Being pro Palestine is to be part of the consensus, to be in style.

Is this a trick question?

The thing is.....by tilting the education field to favor women (and yes that’s exactly what has been happening for a couple generations) to the point that women now comprise a majority of students both undergrad and grad.....the feminazis will ultimately have done great harm to women.

Why?

Women won’t marry “down”. They don’t want men who earn less than they do as a general rule. Men have no problem at all marrying a woman who is of lower economic status and who makes considerably less than they do, but women are very different in this. So as they rise up the food chain in the corporate world, there are fewer and fewer men they will find acceptable. The result is a lot of cats, boxed wine, bitterness and unhappiness. There is a reason women report being less happy now than they self reported 50 years ago.

They just want to meet guys.......

Similar to the way some of them wanted to meet ISIS guys?

The feminist movement is all about empowerment or more properly entitlement. The leadership over time, has leaned so far to the left that they fell over.

They are now into absurd relationships with every uber liberal issue. They have been there so long now, they are stuck on stupid.

Orwell is characterized by the Left today as a misogynist, and the only “evidence” they have are quotes like that in a fictional book...though...not so fictional anymore.

Many women (most especially and specifically Feminists) believe they are the moral superiors of men, and their fallacious belief is buttressed by the fact that many men of my generation (and those before me) elevated women onto a pedestal.

The thing those women don’t understand is why we put them on pedestals at all, and it wasn’t because we thought them to be morally superior. We put them on pedestals because they brought aspects to the table in given situations that men generally do not, and intelligent men recognize this symbiotic intellectual and emotional relationship.

The grave error that females of these types fall prey to in this is that those same types of women don’t reciprocate that generally positive sentiment of male/female complimentary relationships, and they believe they bring not only their own female-related aspects to the table that men lack, but somehow believe that they as females also bring the critical male aspects to the table (male aspects that women, no matter how fervently they believe they do possess, simply do not generally possess or supply) so in their minds, men are not necessary.

Hence the fallacious, corrosive, and offensive mindset of “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle”. I have come to believe this is the root of many problems we see in society today.

Experience shows that the feminist mindset is not only false, but dangerous and intentionally divisive. And we have seen the fruits of that poisonous tree expand throughout society and into the fundamental concept of family, resulting in epidemic single parent families which, although they sometimes happen out of necessity, are not something to aspire to. The statistics on single-parent families and their outcomes are clear and undeniable.

And just to be clear, this is a Leftist Feminist mindset.

Conservative women are more often than not cognizant of the specific differences between males and females, and are generally aware that, apart from the obvious physical differences, men bring character traits to the table that compliment those characteristics that are not generally dominant in females, and vice versa.

But that commonsense mindset is not what drives everything in American society today ranging from investment to military planning and deployment. They want to take the idiotic “GI Jane” mindset that is so prevalent in Hollywood and the media, and treat that as if it were a fact, and a state that must be achieved.

I didn't bother to read the article but I will say this. There was a good reason why the Founding Fathers did not grant the right to vote for women.

Ultimately, we'll lose all of our liberties and we will eventually have some form of autocracy, thanks to the 19th Amendment.

I can hear the dry, sardonic voice of the character in that movie saying that!

When you look at government today, two of the biggest flaws are a vacuum of reason in government legislation and actions, and a complete and total lack of accountability.

Witness the stupid hearings with the Secret Service Director. No accountability. It is not even an issue that is being seriously discussed.

This may just be a coincidence with the quote you mentioned, but it is food for thought.

It's a specific instance of a larger question.

Why do girls like bad boys?

Because they are stupid ugly liberals who have no idea how the real world works, live empty lives of luxury, and want to follow “the thing” to get power and meaning in their miserable existence.

Over at Reddit, the redditors are ripping off the arms and legs of progressive entertainers and criticizing their “woke” politics inundating movies. The Marxist entertainers are flabbergasted and don’t know how to handle the attack. Woke college will be targeted next.

I suspect we’re seeing the beginning of the end of Marxist “wokeism.”

Male restraint...may be necessary in a civilized society, but it can also enable a bullying strain of female hyper-emotionalism

IMO, societal efforts to achieve a golden mean for human equity, happiness and fulfillment move on a sinusoidal path. Constantly varying between the extremes of over correction in one direction or another.

We are currently in a peak of amplitude associated with correcting the historical mistreatment of women, minorities and certain deviants in the American culture. I think the "wave" has moved too far in that direction, risking American physical and financial security.

I'm praying an adverse reaction to a nomination of Harris will mark the start of a turning point toward sanity in American culture. Godspeed to Trump and Vance.

“Why do girls like bad boys?”

The manosphere has written extensively on the “why”.

Short summary:

—Excitement—good boys are boring
—Drama—particularly if girls are raised in homes with lots of conflict they need lots of drama because that is what they are used to
—Sympathy—the bad boys tend to get into situations where they need to be “healed”—whether physically or emotionally
—Alpha theory—the female ape brain wants the biggest and strongest and meanest ape

etc etc etc
