I'm feeling queasy.

1. I watched a film about trafficking. It was a TV production called True north, which was not particularly well done. But I just couldn't shrug the story off, even though there were some sentimental bits that were hard to stomach (I thought it was very tasteless to throw in a big-time thriller soundtrack into a movie on this topic - as if it were a fucking adventure story). People pay an insane amount of money to travel to some western country while others profiteer on their misery. This gets very little attention. We hear about illegal immigration all the time, quotas, costs, borders, police and security interventions, but the human reality behind it all is mostly ignored or, should we say, repressed.
2. I'm reading a Finnish blog (published a few days ago) in which a bloke intends to disclose the reality of the female psyche. Women, he claims, don't want caring, sober guys who cares about equality. Nope. Women want masculine, violent alphas tearing off their piece. Conclusion? Feminism is just a charade. It is the men who are the real victims in this society. Men do not sexualize women and they don't demand impossible standards of beauty. Women, on the other hand, desire guys who spend half of the day at the gym, the rest being rejected as repulsive and unsuitable for sex. What comes across here is a HUGE portion of misogyny among men who consider themselves nice (who thinks it is a brilliant thing to say "I have never behaved violently in the company of a woman....") and who look down on women as sex-crazed, obsessive creatures whose innermost dream it is to get a good rape. GODDAMMIT! Let's face the truth, dimwits. You're "victimization" thing - "those womenfolk got so much power now boo-hoo" boils down to this: you want your power back and life for you is nothing but a struggle of power where some are strong and some are weak. If you feel bad, it's the Woman who tore you apart. She so STRONG, oh, good, doesn't it hurt so bad? The male who complains that he is not an Alpha-male is simply saying that he wishes he had the guts to be a violent asshole, because that, in his world, is what women want AND HE WANTS WO-MAN (why? WHY? If he loathes them so much?). In the comments field for the blog one guy speaks with the voice of Experience. First he was a meek nerd and then he learned his lesson: if you wanna get laid, you take without asking first & women like it so much. "Since then, there hasn't been a moment where I haven't Got Some." In Finnish, a "kind man" is a man who presents himself as an Exception to the rule (which is violence): but what this shows is merely that violence is presented as an all-encompassing threat that can be resisted only by some very virtuos men (on some occasions). How screwed up is that? The guys who talk about men as being "the oppressed" are saying that they should be considered as some kind of heroes because they say they are not violent. If you are so goddamn kind, you shouldn't have to point it out to the world. I wouldn't comment on this if it weren't such an abrasingly COMMON idea.
