The Kavanaugh Smear War Broke My Decades-Long Support For Feminism
The Federalist ^ | 10/12/18 | Albert Marrewa

Posted on 10/12/2018 12:13:10 PM PDT by Texas Fossil

For more than two decades, I traveled the country facilitating rape and assault prevention lectures, seminars, and workshops for women of all ages. I was passionate about this work, committed to the cause, and believed wholeheartedly that what I was doing was a wholly virtuous endeavor. I considered myself a feminist. But that was then, and this is now.

All these years I silently stood by and watched third-wave feminism (with assistance from the radical left) methodically take a sledgehammer to Western society as a whole, and males in particular. Foolishly, I hoped things would eventually turn around, only to see things get worse over time.

Yet it wasn’t until I witnessed the Me Too movement snowball into an all-out, anti-male witch hunt that I realized good men were in real trouble. Astonishingly, after having been an advocate for women my entire adult life, I quickly learned I was still considered the “enemy,” simply for being a man.

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that someday the opposite sex would view me as a threat. But it’s true, and “their” message is loud and clear: Even if you’ve been a staunch supporter of women’s rights for years, taught thousands of women and girls (many of whom were survivors of sexual assault) how to defend themselves from a violent attacker, and authored a book on the subject, you are not to be trusted solely because of your sex.

One needn’t look too far to see that today’s hyper-feminism climate has men throughout the Western world walking on eggshells at work, at home, everywhere. As a counselor, my male clients routinely voice concerns about having targets on their backs simply because they are men, and I am reticent to take on new female clients out of fear of being falsely accused of sexual impropriety.

AS the old saying goes, you can be right or you can be happy, but both are not possible. 8>)

It is always about abortion.

Those chose China as a venue for a feminist conference many years ago. Hillary spoke there. By choosing that venue, they demonstrated that they not only supported abortions, they tacitly approved of FORCED ABORTIONS. So they esteem abortions over so-called women's rights.

Feminism--as reflected in the contemporary Western movement, so labelled, has never been about a celebration of actual femininity, however it may be marketed in the media.

God willing, the Kavanaugh ordeal will wake up many to what is really a war against what actually works for human happiness.

The one thing only women can do? Have children. That is the very thing that the Radical Leftist Fems want to eliminate.

As my article points out, they hate the feminine women, as much or more than they hate men.
