Excellent and very astute and extremely accurate observation of the devastation brought upon this country by feminism! It is shameful that men have allowed it to happen.
It is time, actually past time, for men, real men, to rise up and correct this pathetic situation!
We do not have to be tolerant of it. Men had their reasons to tolerate it that I think resides in the weakness and vulnerability of men who have very low levels of virtue and virility!
Let us rise up, take control with virtue, Valor, character, strength, and authority of manhood and drive the feminist out of areas of influence in our society and inspire or women to choose the dignity and strength of true womanhood and bless this world with their true essence and value to children that they bear and families that they, as helpmeets to their husbands, build that will bless the family to survive for generations in the future.
To be sure, feminism has been destructive in many ways that have divided people in many ways.
However, men didn’t discover all math and science, exclusively, nor did they build everything, exclusively.
In fact, most women who have discovered various mathematical concepts or been great leaders have been torn apart, either figuratively or literally, by men.
Look at the story of Hypatia? Or, Hatshepsut’s successful reign as pharaoh, smashed by jealous successors?
A part of feminism that is correct is that women do much, but get very little credit for discoveries or other work.
This is one of the main problems with manism, which is what sparked feminism.
A return to a system, where a girl who is raped early on, labeled a harlot, and thus forced into becoming a sex worker, will not right the world.
Magdalena homes in Ireland were tiny pockets of hell, created to stigmatize and punish the victims of misogynistic Church policies and values. That’s just one example.
How about a different world, where women are celebrated for being mothers and problem solvers, while men are celebrated as supportive and protective, in addition to innovative and productive, wherein both can be leaders?
The Iroquois had such a society:
*In the Iroquois tribes, women held an honored role in society. They were believed to be linked to the earth's power to create life. As such, they decided how food was distributed among the tribe. Women were also allowed to pick the sachems for the confederacy. Tribes traced family lineage from the mother, and when members of the tribe were married, they moved into the mother's longhouse.*
Feminism’s mistake was in convincing women to gain power by acting like men, instead of freeing them to be more powerful women.
Madame Curie is a trailblazing example of both a strong mother and a brilliant scientist. She need not be the exception.
These are all fine points. Marie Curie is the go-to example we're all aware of. But nobody doubts the one-off examples. The reality is that it IS the case that the material infrastructure of the world was built by men and that nearly all scientific or mathematical discoveries of significance were accomplished by men. This isn't a knock on women, or an argument that some women can't do these things. It's an observation that they didn't. Men did.
One other observation, or perhaps a question, why do you suppose that the goal for women (or for anybody, for that matter) should be to make them "more powerful?" I think the essence of feminism was that it tacitly set "power" as its goal, to the detriment of things that matter in life.
Men are so fucking pathetic. What a load of garbage.
Yeah, those dumb bitches who made wife-beating and child marriage illegal destroyed the beautiful relationship that men had over women, largely completely economic, political, and physical control. Countries all around the world have to pass laws to criminalize 60 year old men marrying 10 year olds.
Aw, remember the good ol’ days when men could beat women to death legally under paterfamilias or walk out the door, leaving her sentenced to a life poverty while raising children and forced prostitution like in Industrial Age England?
These people are delusional. Nobody wants to be honest about male stupidity, male violence, legal history, or how males really behave. And if men are so rational, as they've been saying for centuries, why can't they pull themselves up by their bootstraps and control themselves? Because they're not.
Go talk to the Taliban about how life-affirming they think women are. What a fucking joke.
"Without such powerful social forces channeling men’s sexual conduct, men’s libido would yield widespread promiscuity, fatherlessness, delinquency, criminality, and decay. Men would not raise their own children, leaving women nearly helpless to do so on their own. There would be no civilization."
Want to describe what you're actually saying and which group?
You people are such pathetic cowards. "Blue city"? Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire and some of the bluest states in the country. They have the lowest crime rates and none of those things.
When I was a teenager, I watched the movie 300 about the Spartans. (I think that was the name.) I was so enamored with what those women did for their husbands and sons. They babies them for a bit and then pushed them and expected them to succeed. Only strong women can do that. I have always taken shite from other women because I wanted to stay in the background while pushing my husband and my sons to succeed. It felt natural to me. I'm just over here waiting for men to stand back up, dust themselves off, stop apologizing (without being assholes), and get us out of this mess. They've abdicated. Time to move forward.
He's at work. I'm not. He's also a capable grown ass man. He doesn't need me to wipe his butt. Doesn't mean I haven't helped him get where he is in life, which is not where he started. It's always hilarious to me that other women get so angry that a woman can have agency AND choose to stay home and help her family. Our ancestors fought for us to have freedom. We have it. No one forced me to be here. I chose it. And, I'd choose the same thing over and over again. I know this is hard to believe, but I was even "allowed" 😂 to get a degree. It's a backup or another choice should I choose to use it. I don't. Guess you'll have to cope.
Who's angry? You're the one who sounds angry, dear. The lady doth protest too much.
Why did you need a degree? Who do you think made that possible? When you find out he spent the kids' college funds on OnlyFans pics, you'll be singing a different tune. And guess who you'll run to for help? LOL
Go cook and then get ready to wipe his butt. That's what you should be doing, not leaving comments online and trolling for attention.
Oh, my. I can tell you've never met a decent man. It's not them. It's you. Sorry you have to work and have no one to take care of you. And, I know women like you who are hoping my husband dies or something, but we have a hefty life insurance plan and we've been married for 26 years. We're still best friends. Jealousy is as ugly as it is obvious. I have no intention of wasting one more second on you. You have a good day now, ya hear? 😘
Married 26 years? How old are you? Instead of taking care of your family, you're this age trolling for attention?
Get off the computer and go make sure the kitchen is clean right now because when he tries to throw you out for the upgrade, it's not going to be pretty. The only ones fighting to get you any spousal support will be lawyers, and guess who made them possible?
Men who cry about feminism are just unfuckable losers who can't get a match on Tinder, and women who defend loser men are hypocritical phonies who take advantage of what feminists fought for and then seek male approval because they're dumb.

Excellent writing, points made with great clarity. Loved the piece. Fred - CRISIS
Loved the subtitle. Laughed out loud.
"I can't get laid. The West has fallen."

Just play Call of Duty and shut up.
Proving your point in the alternative, the Barbarians at the gates are all men...
"Without such powerful social forces channeling men’s sexual conduct, men’s libido would yield widespread promiscuity, fatherlessness, delinquency, criminality, and decay. Men would not raise their own children, leaving women nearly helpless to do so on their own. There would be no civilization."
You've described every blue city in America.

Stupid men need to shut up.
Indeed.

Who's taking care of your husband while you're online? Why are you even allowed to use the internet?
He's at work. I'm not. He's also a capable grown ass man. He doesn't need me to wipe his butt. Doesn't mean I haven't helped him get where he is in life, which is not where he started. It's always hilarious to me that other women get so angry that a woman can have agency AND choose to stay home and help her family. Our ancestors fought for us to have freedom. We have it.

Pure, sheer phoniness and hypocrisy. Sad to see.

Good luck, lady.
“The only ones fighting to get you any spousal support will be lawyers, and guess who made them possible?”
Men.
That’s the answer you were thinking of, right?
Well said, Brandy. I think Ms. Highsmith has proven the main point of my essay.
LOL yeah sure I proved your point.
Men who cry about feminism are just unfuckable losers who can't get a match on Tinder, and women who defend loser men are hypocritical phonies who take advantage of what feminists fought for and then seek male approval because they're dumb.
Thanks, everyone!
A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.
She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
She gets up while it is still night;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her female servants.
She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
“Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Honor her for all that her hands have done,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
Prov 31:10-31, NRSV
