I Am Woman; Hear Me Whine, Bitch, and Moan

Feminism used to promote real empowerment of women and offered a blueprint to achieving equal rights. Today, sadly, all Unicorns share a tear that the Feminist movement is now producing a self-centered generation of whining, miserable misandrists. Instead of showing young women how to be in control of their destiny, modern-day feminists insist that women are too incompetent to own guns and should resort to peeing on attackers to thwart a rape and insist that they should not purchase birth control. Instead, women should rely on a sugar-daddy government to provide this necessity. The new feminist motto appears to be, "I am woman; hear me whine, bitch, and moan."

So when college student entrepreneurs Tyler Confrey-Maloney, Stephen Gray, Ankesh Madan, and Tasso Von Windheim announced an innovative idea for a new start-up business Undercover Colors, a nail polish that detects date-rape drugs, Unicorns would think that feminists would embrace the idea.

On their Facebook page, the creators of Undercover Colors explain the genesis of their nail polish. In the U.S., 18% of women will be sexually assaulted in their lifetime. That's almost one out of every five women in our country. We may not know who they are, but these women are not faceless. They are our daughters, they are our girlfriends, and they are our friends. 

While date rape drugs are often used to facilitate sexual assault, very little science exists for their detection. Our goal is to invent technologies that empower women to protect themselves from this heinous and quietly pervasive crime.

For our first product, we are developing a nail polish that changes color when it comes in contact with date rape drugs such as Rohypnol, Xanax, and GHB. With our nail polish, any woman will be empowered to discreetly ensure her safety by simply stirring her drink with her finger. If her nail polish changes color, she'll know that something is wrong.

However, It appears fembots are not pleased and have been quick to beat the war drums to declare this innovation is merely avoiding rape and not stopping the rape culture they desperately need to sell to make themselves relevant. And while some are giving kudos to these four guys for trying to develop an idea to offer women rape protection, others are simply spewing nonsense. 

One blogger asks, Is your product free? Will if be universally available in bars and on college campuses? What if I’m interested in ensuring not only my safety but also the safety of all the other women who have not heard about — or cannot afford to buy — your nail polish?   Since when did women demand nail polish, a stun gun, or pepper spray be given to them for free?

She goes on to lecture these four entrepreneurs on the true definition of empowering, as seen through a wacko feminist's eyes: It involves giving someone the power to do something. “Giving” is not synonymous with “selling.”   [insert facepalm here]  This logic is so detrimental, perpetuating the myth that women are victims in a patriarchal society and must be "given" something by men instead of purchasing what they need.
