Songtext zu 'Typical Male' von Consolidated

The continuing saga of male control and domination,
Of psychosexual and economic manipulation in our society.
The historical male condition is one of deceptive coercion and violence:
And the woman's fate is too often one of resignation and silence.

The typical male thinks with his dick.
That's how he rationalises shallow sexual conquest as a means of self-expression and fulfillment in a world of alienation and emptiness under modern capitalism.
However, the typical male considers a similarly promiscuous woman a whore, slut, or skeeze.

The typical male likes a submissive woman; one who is given to shallow sexual experience but is not demanding.
A woman who demands respect or demands commitment in a relationship is often facing rejection by the typical male.

Historically, some characteristics of the typical male are as follows:
There is the stereotypical Brutal, Assaulting, Barbaric Male, the one that's obsessed with violence, the one we see in Hollywood movies, you are most accustomed to it.
We also have what is now known as the 'Sensitive' Rapist, one who wants to feel like there is a mutual understanding before he entraps the woman in a cycle of codependent sexual service.
Then there's the Pseudo-Feminist, who may be committed to a woman, who may even be involved in the Women's Movement, but still oppresses by including his own self-serving Patriarchal agenda in the situation.

He may be from any racial or class background, from any religious or sexual orientation. All of these characteristics may and often do overlap, thereby adding a deceptively complex dimension to the Typical Male analysis.

The typical male listens to a woman from a position of dominance or privilege.
What this means to the woman is that the typical male does. not. listen.

The typical male conditions women to blame themselves for a failing relationship, or for male infidelity.

The typical male enslaves women in the working-place as well, forcing women to tolerate sexual harassment in exchange for unequal compensation and status.

The typical male is reactionary, conservative, a Klansman standing in Operation Rescue's picket lines.
The typical male is also a liberal; he supports pro-choice, why not?
He impregnates women and can't deal with the consequences of parenthood.

In a society where the incidence of rape and sexual assault are staggering, the typical male will still say, "If she don't want to get pregnant she shouldn't spread her legs."

In the U.S. alone,where four women a day are killed by men, and every 18 seconds a woman is battered, typical males still find misogynistic music and comedy appropriate.

In a potentially sexual situation, the typical male cannot act responsibly.
The typical male thinks NO means YES.

Carol Adams:
The majority of all rapes are committed by people who knew their victims. Coworkers, friends, relatives, neighbors, dates and classmates.

Typical male: thinks with his dick..
