The lie is so profound...
Women have LOST all their power. Women are more objectified now than ever. Women have lost all respect and all roads toward respect. They have lost all security, and protection.
What has been traded for this illusion of power is every single female thing. And it is the very worst aspect of our time.
In the end, men will be men. We are built for autonomy, and we are self contained. Those that buy into the lie lose their masculinity, and the rest of us point and laugh. We lose hearth and home, good food and children, but we can fall back on our own cooking, bar food, and temporary companions. We will BE just fine.
But women are losing it ALL.
The biggest lie of the feminist movement was the one propagated by their high leaders, like Gloria Steinem, that males and females are virtually identical in mental processes.
If that were true, then men dominating the fields of science, engineering, tech, etc. is only due to the oppression of women.
That belief coincided with the "blank slate" theory of brain development in that we are only what we are inculcated with, and genetics counts for nothing as far as mental processes.
We now know that idea is bunk and that we are hard-wired for most mental processes, and males and females differ greatly in their brain wiring.
Those sixties feminists told women that men are their enemy and were to be opposed and defeated if at all possible. Many of those feminists still hold those views and poison the minds of young women. Many of them are also in academia where they do the most harm.
Quite a bit of today's societal problems can be traced to those lunatic, leftist, radical feminists and their war on men.
