Subject: A Day in the life
Date: Sat, Oct 16, 1999

I found your story about a day in the life of feminism to be both amusing and disturbing.... both because of the truth of it all.

At Brown University I was assaulted by feminism since my first day, told that I was constantly oppressing women by everything I did...I was quiet. I watched silently as an angry mob drove a young man out of the school for having sex with someone who regretted it later and called it rape. Single-sided reporting in the campus newspaper and he never really had the chance to tell his story... I've had the false statistics thrown in my face and been attacked by many women, emotionally and physically.

In fact, I'm writing because your writing struck a chord.... too many experiences that see right out of my own life.

Feminism is the female "sell-out" to the illusory acknowledgement that Masculine energy is the way to equality. The way to equality is developing that which is most honorable to the power of the Feminine.

We do not need two genders that are warped to the Masculine on this Masculine planet.

Why attack? To gain "respect" from what men think is the way to power? Feminism will ultimately lose this game, as it will boil down to a ring match. This is coming close to reality, by the way. No matter how strong women get, men will be physically more powerful. Big fucking deal, right? Right. So why get caught up in their stupid human tricks. Develope that which is Feminine. The "soft" overcomes the "hard" every day of the week.

So Feminism is a dying artform, not because women have lost, but because as women, you will stay one step ahead of the game. Do not get sucked into the realm of tit for tat with belligerent men. It is disgusting and pathetic. Not that being a man is all bad, mind you....

I didn't think this message made any sense at all at first but it does allude to some profound ideas. There is method to the stream of consciousness. Give it a second read.
