From Bike Face to Breast Cancer: The Psychological War on Women

I can't give you an exact date, the slow, painful, and still in process emancipation of the American female hasn't been adequately documented by the patriarchy.  That should really come as no surprise to anyone.  In the hashtag zeitgeist of "black lives matter", "all lives matter", "not all men", "yes all women" it can be daunting to the intellect and mournful to the soul, that even though our society is having truly passionate discourses in the only public domain we have left, "all female lives matter" is somehow slipping through the cracks.  Our story isn't told, it isn't elaborated on, the youth aren't rallied to fight against male oppression - let alone question it, the youth are taught stripping, makeup, and promiscuity is emancipation - it is so not; abortion clinics are getting shut down all over this country, Planned Parenthood is painted villainous, in media the Bechtel Test is rarely passed let alone a realized concept, The Smurffete Principle is still too often found.  This is not merely a world of men composed of men designed for men where women are reduced to maids, mothers, whores, and sex slaves continuously.      

So as such, since this world has dribbled on in its pre-cum myopic manner deluding itself of possessing rationalization and equity, somewhere around the 1890s chicks started riding bicycles and holy shit, did all the dudes freak the fuck out.  

That hat is awful.

 

The menfolk at the time were terrified of female autonomy. Freedom of movement.  Ladies began venturing out on their own.  The bike seat and road bumps were perhaps stimulating our clits, so worst of all, women were potentially experiencing sexual arousal independent of a man.  Bikes were the original vibrator. It also inspired change of dress for females, most likely due to design functionality but men took it as an officious affront. 

Because we started wearing pants. In what was supposed to be a man's game.            

The backlash against women for wearing pants and venturing outside the home by their own design and vehicle resulted in PSAs starting around 1895 in various publications cautioning women of the dreaded 'Bike Face' they would inevitably suffer from, making them bulging eyed hags. Unlovable and unwanted by men everywhere.

This episode of QI XL summarizes the Bike Face propaganda nicely at minute markers 17:02-21:35 and is, unfortunately, also a great example of The Smurffete Principle in action:

     

It's absolutely fascinating to know that women have been wearing pants for only about roughly 120 years, 12 decades, and that the impetus for women's liberation was the bicycle.      

Men may have invented the wheel, but women rode those wheels to their destiny.  

And the response to it...was BIKE FACE!  The male ego appeals to the female vanity to bend it to their whims, to this very day.  The patriarchy completely contributes to the foundation of female vanity which for women get repackaged as beauty, health, fashion, interior design.  There is a War On Women, a lot of it is psychological warfare.  That needs to be recognized and reckoned with.

Today women are harassed with all sorts of bogus bullshit propaganda, telling them what they should look like and aspire to be.  Thinking the best of us are the ones that manage to act like men.  But that's not true.  Females are left disembodied, disenfranchised, discarded, disregarded.  Continuously.  Almost internationally.  The human female has not been allowed to self-actualize because she's reared in the misogyny of men.  In that dysfunctional atmosphere, she learns to self-loathe and serial rapists are permitted to continue on their way to serial sexual killers aka serial killers.  It creates a market for porn where the female fantasy is hardly ever represented.  In which you get reduced to fetishistic orifices and focused hatred.  In the world of porn, nobody's really making love.        

But I digress. 

Females are told today that they have to have their pseudo-periods while on birth-control, are kept blissfully ignorant of continuous cycle and that male birth-control is a denied option.  Females are told today that abortion will give them breast cancer and infertility--both of which are not true.  Females today are taught that they better learn to suck a dick and take it up the ass if they want to keep their man, which is disturbing.  (Learn how to suck a clit and not maul a breast if you want to keep your woman).  But these physic threats against women, they are all in the same category of Bike Face.

It wasn't until just recently that masses of women started to know--as well as question why--that numerous photographs and adverts contain PhotoShopped imagery.  Literally creating unreal standards of sexiness and beauty.

  

These things that happen to us collectively as women, are done by those that have no true knowledge as to what the human female experience actually is.  Many young women today, once their hearts are broken, when they are walked out on, stuck caring for an unwanted child, when they get denied basic reproductive rights, and most, merely when they start to age, they slowly begin to seethe over the unspoken but blatant differences between mankind and womankind.  It's laughable when men state women rule the world, like this whole awful mess we're in is solely our faults, dudes, you've made it abundantly clear that when we stop being cute and fuckable, we're completely discounted.  Usually labeled crazy.  Laughed at behind our backs for our wrinkles and back-boob.

Once you realize the true surplus of violence is man against woman, typically men known and loved by them..

Just gets overwhelming sometimes.

But this fear of allowing women control over their reproductive rights, especially under the useless guise of religion that by default worships a patriarchal god, has less to do with what defines personhood and more to do with female autonomy.  This is about excursion of will. When a lady finds herself unintentionally pregnant, that's not an act of god, what it is, is a very expensive life-changing accident, one that could give her a pregnancy induced disease, she could birth a defective child, only adding to her burden, guilt, and expenses; her partner may not be a provider and her family may not support her.  She may even be poor or underage.  When a lady gets an abortion, she's not a murderer, she's a damned realist, that's what she is.  That is the single most sane thing a woman in dire straits could do.  Section 8 Housing is not a luxurious lifestyle.  The bravery involved to atone for a mistake is nothing for anyone to judge, it is a private singular conversation.  The mistake is not avoiding motherhood, the mistake is motherhood for some women and they should be allowed to express that freely.  To choose to self-actualize, should not be a crime or a sin. They free themselves from the shackles of their genitals.

Maybe start distributing male birth control as free and mandatory unilaterally?--and then shut the fuck up about abortions so we can move on and finally progress as a real society?--can we do that now?  May we please do that finally?

Do you know how fucked up everything is right now anyways?--why bring a baby into it, if you legit don't want to.  And to hammer it into people pure lies, meanwhile sex sells everything from hamburgers to wine, like fucking get over being brutes already.  Seriously.

You want a better society?--stop protesting in front of abortion clinics and go do some real productive shit mothah' fuckah'.

Since this all just descended into an unstructured rant, I just want to touch upon in conclusion, how fucked up it is that so many women disappointingly embrace makeup and interior design.  Guilty of this myself, I still know that symbolically that small allowance of influence limited to the face and living-room is a big fuck you to our intelligence level ladies.  Your mind is in a box that you're allowed to decorate.
