It’s mind-boggling to me how the first couple waves of feminism gave them workplace equality, suffrage, a basic human identity, and even supported the world as a whole by boosting economic growth and GDP; and modern (“toxic”) feminists destroyed it all.
Do you guys think 1960s and 1970s feminists would have liked 2020s feminists? In my opinion: absolutely not.
The movement for women achieved everything they initially wanted to achieve (and more! Because they still weren’t included in selective service in the United States, therefore actually giving them more legal freedoms than men for the first time ever). But modern, power-hungry feminists have got behind this idea that women are still somehow disadvantaged, with close to zero real examples or statistics to back that principle up, and kept pushing for more.
Congrats, ladies! You’ve put men and boys down in nearly every aspect of life and you still aren’t done! The only current major part of life where women are still disadvantaged is fashion (they usually need to spend more on clothes and makeup to be socially accepted), and, to give them a taste of their own medicine, “guess who set that system up?” They did, by becoming significantly more consumerous than men and raising the social standard way higher than it ever should have been.
Even their three main modern talking points can be debunked and easily proven that men get the short end of the stick:
- Domestic violence & harassment: I have a strong reason to believe that men are more frequently affected by this. A lot of it against men goes unreported.
- Reproductive rights: Not even close. Paternity fraud and (even more so) blatant court biases put hundreds of men in the hole financially every single day. Their wallet, not their choice. And no, nobody blames women for having unprotected sex.
- Wage gap: Flat out does not exist. And even if it did, we all know women are respected much more in any type of workplace that it almost makes a wage gap reasonable.
Those are only their current planks, and it doesn’t mention at least 10 other huge inequalities that have always deteriorated the lives of men (that they, of course, turn a blind eye too).
Pretty insane. I don’t just feel bad for men and boys today—I wish I could apologize to the feminists of the 60s and 70s who fought for equality for BOTH GENDERS and had it all go down the drain. I truly believe they would be unhappy with the substantial privilege they would carry if they were alive today.
