Time Text
So this is my message to feminists.
I'm not going to bother nominating anyone else because I was a bit late doing this and they'll all already have been nominated.
But you're not being oppressed.
You're not under any kind of oppression.
In fact, you've probably gone to university and that's how we know you're not oppressed.
Oppressed people don't get educations.
If you've got some money in your bank, there you go.
You're not oppressed.
Oppressed people aren't wealthy.
Especially, let's be fair, a lot of you come from wealthy families.
So in fact, it looks like you're kind of compensating for the fact that you were born into privilege and now you need to kind of project that onto everyone else because, I mean, if they're not privileged and you are, on what grounds do you have to claim that you deserve something they don't?
And stop being so hateful.
You know, just stop it.
All this running around screaming at people that, you know, basically hate men, hashtag kill all men.
You know, no, men are to blame.
Men are this, men are that.
It's the patriarchy, the patriarchy, it's everywhere.
It just makes you look like paranoid conspiracy theorists.
Take some responsibility for your own choices in your own life.
You made them.
You chose to do gender studies.
You chose to get a shit job doing nothing, paying nothing, not contributing to society.
You can't set yourself up as some sort of secular priestly class.
We're here to enforce diversity.
No, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
That's not going to work.
It's not going to fly.
It's going to collapse.
People are going to hate you.
And then you're going to wonder why everyone hates you.
Because you've been so unbelievably unbearable to everyone else.
You cannot justify your own shitty actions on something someone else has done.
No one's going to buy it.
You have to take responsibility for yourself, for your life, and you have to get on with it.
