I re-picked up a book that I bought as a freshmen in college. I can't believe I read this whole thing! It is called the Power of Beauty by Nancy Friday. Here is a quote from the book, this particular quote is from sex educator Judith Seifer. This is just yet another thought exercise to show how nutty and departed from reality feminists are.
"Girl babies are plopped on a toilet, they're not to look at themselves, they're not to touch themselves, but they are instructed that this is a body function they must manage, control.... Girl babies are given a consistent message of contamination, that what you have down there is dark, it's dirty, you don't touch it. After they do urinate the next thing they are taught to do is to wipe themselves clean with lots of toilet paper, and then to wash, wash their hands until clean. Boys, on the other hand, are taught to hold their penis, to aim it, and we give them great praise when the stream of urine hites the toilet bowl."
There you have it. Potty training oppresses women. Not only that, but
hygenic potty training, i.e. a girl wiping herself and washing her hands, oppresses women.
Good god. How the hell else are you supposed to potty train. Duhhh, boys need "aim." Duhhh, girls need to wipe themselves after urinating, and boys don't. That somehow adds to this widespread cultural obsession that vaginas are "dirty."
Ok, here is a FEMINIST version of potty training girls, re-done by me to appease feminist paranoia.
Plop girl babies on a toilet, and tell them to play with themselves the whole time they pee. Don't worry about your baby controlling this bodily function, have her pee when the spirit moves her. What is down there is totally natural and beautiful, bask in it. Don't wash after you pee, are you paranoid that it's dirty or something!? Don't wash your hands either, hey ... the body is beautiful. When you teach boys to pee, don't praise them when the pee hits the toilet bowl, the only way women can be liberated is if boys can't pee in the toilet.
I remember reading this book as a freshman, kind of. The only thing I really picked up from it was "Beauty is important, if you can use it to your advantage, do it." Although, the author clearly had a different message. The book seriously confused me about some things. I don't even want to go into them. Ideological books like this should be kept out of young people's hands (younger than 21), and only mature adults who can discern between right and wrong, and are already done forming, and can tell when author's are being more descriptive than literal, should be allowed to read this junk.
