Louise Palanker: Why Are Boys Ignorant About Feminism, the Need to Text, Sister Fights

Question fromChloe S.

Dear Weezy. So I just need to rant to somebody but all my friends live their lives for boys and would change who they are in a second just to get a boys attention! >_< I posted a photo on Instagram about feminism and it got half as many likes as one of my group pics or pictures of my pets or even a freaking SELFIE!!!! The thing is all the people who liked it were girls!!! And I know a lot of boys in my grade follow me and def. saw that pic. But chose not to like it because of the topic!!!

Why are so many boys so effing ignorant!!!??? Sometimes boys (even 50-something male teachers!) make sexiest comments in class and it annoys the heck out of me!!!!! Ugh. Doesnt it just bother you that people dont see how much of a problem inequality is between genders is??!?

Weezy

I greatly admire your idealism and I thinkyou are a person who will go far and achieve muchwith her life. Yes, it bothers me, but I have gained a certain amount of either understanding or complacency regarding this issue. You can decide which after hearing me out.

I accept and understand that the genders are different. I dont believe that complete equality is attainable, necessary or realistic.

Is there equality between dogs and cats? Cats get to roam around outside without a leash. They go up on the furniture. They can stay home alone much longer. Its not that you value Fluffy more than you do Fido, (Does anyone ever actually name a dog Fido?) its just that cats and dogs are different.

OK, so now you may be glaring at your screen and bellowing, Are women supposed to be the cats or the dogs here, Weezy!? These are two different species! For the love of Mother Nature, Google it!

Women are neither the cats nor the dogs. Itsjust that I do so love analogies and I am attempting to convey that women have always been and will always be different from men.

Women, after all, carry the baby. Additionally, hormonal factors cause men and boys to think, feel and act differently than girls and women. They are biologically programmed one way, and we another.
