The Crashing Failure of the Feminist Movement

What a chilling history and apparently bleak future portrayed by this article...

Depressingly accurate and true I believe and without divine intervention is the death of all that is good in this country, resulting in it becoming another communist/sharia slave state. (Hello NYC).

This is a stunning and sobering piece, an inarguable indictment of the efforts of sinister forces to destroy the American Culture. And those forces have been largely successful, as detailed therein. It's like reading an after action report of a long and terrible battle. It went right into my 'Essential Columns' folder. Thanks Joan and OP!

Earlier this month, author Helen Andrews published the article "The Great Feminization" that has sent shockwaves online. If you have not read it, I highly recommend it: https://compactmag.com/article/the-great-feminization/. In it, Andrews starts that the current 'woke' movement has its direct origins from the firing of Larry Summers as President of Harvard in 2005. He made "off-the-record" comments (that were leaked) about the reasons behind low female representation in STEM professions. This is what Summers said that generated the tempest: "...female underrepresentation in hard sciences was partly due to “different availability of aptitude at the high end” as well as taste differences between men and women “not attributable to socialization.” Some women objected to what he said not because it was true (it was) but it was an emotional--if not hysterical--reaction for saying the silent part out loud. That reaction is what we now know as 'cancel culture'; firing someone and/or socially ostracizing them not over practical reasons but over emotional/irrational arguments for something the perceived perpetrator said or wrote that a leftist mob didn't like. Andrews furthers argues that feminism has led to over-representation of women in higher ed, law, medicine, publishing, and corporate culture writ large. She writes: "Everything you think of as wokeness involves prioritizing the feminine over the masculine: empathy over rationality, safety over risk, cohesion over competition." All this has adverse consequences to society by those who now wield the institutional levers of power, with the very same appeal to emotion over substance, that will ultimately lead to our downfall.

One more time: This is not a male vs. female issue. This is a truth-led vs. feelings-led issue, and the root is spiritual. Anyone remember the illustration of the two trains? The first example (wrong way) has feelings as the engine, with truth being based on how you feel. The other train (the correct way) has truth as the engine, and your feelings follow. Any society that is not grounded in truth (God's truths, in particular) is going to go off the rails. THAT is what is happening here.

Don't leave out the legal system in this country for the decline. Old and new laws that punished men in favor of women have also contributed to the decline. There is no equal justice when a guy can lose his freedom, his employment, and his reputation simply because a woman accuses him of something with no proof needed to do so. It's lead to young men avoiding young women because they could lose everything at the drop of a hat. It may be rare, but the word spreads fast when it does happen.

Hmm. failed? About 90% of docs are now women. Most mid-upper managers in businesses are now women. WAY too many police and fire chiefs are women. Competent? Well....that's possible, but not often seen.

Who said it failed. The only argument I would have is which movement succeeded. They certainly aren't feminists. Some groups can't even identify a woman anymore. Whatever movement it is, it is older than Socialism or Communism though both are part of it. We see an increase in arrogance, anger, hatred, and violence. We see the rule of law being replaced with might makes right. We are going backwards. To an age when humanity wasn't even civilized. Don't believe it. Just follow some online groups and witness how toxic some people have become. Anyone that has ever played an online game knows exactly what I am talking about. To make matters worse, it is now spilling out into the real world.

I’ve noticed myself not taking deliberately childless 30+ men and women seriously. It hasn’t been something I’ve been doing consciously, but without children there seems no real point to what they are doing with their lives. Even more so those deliberately single. Raising a loving family is infinitely greater than a career, success or wealth, but unfortunately from a young age women in particular have been brainwashed to believe otherwise. There’s going to be a lot of folks passing from this earth with no one to remember them or pray them. Sad.
