A Great Rebuttal to Neo-Feminism ‘Picking Arguments Where None Exist’
“Are there large swaths of our population who still believe that them there’s work for the menfolk?”

Legal Insurrection’s Kemberlee Kaye penned an excellent article on the problem neo-feminism has in creating issues where there are none. It was in response to a Huffington Post pictorial featuring women doing various jobs. With “12 stunning photos,” HuffPo wanted to “Prove There’s No Such Thing As ‘Men’s Work.’”

The pictures of the women included a butcher, a farmer, an architect, factory workers, and various other occupations involving tools. Along with that was the not-so-subtle implication that most view women incapable of using a shovel. And that led Kaye to ask the obvious question: “Combat fighting aside (which the pictorial post doesn’t address), are there large swaths of our population who still believe that them there’s work for the menfolk?”

This is “a perfect example [of] faux-feminism” Kaye stated. “While the photos are beautifully shot, do they really prove anything?”

And that’s the crux of the whole issue, as Kaye explained:

Neo-feminism insists on picking arguments where none exist to “prove” things not in contest. And it’s supposed to be revolutionary. Or something.

She tells her own story of growing up in “a perfectly traditional household” where her dad worked and mom stayed home taking care of the kids and doing chores. But Kaye remembers doing yard work, hauling firewood, off-roading, and hunting for food.

“There were no jobs allocated to men in our family in which women were unable to participate,” Kaye said. “The expectation was that everyone pull their weight wherever that was needed.”

And though she admits other women may not have had a similar experience, she has never been told she can’t do something because she’s a girl, nor does she know another woman that has.

“There are jobs women typically choose not to do, but choice and ability are two very different issues,” Kaye wrote.

Here’s what annoyed her the most:
