Interesting how feminists can get away with writing shit like that while if anyone else wrote a book called "are women necessary" they would basically be lynched. 

Why is it politically correct to portray men & fathers as stupid, worthless, and inept, and at the same time portraying women, mothers, and girls as sensible, intelligent, etc?

Think of some major American TV shows for a second, and think which gender gets portrayed as stupid, inept, weak, or lazy.  How about The Simpsons? Homer Simpson is a total idiot, Bart Simpson is a total idiot, most of the other men in the program are idiots, many of them are fat, lazy, stupid, and get made fun of constantly.  The women in the program? Lisa Simpson, Marge Simpson, and many of the other women in the program are portrayed as intelligent, reasonable, etc.  That isn't the only example, look at other shows too.  The show Everyone Loves Raymond is another example.  The wife is always intelligent and reasonable, and the husband is always stupid and lucky to have her.

Then, as soon as any TV show portrays women or any other group of people or 'minority' negatively, the libfags and politically correct police rush to their assistance.

These 2 quotes led me to believe you have something against the west.
"African culture is more "ethical" in the sense that they are less geared toward selfish individualism and more geared towards selfish collectivism"

"This notion that any culture is doing better than the other is kinda silly in the sense that each seem to be so different with their own problems"

Firstly these 2 quotes are contradictory, if cultures have different problems, then one system of ethics would not work in another and thus you cannot judge whether one culture has a superior system of ethics or not. This is a double standard in opposition to the transfer of culture from the west to africa regardless of what it is specifically.

Secondly as I explained only the environment cannot be changed socially, culture can be changed and there is nothing wrong with this so there is no reason why elements of western culture cannot be beneficial to Africans purely because they came from another culture.

Thirdly the claim that Africans have superior ethics was poor as there was no explanations as to why a collectivist culture based on mother figures has superior ethics. This is excessive hyperbole indeed when you neglect to even explain your reasonning.

I know I'm being mean, but that's why I characterized your statements.
