I Male Whore

By Smedley Butler: Hi, I'm a whore. I was born into this world whole, and the day after I was born my genitals were mutilated and I lost the first piece of myself... my cries and screams were ignored as I bled. My first experience in this world was pain... so I learned early how to push it down and ignore it like I was taught men are "supposed" to do. I was told that I have to initiate every romantic encounter, and that a woman will not ask me out, so I gathered my confidence and had to face potential rejection time and time again from "sluts" who are unaware that men have feelings too in the slim hope that one of them might be gracious enough to make me pay for their food and time by taking them out on a date... I was told I needed to be strong and brave, so I joined the Marines.... I made myself a whore, and I left more of my body parts in Iraq, like a man is "supposed" to do. I was told that I need to be a protector, I was told that a woman desires a "real man".... I am forever cursed with the burden of heavy lifting, or dealing with the intruder in the kitchen. I only became what I was told I should be.... Now my aggression that has protected you is considered to be unstable, My braveness that inspired you has become insanity. When I assert myself, I become a monster, a violator of freewill, and a gear in the patriarchal cog.

At 5'11'' and 150lbs, I am constantly reminded that I am skinny and small, and therefore weak.... the word that all men have been trained to fear.... My tears are considered weak... my feelings are disregarded.... My honor rendered moot. "Sluts" with large vaginal openings feel the need to remind me how much penis size matters, while failing to realize that sex is a puzzle with TWO pieces, not one.
I am to be constantly judged by potential mates not on my personality or spirit, but my ability to provide them material wealth. If another war comes, I am the one who has to fight it and I might not come back....


My body is a temple, but it is not mine... It is God's... and I have desecrated it. You cry about narcissism and then a few breaths later you claim to be God.... I am not God, and neither are you.
You are a slut, and I am a whore..... I am a man.... and I am a whore... and it was all for you.

I just wanted to show people that sexism, and "oppression" is a two way street....

OK, well in case someone was confused, they might read what I wrote and understand...

I just want to do a thought experiment with you really quick...

I want you to say the word sexism in your head three times and then pay attention to the images and thoughts that come in your head. Pay very close attention....


If you don't understand the purpose of this, then I want you to take it one step further and say the word racism three times in your head, then do the same thing by paying close attention to the thoughts and images that come into your head..... hopefully by this time you'll understand.

If you feel like sharing them, then I would encourage you to.
