The Biggest Male Enslavement of Women Ever: The Feminist Hoodwink

Imagine this, if you will, in or about 1950 Hugh Hefner and other men like him, asked themselves the question, “How can we maximize the number of women we have sex with, avoiding all responsibility for disease or pregnancy or marriage?”  They were highly motivated to achieve this orgiastic Nirvana. 

A few of these highly motivated men said, “What about this Feminism?  What if we played on women’s desire for power and independence from men and turned it into enslavement to men?” 

“What are you talking about?” others asked, pantingly. 

“We introduce the idea that for a female to be a real, independent, powerful woman, like a man, she should be like us:  looking for sexual conquest, oblivious to disease and pregnancy—tough, calling her own shots.” 

“Hey, that’s brilliant,” said another of the group.   “We appeal to the human ego.  Be powerful all you women, be like a man.  Go after your sexual conquests.  He isn’t screwing you.  You’re screwing him!  Load up for battle, get that pill, stash those rubbers, and get out there and show man who’s boss.”

“This is genius.  We get women to believe that being strong and independent means screwing man after man.  We all get our turn, and with no responsibility or ramification.  You deserve a medal, Man.”

“And, better yet, we can add that real independence is ‘having control over one’s own body’ meaning if she does get pregnant, she heads right into the abortionist for a scraping.” 

“Oh, Man, now you’re getting greedy.”

“No, no, a segment of women who are ego driven will swallow this pill (again, no pun intended) and push this like it’s their own idea.  And a bunch of other women will acquiesce because of peer pressure.  Some women will even pat each other on the back and give each other awards for this.”

“You are a genius, Man.  This could be more fun than our wildest dreams.”

And so it was, from a little seed (no pun intended) planted by the ever lascivious male part of the population, feminism became women consuming health-altering contraceptive drugs at their sole expense, allowing one penis after another to penetrate them, without marriage, and if pregnancy should occur, putting their back on the abortion table to show that man who’s really boss.

And that segment of the female population did buy it hook, line, and sinker.  Even today they proudly assert their fandom for and portrayal of Sex and the City and similar stories which espouse that original ruse that it’s the woman running things, fornicating her way to social and financial advancement.  And those men of the Hugh Hefner generation, and today’s version, continue to have that “fun” beyond their wildest dreams.

A fifty year and counting avalanche of STDs, abortion, single motherhood, poverty, and divorce rolls along.  And this very moment, the “Hefners” applaud from the back of the ballroom (no pun intended) as another feminist proudly receives another award for power and independence.

It don’t get any better than that…Man.

A New High in Lows or More of the Same?

Is behavior in film and TV really getting worse?  Or is it a case of misremembering the past?  Have the same vices been committed just as grossly and frequently but we don’t remember them?

Film and TV content makes a strong case for a significant decline in standards.  But who is at fault?

Rumor has it that Clark Gable caused a $5,000 fine (by that day’s MPAA) for uttering the word “damn” at the end of Gone With the Wind (it is reported that an amendment was written to film standards to allow the word without penalty), but the strong controversy is what matters.  In 2004 Janet Jackson, dressed in sadomasochistic leather, bared her breast on national TV at the Super Bowl, and as of this date the $550,000 fine of CBS by the FCC is still in litigation.  My guess is that it will never be paid.

The husband and wife comedy team, Rob and Laurie Petrie, in the 1960s had to sleep in separate beds in full pajama shirt and pants, today we have two females at the beginning of a “House” episode naked, depicting homosexual fornication.  (A natural prelude to a story about auto-immune disease?)

Most recently, Adam Lambert, the latest faux talent from the American Idol reality TV show, appeared on the 2009 American Music Awards and kissed a male musician and depicted oral sex with another.  He says it wasn’t planned, just him being spontaneous.  (Janet Jackson said it wasn’t planned either.)  Regardless, it was a conscious act.  Subsequently, several of his TV appearances have been canceled, according to Lambert due to FCC heat that will eventually pass.

The FCC

The FCC has two standards for improper behavior on TV pertaining to sex:   1.  Obscene 2. Indecent.

Simply enough, obscene material cannot be telecast at any time.  Indecent material cannot be shown between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.  Indecent material describes sexual or excretory organs or activities that are not obscene.  For the material to be obscene it must appeal to prurient interest (marked by, arousing, or appealing to sexual desire) and lack serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.

The FCC standards consider the opinion of the “average person.”  Has the average person in the U.S. sunk to the point where Lambert’s depictions have serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value?  I hope not; I assert the depictions are obscene and do not benefit from the excuse that his acts were aired after 10 p.m.

A Solution

The FCC or the MPAA are a limited force to maintain standards.  They have little effect against a key motivation of scandalous film and TV depictions:  to generate attention.

According to a 2009 Pew Forum survey, approximately 84% of adults in the U.S. belong to traditional religions, including 78% who state they are Christian.  Given this, it seems that the prevalence of indecent and obscene material is not being supported by the self-described Godless.

The indecent and obscene material would disappear if its audience stayed away.  We can blame the standards boards or the materialistic Hollywood executives.  But they are irrelevant if the audience just ignored their reprobate work.  On the issue of film and TV standards, it is worthwhile to remember what Pogo said, “Yep, Son, we have met the enemy, and he is us.”
