Hey everyone. Told I was reading an article called "feminism, the noble lie" which is a debunking of a lot of feminist viewpoints. I thought the author would debunk some feminist studies or statistics but instead he gives a very long, painful-to-read rant about how all societies have been patriarchal and how women have always been, and will always be, under the boot of men. He also cites another website here, also saying that patriarchy is inevitable: http://goldberg-logic.com/

He even says that women will never have the ability to do what we want without the permission of men, and that we have always been, and will always be, severely oppressed:

"Both men and women feel that the dominance resides in the male and that the woman must “get around” the man to attain her way. Even when male dominance is absent from law (as in the United States) or formal custom (as in “chivalrous” societies), the expectation is still one of male dominance. This is attested to in the U.S., for example, by the feminist’s detestation of male dominance and her incorrect attempt to explain it in purely social terms. One might well argue that, in some families in all societies, some women have more power—the ability to “get around” men to “get their way” by cleverness, persuasiveness, etc,—but what is universal is the feeling—expressed in adages, songs, etc. of every society--that there is a male dominance that must be “gotten around.” This reality may be abhorred or favored. (A preference for men who “take the lead” was prevalent seventy years ago, but it is not the values or attitudes that are primarily causal of dominance.)"

As a woman, this is EXTREMELY depressing to me, because they are basically saying that my gender will be always be enslaved, and that is absolutely horrible to hear.

Also, all the issues that we are fighting, that men die younger, men;s lives are more disposable, male homelessness, men's workplaces deaths will continue to persist.

What do you think?
