Ain’t feminism great? It’s opened so many doors for women. No longer held back by the male patriarchy, women are free to compete in the most cut-throat professions, to seek the most prestigious careers, to run for the highest political offices. Women today are far more educated, well-read, erudite and independent than their sad, sorry sisters of 50 years ago. Wonderful, isn’t it?
Feminists got what they wanted, but – and I know this comes as a shocking surprise – they aren’t happy.
Yet happiness, according to many progressive sources, was never a goal of feminism. Instead, feminism is meant to increase women’s “control, self-respect and privacy” and construct women as “healthy, independent and assertive.” Some saw women’s liberation as an “oppressed people raising their consciousness toward something that is the other side of anger, something bright and smooth and cool.” Feminism allows women to reach their “full potential.”
Dismissing as flawed a 2006 study that determined a “traditional” model (with primary male breadwinner) made women happier, Pamela Haag noted in the Huffington Post: “But, more to the point, the [study’s] headlines blame feminism for not achieving a goal that wasn’t feminism’s to begin with. It’s like saying pole vaulting has failed to solve the health-care crisis.”
And there you have it, folks. Feminism was never meant to make women happy!

At its core, feminism is an anti fertility cult.
“You’ve Come A Long Way Baby”
A long, long ways from home, and every mile shows...
Put this one in the "Appropriately Named" file.
Reminds me of a picture (photo shopped?) of gloria steinway railing against “gun violence” while wearing a T-shirt proudly proclaiming “I had an abortion”. Fidiots.
Very sad.
Very true.
I feel sorry for the majority of them who felt they “had” to be feminists to be “correct”. Their hearts were never really in it, in my opinion, they were just determined to “do the right thing”.
And I say that knowing several of these unfortunate creatures personally.
Like lower party officials in a communist regime, giving their whole life to pointless drudgery in the name of a wondrous utopian ideal.
reading into to it, low hanging fruits funny
PS: If I posted this story on Fakebook, even if I didn’t add the comments I added here, the very people I call “unfortunate creatures” (even the ones I know personally, even the ones in my extended family) would savage me with hateful attacks.
The ugly lesbians of the 60s who started this crap ruined male female relations for maybe ever, but even worse is what we have today. The Meryl Streeps, powerful women who call themselves feminists and love to lecture us lessers from their golden podiums, have been found to hide rapists and abusers so they can go on abusing, raping, and child molesting, BECAUSE THEY HELP MAKE MOVIES and because these high elite women “done got theirs.” They got rich from sucking up to Weinstein, and they used their power to.... stay silent and make other, younger, less powerful women have to go through the same abuse.
Wear black, tonight, Meryl. You hypocrite along with all the others who slept their way to a lucrative career and hurt all your younger sister women.
It’s not about Suffrage.
It’s not about Freedom.
It’s not about Equality.
It’s not about Respect.
It’s not about being safe from sexual assault.
It’s not about “Equal Pay for Equal Work”.
It’s not about Liberty.
It’s not about Family.
It’s not about Safety.
It’s not about Sex.
It’s not about Patriarchy.
It’s not about Economics.
So, you may ask, what IS IT ABOUT?
It’s all about ABORTION.
Wear black, tonight, Meryl. You hypocrite along with all the others who slept their way to a lucrative career and hurt all your younger sister women.
Forever called spinsters? We are acquainted with several lib females who are constantly lamenting the lack of “good men” out there. I mentioned to Mrs. rktman that maybe, just maybe, it’s the type of “men” they hang out with that’s the problem. Being who they are, it’s pointless to mention it.
>>Yet happiness, according to many progressive sources, was never a goal of feminism.
Once the reforms of women voting and women in the workplace were achieved, the goal of feminism was to destroy family, individual productivity, masculinity, and capitalism. In that order. The nanny state taking care of a society of sexless, gray-suited laborers so an elite few can reap the rewards has always been the goal.
Yeah, I know. Sack of marbles kinda funny?
The feminists just celebrated the 25 year anniversary of Anita Hill by launching a new series of pathologies into our work places and winning a senate seat.
If any interaction with a co-worker can be criminalized, why bother? Feminists have stolen the pleasantness of casual relationships with men, endowing god like privileges on women, who can charge or sue for the least offense. Determining who can look at you, who can speak to you, or who can touch you might seem wonderful, but a lot of men will just ignore you.
I had a woman on Twitter tell me she liked the idea of being able to jail a man who looked at her with a “leer.” I told her to enjoy her solitude and go away. These angry female lizards have created hell for all of us, but theirs is just arriving as they age.
Oh, you are correct. Truth can be extremely painful when it smacks the side of the noggin’.
That sagging fruits reference is leaving a bad image on my brain. I wonder how many feminists are thinking twice about burning their bras back in the day?
I have a medium-distant relative (not too close, not so far) who is still young enough to be saved but who I think is mentally too far gone for saving. She posts feminist crap on Fakebook every freaking day, and intersperses it with “why am I alone” posts that are both quite honest and revealing regarding her personal situation while at the same time being a strong indication that the stupid is very very strong in her. But can I tell her that? She would hate me forever.
It started to get “that bad” several years before I retired from a major corporation. Egg shell traps everywhere. Even with “opposites” known for years. Even worse, casual observers not involved in any way with the interaction complaining about it.
