One of the biggest problems I came across
in the field of gender rights in engineering was women who thought that,
because they felt they could cope
with the machismo and abuse of the predominantly male environment in
engineering, everything was "fine", and there was no need at all for
actions promoting gender equality.
Those female idiots were the ones in greatest need of such action, just as
one of the biggest needs facing feminists in the 60s and 70s was consciousness
raising.
Appallingly, that need continues - I've
just had to point out to a senior female engineer that she should be using
draftsperson for all people doing drawing work, which was triggered by her
using draftsMAN for a female doing engineering drawings.
What an … well, idiot.
And it continues elsewhere - especially in
relationships.
One of the greatest despairs I felt when
growing up (in a small country town in Queensland)
was girls (they don't deserve to be called "young women") planning ways to, in effect, bludge off whatever husband
they could trap - and using sex as a
weapon was part of it.
Incredibly, that attitude still seems to
continue to this day ...
Nearly a decade ago, I knew someone who was
planning on having a baby PROVIDED she
could find a male who would stay largely out of her life, play a role as a
parent, and fork over massive amounts of money. As it turned out, she - very
fortunately - chose not to go down that path (for non-financial reasons). Even
more amazingly, a few years later a male friend of mine actually willingly took
on largely such a role.
What people will do for
"immortality" ... (joke, Joyce)
More importantly, there are still many
women who plan on having a breadwinner going and earning the joint income
whilst they stay at home, or do a small, token business at home.
That is unacceptable.
Until all women are actively planning on financially standing
on their own two feet, those women who aren’t will be, in effect, immature as human beings. Until all
– or at least most, which is a point
which are approaching, if not already at - women are actively planning on
being mature, self reliant, confident, capable adults, there is no realistic
hope of ending the stereotypes and inequality in the house, where women still
do most of the unpaid work, let alone more broadly in society.
As Jane
Elliott, the famous inventor of the renowned “brown eyes-blue eyes”
training method, said: "Females, get
over 'cute'. Get competent. Get trained. Get capable. Get over 'cute'. And
those of you who are called Patty and Debby and Suzy, get over that. Because we
use those names to infantilise females – we keep females in their 'little girl'
state by the names we use for them. Get over it. If you want to be taken
seriously, get serious."
Women must stop being willing and
active accomplices in our subjugation - for the sake of ALL women, of men, and of society as a whole.
Contrary to the assertions of female Quislings,
there is nothing caring or feminine about such immature behaviour
as perpetuating stereotypes.
I apologise for publishing these posts
twice, but Blogger keeps changing my formatting. I can either publish it and
then correct it, or save and close the post and correct it when I reopen it,
but that leaves an extra copy in my "drafts" folder ...

I started this blog to cover karmic regression-rescue
(see here and here), and it grew ... See here for my group mind project, here and here for my "Pagans for Peace" project (and join me
for a few minutes at some time between 8 and 11 PM on Sunday, wherever you are,
to meditate-clear for peace), and here
for my bindrune kit-bag. I also strongly recommend
learning how to flame, ground
and shield, do alternate
nostril breathing, work
with colour, and see also here and be
flexible.
May the best in me, my Higher Self,
and those of the Clear Light who assist me,
help me to keep myself grounded, centred and shielded,
to be Balanced and a Fulcrum of Balance,
a centre of Balanced Positivity and Spiritual Maturity,
with my aura continuously cleansed, cleared and closed,
repelling all negative or unwanted energies,
whilst allowing positive, balancing and healing energies in and through.
The real dividing line is not between
Christianity and Islam, Sunni and Shia, East and West. It is between people who
believe in coexistence, and those who don’t.
- All of the above - and this blog - could be wrong, or subject to context, perspective, or state of spiritual evolution ...
