This truth really hurts

Worth the read for the white-feather perspective alone. I know about it but it makes much more sense the way it is framed in the above article. Pretty powerful piece of history. What would a modern woman say when confronted with the fact that women in the first world war shamed men into dying.

Probably the same thing Hillary Clinton said:

"Women have always been the primary victims of war. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons in combat. Women often have to flee from the only homes they have ever known. Women are often the refugees from conflict and sometimes, more frequently in today’s warfare, victims. Women are often left with the responsibility, alone, of raising the children."

I love that quote, it is like a full frame, high-definition candid photo of how society really sees the genders.

As a nonfeminist female I found this article enlightening. I had never heard of the white feather story and would like to read more about the CIA and Rockefeller connections. I've always felt shamed by feminist for not conforming, It's as if either I agree with them or I'm some stupid pathetic child who wants a caveman to club me over the head and drag me into the kitchen. Both of those options are ludicrous.

FTA:

That feminism is a movement created by the world’s elites and fed to women through lies and flattery is also evident when start-up funding for feminist institutions comes through governments or from hereditary banking families like the Rockefellers.

Gloria Steinem was financed during her startup of Ms Magazine indirectly by the the CIA and the Rockefeller foundation. [1] This was documented New York Times article in February 1967[1]. and confirmed by Henry Markow in a 2002 article called “How the CIA Used Feminism to Destabilize Society”[2].

If you think the CIA and Rockefeller Foundation are on your side, I have a bridge to sell you.

The innovative strategy employed by the Rockefellers et al. is called "divide and conquer" with a dash of "hire one half to kill the other half."

From the comments:

I say we make another phrase amongst MRAs; White-feathering.

Applicable primarily to women shaming men with statements such as “man up” “be a real man”. And whenever they assess a man’s status of manhood or what they believe a real man is.

White-feathering.
