I copied and pasted the “conclusion” below, as the entire article she needed me to print out for her is extremely lengthy.

CONCLUSION:

The present study examined feminists’ compared to nonfeminists’ attitudes toward men and whether there are ethnic variations in the relationship between feminist identification and attitudes toward men. Nonfeminists reported higher levels of hostility toward men than did feminists.  Perhaps nonfeminists, similar to the women in genderstratified nations in Glick et al. (2004), support a system in which women are simultaneously required to privilege men, while tending to resent their differential power. Studies with predominantly White participants have found that hostility toward men and benevolence toward men are correlated with sexist attitudes toward women (Glick & Fiske, 1999). Thus, those who believe that men should protect women and that women should take care of men at home also tend to believe that women need protection because they are inferior to men.  The frequent claims that feminism is a form of male bashing and that feminists are man haters have the combined effect of serving the forces of institutional and individual sexism and, at the same time, interrupting the potential for solidarity between women in its apparent pitting of one woman against another in competition for men (see Cataldi, 1995). In general, feminism, whether in the form of ideological systems, women’s studies courses, or individual attitudes and behavior, does not express or promote the idea that men are bad.  Feminism, in addition to providing a set of core values of equal access to power, prestige, and resources, critiques not individual men but instead the underlying systems that produce male domination and privilege. As Cataldi (1995) has argued, oversimplifying and overgeneralizing feminism as male bashing trivializes and belittles the difficult and complex work involved in social critique and social movements. The man-hater stereotype serves as a scare tactic to frighten people away from the notion of feminism, even when their actual values and beliefs might be characterized as feminist.

She’s also asking me to take a survey.  I think you guys would have a good time with this:

Isn’t it hilarious how the “Conservatism” section is separated from the rest of them?  “These items serve to contrast with feminist items”, so fragging what!?  Maybe that’s a good thing!  When she asked if I’d take the test, I just laughed.  I’m not being tested by her…in more ways than one.

The amount of stupidity is over 9000!

(My choice: Single.)

___1___3. Using “man” to mean both men and women is one of many ways sexist language destroys women’s existence.
(Horse apples! “Man is short for “mankind” and not … oh hell, why bother.)

___1___4. Making women economically dependent on men is capitalism’s subtle way of encouraging heterosexual relationships.
(Ain’t no women dependent on me — except for my tax dollars going to all those welfare mothers, but I guess that doesn’t count.)

___1___5. Prostitution grows out of the male culture of violence and male values of social control.
(Every culture on Earth has some form of prostitution. It’s built in to the human race.)

(Incompetence and chronic disruption of the workplace have lots more to do with it.)

___1___7. Homosexuals need to be rehabilitated into normal members of society.
(They do their thing. I do my thing. What they do is up to them only, as long as they don’t try to coerce me into anything.)

___7___8. People should define their marriage and family roles in ways that make them feel most comfortable.

(There will always be prostitutes, in one form or another.)

____1__11. Putting women in positions of political power would bring about new systems of government that promote peace.

___1___12. Women of color have less legal and social service protection from being battered that White women have.
(Not these days they don’t.)

___1___13. It is a man’s right and duty to maintain order in his family by whatever means necessary.

(And who are these angels who are taking care of her biological children while she is away?)

___1___15. The workplace is organized around men’s physical, economic, and sexual oppression of women.
(In fact, the opposite is true these days. Unless it is a dangerous, dirty, or difficult job. Those the males can have.)

___7___20. Homosexuality is not a moral issue, but rather a question of liberty and freedom of expression.
(The more males who are out of the closet, the less competition for me. The more females out of the closet, the fewer false starts for me.)

___1___21. Men use abortion laws and reproductive technology to control women’s lives.

___7___26. Women should try to influence legislation in order to gain the right to make their own decisions and choices.
(In a democracy, yes — but only if males get to do the same.)

___1___27. Men prevent women from becoming political leaders through their control of economic and political institutions.
(It’s because they can’t get a majority of votes, and women are the majority.)

___1___28. Capitalism forces most women to wear feminine clothes to keep a job.
(Women do that voluntarily. Capitalism makes it available. You can’t get feminine clothes or cosmetics in socialist dictatorships, unless you are the wife of a high official who can afford to import it.)

___1___29. Rape is best stopped by replacing the current male-oriented culture of violence with an alternative culture based on more gentle, womanly qualities.
(You will never persuade a sociopath, except with the certainty of capture and punishment.)

As for the survey, I started laughing at question #3.  #4, exactly who is doing this?  #5, prostitution is about violence?  I thought it was about sex.

#6 No.  No one is oppressed until they are actually oppressed.

#7  No

#8 No, they should come to an agreement on what works, not what gives them nice feels.

#9 Sex role stereotypes are a symptom of women behaving in a way that matches said stereotype.

#10 No.  Prostitution will end when women stop accepting money for sex or when women start having sex with no strings attached.

#11  Hell no.  Instead of having wars over oil, we will have wars about what country A said about company B when we thought they weren’t listening.

#12 I have no idea.

#13 Not by whatever means necessary.  I see what you tried to do there.

#14 No.

#15 No.  It’s organized to get the job done at the lowest cost.

#16 No.  Capitalism hinders a poor person’s chance to do anything.  It doesn’t seek out women.

#17 You can do whatever you want with that.

#18 WTF?

#19 No.  Assertiveness gets s~~~ done.  If you want to get s~~~ done, be assertive.

#20 Neither.

#21  I think you got the words men and women mixed up there.

#22 It’s that evil biology, not capitalism.

#23 You would think that be true, but it’s the exact opposite.

#24 Why do women of color have special needs when it comes to rape?

#25 No

#26 You already have the right to make your own choices.

#27 No

#28 No.  How the hell does economic policy influence women’s fashions?

#29 Rape is best stopped the same way car theft is best stopped.  Don’t have your valuables exposed for everyone to see.  Don’t park in it in bad neighborhood, and keep it locked.

#30 discrimination has greater potential for whoever is the minority at your workplace.

#31 Don’t make me laugh.

The survey should be titled “What kind of nut job” are you.  Didn’t intend to go through the whole list, but there, it happened.

______7. Homosexuals need to be rehabilitated into normal members of society.

Tell her: what does she mean normal? and that your were deeply offended by her extremely heinous displays of homophobia in phrasing the question in such a way.

Let her hamster that one up for a bit.

Couldn’t read everything…

The amount of stupidity is over 9000!

I did read everything, I concur with your assessment.

Her: “I don’t think that’s something you should be listening to, especially here!”  She said it in a semi-sarcastic tone (she’s “playful” by nature apparently), but I knew she meant it regardless.

Fast-forward to just about an hour ago.  I go into the file room (where she works) and she’s watching a video by Ted Talks titled “why everyone should be a feminist.”  It took SO much in me not to tell her the same exact thing.  Then again, I’d rather not lose my job over something so trivial.

One other random occurrence earlier:  She brought me a file that she needed me to look up and asked what I know about it.  Well, the name of the person who’s file I was researching was named “Jennifer.”  When I told her “well, it’s a female,” the student worker told me I was “gender stereotyping.”  Good sweet mother of pearl, Tumblr in real life.

Furthermore, these f~~~ing surveys had to be invented by women, because they are f~~~ing worthless as any kind of assessment. God I hate colleges for encouraging this bulls~~~. F~~~ing c~~~s everywhere and all I want is for them to shut the f~~~ up.
