They have absolutely nothing to worry about in that regard. What sane man would want to get within a mile of these?

Merriam-Webster has just announced its “word of the year” for 2017. Drum roll, please…it’s feminism!
The word peaked as an online search after various events occurred this past year, beginning with the Women’s March in January, then again when the film “Wonder Woman” was released, and now it has spiked yet again as a result of the #MeToo movement, which Time magazine has recognized as its “Person of the Year.”
The word feminism was simply “in the air” this year, notes Peter Sokolowski, Merriam-Webster’s editor at large.
Except it kind of wasn’t. For instance, nobody marched in the Feminist March last January – though of course that’s exactly what it was (if the now infamous “pussy hats” didn’t tip you off, the fact that pro-life women weren’t welcome maybe did).

Many younger women have been misled into feminism and spinsterhood or divorce by wealthier older women with intact families. It keeps potential competition from rising.
My parents are raising my sister’s to be feminine. They give them that yes, girls can do things boys can do, but also they can be beautiful, too. My mom has a degree in interior design, but she loves being our mom and DeplorableAmerican1776’s wife. :-)
Feminism, communism.. same thing. By the time some of them wise up, it’s too late. Sadness all around.
Haha ;)
