#IfIWereAFeminist

hashtag if I were a boy the latest rad feminist hashtag campaign I see may mean radical feminists rather than rad as in Bart Simpson rad on Tuesday 12 Elite daily staff members took a stand against sexism by starting the hashtag if I were a boy I look forward to hearing about how much they simply don't know what it's like to be male so elite daily the self-proclaimed voice of Generation Y ah prove me wrong Generation Y and twelve women share what they do differently if they were treated the same as men when we're young we're told the boys and girls all have the same fair shot to get what they want out of life hang on hang on I'll stop you there to get what they want now it really depends on what you want isn't it if you want a free ride where you don't do any real work you don't get the qualifications you need and yet you still get paid over the odds by virtue of birth then you can't have that if getting what you want means an equal shot at being able to work hard and achieve the same things as boys or men then you do have that but let's continue we're told that everyone has the same right to compete for jobs and to achieve those dreams they do when we are little we aren't Jade enough to believe that we can't aspire to be anything we set our sights on well some people just don't have the capacity to become brain surgeons you know what I mean but then we grow up we don't think we'll ever be fighting for our right to be heard to have a voice [ __ ] yourself you're writing you are part of the media you have Twitter just like anyone else in every magazine there is a female section section dedicated to women TV channels you have whole TV channels daytime TV is the purview of women but no you don't have a voice no you need to be heard I like this as well we don't realize men in power decide how and when and where we do what we want to our bodies how when and where you do what you want your bodies how is it what you want if it's being decided by someone else you [ __ ] we don't even think the world will write us a set of different rules the problem you idiots is that your rules are better you're just so entitled you cannot see that your rules are better because your standards are so absurdly high for what how you think you should be treated you [ __ ] Disney Princesses that you don't understand that you have such a good deal anyone could tell this by simply looking at suicide statistics the people who are on top in the society don't commit suicide more often than the people who are suffering let's continue 12 elite Daly employees answered what they would do differently if they were men if they were truly equal and the arms every answer was different unique inspiring and encouraging and that's just the beginning I don't know about you but I have to know more if I were a boy I'd be courteous and remember to put the seat down you literally just said in this article we don't think we'll be fighting for our rights to be heard this woman is fighting for her rights to be heard whinging at her boyfriend I imagine this comes under inspirational if I were a boy I wouldn't mistake a woman's kindness for weakness well done Al Capone Jesus Christ that was said by a mobster I imagine this comes under unique if I were a boy I'd take the time to have a conversation I want to let you in on a secret I don't need to tell anyone else this is just between me and you men have conversations all the time in fact every day and have conversations but this is a secret between me and you I'm breaking my patriarchal oath by telling a woman so don't tell any other women don't worry I know I can trust you if I were a boy I'd appreciate a girl's ability to express her emotions well I would but this is kind of like saying I appreciate a fish's ability to breathe underwater they can all do it if I were a boy I'd never tell a woman to smile well good for you look at you raising the important issues thank God you've spoken out about this because God knows that if women were ever fighting for their right to be heard it was definitely their right to be heard that they they just let their just I want to smile that it's fine they don't have to you can't make them stop asking them that's not fair that's the biggest problem this woman has and you keep perpetuating it you agent of the patriarchy if I were a boy I wouldn't assume that buying you a drink means you're coming home with me of course not she should be thankful she has the privilege of even being able to buy a woman a drink if I were a boy I'd be able to make choices about my own body of course you would just like these ultra-orthodox Jewish babies that keep choosing to get herpes if I were a boy I'd never use the phrase like a girl as an insult until I did sports so naturally the feminists proles on Twitter were all over this because they know exactly what it would be like to be a boy and exactly how they'd act for example if I were a boy my family would be telling me to have fun at college instead of telling me to be careful unless anyone in your family has any experience of feminism in which case they might well tell you to be careful I'm sure she just left that off the end of her tweet if I were a boy my thoughts and opinions would be valued I'm sure they would such thoughts as I'm dyeing my hair dark blue before I go to school and such opinions like feminism is such an amazing cult to be a part of I honestly don't care that it has a negative connotation I'm a proud cultist they're getting them when they're young if I were a boy I would dads go running alone before 7:30 a.m. and I wouldn't be afraid that every man I meet as a potential rapist because rapists are well known for their morning wood I can't tell whether these statements conjoined or not but to be honest with you if you're a boy then you probably wouldn't be a feminist and you probably wouldn't then be afraid that every man you meet is a potential rapist because you wouldn't have feminism put the shit's up you about it if I were a boy no one would make jokes about me belonging in the kitchen which is true they'd be making jokes about prison rape if I were a boy I probably wouldn't be terrified to walk home alone at night no violence is done to any men anywhere in the world and men don't even have to walk home at night we're so organized that we have a special phone number for a patriarchal taxi service that comes and picks us up for free the patriarchy is [ __ ] amazing if I were a boy I'd take out my pay slip and just like look at it for ages before I realized that it was exactly the same as what it was when I was a girl because I'd be in the same job if I were a boy I'd spare my girl's feelings and not even text my side check if I were a boy I wouldn't have a side chick to begin with if I were a boy I'd leave my side chick alone and not play with her feelings either because if I were a boy I certainly wouldn't use this hashtag to whine about my boyfriend cheating on me if I were a boy I'd tell you you're the only one for me when I'm really copying and pasting that text to five other girls if I were a boy I'd promise you're you you're my one and only but I'd also promise her and her and oh yeah her and if I were a boy I would tell girls I cared about them then leave them the next week well for women who didn't think they'd be fighting for their right to be heard the things they want the world to hear using that right a remarkably mundane in fact if I was feeling uncharted all I would say that these are petty oh look at this the MREs have turned to ruin it again with that facts [ __ ] dicks if I were a boy nobody would care if I was raped Oh boohoo if you got some male tears you raped boohoo there are women being raped over here you know women they're way more important what you're gained even though it is the same thing if I were a boy and I had a scar on my genitals they'd say get over it yes because that scar would be on a penis nobody cares boohoo give me a cup of your well it's you're a woman you don't have male tears what in fact now I think about it feminists know that men don't express their emotion and therefore men don't cry so oh my god I think I've just worked out what male tears as a euphemism for if I were a boy even as a child I'd be one of the many innocent people that Nina thinks as a rapist except you're not innocent are you Mike anyone can be a rapist there are loads of different kinds of rape this young boy is stair raping this woman that makes him a rapist they're not there for you to look out mr. entitled just because they're falling out of her top doesn't mean you're allowed to look if I were a boy my sexuality would offer me very little leverage meanwhile on my Facebook feed six hours before this video was made whoo go me I just use my boobs to get out of a speeding ticket frankly I'm actually just jealous I would use my boobs too but I can't because they're too hairy if I were a boy drugged and raped by a woman the state would hold me accountable for the child that may come from that sexual contact Oh boohoo you were raped and now you're ping [ __ ] extorted for life oh good grief let me find another picture of Jessica Valenti collecting mail tears perfect if I were a boy I would have zero respect for feminists whining about being objectified by men god I wish you disgusting anti-feminist m-ras would just shut your [ __ ] pie holes and listen objectification only occurs when a man looks at a woman and every time a man looks at a woman what about this are you not getting and last but certainly not least this one by Ray's Blake Andy we're a very young lady who clearly knows all about the world has posted if I were a boy I did you Kate myself about feminism I rather think that's the problem love everyone actually has educated themselves about feminism let's ask the most powerful man in the world what he thinks about feminism yes today women make up about half our workforce Oh brilliant but they still make 77 cents for every dollar a man earns oh he's definitely a feminist is wrong and in 2014 it's an embarrassment we don't deserve equal pay for equal work absolutely I'm I'm glad someone finally has the bravery to speak out about this I hope there are no reprisals I hope he doesn't get assassinated by an MRA I mean are they instead Oh standing ovation standing ovation she deserves to have a baby without sacrificing her job of course she does a mother deserves that they are they deserve levity one for a sick child or a sick parent without running into hardship hell yeah and you know what a father does to Brett what did you just say the f-word well I think or not give every woman the opportunity she deserves because I believe when women succeed America succeeds that's what I [ __ ] thought and don't you forget it
