To be told how to think, act and behave.
Yup. That's it. That's the gist of it.
That is literally. How. Fucking. Simple. It. Is.
Lately, an online article has come to my attention where writer E. Mackey spends the following 559 words being sweet and kind and utterly chauvinistic. [You can read the full article here]
In the comments, he received both compliments and kind words, as well as "hateful and bitter attacks at [his] character". Whilst he doesn't reveal what those "attacks" are, I can imagine.
Some women can get pretty riled up when you take a handful of them with extremely specific traits, put them on a podium and both insult and condemn the rest.

Dear E. Mackey ,
Now I know that to offend and degrade women was never your intention. Your intentions were kind, and sweet and as you mentioned in your response letter to an uproar of offended females, "written after meeting a woman that possessed all the positive qualities listed above", which is possibly the sweetest thing ever.
But here's where you are wrong (and instead of writing another letter to justify how right you are whilst continuing to paint the picture of a horde of angry, "bitter" and "hateful" women, maybe - just maybe - try to wonder why they're angry to begin with): Instead of writing a letter to that evidently miraculous, graceful woman in your life, you directed and dictated it to all women and assumed that all men would like the traits that you find so appealing.
"I was thinking, the most BEAUTIFUL women are the ones that are selfless. I think that submissive, caring, driven women are so sexy! I love it when I look at a woman’s page (on social media) and it’s nice and sweet. No club pics, no pictures of her in the mirror, no vulgar, drama filled updates… just her. "
I love the way you couldn't just state what you found attractive. No, of course not. You had to tear apart millions of women and condemn their behavior to prove your point.
Then there's this:
"The treatment that they get is part of a contract. That is, spend a little money and a little time and her legs will always be open for you. (Dudes do just enough to keep them interested.)"
So now the whole world knows that these awful women who commit horrendous vulgarities like taking club pictures, mirror pictures and updating her opinion on Facebook are also sex items! Who knew! Not me!
Ladies, take pride in being a WOMAN. Take pride in the fact that you are the backbone of mankind. The power, majesty and beauty of civilization comes from your womb! We (men) recognize that. We long for the woman that understands that as well.
Uh...well...thanks. But last I checked, weren't we part of mankind and civilization.
My offense doesn't come from your points, those are yours to voice. What I do find offensive is the implication that I should change myself for the sake of a man. That I should judge my own value based on the men who find me attractive. That a women is considered good based on few, very specific traits which you find personally attractive.
Mr Mackey, I do not know you, so I cannot question your personal character. I do know that this post came from a good place. But perhaps you can let your opinions shine as they are instead of having to tear people down, and categorize them.
