Do I have a problem with the modern feminist movement? Is that a multiple choice question? Before feminism was hijacked by militant activists such as Code Pink, and yes, even the heralded NOW, it was designed to empower, support, and defend the rights of women regardless of their personal lives and attributes. Now, no pun intended, it is a twisted political platform that discriminates against women who don’t adhere to a malformed stereotype of what progressives deem as worthy of their ‘cause’. Today’s feminist cults pick and choose whom they defend, they maliciously incite discord and tarnish lives with imagined slights – ala, Gloria Allred’s political theater of phallic defamation – and anything overtly masculine/paternal is labeled as misogynistic and a palpable threat to their esoteric vision of an “evolved” society. In other words, these radical feminists are hopelessly insecure, biased, and extremely vindictive when they cannot discount or emasculate the traditional male role model into a submissive tool of political servitude. For some reason, perhaps socialist, secular femdom, it makes them feel better about themselves and the Boy Scouts!
Unfortunately for country music and the “XY” chromosome, the strong jaw, blue collar, gun-owning, meat-eating, God-fearing, flag-saluting silhouette of manhood is now classified as a predator to women everywhere, especially feminists’ newfound definition of “man”; all regardless whether “said man” is a good father, treats women with the utmost respect, and unlike shameless activists lives a moral life. The fact such misguided activism places flamboyant homosexuals on a pedestal of exceptionalism, enlightenment – because it’s least offensive to their frail sensibilities and innate to their “gender simplification” mantra – begs to the exact degree of their sexualized neurosis. I believe Mr. Freud called it penis envy, or more profoundly, jealously without snow tires. A true woman requires no such infantile generalizations for she is fully content in whom she is, confident in what she can achieve, and seeks only to be judged according to her actions; that is, equal opportunity does not necessarily dictate equal outcomes or hard feelings. Yes, that was sneaky.
So, do I have a problem with feminism? Hmmm…I have a problem with the validity and intelligence of any movement that happily allows Sarah Palin to be called a slut, the hopeful victim of a rape, because her detractors – most notably the liberal media – would rather disparage her as a conservative woman, her right to express herself in a land predicated upon liberty, than simply refute the factual strength of her argument. (Yes, slander is the tool of the defeated) I have a problem with anyone who demeans a woman for staying at home to personally raise her children and maintain her household, rather than seek out a professional career of advancement and accolades. As a true believer in equality, I always assumed both were highly commendable and solely a woman’s choice. Obviously, I’m wrong. I reject any bankrupt ideology that judges the worthiness of a woman’s plight according to her sexuality, gender, wealth, race, religion or whether she believes in abortion or not, rather than recognizing her as a sentient being blessed with certain unalienable rights. And last but never least, I detest any hypocrite or fascist faction that finds it necessary to discriminate against and belittle men, an individual worthy of respect until proven otherwise, in order to justify the type of unapologetic sexism some women are tragically fighting. True men, not the extreme cases of misbehavior used to objectify our entire gender and ignite political firestorms of opportunism, see themselves and the struggle for gender equality through the eyes of their sisters, wives, daughters, and mothers. It’s called empathy, objectivity, humanity. No political affiliation is necessary.

Good article! This needs to be published.
Thank you so much!
If I recall correctly, women’s lib was originally about women having choices in their lives. Choices to be a stay at home mother, choices to work outside the home and have a career, choices to live their lives as they saw fit. Not being forced into some stereotypical role.
But then women’s lib morphed into something else. Now there is the expectation that women will not put marriage and family at the center of their lives, but instead, have that professional career. And be liberal in her politics.
As I recall, the goal was that women would be able to have careers and combine with motherhood, or just be a stay at home mother, but whatever she did, a woman would have a choice in how she lived her life. And all choices would be honored by feminist theory. But today, the women’s movement is all about liberalism and eschewing traditional marriage and family life.

The SCUM Manifesto consists of an introduction, a list of grievances, and a conclusion.[20] The manifesto opens with the following declaration:[33]
“Life” in this “society” being, at best, an utter bore and no aspect of “society” being at all relevant to women, there remains to civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and eliminate the male sex.
Solanas begins by presenting a theory of the male as an “incomplete female” who is genetically deficient due to the Y chromosome.[34] According to Solanas, this genetic deficiency causes the male to be emotionally limited, egocentric, and incapable of mental passion or genuine interaction. She describes the male as lacking empathy and unable to relate to anything apart from his own physical sensations.[35] The manifesto continues by arguing that the male spends his life attempting to become female, and thereby overcome his inferiority. He does this by “constantly seeking out, fraternizing with and trying to live though and fuse with the female.” Solanas rejects Freud’s theory of penis envy, and argues that men have “pussy envy”. Solanas then accuses men of turning the world into a “shitpile” and presents a long list of grievances.[36]
The bulk of the manifesto consists of a litany of grievances against the male sex. The grievances are divided into the following sections:[37]
War
Niceness, Politeness and “Dignity”
Money, Marriage and Prostitution, Work and Prevention of an Automated Society
Fatherhood and Mental Illness (fear, cowardice, timidity, humility, insecurity, passivity)
Suppression of Individuality, Animalism (domesticity and motherhood) and Functionalism
Prevention of Privacy
Isolation, Suburbs and Prevention of Community
Conformity
Authority and Government
Philosophy, Religion and Morality Based on Sex
Prejudice (racial, ethnic, religious, etc.)
Competition, Prestige, Status, Formal Education, Ignorance and Social and Economic Classes
Prevention of Conversation
Prevention of Friendship and Love
“Great Art” and “Culture”
Sexuality
Boredom
Secrecy, Censorship, Suppression of Knowledge and Ideas, and Exposés
Distrust
Ugliness
Hate and Violence
Disease and Death

Feminists, like all leftists, are hypocrites.
They call Palin a slut, but try to get Limbaugh taken off the air for calling a slut a slut.
Great post!
Exactly. One is a national tragedy, the other well deserved.
Which tells you their “cause” is nothing but a more palatable front for their true agenda,
as the title says, “fascism”.
Today's Feminazis are only pro-choice if the choice is to abort.
Sarah Palin personifies what feminism was originally all about.
Sarah has it all. She has a wonderful family, great husband, happy family life. And she rose to the top in a competitive career field. He truly has it all, per feminist criteria.
Yet the feminists do not celebrate the life and achievements of Sarah Palin.
If Sarah Palin were liberal, she would be honored by feminists as a combination of Joan of Arc, Annie Oakley, and Rosie the Riviter.

That fact that we’re standing up for the rights of men, not accepting the ideology of rape culture, calling patriarchy theory a lie, and loudly yelling that feminism does NOT represent us, is driving them mad. There have been several news articles about the rebellion and quite a few YouTube videos about us. (From both the feminazis and the MRAs)
