The Kavanaugh Smear War Broke My Decades-Long Support For Feminism
The Federalist ^ | 10/12/2018 | Albert Marrewa

Posted on 10/13/2018 11:40:49 AM PDT by Rusty0604

For more than two decades, I traveled the country facilitating rape and assault prevention lectures, seminars, and workshops for women of all ages. I was passionate about this work, committed to the cause, and believed wholeheartedly that what I was doing was a wholly virtuous endeavor. I considered myself a feminist. But that was then, and this is now.

All these years I silently stood by and watched third-wave feminism (with assistance from the radical left) methodically take a sledgehammer to Western society as a whole, and males in particular. Foolishly, I hoped things would eventually turn around, only to see things get worse over time.

Astonishingly, after having been an advocate for women my entire adult life, I quickly learned I was still considered the “enemy,” simply for being a man.

Never in my wildest dreams (or nightmares) did I imagine that someday the opposite sex would view me as a threat.

As regrettable as it is, the recent attempt by all the usual suspects to block Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court at the eleventh hour by destroying his character, reputation, and life, via salacious, unsubstantiated, and uncorroborated allegations of sexual misconduct dating back thirty-odd years to when he was but a teenager, has obliterated the last vestiges of the “women’s advocate” dwelling inside my heart.

A globalist oligarchy would want groups pitted against one another. This benefits the elite powers.

The #metoo movement to expose powerful men and their abuse of women who work for them is a good thing. These men are not by any means all men, and they need to be called out and punished.

Women who wish to report on such men behaving badly in the past need to realize that without witnesses, dna, or other evidence, they don’t have a case. Look at Bill Cosby - the perfect example. Other than the cacophony or harmony of the great numbers, the only case that could get this egregious rapist put away was the one within the statute of limitation.

So women can be believed, or not believed, depending on what corroboration they show.

Just because some men behave very badly does not mean women can’t lie.

And women victims (myself included) need to understand that with the passing of time, there is little chance of our abusers getting punished. It is what it is, and in the past, young girls were afraid for so many reasons to come forward.

Men and women should not fear each other. That helps only those who profit from the ensuing social unrest.

This editorial exemplifies just how clueless men are about this category of women. Femnazis aren't independent or willing to work for their goals. They're all about their feelings of superiority and entitlement.

That's why I'm hopeful that the "guilty until proven innocent" mob scenes against Kavanaugh might backfire. The women who support mob rule to get their way were never going to vote for a Republican anyway. But normal women who aren't indoctrinated? They might be fearing for the futures of their husbands, brothers, and sons if a woman can destroy any man in her way with just an accusation. And for blacks, isn't this bringing back cultural memories of nooses and lynchings?

Decades later, it looks like he’s finally come to his senses.

This guy sounds like a typical self emasculated loser. They’re all over. Depressing how many are in our churches.

He’s responsible in part for the situation we find ourselves in. It’s good he’s getting a clue but he’s got a way to go.

I’ve never been a feminist.. Always thought they were riding a trend that had started before them! They saw something taking hold and decided to jump on the bandwagon to benefit themselves personally. They don’t want to be treated equally.. They want to be treated like spoiled little princesses.

And Geez Louise.. A man can support women without calling himself a freakin’ feminist! How embarrassing!

What a world!

From what I’ve experienced, there is little that is feminine about the feminists. Weird. I see them as having less gentleness, compassion, humility, and kindness. There is less that is soft —- appearing to revel in being harsh and easily offended. Prickly pears.

The fundamental truth is that the banshees shrieking lies at Justice Kavanaugh, are truly militant feminists; but no one hates the truly feminine woman more than the militant feminist.

This author is just figuring this out?? Idiot. Still, it seems to be waking up. There might be hope.

You are right, of course. Egalitarianism never elevates, it always tears down. It focus on self-destructive imaginary grievances, not on actual talents or on achievable aspirations.

Conservative women who love God, Constitution and USA are the real heroine’s among women. Are they celebrated in the media culture? Nope quite the opposite. Only Lieberal women need apply and the real heroine’s of the nation get the smear job from leftards and feminists. Look who oppresses conservative women and conservative blacks?

I feel for Ford’s children. What a witch to diminish, actual victims of sex abuse crimes. I pray she reaps everything she set in motion a thousand fold.

Thank you. I will read it when I have some time later today.

I’m preparing dinner ahead of time before the family arrives.

“This idiot cuck is part of the problem.”

###################

Certainly he *was* part of the problem, but this white knight seems to be red pilled now. This is a great line:

“To be sure, every man—regardless of his age, race, political persuasion, or sexual orientation—is in their crosshairs, but especially those who embody traditional masculine qualities, such as strength, discipline, direction, independence, confidence, and assertiveness. And God help him if he’s also white, Christian, conservative, affluent, or holds a position of power.”

When they’ve lost guys like this, they’ve lost everyone but lezzy and abort-o-bot, adopt-an-STD-females. In short, they’ve overreached catastrophically.

I think she has two sons, as I remember thinking, would she want her sons to be put through that.
