Sharia law? How about the old laws that allowed a man to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb? Or the restrictions on education until early to mid (depending on the field - women’s med schools, etc. were created) last century?

Like many movements, feminism is a backlash against old restrictions and suppression that became an overcompensation then irrelevant or harmful to those it is supposed to advance. Feminism is now the enemy of women as well as women.

If you took all women out of the workforce today we’d have a labor shortage all of the sudden and the economic problem would be fixed.

I’m not advocating that but I will say this. Very rarely are women discriminated against in male run agencies/fields. To do so would bring an immediate lawsuit and the reputation on the man as some “woman hater”

Look at female run companies and agencies on the other hand. To be a man in a female run agency with a high number of female workers is like being an 18 point on opening day of gun season. You have the target on your back because most professional women at some level hate all men except for their male relatives and even then often have resentment against them as well.

It’s why I married the woman I did. A nice girl from a very good family in Charleston who nursed no hatred towards men and whose primary ambitions were what dress she’d wear for the cocktail party rather than what new way she can use to stick it to those “evil men.”

One of the innumerable feminist lies.
