“Women gained autonomy but lost security. Men gained access but lost responsibility. The ancient balance was gone.”
Excellent article.
I was looking for something like this when I tried to explain the breakdown of morals and responsibility to a young feminist, complaining that her “partner” was going to start helping with the dishes more.
As if that was the only problem.
Sadly, I see a lot of unhappy in the UK, moreso than here. I think their decline has been happening longer plus their nanny state is much more entrenched.
Women insisted that they wanted to work. So that led to more breakdowns of marriages, more multiple partners, illegitimate births, and ultimately ending up alone. Often in poverty. I don’t see an upside at all.
Of course, the children suffer the most. How are they even to learn what a healthy relationship is?
And the men lost their motivation. Without being valued as a protector and provider, they just meander through the bars, looking for one partner after another. And they don’t have to even pursue them, it’s just given.
So if the poor guy doesn’t feel like he wants to do the dishes - his masculinity has been taken away long before the housework request, and he doesn’t even realize it.
That's a lie of Feminism. Women ALWAYS worked throughout history.
