Mark Steyn once opined that feminism could only have been invented by 12 year old boys:, free love, no bras, women paying their own way…

[the OlLine Rebel]

Honestly, it could be “how the sexual revolution led to all this nonsense”.

Or, The Pill, or, better condoms, and hippiedom. All basically late ‘60s.

We have become obsessed with sex, above all else, most important while being glib about it, and it’s no wonder homosexuals were likewise included and encouraged in this hedonism, and then anything truly goes. Hedonism Uber alles.

Feminism?

More like Masculinism.

“the feminist vision was to help women become more like men“

This is evident watching old movies and tv shows. Female characters who go into gratuitous long winded speeches about hew they like to knock off a piece and move on.

[Albion Wilde]

The idea was to get rid of the connection between women and motherhood. Among first-wave activists, Elizabeth Cady Stanton said, “The woman is uniformly sacrificed to the wife and mother.”

As if the man is not sacrificed to the husband and father.

These loons had no appreciation for the work of the Creator.

[Albion Wilde]

And in 1986 Marie Shear: “Feminism is the radical notion that women are people.” Curiously, no one was denying the humanity of women at this stage, particularly in cultures animated by Christian ideals.

I would vigorously argue with the absolutism of this claim. It was the too-large undertow of spouse and child abuse that "no one" was talking about untll the 1980s that animated much of the arguments against marriage. If emotional, physical and sexual abuse had not been significant problems, the anti-marriage outflow would not have taken hold.

That said, incremental improvements to society would have been worthy campaigns. So-called feminism need not have “thrown it all away.” Liberalism always goes too far.

[Albion Wilde]

As early as the 1800s, Percy B. Shelley, who promoted a “women’s revolution,” presciently suggested that society would one day eliminate the “detestable distinction” of sex differences. Future feminists followed his lead.

Shelley was a brilliant poet; and also an avowed atheist and free-love proponent who catted around extensively under this philosophy.

[Albion Wilde]

“Gender” tinkering came to a head in 1949 with Simone de Beauvoir’s statement: “One is not born, but rather becomes a woman.” Her idea was that the attainment of womanhood was no longer exclusive to those born female.

I would argue that this interpretation of de Beauvoir's statement goes too far. Beauvoir was speaking in poetic license or hyperbole about the gendered role expectations placed on women, that stratifed social roles of males and females are taught and reinforced from childhood onward.

While I have not read her extensively, I doubt she believed that biological sex is possible to completely erase, as today's transgenderist loons apppear to believe. Rather, she argues for the "spectrum" of mental and emotional traits, from mostly F to mostly M, upon which individuals can be characterized through their inborn propensities.

Individuals' choices in life (identification) can certainly move that needle in one direction or another via beliefs or behaviors; but cannot change genetic sex or DNA.

[Albion Wilde]

This “victimized minority” category is exactly what gay activist Franklin Kameny recognized as the key to advancing so-called gay rights, so he rebranded homosexuality as “an oppressed cultural minority.”

Also a non-Christian.

[Albion Wilde]

The arrival of the Pill and other modes of birth control slowly but steadily changed heterosexuals’ view of sex. There was a massive psychological shift away from viewing reproduction as the primary purpose of sexual activity to focusing solely on sex for personal pleasure. This move made it intellectually difficult for heterosexual couples who used contraception to fundamentally distinguish their relationship from that of a homosexual union. Both, albeit for different reasons, were sterile.

Bingo. The medical weaponization of cultural marxist sex. The Supreme Court in the early 70s helped spread the various forms of birth control beyond the doctor's office, where it had been reserved for married women, out into the general population, which in turn enabled and supported the practices of unmarried sex, cohabitation and what was formerly known as illegitimacy.
