Men Made This

I guess there's a reason I only read a voice for men for my daily dose of chauvinist (in a picture perfect use of the word), self-aggrandizing, bullshit.

The gaze of men projects outward into it; they see it, they take what they need from it, and they remake it anew

[Needs Citations]. And that's not always a good thing. For instance, men (if we want to use the word to reference all male technological advancements) tend to consume and destroy more of the world; we tend to deforest, to destroy nature for personal benefit, to "create" only in the more short-sighted sense of the word.

The gaze of women falls inward. The world becomes them, it exists for them. And thus, women do not build; they consume

[Needs Citations].

Hoo boy. Ignore the female CEOs, doctors, lawyers, ect. Ignore the female scientists, the female engineers. Ignore Hypatia, every bit the equal of Socrates and Plato. Instead, project your own specific misogyny (based, one presumes, on the number of women who don't want to sleep with you) on to women in general.

I know that it is not man who is responsible, but men

You're making an unfounded leap of logic. Your (faulty) chain goes like this:

Mankind has created things of lasting beauty, which are awesome
Most of those things were made by males
Therefore males are creators and awesome.

Look at #2 there. Men created the things you mention because men had the power to. But one need look only at the times women have been in power. Empress Theodora is credited with some of the greatest achievements of the Byzantine empire (the Justinian code, the Hagia Sophia, lots of legislative reform). Hypatia was one of the greatest scientists of antiquity (until she was raped and murdered during the destruction of the Library at Alexandria; an act (by men) to reject science and embrace barbarism). I can keep going if you'd like.

Don't mistake "men being in power, and building things" with "only men build things".

This is not men's rights advocation, it is phallus worship.

Great post. Compare today with 100 yrs ago. What we have today couldn't have been possible if not for genius men creating what they did. Where are the Einsteins and Bohrs of today? Oh wait, can't have educated or smart boys, it might make the girls feel bad.
