BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMEN
Why American men should boycott American women
[url]

I am an American man, and I have decided to boycott American women. In a nutshell, American women are the most likely to cheat on you, to divorce you, to get fat, to steal half of your money in the divorce courts, don’t know how to cook or clean, don’t want to have children, etc. Therefore, what intelligent man would want to get involved with American women?

American women are generally immature, selfish, extremely arrogant and self-centered, mentally unstable, irresponsible, and highly unchaste. The behavior of most American women is utterly disgusting, to say the least.

This blog is my attempt to explain why I feel American women are inferior to foreign women (non-American women), and why American men should boycott American women, and date/marry only foreign (non-American) women.

BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMEN!

Wow.

Some fun quotes from the site. Thomas says:

American women are scum. They are out for nothing but money and will sue any man/business owner they can , usually under that flimsy sexual harrassment premise. American women are the most evil of all creatures on earth.

And from William:

The fact that american women don’t want to fold socks is evidence that they suck. Think about it. Why should I be with you if I still gotta do it. I gotta pay the mortgage AND do my own laundry? Eff that. Rather have a chick from the pueblos of Mexico that is hot, young, nice, cleans, and will actually take a pan from the cupboard and are you ready for this? She will put edible objects inside and get this! She will turn on the flame and COOK THEM SO THAT HER MAN MAY CONSUME THEM. A very bizare concept to the American woman yes I know.

Yep, America let the American woman off the LEASH, some 35 years ago. And they really showed the world what they are capable of…
lesbianism, up 250%…
murders against children by their mother’s, up 400%…
Prison population increase of women, up 100% since 1975,increased at a faster rate than the number of male inmates.
Yes, American girls, you really showed the world what your capable of when left to your own devices. lmao.. american woman are so much dangerous now. careful folks.

I rolled down my window and he started talking across the gap between our cars. I couldn’t really hear him over the rain, complicated by his soft voice and foreign accent. I finally understood that he was complimenting me on my bumper stickers. This happens every so often, and I always get a kick out of it. I have a couple dozen bumper stickers on the back of my car, ranging from the political – about Obama or women’s rights – to the silly (“No, I will not fix your computer”). I thanked him, and started to roll my window back up, when he yelled something I heard very clearly:

“Wanna meet up some place?

I rolled up my window, turned back to the light (green, by this time), and sped away.

This absolutely ruined my good mood, and I’m still pretty cranky. After talking with a friend, I think I’ve teased out why.

First is the obvious reason: he was making assumptions on my sexual promiscuity (and interest in his sorry ass) based on my self-expression. This is a little different than assuming someone in a short skirt is a slut, but I think it’s in the same ballpark. (Though I can’t imagine “bumper sticker shaming” catching on as a term.)

I also don’t like how his behavior made me question myself. I’d love to be able to write him off and go along my merry way, but my initial reaction (after “EW!”) was, “Well, maybe it was foolish of me to have all these bumper stickers proclaiming my political views and strongly implying things about my sexuality. Maybe I was asking for it.”

Except I know that’s bullshit.

I’m also really frustrated because I try – mostly with success – to focus on the positive things about transitioning and being a woman. Sure, I miss my upper body strength, but I love my boobs, my smooth legs, my self-expression, my hair. I really enjoy being a woman. But I’ve been pretty insulated from the “bad” things about being a woman. First, I was insulated by not presenting as female. I was still bombarded with the media depictions of womanhood (not to mention trans women) which did take its toll. But I was never socially trained about the negative ramifications of presenting and being perceived as female. First and foremost, that there’s a segment of the population who will assume that any display of sex or sexuality will make them assume you’re ‘open for business.’ And this guy definitely reminded me of that.

And maybe I do need to grow a thicker skin. I just can’t help but miss my childlike innocence about the wonder of the world, and of womanhood.

Of course, I’m not the first or only one to comment on Avatar’s racial dynamic. Sci-fi site io9 says it best:

[Movies like Avatar and District 9] are movies about white guilt. Our main white characters realize that they are complicit in a system which is destroying aliens, AKA people of color – their cultures, their habitats, and their populations. The whites realize this when they begin to assimilate into the “alien” cultures and see things from a new perspective. To purge their overwhelming sense of guilt, they switch sides, become “race traitors,” and fight against their old comrades. But then they go beyond assimilation and become leaders of the people they once oppressed. This is the essence of the white guilt fantasy, laid bare. It’s not just a wish to be absolved of the crimes whites have committed against people of color; it’s not just a wish to join the side of moral justice in battle. It’s a wish to lead people of color from the inside rather than from the (oppressive, white) outside.

Meanwhile, Avatar is yet another story of a male knight in shining armor running to the rescue of oppressed “savages.” Sure, they do much of the work themselves, and there are strong female supporting characters, but the movie is very clear that without Jack, the Na’vi would have been screwed. Likewise, from GlobalShift:

As preferred as the Na’vi culture obviously is, they still need the help of Jake to decide on allowing their women to have any say in marital arrangements. And, given that Neytiri is precise in addressing the final step of a warrior is to choose “his woman,” it becomes abundantly clear the film is likewise heterosexist. Cameron bragging about slapping prosthetic breasts on non-mammal females doesn’t help, either.

To be clear, I’m not trying to pretend I didn’t enjoy the movie. I liked watching it a lot, and would recommend it to anyone looking for an escapist fantasy. (And seeing it in 3D, for which we had to wait another hour past the non-3D showtime we intended to see, was worth it. This is a very pretty movie.) But I do think it’s unfortunate that a movie with such revolutionary technological storytelling power was a rehash of the same white-man-saves-noble-savage trope.

Finally, for some delightful fridge logic, isn’t the ‘victory’ at the end of the movie incredibly hollow? Sure, they kick the humans – “except for a special few” off-planet. But there must be another mining ship on its way, and sooner or later (within about 10 years, if the ~5 year transit time indicated in the movie is accurate) the humans will be back with much heavier firepower.

What, you didn’t think conquering the colonialists actually works, did you?
