She Is 23 and ‘So F–king Exhausted’

Posted on | November 2, 2015 | 106 Comments

Feminist Tumblr is about many things, but in general it’s about young women who hate the whole world and everyone in it. Marina is an “intersectional feminist and a human rights advocate” who hates the whole world because everybody is sexist and she recounts the various hassles she must endure before she finally blows up and calls her boss “a sexist a–hole,” which is not her fault:

this is what sexism does – it makes it impossible to win if you’re a girl, or a woman, it makes your entire existance an uphill battle. and truth be told, i am getting so f–king tired. i am 23, a quarter of my life behind me, and i am already tired of educating men twice my age about what is right and appropriate. i am tired of the stares that say i am over-reacting, the replies to calm down, the polite smiles that are meant to knock me down a few pegs. i am tired of explaining to men that sexism is not this one incident, it is my entire life, my every single day. i am 23 and i am so f–king exhausted.

See? She needs to educate us about “what is right and appropriate” because she is 23 and an expert on everything, while the rest of us (especially men twice her age) are clueless idiots.

This is why we cannot simply laugh at feminism’s death-grip on college education. Young women emerge from the protective campus cocoon — where no one is permitted to criticize feminism — and enter a world where most people don’t spend their days worrying about “human rights” and “intersectionality.” In the real world, people have work to do and bills to pay, and the last thing they need is for some young fanatic fresh out of college, hired for an entry-level position, to go crazy in the office because somebody made a joke she didn’t like.

Feminism makes women unemployable.

A paranoid worldview that perceives misogyny and social injustice everywhere renders feminists incapable of functioning in normal life. Because success in the real world requires cooperation and teamwork, a hostile chip-on-your-shoulder attitude is no more conducive to professional success than it is to personal happiness.

One more thing, sweetheart: You misspelled “existence.”

    this is what sexism does – it makes it impossible to win if you’re a boy, or a man it makes your entire existence an uphill battle. and
    truth be told, i am getting so f–king tired. i am 51, 2/3’s of my
    life behind me, and i am already tired of educating females half my age
    about what are real and imaginary slights. i am tired of the stares that say i
    am over-reacting, the replies they can’t even, the sobbing break-downs that are
    meant to knock me down a few pegs. i am tired of explaining to females that real world is not this one incident, it is every day, i am 51 and i am so f–king exhausted.

    As a Navy helicopter flight instructor I was on the edge of an EEO investigation when a minority student accused the instructors of being racially biased on his end of course critique. Huge deal. I’m called in and it’s noted that of the 5 times I’m scheduled to fly with this guy– they were all canceled. I’m asked why would I do that? I point out, per the SDO’s notes on the schedule- it was the student who cancelled every time. Sick, couldn’t sleep the night before, medical appointment or meds. They go away, never talk to me again. Apparently all of the students (regardless of race/color/gender) they interview say I’m a really tough instructor to prepare for, really demanding in the brief, ask more systems questions than other instructor-but fair and actually a good instructor. Thankfully, investigators conclude the guy who filed the complaint was simply avoiding me. Other instructors who flew with him weren’t so lucky and it dragged on a while for them.

    Simple rule: If you leave home in the morning and come into conflict with the first person you meet, they’re probably an asshole. If you come into conflict with every person you meet, YOU are the asshole.
