Aint feminism great? Its opened so many doors for women. No longer held back by the male patriarchy, women are free to compete in the most cut-throat professions, to seek the most prestigious careers, to run for the highest political offices. Women today are far more educated, well-read, erudite and independent than their sad, sorry sisters of 50 years ago. Wonderful, isnt it?
Feminists got what they wanted, but and I know this comes as a shocking surprise they arent happy.
Yet happiness, according to many progressive sources, was never a goal of feminism. Instead, feminism is meant to increase womens control, self-respect and privacy and construct women as healthy, independent and assertive. Some saw womens liberation as an oppressed people raising their consciousness toward something that is the other side of anger, something bright and smooth and cool. Feminism allows women to reach their full potential.
Dismissing as flawed a 2006 study that determined a traditional model (with primary male breadwinner) made women happier, Pamela Haag noted in the Huffington Post: But, more to the point, the [studys] headlines blame feminism for not achieving a goal that wasnt feminisms to begin with. Its like saying pole vaulting has failed to solve the health-care crisis.
And there you have it, folks. Feminism was never meant to make women happy!

Feminism is another wonderful fruit of egalitarianism.
They want men and women to be equal, so they use anything at their disposal - shaming, guilting, laws, institutions, propaganda, the force of the state, medicine, erasing the concept of gender... to make men more like women and women like men.
They’re plan has had some success in the West, and in the process it’s destroying it. Why men, who had all the power, let that happen is beyond me.
But reality has a way of getting it’s revenge. The unabashedly masculine Muslims are coming to restore the natural order.
And the most feminized countries, like Sweden, maybe the first to fall.
Indeed.
Every revolution has casualties, baby. Enjoy.
Never understood them burning their bras and then asking for support.
Yeah I remember that happening at the Women’s March last year.
It was a glaring betrayal of women everywhere, but very few women noticed.
Sometimes we are our own worst enemy.
LOL! Oh no you di’int!
maybe, its the type of men they hang out with
Like two fried eggs nailed to the wall?
In their minds, they shouldn't have to work as hard(I am a grrl, don't hold me responsible for my actions) as men do to achieve their goals.
Oh papa where are you now?
Honestly there are good young women out there. Its hard to find girls not led astray by leftist lies but there are some. And some girls who are wrong dont know it. They dont know any better. I was one of those. We can be converted with a little maturity. I have two young adult sons too so I am concerned as well.
I’m 61. Some years ago I was talking with a female friend who was in her late fifties, never was a ‘’feminist’’ but had friends who were. She told me to a woman they all regretted either never marrying, getting divorced and more then a few regretted having had abortions. They were truly heartbroken for having destroyed a life, a life they could have created but instead destroyed it. Feminism isn’t about ‘’empowering’’ women. It’s about destroying them.
Agreed.
Pretty similar situation here. Her name is Nina.
