The problem with women these days is that they want to live in a world that is variably sexist. The world as they say it should be needs to cut out the societal separation of the sexes. While on the other hand, the world as they make it shows me that they are not ready for what they’re asking. They want to be equals with men but they want men to do the more “manly” jobs. I support equality and I’ll admit that I enjoy helping women do the more “manly” jobs. But, when I see women who ask for equality and use their sexuality to their advantage it makes my blood boil. I feel like women keep reverting to their “girly” nature and their definition of equality is just a façade with a pretty name.

I have a girl friend, no name, that is in to cars more than most women I’ve met in my life. When I first met her I had a lot of respect for her. I thought highly of how she was putting herself out there and fortifying a female position in the car world that wasn’t strictly sexual. Something extraordinary was the way she dealt with peoples’ surprise that she’s a girl (she talks a lot on online care forums)… and she’s a car junkie! She likes to consider herself “one of the guys”. But all this went away when it came to my slow realization that she’s got no clue about being the role she tries to play. She’s never installed a part on her car. She couldn’t tell you how a car works. She doesn’t know how to manage the money she spends on it. She gets her guy friends to do the work. How typical. As long as she continues like this I don’t see any way she’s going to actually be one of the guys. For now, she’s just a pretty thing to look at and the car world doesn’t mind humoring her façade.

Women complain too much about their position in the world. If women just owned up to what they wanted the world would be a much more equal place. For this, I have a solution. Women need to go through a process of self-examination that excludes boys. Women need to fortify a position for all the sexist actions of men and stick with it, a sort of self-discovery if you will. There should be no more strictly girly girls who consistently rely on men to support them as they exist now. But, even after this it will not be enough to convince boys that women are ready to be equals. Women will have to realize that this is not a war against men that they are trying to win. Instead, women will need to convince men to cooperate in the systematic break down of some of society’s greatest faults and reform some of our most basic societal establishments. Until this cooperation actually happens, I can’t see how women expect men to keep a straight face when they ask for something as simple as equality.
