How Feminism Created An Insufferable Class Of Supposedly ‘Infallible Females’
Carrie Gress
The feminists have overplayed their hand. Men and women are finally rejecting their tyrannical, entitled, and condescending mien.
Intellectual nonsense from elite women is surprisingly commonplace and continues unabated. One need look no further than Meryl Streep’s recent rant that the SAVE Act will disenfranchise married women, Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s practice of changing the pronouns in books when reading to her children, or most anything said by the ladies on The View. Long left unchecked, the West has been living for decades under the tyranny of “infallible females” — women who never get fact-checked, receive push-back, or hear moral correction.
The road to female infallibility started innocently enough, with most believing that feminism was only trying to level the playing field. Things then accelerated quickly. Feminism had a secret weapon: It was kryptonite for men. Given men’s natural disinclination to fight with women, good men simply went silent about women’s lib, while the bad ones “benefitted” from and promoted it. Without any societal restraint, feminists ran amok, eventually saturating the culture with female dominance, entitlement, and self-righteous confidence.
Anyone who grew up watching TV remembers the endless stream of female-targeted sitcoms and commercials emphasizing women’s competence over men: Men couldn’t buy a car, diaper a baby, or clean a kitchen without a woman’s sage supervision. Advertisers knew that portraying women’s faux superiority over men sold cars, toilet paper, and processed foods. The mirage didn’t stop there. Hiring quotas and lowered physical fitness requirements gave the impression that male/female interchangeability could be achieved, paired with flawed and persistent rhetoric about unequal pay and the glass ceiling. #BelieveAllWomen also fortified the notion that women never lie, especially about sexual assault.
Infallible females also significantly affect work environments, particularly through quotas and DEI hiring. Mediocre female employees have been flattered, platformed, and promoted, and the workplace “feminized” — as Helen Andrews has made plain — while femininity was eradicated. The most toxic of women are tolerated for fear that they will take their tale of woe to a deeply sympathetic press or courtroom. The result is that conscientious male and female employees are demoralized, turning the pursuit of excellence into a farce.
