Comments on: Project Runaway From Reality http://www.harpyness.com/2009/02/02/project-runaway-from-reality/ As narrated by the most charming and vicious women on the internet Fri, 17 May 2013 21:22:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: HanaMaru http://www.harpyness.com/2009/02/02/project-runaway-from-reality/comment-page-1/#comment-673 HanaMaru Tue, 03 Feb 2009 20:45:11 +0000 http://www.harpyness.com/?p=651#comment-673 Right, reverse sexism=more sexism. I feel like I’m in backwards land when depictions of men’s domestic ineptness are used as counterpoints to allegations of sexism(like yesterdays superbowl ad fracas), when feminists are the ones actually fighting these depictions and expecting more of men!

Even “reverse sexism” harms women.

Like you, it appears to me that she’s identified inequality here, but then veers into some misguided territory.

It drives me up the wall when folks draw conclusions about genes, and the hardwiring thereof, based only on observed behavior. Children observe and learn to mimic their same-sex parent very early. That’s probably what leads her son to go hungry when no one put food in front of him, in contrast to her resourceful daughter.

This stuff, illustrated in many a commercial for toilet cleaner is often harped upon as “reverse sexism!” as if it didn’t benefit men to say that they couldn’t handle what women do. How can women rule the world when we’re taking care of our men and ourselves?

The whole thing was just SO bizarre. It ended up seeming to make the very strange conclusion that women are somehow stupid for LETTING a bunch of idiots take over the world.
