As I have documented on a number of occasions, the Left ruins everything it touches. There is no exception. From universities to high schools and now including even elementary schools, to late-night TV, to sports, to the arts and, increasingly, science, the Left is a destruction machine.
And nowhere is this damage more evident or tragic than with regard to women.
In fact, nothing demonstrates the power of left-wing ideology as much as what this ideology has done to women. So powerful is leftist ideology, it is more powerful than women's nature.
Here are five examples:
No. 1: The Desire to Bond with a Man
For all of recorded history, virtually all women sought a man with whom to bond. Of course, a progressive would argue that this was true only because all societies implanted this desire in women or because societal pressure gave women little choice about the matter. It is not, progressives would argue, innate to female nature to yearn for a man.
But whatever the reason -- innate nature or societal expectation -- it is a fact that women desiring a man was virtually universal.
Then along came modern left-wing feminism, which communicated to generations of young women through almost every influence in their lives -- most especially teachers and the media -- that a woman doesn't need a man. In the witty words of one feminist aphorism, "A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle."
Unfortunately, however, the reality is most women need a man just as most men need a woman. Most men don't fully grow up without a woman, and most women don't fully grow up without a man (I am, of course, referring to heterosexual women and men). If you need proof, ask almost any married person, man or woman, if marriage matured them.
No. 2: The Desire to Marry
Along with wanting a man, the vast majority of women wanted to marry. It was assumed that wanting that public commitment to and from a man was part of female nature. Yet, the Left has successfully undone that part of women's nature, too.
As a result of feminist and other left-wing indoctrination, the belief that a woman doesn't need a man led to the inevitable upshot: marriage isn't necessary. And it might even be a tool of oppression. And as a result of that, a smaller percentage of American women are marrying than ever before.
This has serious social consequences. We have long known that single men perpetrate most of the violent crime in society. Single men are a societal problem. What we have not acknowledged -- and perhaps not even known -- are the deleterious effects of women not marrying.
While single women don't commit nearly as much violent crime as single men do (though they may be starting to catch up), single women are increasingly a societal problem. The most obvious problem is that women who have children without ever marrying their children's father -- or another man -- produce a highly disproportionate percentage of social misfits. But many women who never give birth nor marry also constitute a societal problem. They are more likely to be angry and to express that anger in support of radical causes that undermine society. As Barron's reported, while overall a mere 14.2% of the population contributed to "racial justice causes" such as Black Lives Matter in 2020, "nearly half of single women in the U.S. -- a larger percentage than single men or married couples -- supported or were actively involved in racial justice protests."
They're not victims, they're perpetrators. Ignorant, yes, but still perpetrators.
First they tell women that they can be just like men.
And then that leaves the opening for men to become women, and be better at it.
What a scam.
what have women done to our country?
You beat me to it. Good post.
“what have women done to our country?”
PLENTY of good stuff...well, until they were granted political power.
Being a woman myself (and yes, unlike our newest associate SCOTUS justice, I can define woman), the Left did not do anything to women that women didn’t want to happen.
The left is women.
The problem is not "the left", the problem is the dissolution of Judaeo-Christian sexual morality as a bedrock assumption of society. (The left is certainly driving that at the moment, but the results are the same no matter who drives it. The hyper-libertarian, Ayn Randian wing of the right is just as much on board with it. Don't forget that Barry Goldwater's wife was a high muckety-muck with Arizona Planned Parenthood.)
The things he cites are just the signs of society's sexual morals returning to the bad old days of paganism.
It's the natural result of multiple generations hearing the lie that "what people do in their bedrooms is none of the government's business," which really means "the generation and rearing of the next generation (or whether there even is a next generation) is none of society's business". Or, in other words, "whether or not our society continues to exist is none of society's business". Does the lie become more obvious when I state it that way?
So-called "hookup culture" is just an outworking of that. Many women, absent any societal pressure toward monogamy, would rather be polygamous. That is, they would prefer to share a high-status man with other women, rather that "settle" for a man of status equivalent to their own. That is what "hookup culture" essentially does. (Very ironic that hookup culture comes from "third-wave" feminism.) That's why women rate 80% of the men on Tinder as "below average". Almost all of "hookup culture" is women chasing sexual encounters with a few high-status males.
Polygamous societies always have a surplus of angry, lower-status, unattached males with little to no investment in society and little practical incentive to improve their status. That's what "incels" are. (I have one under my roof right now.)
“A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.”
This is going to ruin bicycle seat sniffing.
The article looks a bit blinkered and this guy seems to be of the “magic of lady parts to solve all social problems” school of thought(?). We have a libertarian problem, porn is available anywhere anytime, drugs, atheism, these are all destabilizing things. Then we have the lefties with their ever-on-the-move goal posts (because their crap doesn’t work but they are trying to control everything anyway). Silicon Valley decided to move fast and break things, with the result that we have a bunch of broken things. We have instability. No waving of lady parts at the problem is going to solve this mess, only God can save us. This article is no giving honor to women as the weaker vessel.

Prager is a sellout cuck.
the left is why we cannot have nice things
I equate the behavior of women in America to the behavior of FoxNews Republicans. They attack Biden for a gun control speech but they all agree “ghost guns” should be serialized. In other words women cry a lot about their abusers but physically they stay with them and stay kept in the back pocket of their abuser with all kinds of excuses, refusing violently to change the tune of the subduing submissive “security” “government knows better” ideology.
I don’t disagree with anything here, but the time for crying about it has come and gone.
The time for arguing about whose fault it is has certainly passed, as well.
Communism has been working on our freedoms for a long time. It has infiltrated our colleges and schools. It has infiltrated the churches. And it has clearly made a lot of progress.
Stop making it look like there are just tons and tons of good, stable, family relationships left and all everybody has to do is decide to live straight and problem solved. The internet is clearly full of very lonely people who desperately seek connection with someone, anyone, and yet every relationship they have ends in failure. There are millions and millions of kids who have no stable home or anyone to care for them. Preaching about the nuclear family isn’t going to solve the immediate problem and it quite likely won’t solve the long-term problem, either, except in individual cases.
It’s time for the tears, wailing, recrimination, and cycle of blame to stop.
Be an example of bravery, will, determination, and strength to others. Associate with other strong individuals and work aggressively towards ending communism.
Don’t let the Left’s greatest trick be this permanent division between all Americans - male and female, young and old, rich and poor - that roils with hate and enmity.
We’re all in this together: That doesn’t mean “be a pushover for weirdos and losers” but it DOES mean that you need to start giving others a break with the hate and anger.
You can take your kids out of school. You can change jobs. You can relocate to a community where more folks share your values. You CAN do these things and make a difference.
Trying to force everyone into the same pit of rage - so that they see things your way, right? - that’s going to end up in the “starving rats fighting in a barrel” scenario.
The Left is sadistic. They WANT to see your family fall apart. They WANT to see your relationships end in divorce. They WANT for your kids to turn on you. Stand up against them and don’t fight your own family. If someone offends you, get away from him; don’t sit there complaining. If you find your workplace to be full of screeching, ineffective feminazis, find a new job.
“But IT’S SO UNFAIR!!!”
If you just sit and complain and don’t stand up to it, you’re not only not being fair to yourself, you’re not being fair to those who depend on you.
Be brave.
Let us say that women tend easily to becoming psychotic, ie. they will believe any freaking stupid cult mythology out there so long it feels like it is a the majority of what people are adopting in terms of perception.
To that end TV and the left did do these things to women, ie they brought up a mythology and made it feel like it was the archetype and majority of thought out there. (majority in terms of sheer dominance by force and also by numbers)
I think the Bible talks of this abusive marriage or affair between Satan and woman in the bible, with Eve’s foot ever bruised by the snake and vice versa his head, forever united that way in mutual trauma.
Just following their boss's orders ... obedient servants of Ole' Scratch.
Dennis Prager forgot to mention the nonprofits - the groups that use to do good in our country but now whore for white WOKE liberal 'elites'... That includes but is not limited to Catholic Charities, the Salvation Army and the Anti-Defamation League...
Better at it?
Gimme a break - all a trans does is magnify feminine traits to the point of absurdity. Trust me - that’s NOT better...
It would be as if women walked around in plaid shirts, carrying an ax and strutting around like John Wayne. That not ‘being better at being a man’ it’s being a joke.
Get real ‘mustknowhistory’...
