The Social Network

On Saturday me and Nathan went to see The Social Network. I thought it was very interesting and a great story. I did however have a problem with the way women were portrayed in the movie. There was a "killjoy feminist", a million brainless Harvard party sluts, an insanely jealous Asian girlfriend, some Victoria's Secret models, and girls who gave blowjobs in the bathroom of a bar. The story fails to mention all of the women who helped make Facebook successful (uh Mark Zuckerberg's sister?!). Zuckerberg also apparently had a med school girlfriend who did so much for the company and she's not part of the story at all. Anyway, I did enjoy the movie but I found it interesting that this happened. There was a discussion about it on Jezebel.com and I found a link to another discussion about the portrayal of women in the film. This comment was posted in response to the article...


If women spent half as much time trying to change the world as they do bitching and moaning, then maybe they would accomplish something. But the reality is, that men are the ones who change the world and they have been since the beginning of time. Zukerberg is just on in a long line of them.

Instead of whining about how women are portrayed in this movie, why don't you ask yourself, why women are viewed as sexed up plastic dolls, airheads, self obsessed victims, hangers on, gold diggers and ball busters. Then you might want to do some investigating. First thing you do is turn on the tv. Then get on your facebook and look at how women portray themselves, then watch a little Real Housewives or Kim Kardashian. Then get back with me on why women are portrayed badly in movies about men who change the world.

I find this man's thoughts very insightful. It is so true, we all know that women are only good for making babies and sometimes dinner for their husbands. Women are certainly only viewed as whiny, gold diggin' ball busters because that is all we do! We should stop complaining and sit back and let the men just do their jobs in peace. I know that all of the woman I am friends with on Facebook certainly make themselves out to be slutty bimbos. He's so right. In fact I can't recall one woman in the history of mankind who has done anything significant like some of those great men. Genghis Khan blows someone like Virginia Woolf out of the water any day. Do you know how many people that man killed? It was epic. Even if a woman could be a genius, she probably would waste her talent by spending most of her time moaning and bitching to her male superiors. When I turn on the TV and see people like the Real Houswives and Kim Kardashian, I know that their self image and close mindedness issues are completely the fault of the female population. I feel bad for the male producers who have to put up with their idiotic drama all of the time and even more so for the everyday men who have to put up with their countless media propaganda. In conclusion, I know that women are the heart of the problem when it come to the horrible issues we have. We should have never marketed ourselves as sex objects thousands of years ago. If women had not have chosen the path of slavery, sex objectification, prostitution, being uneducated, underpaid, and generally idiotic people, we may have stood a chance in today's world to make something of ourselves and change the world through some great invention like Facebook. For now ladies, lets just keep our mouths shut and our legs closed and try not to make our image any worse. We need to let the men focus on all of the great changes in the world happening today.
