Why the sexual revolution has been a disaster for women today - but a gift for men: The provocative thesis of feminist author LOUISE PERRY whose passionately argued insights will spark fierce debate
UK Daily Mail ^ | May 27, 2022 | Louise Perry

Posted on 05/29/2022 5:15:45 AM PDT by C19fan

When Emma Watson, the film star and women’s rights campaigner, was criticised for showing her breasts on the cover of Vanity Fair, she hit back by asserting ‘feminism is about giving women choice.

It’s about freedom’. For liberal feminists like her that might be true.

But for many other women — perhaps a sizeable majority — that freedom has spectacularly backfired. It has turned out to be a lie and a con.

Rather than women being emancipated sexually, in the digital age we have become a society in thrall to the worst of male sexuality.

My advice to them is this: only have sex with a man if you think he would make a good father to your children.

If Ms. Perry watched social media she would realize that advice will never work in today's environment. With online dating and social media, one sees the Pareto Principle in effect; 80% of women are chasing 20% or less of men. That 20% of men is based almost entirely on looks; the manosphere term is Black Pill. In such an environment, female promiscuity might be the only strategy that has a chance as Chad will leave if she is not putting out.

Mark Steyn’s brilliant observation is that feminism could only have been invented by 12 year old boys.

It doesn’t benefit anyone. I have no idea how to help people in their 20s or younger with regards to dating. The social dynamics are so distorted beyond recognition for both sexes. A lot of people I know just get the feeling that they got on the last helicopter out of Saigon when they look at how things are for young people.

And now we’re recognizing that only SOME men won.

I agree. How can men have won if 80% or more are not even getting the chance to have sex with a woman as she chases Chad and Tyrone.

A liberal feminist who gets it. Because she is smart, honest, and not self-deceived......

Women’s sexual freedom is the worst thing that ever happened to women - and men. One of the biggest lies ever.

It took away from us virtuous women who simply want to be what and who God made them to be.

Fortunately there are wonderful godly Christian girls who have refused to buy into the lie. And men too.

Now, the homosexual revolution, is in full swing.

Kind of loses steam towards the end of the article. ‘Would-be rapists need to be imprisoned’, etc.
Liberalism got use where we are today, plain and simple.

A long overdue reveal

I grew up on the cusp of the ‘so called women’s movement’ but had a deep Christian, conservative foundation….
I really did keep in mind ‘ would this embarrass or hurt my dad’

Today and through the past 30, 40 years, many girls have no dad around to ‘embarrass’…..have no foundation……have no guidance, no role models

I feel deeply sorry for them
They have allowed feminists to cheapen them…..and cast them off

The hook up generation is to be pitied….especially the women
There are many types of sexual disease to be caught and women’s bodies aren’t designed for what they subject it to.

Yeah, they have freedom…….
….and they have diseases, broken relationships and marriage, and our nation has over 60 million aborted babie

If I sound like the often made fun of ‘ church lady’…I guess I am

Heck, that’s in the rear view mirror. Now we have the trans and pedo revolution being fought.

When I first saw those knitted pink pussy caps, I thought to myself, you stupid women think you’ve won by wearing those, and all you’ve done is reduced yourself to only that. You are nothing but a sex object to men, and that’s all you desire to be. What a waste.

Look at the “chick porn” books (romance novels). How often do you see “George from accounting” as the subject of the women’s desires?

Women in their 20’s think they can party with the Alpha Males until they are in their 30s, and then find some affluent sucker to marry them.

Sorry girls, if you want a good husband you must find him in your 20s, ideally in your early 20s. Good men are not going to be interested in leftovers.

Looking at today’s young men, only the worst among them get any “benefits” and I would say they are victims too

In general terms, that has long been the male attitude to sex. But, with feminism coming to the fore, women were encouraged to think along the same lines.

Leftists always name things the opposite of what they really are, because they have to. What they call feminism is actually masculinism.

Civilization is built on the idea that, if a guy studies in school and gets a good job, that he can attract a woman who will love him and bear his children.

Unmarried men do not need a house in the suburbs. They are content with an apartment and free time to play games with their buddies. They lose interest in working and holding civilization up.

Watch the movie "Fight Club" to see what will happen when men lose interest in trying to maintain civilization, and decide to bring it down and laugh.

Society is driven by what women demand from men.

There is one little secret these future Alpha Widows have not yet learned—their attitude will turn to &^%$ after their Alpha days are over.

That hostile and negative personality will make them toxic as future wife material.
