We have met the enemy of civilization, and it’s women.
Not individual women, mind you. Because any given individual woman can possess masculine characteristics. And certainly not homemakers — those are the women who are doing the job they’ve done for millenniums, taking care of the family.
No, the challenge to civilization is presented, in the view of Helen Andrews, a writer and editor who served as a senior editor at The American Conservative, by the women who are entering the workplace in such great numbers that they now make up large portions or majorities of their professions. In that case, the supposed feminine commitment to “empathy over rationality, safety over risk, cohesion over competition” manifests itself as the dread wokeness and ultimately destroys institutions and professions.
That’s the core thesis of an essay by Andrews that was based on a speech she gave at the National Conservatism conference in September.
Both the essay and the speech are generating an immense amount of conversation. The speech, “Overcoming the Feminization of Culture,” has been viewed over 175,000 times, a number that dwarfs the views for any other speech at this year’s convention. The essay is the toast of parts of the right on X, where it is hailed as “electrifying,” “incisive” and “provocative,” with a “great deal of explanatory power.”
The reasons are plain to see. First, it’s yet another contribution to one of the most prominent debates in America — regarding the differences, whatever they are, between men and women and the declining dominance of men in education and the work force.

the Left did that — young women are merely the symptoms
It is single women.
This can be remedied. RAISE THE VOTING AGE FOR FEMALES TO 100.
AWFULs have done more damage to the USA than any foreign enemy....
No, the Left deformed and exploited what was meant to be good in women and used that to make political monsters out of them. It's akin to how in Lord of the Rings, Sauron kidnapped elves and gradually transformed them into Orcs.
Women wanted to get on juries...cuz they kinda saw how the cowboy buddy system worked. Wanted to see more guys hung.
uh...phrasing
;-)
That’s the sad truth.
The 19h Amendment was a terrible mistake.
L
Correct.
💯
Without reading the speech, I cannot fully comment. However, I will state that there is a very good reason why the traditional family is a mother, father and children. Besides the obvious biological reason, a mother and father complement each other because each has character traits that the other lacks. Conversely, Negative character traits that are typical among either males or females, are often times offset by the individual who is the opposite sex.
Too much influence by either sex is not good for society. I will say, though, that when it comes to foreign policy matters, I much prefer that men be in charge. Most of the enemies that we have are in societies that do not respect women, and when we have women diplomats, they are generally not taken seriously. Que point, Saddam Hussein fought that the United States was weak because our ambassador was April Glaspie (I may have spelled her name incorrectly). We ended up with the first Gulf War as a result.
Anyone ruled by emotions is the problem. It’s just more common with women.
I feel confident to say that Margaret Thatcher did not do any of this damage.
I feel confident to say that Phyllis Schlafly did not do any of this damage.
If given enough time I bet I could come up with a dozen, dozens of names and I think others could do the same.
So it’s not “women”, it’s “progressive women”.
And are we to say that progressive men did no damage at all? Was LBJ good for the West and the U.S.? How about Bill Clinton? Obama? How many years was Biden in the Senate? How many other senators....
How about Saul Alinsky and George Soros? They are men so obviously they did no damage at all?
So it’s not just progressive women, it’s also progressive men.
How about it’s progressives? The damage was done by “progressives”. Nah. Could not be that. It was just the women.
Sigh.
Good grief. French and others apparently have mommy issues.
Women are more susceptible to suicidal empathy.
