Dear Feminists

Is unattached sex the driving force behind all human endeavors? Is money really the most important product in the world?

Reading news articles about the feminist movement in the US I would think that. Yesterday was "Equal Pay Day," for women? I don't understand why this day even exists. Are there some big bad people out there oppressing women and making them work for sub-par wages?

In truth, I caught a Forbes article titled 'It's time to bury the myth of gender inequality in pay,' () that described this gap as only based on the median wages of men and women. This doesn't take into account motivation of women and men, along with the actual jobs they do, (I for one will never be working on an oil rig or fishing boat, high paying jobs typically held by men.)

Between this and the great contraceptive debate of March 2012, where feminist screamed and yelled that it was a women's health issue, to take birth control and have abortions, I'm feel more oppressed by the women's movement then any man I know.

What if I don't want to make equal pay as a man because I have other goals outside of my career? As a writer I make nada, but it affords me the ability to travel unencumbered by a desk, boss, apartment? How else would I be writing from Paris. Thankfully, with the support of a MAN, my wonderful, Generous father, I get the freedom to write on the train as I look at the Eiffle Tower every day.

Of course, I do not have any delusions that I will be able to live this life forever. I will get a supplemental job soon enough, if only to pay for part of my expenses and to keep me slightly occupied as I pursue my own goals.

Such arguments that blow things out of proportion like the wage gap or contraception have done little besides give the media something exciting to talk about. Polarizing people doesn't do anything but piss people off. I for one want to crawl under the bed every time I hear or read someone talk about evil rich people or religious zealots trying to oppress women. Seriously?

Maybe it is time for the feminist movement to stop acting like the Duke Lacrosse teams accuser and start asking how they could be of help to all people whether they are housewives or CEOs. Because until they stop trying to oppress men in favor some misguided attempt to get "equality" I wont have anything to do with them.
