A new year's resolution: stop being so foolish
A new year's resolution: stop being so foolish Date 12/12/2002 12:00 AM | Topic: OpinionThe New Year is around the corner and as I live and learn in this happy place called life - I am amazed by the incredibly foolish talk I hear on this campus. As much as things change, things stay the same.Foolish: All the women who spend hours of time, effort and money attempting to qualify under societal constraints of beauty, accepting that despite equal qualifications, they will work twice as hard as any man and still receive less pay on the basis that they were meant to be baby makers anyway; but will proudly acclaim that men and women are equal and feminists are crazy, man-hating bitches.Foolish: Men and women who think that feminists are psychotic, bra-burning, I-don't-want-to-have-any-babies, lesbian, angry, ugly women. Foolish: Men and women who think that feminists are all women.Foolish: Men whose reaction to an intelligent, assertive voiced woman includes any or all of the following: frigid, bitch, nymphomaniac, slut, needs-to-get-laid, lesbian; somehow thinking that it is appropriate to use a woman's vagina to demean her mind, yet when she reclaims her vagina you are suddenly offended.Foolish: Men who call me immature when I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat.Foolish: People living in a country where masses of resources and materials are available at the touch of a button yet they do not read. Foolish: White men and women who feel justified in using the "N-word" because they have black friends who do.Foolish: People who think and say that white women who work on diversity issues are only seeking the mythically well-endowed black man.Foolish: Men and women who believe in the myth of the "well-endowed black man." Foolish: Educators who think they know enough and are unwilling to learn more and challenge their notions of anything.Foolish: People who think women who take ownership of their bodies and sexuality are psychotic man-haters out to convince other women that they are being raped.Foolish: Men looking for a woman who acts like a saint in public, looks like a model and is a whore in bed.Foolish: Women who try to be that woman.Foolish: Anti-abortionists who support war.Foolish: Men and women who think these are the best years of their life and that Roscoes is a club. Foolish: Men and women who think a woman who is openly affectionate with her friends is a lesbian.Foolish: Men and women who think that to be a successful African student studying in the United States you need to be in the business and economics, computer science and math or science departments. Foolish: Men and women who think that there is no power in grass roots organizing and that "tree-hugging, ribbon-wearing, 'bitching-and-moaning'" activists will never have any power.Foolish: Men and women who patronizingly pat me on the back and tell me "I will grow out of it."Foolish: Men who treat women like a cheap commodity, constantly awaiting your abusive treatment.To the man or woman who questions my intellectual ability on the basis of my sex and gender and/or the color of my skin - you are the biggest fool.As much as things change, they stay the same. A New Year awaits us and the revolution continues. Foolish are those who lag behind refusing to accept and participate in change. Blessed are those who are constantly seeking within and challenging outside of themselves. --Danai MupotsaChips columnist
