AWFLs Under The Microscope
American Thinker ^ | 13 Nov. 2026 | Armando Simon

A psychologist analyzes the disturbing phenomenon of Affluent White Female Liberals.

As a psychologist, I have tried to understand the phenomenon of what is casually termed “crazy liberal women,” or “AWFLs” (Affluent White Female Liberals) — those obnoxious, shrieking, irrational, intensively hateful, intrusive women whose mouths are a verbal sewer and who are forever drawing attention to themselves. One cannot view the women of The View, for example, without recognizing that there is something seriously wrong with them.

I may be able to shed some light on these creatures, but we should first examine some instances where they manifest their irrationality.

Overall

The appearance of these bizarre women and others like them, with their COEXIST bumper stickers, has been noted by sane individuals, with one writer calling them “a plague upon Western society.” Not a hyperbole. After all, it’s hard not to notice them, nor their corrosive effect on society. (For example, Laura Helmuth as editor in chief of Scientific American, Kathleen Kennedy at Disney, and Susan Goldberg at National Geographic).

One of the things about them that is interesting to me, as a psychologist, is their utter lack of self-awareness as to how bizarrely they act, even when it is patently self-destructive, as with those women with suicidal empathy. In the rare instances they do become aware, it is a painful experience. Phyllis Chesler, a prominent feminist and psychologist, admitted that many of her fellow activists who were the giants of second-wave feminism were insane — not flaky, but clinically psychotic (think Andrea Dworkin). Long before I became aware of Chesler, I came to the same conclusion on reading the writings in feminist journals; they were unquestionably the ramblings of psychotic persons. Along the same line, look at FEMEN, a group of French liberal women who demonstrate topless

Over 50 percent of liberal women self-report having a mental illness.

...but clinically psychotic (think Andrea Dworkin)...

I remember Andrea from the 7th and 8th grades in New Jersey. She was quiet and shy.

Because they are possessed. That is why they do wild/crazy things, have no problem killing their unborn children, vote democrat, etc.

Their sole desire in life is to signal their virtue and to outsignal those around them. Their obsessive self-focus is what drives them into mental illness.

The answer:

They’re reacting against “The Patriarchy,” which is only a phantom but they believe it’s real and out to get them.

The other half are running around untreated.

Chesler was right. Kate Millett, another feminazi, spent long stretches in psychiatric units for uncontrolled manic episodes.

The mistake was the 19th Amendment.

“Feminism” and “Liberal” are outdated terms from the 1970s. Red Pill content should update the terms they use.

It is not AWFLs. It is AWFULs. American White Female Urban Leftists.

They are gender Marxists, applying Marxist conflict theory to gender relations. Everything is ‘daddy’s fault’ to them. So they hate and destroy -as they’ve been brainwashed to do by the Marxists and CCP.

Their minds are controlled thru their anti-Western civilization social media inputs. They have weak, sycophant minds. They are controlled by the enemies of Western civilization, not their families.

They are easily manipulated.

Our ancestors did not allow women to vote for a good reason.

But Muslims seem to be driving in their blind spot.

16 To the woman he said,

“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;
with painful labor you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you.”

I have heard this interpreted as woman’s “desire” will be for the husband’s authority. Women will be continually frustrated by and struggle against the authority that God placed on the husband - just as man will be continually frustrated by and struggle with “work” (v17 - in sorrow and toil...)

Feminism and the Patriarchy disappeared when the Trans movement got big and they could not longer define the word “woman”.

Good post perfect lady. Wait until they meet real “toxic masculinity”.
