I find this slogan disgusting. Let me explain to you why that is.

A) Some people who toss this saying around claim it to be in support of gender equality. Why, then, would you be using this stupid catch line, which endorses feminine supremacy over equality, to prove your point?

B) Some people who toss this saying around back it up with such sexist, airheaded declarations as "Girls rule and boys drool", "Men are from Mars, women are from Venus", and the popular classic, "Men are pigs." Often, these so-called "feminists" are nothing more than teenage girls out to make an image for themselves who care for nothing about the feminist movement other than the possibility of their being viewed as royalty in comparison to men.

The feminist movement is not a neo-punk pop-culture cause geared for teenage females who only want out of it the excuse to wear whatever tiny article of clothing they can squeeze into that features a leggy cartoon girl and a half-baked male-bashing phrase. The sole goal of feminism is not: any woman being able to wear anything she wants and be completely safe from the possibility of a man even turning his head in her direction (which, according to these pop-culture feminists, would be just cause for a sexual-harassment suit and further strengthen their opinion that all men are hormonal jerks). Feminism is not out to change the behaviour of the entire male gender. It is out to change the moral and legal attitudes of societies toward making sure that females are treated as male's equals.

Another disturbing part of this male-versus-female debate that I've encountered several times is the griping of females that men "have it easy" in this world. Often, this comes from females whining about their monthly visitor. To them, and other like minds, I offer this bit of news: Neither sex has a predominantly-easier time of life. Sure, women have their cramps and bloating and labour pains - but let me detail a few of man's difficulties.

– Wet dreams.

– Blue balls.

– Having his genitals fondled during routine doctor's appointments.

– Spontaneous erections.

– Whipping his dick into plain view - often in the company of other, more well-endowed men - to piss into a porcelain box on the wall.

Not so much fun being a sexually-prudish culture, is it.

Might I also point out that sexism is not targeted only at females? Men have to contend with sexual discrimination as well, which, of course, comes at them from the "fairer" sex. I'm irked by the hypocrisy of these women, most of whom are blind to its manifestation in themselves: How can you get so offended by the slighest truly- or falsely-perceived sexist derogative dropped onto you by a man, then turn around and drop similar derogatives onto his entire sex?

Here are a few of those stereotypical gems that innocent men may fall victim to.

– Men are pigs, jerks, etc., and incapable of being sweet.

– Men favour football over women.

– Men are emotionless.

– Men are stupid.

– Men are possessive and jealous.

– Men are obsessed with large-breasted women.

– Men are gross. They find it amusing to burp, fart, and piss for distance.

– Men are interested in women for one reason, and one reason only: sex. They are sex-crazed.

In conclusion: Ladies, the next time you gripe about being a victim of sexism, think hard about your own past behaviour and whether you have ever uttered a sexist clichι like the ones in the list above. In this case, sexism today is not a double standard, but a crime for which both sexes are equally guilty.
