Sexual Stereotyping Evidence of Patriarchy's Gender Binary Propaganda (satire)

Sexual stereotypes like this are based on binary genderism promoting the male versus female differences.

Regarding women seeking the strongest type, not all strong men are capable of becoming the equal in a relationship.

Likewise the stereotyping of men as always looking for other women.  In certain cases, this may be true but most of the time, the man has female friends who are not truly  rivals, but are sought out because the girlfriend or wife is unable to articulate herself in a straightforward way that makes sense to a man.

Flirting with a rival male to make a male significant other jealous isn't straightforward.  It is a mindgame because a simple request to pay attention to her ought to be a part of the social compact that males and females implicitly agree to.

Mind reading by either sex is also a mind game since neither of us is telepathic.

Thus, the statement — "the males are like Bluetooth and females, WiFi" — is flawed.

Any male or female who tries to use it as a guide to a strong relationship will eventually find the stereotypes enable fallacies about male and female human beings, which may lead to either fanatical belief in, and enforcement of, the gender binary or worse,  unhappy relationships and marriage.

Relationships are very much more complex than the internet and its technology.

Even so, the humor is appreciated.  If you thought I was being sarcastic, then you are correct.

For sexual stereotypes are tools used by the patriarchy to maintain the lie that gender is binary.

Neoconservative elites of the patriarchy both in the Church and the State need to make money, and simplifying gender into a binary is what heteronormative means, since it simplifies the sales of product based on the gender binary of man and woman.

While I am not an expert on gender and relationships,  I do understand that the statement that "men=Bluetooth and women=WiFi" means that we have a lot of work to do to expose the fallacy of gender as binary for the lie that it is.

Furthermore, the fallacy that men and women are like technology shows that this hilarious post reflects the extent that the "gender as binary" propaganda of neoconservative elements in Church and State is spoonfed into children's minds from cradle to grave.

YMMV

Synopsis of what I just wrote:  men and women are not technology but instead are complex people. If you believe that gender only exists as a binary of man and woman, then you have fallen for the propaganda that follows us from cradle to grave. 😉

Bolas / Balls (poem)

Às vezes eu sinto áspero, desajeitado,
E deselegante porque eu não sou uma mulher;
Por isso, digo a mim mesma
A mentira sobre gênero: um homem não precisa
Seja gracioso, por sua presença
Tem sido conhecida ao longo da história.
Verdade seja dita, os homens não são graciosos
Porque eles têm testículos para proteger.

— English translation —

Sometimes I feel rough, clumsy,
And ungainly because I am not a woman;
therefor, I tell myself
A lie about gender: a man need not
Be graceful, for their presence
Has been known throughout history.
Truth be told, men are not graceful
Because they have testes to protect.

Outer Darkness and Inner Light

Here are my thoughts on Outer Darkness, which might seem heretical to the orthodox Mormons, who believe it to be a place rather than also a state of mind. The Inner Light of the soul that God created is incorruptible, even when a human being is cast into Outer Darkness by his apostasy through acts of rebellion (sins).

Outer Darkness consists of the behavioral and mental negativity such as hate-love, happiness-indifference, sadness-indifference, anger-kindness, jealousy-equanimity, lying-sincerity, miserly-generosity, lust-chastity, and other dualities.

God is the author of good-and-evil, which is not a duality but complementary opposites, for indifference is the true evil. Thus all things are neutral in essence until MAN judges some of them good and their true opposites evil.

This is why acting amorally is evil and acting morally is good.

However, neither acting good or evil but indifferently is a greater sin than picking either good or evil. Choosing devil over God is only a sin when you worship the devil and forget Jesus is lord of us all, but acting devilishly in ignorance is forgiven when you repent of it.

In the final analysis though, Outer Darkness is like wearing black: when you shed the darkness through prayers of earnest repentance, your Inner Light shines.

Censorship: The Myth of Male Power

When a man calls a woman a girl, in no way is it solely implicit that he means she is weak and helpless.

For calling a woman a girl only identifies gender. In the implied insult, "girl" == " female child", which requires suspension of disbelief regarding the conclusion that a child is powerless. This is a myth.

If a child was truly powerless, then why do grown adults fawn over a cute child? A good mass media example of this is the Home Alone franchise.

Therefore the use of the statement, "he called me a girl and thus implies I am weak and powerless" AKA "the male power trip" is a fallacy. For it is a myth that men have power over women. Most laws in Canada protect the rights of women, and thus render arguments about the myth of male power invalid.

This is because such intent cannot be proven since online discussions are protected by free speech.

Implicit in the above arguments regarding the myth of male power over women is its use in censorship.

The Democracy of the Munda

Once upon a time in Travancore, modern day south Kerala and northwest Tamil Nadu, to wear the munda (kilt) appeared modest and democratic in that both lower caste men and women showed both bare leg and breast.

Over time, it became part of the caste system.

In time it became to represent oppression of women after colonization by the British in the 1700s since a woman was barred from covering her upper body.

Then in 1859, the Channar Lahala or the Upper Cloth Revolt (Channar Mutiny) occurred after 50 years of violent struggle in the name of women's liberation for the right of women of all castes to cover their upper bodies.
