Amy, you really have covered thus pretty well.
Feminists have hurt women in many ways. One older female friend of mine was a pretty lady, but a fairly hard-core feminist. Only in her later years, after she was past 40 or so (but she still looked great), did she come to realize that men weren’t out to hurt her. But by then she’d dated a gay guy for over ten years in a basically non-sexual relationship and a bunch of divorced men who were easy for her to use and turn down. She’s approaching 60 and has never been married and wishes she’d lived her life in an entirely different way.
She knew “nice” guys who would have, as she thought, tied her down, even though the ladies they married were/are still quite happy. But she went for the higher profile men and made sure they kept their distance.
She openly states the many ways the feminist movement’s bilge corrupted her and many others she’s known. She’s been pretty conservative for some years now, but her tastes are still fixed in the directions to which she was accustomed in many ways.
She still looks pretty good, and she’s pretty engaging, but she’s dated or knows all the guys in her city that amount to anything. Unfortunately, single, conservative Christian men are hard to come by at 57.
I hope the best for her, as she’s quite alone now after her parents and sister have passed on.
Feminism has helped lay waste to many lives as it has sought to undermine a country.
Sounds like there were a lot of lucky guys who dodged a bullet.
