Femínismi hvað

Ég á það til að að skoða búlletín á mæspeis, og rakst á eftirfarandi búlletín sem mér fannst eiginlega druuuullufyndið, en samt pínu vafasamt. Yfirskriftin var "I hate feminism. I really do. Fuckin facists!", mér finnst þetta persónulega ekki koma femínisma baun við, þetta er bara hreint og beint hallærislegt. En lesið þetta! Þetta er skrifað af frönskum manni sem hefur varið sínum tíma á íslandi meira og minna undanfarið ár held ég. Hér er myspace síðan hans: www.myspace.com/malcken

"Today, I was refused access to the swimming pool. Not because I smelled bad or didn't have the appropriate cothing. I was refused access to the pool because I'm a man (a young one, that is).

Yep. Today, the pool I usually go to in Reykjavik, at least twice a week, wouldn't let me in because of centuries old gender issues. From 7.00PM until 10.00PM, on wednesday the 24th of ctober, only women could access the goddam pool. One could wonder why. I honestly don't have an answer. I've been thinking about it a lot and I just can't think of anything that could justify such a drastic measure.

I've been going to this pool for a year now, and so far it has been letting in both genders, at the same time, and it has been working out pretty well, at least for me. Icelandic males (and females alike) are usually sex-craved only on friday and saturday nights, when the pools are closed anyway. I've never spotted any indecent behaviour on their part, nor any rape attempts in the pool.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all into gender equality. Gender equality rocks. I'm also all into standing up for what you believe in. Their are plenty of honorable causes that are worth our attention and that I would stand up for, like "stopping African children from starving", or "putting an end to wars because they kill people", or "funding research against breast cancer". Oddly enough "banning men from pools 3 hours a year" is not one of them.

What am I supposed to do now? I feel discriminated against. Who decided that millenia of men oppressing women would reverse on October 24th 2007? Just because some feminist facist twat decided so doesn't mean it's a good idea. I want media coverage of my story, to warn the public opinion.
I'll start by sending a couple of letters, to the mayor Reykjavik for starters, and a few copies to Morgunblaðið, Séð og Heyrt and the New York Times I should make an appeal to the United Nations, as basic human rights are being violated in a country like Iceland. I mean come on, I just wanted to go to the pool, you retards. I want the person who came up with this brilliant idea to be tried in front of the ICJ in the Hague, though I think it's a pity the ICJ has abolished the death penalty in this particular case.

Well ladies, I hope this oh so shameful action wasn't taken in vain. I hope you knocked yourselves out at the pool today. You must have been having the time of your lives not having men lurking at your fat asses.

Fuck that shit, I'll just go to the pool tomorrow.

Hasta la revolución, siempre.

Yours truly,
Malcolm"

Ég vil ekki vita hvernig við komum útlendingum fyrir sjónir á svona stundum, mér líður eins og kjána. Athugasemdir eru skylda.

Er hann ekki líka að grínast? Í öllu falli finnst mér hann frekar fyndinn.

Hmmm... ég skil alveg afhverju menn eru bannaðir frá sundlaugum í 3 tíma. Mér myndi þykja það bara þæginlegt. Sumar konur eru svo hrikalega spéhræddar að þær þora ekki í sund með karlamann nálgæt.

Díses. Hvað myndi Femínistafélagið segja ef karlmenn færu fram á svona? Og fengju því framfylgt? Þó það muni nú aldrei gerast í þessu „jafnréttissamfélagi“.
