Republished in the Daily Wire, author Sarah Wilder has written a fascinating and, for me, timely article “Women Brag About ‘Man-Hating’ At Dinner And Then Admit What Happens When They Get Home”. We normies who don’t hate the opposite sex nor worship are own rarely pay attention to the fruit loops who are man-hating harpies. Just like the Marxist professors, too many at the high school and college level preach this Fourth Wave Feminism.

I read the Daily Wire article and recognized everything in it immediately. From the opening:

There’s a trend going around social media where women brag about performatively hating on men before returning home to their loving husbands. “Coming home to my man after spending 2 hours being a certified man hater at dinner with the girls,” reads the caption to one video.

This isn’t surprising. From “the future is female” to “everything a man can do a woman can do bleeding,” the culture is full of demoralizing messages about men.

The messages sound like something Gloria Steinem would have said in the 1970’s, right after she repeated the phrase, “A Woman Needs a Man Like a Fish Needs a Bicycle”, from Irina Dunn. It was said without a wink and a nod. Men and women have always gigged each other. It was harmless fun. Yes, there were also rules about things that women could and could not do. On the other hand, men have not exactly had it easy.

More from the Sarah Wilder article:

Under the influence of feminism, equality between the sexes long ago morphed into sameness between the sexes. It became an outright societal faux pas to assert any unique traits between men and women that might mean one sex is better than the other at doing some particular thing or exhibiting some particular trait.

Now, boys are told they are outright useless. As pop star Sabrina Carpenter sings in her hit song “Manchild,” “Baby, what do you call it?/ Stupid?/ Or is it slow?/ Maybe it’s useless?/ But there’s a cuter word for it/ I know/ Manchild!”

To our culture, men are second-rate women. It’s a complete reversal of the most cartoonish sexism of yesterday. Men are seen as less compassionate, less interesting, less emotionally intelligent, and less communicative women. Little time is spent engaging with the many ways in which men tend to possess uniquely strong character and personality traits. We ignore these traits at our own peril; they are absolutely essential for the building of a just society.

It takes both sides of the coin to build a functional society.

How to destroy a society:

Make men weak
Make women masculine
Make education manipulation
Make the truth offensive
Make families unstable
Make strength toxic
Make food fake

There is at least one hardcore feminist in my book club. This month we read “The Book Club for Troublesome Women”. The women weren’t troublesome until the read “The Feminine Mystique” by Betty Friedan. The Friedan book told White, Upper Class suburban women how much their lives sucked. The only character I like was Delilah the horse with laminitis. truly.

While my Appalachian female relations were working before sun-up to after sundown, along with their urban sisters of every color, the upper-class suburban women were getting manicure and bemoaning their lack of choices. Those were the women of feminist Betty Friedan.

From about a decade ago, a woman from Beattyville, not too far from my family’s home in Hazard, Kentucky, talked about her poverty and working two jobs. Would Betty Friedan even recognize this woman?

Men no longer feel obligated to stay because there is a child. That leads to estrangement between the sexes and poverty also.

More from the article:

As women, we can’t say we want “real men” who are confident and strong providers and then trash the entire sex as sub-rate humans just because they don’t emote like women. We can’t expect boys growing up in this culture to rise to the occasion and become the masculine men we need in society if they grow up being dismissed just for existing.

We must assert that men are valuable in society and have unique capabilities and strengths compared to women, just as women do compared to men. That means we must do something that would make a lot of Western women uncomfortable, even those who wouldn’t necessarily describe themselves as feminist. We have to stop treating female character traits as inherently good and men’s as inherently bad. We have to assert that it is a good thing that men are more aggressive. If compassion and emotional intelligence are important for a cohesive community, then so is a penchant for competitiveness and emotional stoicism.

The Feminist Fantasy of Virile Women and Delicate Men is a fantasy that I hope is never fulfilled. That who “toxic masculinity” thing was dangerous. Men shouldn’t have been painted with that kind of negative brush.

By the by, in my family my generation was the first to not work outside of the home, to be a stay home Mom.
