Stamping out the toxic masculinity from your teenage boy before it's too late.
HuffPost Personal recently posted an opinion piece titled “I Took My 15-Year-Old Son To See ‘Barbie’ Because I’m Worried He Could Become Ken,” which at first I understandably took to be satire. But no, progressivism is often simply a parody of itself, and that is the case with this HuffPost piece. Beyond its unintentional entertainment value, however, it’s a revealing look into the mindset of feminists who wrestle with the misfortune of having borne one or more male children instead of daughters with whom they can bond over their shared oppression under the boot heel of – ugh – men.
The author is Wendy Besel Hahn (pronouns she/her), a writer and editor and the 51-year-old mother of a 15-year-old son. Her HuffPost article is full of virtue-signaling about her compassionate activism, Trump-hating moral superiority, and determination to raise a feminist son, but it also betrays an underlying, misandrist panic that her son’s very nature is toxic and must be exorcised out of him.
“I’m painfully aware that my son is merely six years away from having more rights in America than I do,” she says, referring to the “privilege” of “bodily autonomy” she “lost” when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
So Hahn was “thrilled” that the smash summer movie Barbie, which has drawn widespread criticism among many conservatives for its heavy-handed feminist messaging, gave her the opportunity to educate her son about “the patriarchal American society we live in today.” As a former English teacher, she wishes “all teachers would assign their students to watch ‘Barbie’ in place of summer reading selections like ‘The Grapes of Wrath.’” She need not worry about that –there are plenty of activist educators who would eagerly swap out great literature from our cultural heritage for feminist propaganda. Hahn unwittingly makes a great case for homeschooling.
This isn’t the first time Hahn has worked on shaping a neo-Marxist worldview for her son. Happily embracing accusations of “woke” and “indoctrination,” Hahn states that she’s “been inoculating my son against hate for years.”...
I am surprised that Hahn has not had her son transgendered.
Child abuse ...
She’s emasculating him in other ways I’m sure. I hope there’s toxic Dad in the picture to offset this stupidity.
“I am surprised that Hahn has not had her son transgendered.”
Don’t give her any ideas.
L
And there you have it.
Feminism is murder.
Sick.
Child abuse. Without question.
Disgusting.
It would be best if Hahn just put a bullet in her own head to save her son.
These feminists are too stupid to realize that they are actually creating misogynists. What boy raised in this way would NOT despise women like their mothers, with their endless complaining, hectoring, and criticizing?
Why aren’t these feminists at all threatened by the trans movement, which literally transfers to any man all the rights reserved for women?
Centuries of hard-fought legal victories, intended to level the playing field for the weaker sex, are being erased overnight by acceptance of a lie - that a man can be a woman if he so chooses.
How is this any different than a white man identifying as black to take advantage of affirmative action laws?
How is this any different than a wealthy man identifying as poor to take advantage of welfare laws?
How is this any different than a barber identifying as a brain surgeon to take advantage of the higher salary?
Feminists are the biggest losers in the trans movement - I thought they were smarter than this.
The mother in this story justifiably hates Brock Turner who is a rapist, likely LOVES and defends Joe Biden who is credibly accused of rape.
Kid will probably join the Marines at age 18 to get away from the bat crap crazy mom. Just like that Sheehan kid. Too bad the person in the Sheehan household was the son who gave his life embracing being a man and protector. The witch he was protecting wasn’t worth the sacrifice though.
guarantee she’s a single mom.
I’m sure her 15-year-old son hated being dragged to the Barbie movie. I wouldn’t be surprised if stuff like that backfires.
Hasn't she heard? Men can get pregnant and have abortions too!
Get with the times, lady (or whatever word may apply here)!
Only in the Satanic West. Not in the rest of the world where humanity’s future is.
She should go live in Barbietown.
