Feminist Academic Says Modern Feminism is... Turning Men Gay!?
Thank you to Heat Street for introducing us to Dr. Catherine Hakim. Dr. Hakim is a feminist academic who thinks feminism is going to turn men gay. I'll give you a minute...
Yes. While some of us see feminism as easy web content (see Why Modern ‘Feminism’ Sucks, and I’m Not One of Them and Lena Dunham Anything), Dr. Hakim presupposes that men are going to get so fed up dealing with modern feminism, there's really only one option left. Trigger warning. When asked if British men were sex starved...
Probably, most men are, especially over the age of 35. However Englishmen may have developed better methods of coping with it: cold showers, regular beatings with a cane at school or in religious retreats, and of course, the classic solution of homosexuality, where like minds meet and women become redundant. I forecast a rise in openly gay men across Europe, as a result of countries shifting from the historical surplus of women to the new numerical surplus of men throughout the world, according to the World Bank. This is the key downside of no World Wars – too many men! Of course there is the alternative French (or Latin) solution: affairs, treated as an art form, with seduction, courtship, flirting, compliments, and of course lots of wine and elegant outings. This seems a more constructive and creative solution.
So feminism. It's turning some people gay. At least according to this person. Other options are having an affair and "handling your own business." To put it tactfully. But going gay is still a strong possibility. I'm sure there's science behind it somewhere, somehow. Huh, huh "behind it." Folk, these are the jokes. Also, no I'm not going to research the science behind this, becuase I just ate breakfast.
Look, in all seriousness, we've been saying feminists are insufferable harpies since the history of forever. They're shrill, dirty, smelly (self-admitted), man-hating land-dwelling butter whales. Men take one look at these feminists and rather than take a chance on the "lady," they turn to a man. They're going to get more love from a dude than a blubbery hambeast who constantly bitches about the patriarchy. Or her period.
The bottom line, feminists? This is how far some people want to go just to not have to deal with your bullshit anymore. Congratulations.
