WOMAN IS not THE NEW MAN

in Sweden, men are taking over!

destroyed and humiliated by years, decades, almost centuryes of female abuse, the swedish males themselves filed the first complaint for sexual discrimination. hipp hipp hoorray!

we already argued that emancipation has been the most myopic strategic disaster in women’s history, but maybe time are changing.

Hold on, Mr. Man!

men during summertime

men during summertime are a totally different business from men in autumn, winter or spring. a small vademecum follows. 

two disclaimers should apply. Gentlemen, don t date a blogger: sooner or later you are going to end up on the web. Ladies, do not trust summer loves- they burn!

1) THE FADER: the Fader looks like a normal guy. he dresses like the average and has decent table manners. capable of making pleasant conversation, usually he has a rather interesting job and owns interesting assets (car, flat, home theather). you may recognize him because he is rather straightforward and passionate in his coutrship. he ll make you feel wonderful in no time. fair enough, because indeed he is on a tight schedule: the Fader literally disappears in the space of 2 weeks. fear of commitment? perveted plan of a dangerous mind? we are not given to know the answer. the only advantage is that he is not likely to drag you to the bedroom (idiot!)- maybe in the bottom of his heart he believes in true love. 

How to deal with the Fader: fade yourself first! 

2) THE INSECURE: the Insecure, needless to say, does not know what he wants. usually tall and skinny, he has some charme, which mostly consists in not knowing he has some (and partly, in actually not having any). he is usually lead to engage in some sort of remotely sentimental interaction by the female part (ah, the red cross instinct). this interaction would obviously make a 8 year old laughs his ass off, consisting in long walks along the shore, at a security distance of 50-70 cm, or long sessions of phone conversation. for some reasons, females associate these activities with the belief that the other is very sentimental and profound, and that it is just a matter of time before he would discover his true and passionate nature. this situation may result in three outcomes: a) after years, the girl is worne out by the waiting, and switches to pure hate towards the guy, who -metaphysically speaking- dies out of our story. b) the guy discovers his true and passionate nature. but with another woman. c) this situation never ends, without preventing the girl to date other guys. 

How to deal with the Insecure: rape him and run!

3) THE FOREIGNER: great classic of the sumertime, the Foreigner is the random variable in this analysis. since usually the communication is very limited and almost totally misinterpreted, what the Foreigner is, is what the girl wants him to be. therefore, a Bastard. 

How to deal with the Foreigner: just run!

ouch! have i landed in the wrong country?

SWEDISH WOMEN TO OVERTAKE “STUPID” MEN

Swedish men are less intelligent, lonelier and fatter than their female counterparts, a new study claims. Boys have fallen way behind in school, and there are more women than men studying some traditionally male university subjects.

“In twenty years men’s dominance will be broken and women will have more power in society. There will be more female CEO’s and the wage gap will favour women,” researcher Ingemar Gens told magazine Att:ention. Experts have also observed that smart women are struggling to find common ground with members of the opposite sex.  “There will soon be a large collective of uneducated, low-paid men who don’t have any friends, and are unmarried and alone – as well as uninteresting for women looking for a relationship.” “This is already happening, but the problem is beginning to accelerate. This is a huge danger for men,” said Gens. Tomas Blideman from the Fryshuset youth foundation in Stockholm works with teenage boys and tries to get them to look beyond the typical behaviours of their peers. “A lot of being a boy is about putting up a front. And it follows you all through your life. First it’s school, then the workplace and so on.” “Being a boy means always holding your own. This creates an insecurity and incredible expectations. Studying is not one of them,” said Blideman. While reaching consensus about a sort of ongoing male crisis, not all those Attt:ention spoke to were certain that this would eventually lead to women assuming greater control. “The power of the patriarchy is so great that education and similar factors are not so important. “Other things play a bigger role, such as short-cuts and networks for example,” said Malena Rydell, managing editor of feminist magazine Bang.

it feels..

 

like when you grab a muffin expecting blueberries and it turns out to be feta and black olives. not necessarily bad, but weird.

 

how to sample men

in four easy steps:

1) talk to him

2) dance with him

3) kiss him

4) sleep on him*

* figuratively, to make your mind up, take a good night of rest before going any further

this rule has benefited from discussion with KM, EM, MP, CM

question to you:

do you think men are discriminated against women?

would you agree that a man is socially forced in a inverse-chauvinistic position when he is expected to pay dinners on a date (regardless of his income)?
