are good movies. They have (with the exception of Avatar and Tron) good writing, good characters, and a strong story.
You know what else they have in common?
They are all male leads.

What's the last good movie you watched--the last good movie you watched that had EVERYTHING, compelling, ORIGINAL story, powerful characters, great writing, ideas that you took seriously--that had a female lead GO GO GO YOU HAVE THE NEXT TEN SECONDS--
You can't answer that question in ten seconds can you? Okay, last good movie with a MALE--
Inception.
See how easy that was? Here's why it was so hard before--not because Hollywood doesn't give women those roles. It's not Hollywood's fault. It's YOUR fault. It's the AUDIENCE'S FAULT. Why? Because Hollywood is a mere ATTENTION WHORE. It only GIVES what it KNOWS you will TAKE. What you will devour greedily with your needs for wish-fulfillment, for fantasy-appeal, for sexual objectification, for socially acceptable.

You know what makes me sad? I like fast car movies. I like gangster movies. I like people I can relate to in those movies, or at least seriously admire. And I get them. What I don't get is WOMEN in those movies that I can relate to or seriously admire.
Well, what do you expect? They're MEN'S movies.
Fuck you. They're not MEN'S movies. They aren't boy flicks. They're MY flicks too, because this is MY country too, this is MY society too, and I expect some galldamn RESPECT in the fast-car-movie and gangster-movie industry. Because if I'm going to give you my money, the least you could do is give me something BACK for it.
Well that's just tough luck. You aren't going to get that sort of thing--women are in those movies to look hot and serve as finish line prizes. In those types of movies, you just aren't going to see the hot sexy chick win the race and get to be the badass lead.
That ISN'T what I want.
Wait...what?
I don't want to see the hot slut take the wheel. I don't care about her. I'm not asking for yet ANOTHER form of objectification, if you put what society deems as a "hot chick" in the driver's seat, you're going to get another Transformer's heroine, except she's trying to pull off a lead role.
...Where are you going with this?
Where I'm going is I'm not bashing on men. Yeah, it's a man's world, I'll say that much and you can't deny it. I mean hell, women STILL aren't equal, not even on paper or legally--we STILL don't get equal pay.
I'm bashing on the women.
You take their shit and you swallow it with a smile. You get on your knees, you give him a blowjob, and you tell yourself it's sexy. It's not sexy. It's sexy to HIM. You see them objectify you in a movies, and either you tell your daughter not to watch it or you punch your boyfriend for saying it's hot. You don't ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING. Because YOU DON'T CARE. Because if you EVER had a problem with it, you were called a feminist bitch, or told to "God, loosen up, don't be such a tightass" or were given some such similar instruction in the form of an offhand phrase that was probably mildly offensive. And you TOOK IT. And now you BELIEVE IT'S OKAY.
Men rule the world, but it's because YOU LET THEM. You let the millionaire snuff crack off your ten-pounds-underweight ribcage, you striptease on the coffee table during highschool/college parties, you show your breasts at spring break, you give him head in his car. And you do it now because you think you enjoy it. You did it the first time because That Guy told you you'd enjoy it, or it'd be hot, or because your girl friend told you it would be, and she would know, because she knows what guys want. It's about what guys want. Movies are about what guys want. Music is about what guys want. TV is vastly about what guys want. The internet is vastly about what guys want.
...are you going to get around to the part about what you WANT out of all this?
Yeah. I want a fast-car movie about two women who take care of themselves, watch out for their bros, and have hot guys stripteasing on their cars who will ultimately serve no purpose to the plot other than to be sexy. I want a gangster movies about a group of women who shoot up the bank and go to a bar where they're entertained by hot stripper guys who will never be seen again throughout the rest of the movie. I want a woman dragon rider, I want a woman warrior, I want a woman I CAN TAKE SERIOUSLY. I want a woman EVERYONE CAN TAKE SERIOUSLY.
Everyone remembers the Batman, the Superman, the Spiderman movies. Not because they had great actors. Really, in my opinion, the only superhero movies that have had "great" actors would be the X-men movies(Hughe Jackman) and the Batman movies(Christian Bale). Because people take the MEN seriously.
How many people even KNOW there is a Catwoman movie? Aside from horny comic geeks and the occasional movie enthusiast?
Do you know why that isn't a good movie? The actress isn't too bad. Her male lead isn't too bad. But the story? The character?
THEY WEREN'T TAKEN SERIOUSLY.
They turned catwoman into a rooftop-leaping stripper. Her outfits are ridiculous. They provide absolutely no protection, and they have gaps in vital places--like her CHEST, and her STOMACH. You know, places you'd want to protect MOST in a fight? From things like guns? So yes, the obvious purpose is just to make her look hot.
Excuse me? Why don't I get my superhero men running around shirtless? I get maybe one scene of them per movie topless while they're changing or something. One. One scene. Comic geeks, or anyone who may randomly download Catwoman off the internet(probably on accident)gets most of the movie to eye her out in prostitute getup.
What about the spandex, you may ask. Well, Superman was invulnerable, and besides, you don't really SEE anything in that. Batman ended up in super-reinforced-nylon or something like that with bits of actual armour. Ironman goes without saying. And Spiderman? I don't even know, I think I was nodding off in that part. Or maybe I just didn't care.
And as for the STORY of Catwoman? Well, Batman had to deal with FEAR ITSELF. In Batman Begins of 2005, his archnemesis uses fear to control people, basically. Superman--the traditional Lex Luthor+misc bad guy deal. Spiderman--the Goblin, the Hobgoblin, Sandman, Venom, all supervillains, along with serious personal issues in his life. Ironman had to deal with enemies of his company--the biggest of which turned out to be his closest confidant in the business who ultimately betrayed him.
Catwoman? She had a makeup company trying to kill her. Because the makeup secretly ate faces in like 10% of trials or something and was still going on the market.
FUCKING. MAKEUP. That was Catwoman's antagonist.
You know what most people don't even know? Catwoman's not a hero. First and foremost, she's a thief. She steals stuff, and it's COOL that she gets away with it because SHE GETS AWAY WITH IT DESPITE BATMAN. Yeah. Seeing the movie, you wouldn't even know that she was associated with Batman, would you? Because they turned it into a completely irrelevant CHICK FLICK.

So what do I want?
I'm fucking DRAG KING. I want women heroes who are ACTUALLY HEROES, not just action sluts who clench big guns between their thighs. I want women who take care of themselves, ACTUALLY TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES, then go out to bars and have hot guys dancing on their laps. I want MANLY WOMEN and FEMININE MEN.
I want FUCKING EQUALITY.
And if the market won't provide it, I'll put it in the market my own damn self.
Watch me as I try to change my world. Maybe women CAN'T do shit.
So I guess I'll just have to be something more.
