Feminism is a pet project of the elite class, meant to destroy the nuclear family.
The nuclear family was the cornerstone of the middle class. Someone born in a nuclear middle class family had every type of support (moral, emotional, financial) to assure upward social mobility (into upper middle class then upper class). The middle class made "the American dream" a possible reality. The dream that each generation will fare better than it's parents. Nowadays the dream is more like a fantasy. I don't even need to post sources for this since you've probably seen/heard is everywhere. Wealth inequality is at an all-time high, non-CEO wages have stagnated in value since the early 70s.
Now, it would be stupid to blame any of the above on feminism. There are way too many variables for it to be that easy. Feminism's contribution was it's subversive effect on society.
So what were the main benefits of feminism (benefits for the elite) since the first wave until now?
doubling of the workforce:
- more tax revenue
- more women in universities - acquiring debt through student loans
- more debt in general (since women make the most consumer product purchases)
- doubling of the competition in the job market -> now in favor of the employer
- wage slavery (consequence of intense competition for jobs and the resulting unemployment rates)
- a switch from women prioritizing the security part of hypergamy (before women had incomes) towards the prioritization of the sexual part of hypergamy (the carousel)
convincing women that being a wife is akin to being a slave
- destabilization of the family unit
- introduction of the no fault divorce (wife gets compensated even if the wife ruins the marriage)
- predatory divorce laws (transfer of wealth from men to women -> women spend it ->wages paid come right back as profits through consumerism)
- draconian custody laws
- rising single motherhood (the negative effects of this phenomenon are astounding)
demonizing masculinity
- tension between genders (divide et impera)
- setting up young boys for failure (in the absence of a positive male role-model...or any male role-model at all) ->no chance of being any threat to the elite class.
- convincing young women to fear men (stop looking at men as protectors but as aggressors -> they look at big daddy government as protectors -> they vote for a bigger goverment with a bigger reach with more social programs (welfare, healthcare, education) ->more taxation (payed by the middle class).
infantilization of women (victim complex, unaccountability and denial of responsibility)
anxiety, depression and a wide range of disorders - as a result of going against everything that comes naturally to them and embracing what is self-destructive 1 of every 4 women take mental health drugs
