Examples of feminism wrecking our society

[BetterCallSaul]

I would like to start a thread where anyone can post various sayings or trends you recall over the years that demonstrate how feminism has adversely affected women by changing how they think for the worse when it comes to relations with men. Feminism, for those unaware, is usually agreed to have really gotten its start back in the 1960s with much of the typical hippie movement found throughout the country. I will say that for historical purposes, some might consider tracing this back to the 1920s when both women's suffrage gained success as well as prohibition of alcohol around the same time, a lot of the latter championed by women due to living with husband's who were drunk a lot and subsequently beaten.

I won't get into a debate about the 1920s stuff I mentioned and that isn't what this thread is about. It's about what modern feminism has done to undermine the traditional family structure under the guise of "empowering" women thus trying to make men seem inferior, denegrate them through shame and seek to support whatever behavior a woman feels is justifiable at any time.

So I'll start. I've noticed that this site tends to have a lot of younger guys (meaning late teens and 20s) so I guess I'm already on the older guys side of things. I'll try to recall a couple of things I remember from my younger years to help illustrate how this movement has continued to erode our society. Please understand most of the stuff I'm talking about here is mainly targeted toward people in LTRs or are married.

Closure - As in, seeking closure for a failed relationship; trying to figure out what went wrong. The problem here is that even a lot of guys these days are using this same term and trying to understand where something failed. Hell even on this site I've noticed that some guys when they ask for advice even integrate this into their thinking and I've seen others OFFER advice with "closure" as part of it. Men should be able to see what's going on in their relationship. We like to consider ourselves pretty simple to satisfy right? Keep us fed, keep us f*cked, keep the drama out and good night's sleep and that covers the majority of it. So why is it suddenly we need this complex ordeal of analysing stuff? If you're single and out having a good time, move on. You've got plates right? Don't deal with this drama in your life. It induces stress on you and takes away your energy to deal with some woman who wants to either manipulate you into one last good splurge of you being her emotional tampon or so she can keep you orbiting just a little while longer while that new branch is being put securely in place. If you're in a LTR or are married, you and your girlfriend or wife should be working out so well together that you're not doing stupid sh*t to cause the other to wonder "what are they doing?" or "why can't he/she tell me x?" When you love someone, you don't want to cause them undue hardship, pain or stress. A good woman will not f*ck around with your feelings or emotions.

Mr. Right Now - Remember this one? Every woman always wants Mr. Right, but some years ago the catchy phrase Mr. Right Now came out to allow women some kind of justifiable reason to ride the c*ck carousel at any age. Look, it's expected that young women will do this. Young people are new to sex, curious, want to explore stuff...we've ALL been there. But at some point you continue to grow as a person, mature, become more reliable, more stable, build a better foundation for yourself and the life you want and ideally you'd find a partner who shares similar values. But the inherent problem comes out when media, tv shows or movies show women in their 30s (or older) claiming to espouse this value of just looking for Mr. Right Now in some kind of quest. And because all the women in this little circle of friends are engaging in the same behavior, it's ok even in spite of the fact they may be involved in some kind of LTR. Here on SS, even many guys who offer advice tend to agree that you probably shouldn't mess around with another man's woman too hard. Sure, we've seen some situations where field reports indicate that she "says" she has a boyfriend, but who knows for sure. That's a typical instinctive reaction that might not be true. If you're in an exclusive LTR, and you've both agreed to what you expect of the other, then it's vitally important that each respect the other.

Ladies Night Out - Hey sometimes we all need to get away for a while from some kind of monotony. Sometimes this is the only way to maintain our sanity. But when it gets twisted into yet another excuse that, since the ladies are all hanging out with one another, it's ok to go making out with some other guy or even maybe having a quickie in the bathroom at some club. In a LTR, feminism still likes to "empower" women that if you want to ride the carousel, it's still ok...you know, cause you're a woman.

Male/Female Salary Inequality - Little "studies" like this come out almost every year and year after year they tend to show the same results: men make more then women. Women, mostly feminists, bemoan that they should make the same, if not more, than men. Here are a couple of actual facts I'd like to toss in. First, working with women is in many ways the same as dating them because a lot of women tend to like drama. When you combine this sadistic quality of enjoying drama with the typical politics found in the workplace, well it's usually a disaster. From my own personal experience after being in the workforce for about 20 years I can confirm this. I am thankful that right now I work in an environment heavily dominated by men; the drama is minimal, we get our work done pretty effectively, maybe we argue and yell but we move on, and best of all during some downtime we can tell the occasional sexist joke and not have to worry about some HR drone or woman getting worked up over some pre-conceived notion that she was somehow targeted by it. The second fact is that when you look at women today who are middle aged (hell even young ones actually), they want a man who is financially secure or financially independent. A woman wants a guy who has a lot of money because she knows he has resources to provide for her. Well guess what? Money doesn't grow on the f*cking money tree planted in our backyards. We have to work our a$$es off for it usually and a lot of it is so we can maybe show you a good time so that you'll put out or to otherwise support our family. Oh, and a third fact I just thought of: capitalism. An employer should be free to pay each employee what they feel he/she is worth. If most women tend to make less than most men, maybe the women should actually try and work harder.

Sperm banks - Modern medicine can be great but like any tool it can be a double-edged sword. Enter the "modern woman", a career-minded go-getter climbing the corporate ladder, getting that corner executive office by the time she's 35 yet feels she's still missing something in her life. "Hey I know, I'll just head down the sperm bank, get some samples so I can get pregnant and that'll fill the void in my life". I think we all know where this is leading. She's going to end up in exactly the same place as some divorced middle aged woman with kids looking for a "nice" guy, who is of course in shape and financially secure and then wonders why she can't find him...she's a great catch too! Sperm banks can be good too, such as couples who have trouble conceiving, but it's when these feminist, single women enter the scene that this too contributes to the spiraling downfall of male/female relations.

The Bumbling Idiot Husband/Boyfriend - Ever notice this in a lot of typical sitcoms that are on tv today? I myself do not watch any tv anymore. If I watch something, it's a show I specifically pick via the internet or a service like Netflix. My daughter still watches some different shows but this is nothing new. A show will star some typical American family, the man of the house is some bumbling idiot who couldn't manage to make toast without burning the house down while the woman is the successful breadwinner who manages to not only bring home the bacon but also gets the kids ready for school, go to all their school events, and keep the house in top shape. She might nag a lot, but she gets her way because of everything else she does and the man in the show follows her lead. Like I said, I don't watch this crap but the fact remains that these types of shows are widely aired all over. People can be receptive to this type of programming and attempt to integrate it into their life. I'd like to contrast this to an older show, All in the Family starring Archie Bunker, who is portrayed as a very conservative, blue collar worker. He takes pride in being a man, taking care of his family, conservative American values with pride in his country, yet at every avenue from his kids and wife, they attack his beliefs as being outdated or just not in touch with how people think "today". Mind you "today" is around 1971, but the point is that this is nothing new. Archie could be bullheaded sometimes, but many men his age that I've personnally met in my life are, at heart, good decent people but because they've had to put up with so much bullsh*t over the years either through work or at home they've become jaded or just disillusioned.

Cougars - If ever there were a a more overused term this would be it. Most guys here should recognize it as it's fairly recent but when damn near every woman 40 and up is calling themselves by this term, it's not something to espouse. It gives yet another reason for women who are older to feel empowered to ride the carousel even if that's what they want, even if they're in an LTR, because again...you're a woman! It got so ridiculous they even had to name a tv show with this in the title. There are plenty of attractive older women out there, but the other fact is that there are also plenty of very unattractive older women out there too. Being unattractive isn't simply a physical trait either but these women feel empowered because they buy into this sh*t thinking any guy should be so happy and grateful just to be with them when in reality they themselves may be a slob, have a terrible attitude toward other people, or just don't bring anything to the table. But because this feminist empowerment crap continued unabated, they continue to have a very false sense of their true market value.


That's all I've got for now, but if I come up with more I'll add them. Please include your own and add to this thread and hopefully it'll help everyone be more mindful of these little things that crop up and seemingly work their way into our society, usually for its and our detriment.

Anything a Man Can Do Women Can Do Better - Most women will say this, but then when the sh!t hits the fan and the hard problems need solved, more women will look to a man to solve any sort of problems at hand than they will actually addressing the problem themself. You also have women who's idea of "solving a problem" is "Let me talk to Mr. Beta Male and I'll get back to you". Mr. Beta AFC puts all of his might into it thinking he might get his d!ck wet as a reward, that there may just be a 0.01% chance and all this effort if worth it. He also tells her how great she is for allowing him the opportunity to serve her. Eventually if/when he can't fix it she very politely and indirectly lets him know how displeased she is, and he leaves with his tail between his legs and his balls sky blue. Then she gets Mr. Alpha Male who may fix it if compelled to do so (like because its his job and he gets paid). Or, he may get smart and not fix it because, well, he "knows" that "she can do anything he can do only better"... Right? Either way, when it finally gets solved, she really thinks in her mind that she has fixed it herself because she delegated it, and, well... If it wasn't for her "charm" the male who finally fixed it never would have been able to otherwise. She is the "best" and can fix anything better than any man!

1. Feminism is all one thing. It is a very successful strand of socialist victimology, resentment politics that seeks discriminatory political results based on gender to solidify a voting bloc. It is not some group of "good" feminists on the one side who just want "equality," and some "evil" militant feminists "out there" on the fringe saying and writing all the objectionable things. It's all one thing, has always been one thing, puts on a dress to raise money, then right back to the Mao hat and book once the check is signed, right back to the castration parties and discriminatory lobbying after the fundraiser. 2000 year old religions such as Christianity and Buddhism don't have as many strands and strains as feminism purports to have after a mere 50 year existence. All the "strands" are branch-swinging, deflecting hogwash. Feminism is all one thing.

2. Feminism is a -new- thing, with no historical underpinning whatsoever. With inconvenient expressed Marxist origins in the Cold War, feminists in academia needed "makeup," window dressing to conceal the truth, to curry public favor, to lobby, to raise $$. So they invented a whole illegitimate field of study, "women's studies," and patched together a Frankenstein quilt of disparate elements from the past into a completely fabricated "first wave" of feminism. Mary Shelley nor the suffragettes (nor the antisuffragettes, a large, organized female group that curiously no one ever talks about in feminist history), nor any of the disparate females in the past were actually feminists, and most of them would have been definitively anti socialist, antifeminists. Betty Friedan, a career propagandist for the communist party (look it up) wrote a lie narrative called "The Feminine Mystique" that was a totally made up account of the "slavery and bondage of marriage for women" to rouse the rabble. Only with the advent of the net and a fellow naive socialist biographer would her communist ties come out finally, as they were concealed for decades by a compliant MSM. Moreover, she never lived the supposed housewife's drudgery of an existence, all a total fabrication. Feminism is primarily a movement of middle and upper middle class white women. Anyone interested in the truth should read this Erin Pizzey article:

3. Feminism is a religion. None of its core tenets are anything remotely empirical, but rather pure metaphysics. There is and never has been any political, governing force in history called "patriarchy," but rather tiny groups of elites controlling everyone else and the necessities of preserving reproductive capacity or extincting. Anything suffered by women as a gender was suffered just as badly or worse by men. There is no glass ceiling, no wage gap, no rape culture, no abuse culture, all made up to entrench women as victims of oppressive men. Yes, there is a Satan in feminism, it is the male sex. In the distant future, legitimate scholars will look at the social sciences departments of today's universities as one of the most damaging and corruptly dishonest institutions in human history. At least the Scholastics reawoke classical appreciation and preserved Aristotle in addition to their theo-disciplines. Feminism will leave us with no measurable intellectual heritage or benefit of any kind.

4. Feminism is cultural solipsism for the worst kind of POS people. Imagine what kind of a self-absorbed jackass a person would have to be to see the world of 2014 through gender-colored glasses. At least the race-obsessive victim class has some relatively recent real history of oppression to fall back on. Feminism? None. If feminists were interested in equality, they would call themselves something else, and just for one among many possible examples, there would be protests over prisoner rape at prisons, and rape generally in poor urban areas, where such occurs daily as opposed to on upper middle class campuses where it occurs very rarely.

Why should we care? Because we all pay for the lie narrative of feminism in very real ways, it is a big, scary gun aimed at all men:

5. To the actual topic, there is no underestimating the extent to which feminism and leftism generally have poisoned minds and cause immense social costs in all aspects of our society. We swim in a sea of it so vast that singling out examples of it like misandry in entertainment or discriminatory laws is like singling out drops of water in the ocean. So what should we do?

Be AWARE of it, not obsess on it, or make a thing of it. Don't ruin our lives with victimology and resentment obsessions the way the left does, but don't be silent and afraid to call it out either. Be thankful that to date, it is mostly cultural and legal poison we can avoid by wise choices. Marriage, for example, is remotely viable as a rational choice only if children are definitely a life goal, and maybe even not then. Steer clear of feminist landmines in the workplace and public life. Be wary and flexible, don't get pinned into it. Spread the truth of it, feminism has never been challenged in left-compliant mainstream media, and the rotting carcass of it needs light and air, the net is gradually dragging it out into the daylight, people are waking up. Most of all, be thankful that it isn't worse than it is. "Feminism" does not equal "women," and most women do not identify as feminists today as opposed to the recent 90s past. By my estimation, the noxious cultural poison of feminism peaked in the 90s and is on a decline. Younger men here may not have to deal with its pervasive influence too much longer in the material ways that my generation has suffered. Let's hope its days are numbered.
