seriously... this made me INCREDIBLY happy!!!

homosexuality and misogyny

i promised this rant a couple of weeks ago. although, not so much RANT, as my thoughts (as a non-homosexual, non-male, non-woman-hating feminist).

why do these two things interact so badly in our society? Rome was a veritable HOTBED of misogyny, and was also well known for its homosexual tendencies.
and i have mentioned before, somewhere, my thought that there are many gay men who are gay because the want an EQUAL. not necessarily teh cock, but a person who all recognize as his equal. or, as the country singer espoused for women "i wanna man who stands beside me; not in front of or behind me".
women, by societal standards, are LESS THAN men. some may, individually, be equal or better than individual men, but as a group they are less.
and you bastiges out there with the cool Y chromosome are so... so... competitive.

so, its a theory on (some) homosexuality. especially those homosexuals who either overtly hate women (and yes, there are some) and those who CLAIM teh gayz and yet somehow always seem to cheat on their boyfriends with (wait for it - ) gurrls.
(sometimes transgendered. but mostly bio gurrls)

but why is the converse so true? the Roman legions are THEY standard for MANLY MEN. there wimpy 30mile hikes our soldiers take? ha! 60 miles! every day! for a week! with full kit and in full armor! and then every time you pause for any break, total entrenchment! those roman lads were THE MANLY MENZ. and, for the most part, they were at least situationally homosexual.

now... somehow, all gay men are "pussys" (because, again, women are LESS THAN). they are all "wimps". "girly men" (see? call it girly, it is less than you)
somehow, a couple lines out of Leviticus, condeming "unnatural acts" (and how UNNATURAL are those acts when between 3 and 10% of ALL mammals engage in them anyway?) are MORE IMPORTANT than the OVER SIX HUNDRED TIMES "usury" was declaimed. or all the other laws - like adultry, which i am now morally convinced not a single republican and very few democratic politicians can avoid. isn't ADULTRY, one of the Big Ten, more important than being gehz?

the proscription on homosexuality is placed upon a small tribe, one that has lost many members and needs to produce more members.

but even if you want to argue against the historical analysis of the WHY of the laws, why the HELL do you pick and choose which are good and which are bad (butt-sex with men, bad; raping small girls, good; abortion, bad; genocide, good; etc). when how many of the TOP TEN are ignored? lets see if i can remember them all (i never can. i am not christian, have never been christian, and my bibble is packed.)
1.I am the lord thy God, have no gods before me.
-Check. you are the biggest god, and we worship no other gods before we worship you. worship of Yaweh is at 10am, worship of money at 12pm, satanic ritual at 2pm. and note, all of this STILL follows the base injunction here.
-but He meant there were no OTHER gods, so don't worship them! really? then why didn't "He" say so? this is what he said.
2.Though shall not worship graven images or idols.
-check. let me look up "graven". oh, engraved. but maybe you mean "made" images, and i just don't have the vocabulary i should. or maybe it was badly translated. so, i will say this is really "made" images. and as every good Catholic knows, you aren't worshiping the STATUE, you are worship what the statue represents!
3.Keep the Sabbath Holy
-check. which day is that again? Friday? Saturday? Sunday? i like wendsdays, m'self. when i take over, its gonna change... whole new meaning to "hump day". in the mean time, keep (whichever) Sabbath "Holy". whatever that means
4. don't take the Lord's name in vain
-um, non-check? i say "Goddamnit!" a lot. but is "god" the name, or the job title? hrm... what is "God's" name? Allah? Yaweh? JHVD? i don't say any of them (cant even PRONOUNCE the last) so mebe it IS a check
5.Honor thy mother and father
-check. be polite and respectful to you parents. i VERY repectfully tell my dad he's a jackass, and my mom thats shes over protective and over bearing. and, somehow, our communication has improved and we have all recieved bettr xmas gifts because of this
6.don't steal
-check. unless i, or a baby, is starving to death or i am a megacorporation or major world government. oh, wait, starving isn't an excuse to steal??? um, wait, i saw this in a movie... "Forgive me father for i have sinned i stole a jar of baby food to feed my youngest sister because she hadn't eaten in almost a day" better now?
7. don't murder
-check. murder is unjustified killing. make sure all the killings you do are justified. mine are *giggle*
8. do not covet thy neighbors wife
-check. i am a straight girl, never seen another woman who i "coveted" not even my neighbors wofe. so, no adultry for me. and guys, please note - just WANTING a married woman means you are in contempt of this sin
9. you shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor
-check, when i am hauled into court, don't lie. or questioned by authority. and really, its lying about OTHERS... the 5th ammendment is still okay
10 Do not covet thy neighbors ass
-or donkey or goat or ox... okay, its not just animals you cannot covet here. also, male and female slaves, fields and houses. or anything that belongs to your neighbor. so, check.

wow, these are the top ten, that got thrown out when Jesus showed up and say "Fuck it! have a drink and be excellent to each other! thats it! love! LOVE! Love me, love God, but mostly LOVE EACH OTHER"
for which he was promptly killed.

and the the pauline faction took over and turned christianity into a mysoginistic bastardized faith, that bore little resemblence to what The Man had said. and he hated (shocker!) women and gays. yep, these were issues in 150AD (when most of the bibble was written was waaaaaaaaaaay after jesus died, and most of it was either done by paul or at paul's direction, and the apostels who were left wouldn't join with him because he didn't preach what jesus did and thought he was a jackass. BUT he won the paper war...)

so, don't blame christianity. its a nice, peaceful loving religion that was BRUTALLY HIJACKED by MEAN DESPIABLE FUCKTARDS who only wanted ALL TEMPORAL, SECUALR AND SACRED POWER, and thus turned to villinize their main opponent at the time - Rome.

how did they vilify rome? (the group that the Jews had turned too to save them not long before Jesus was born? who continued to protect most jews?) by attacking the "unnatural appetites and practices" of the 'elite" (and, consequently, the Legions...)

so thats why mysogony hates teh gehz. because they are threatened by the Roman Empire
oh wait... sorry, same rhetoric, wrong millinium
