I'm older (OK, old) and I have rented out rooms to millennial women. I can safely say that most seem lost. They do not know how to date, how to interact with men. They dress nice, look fabulous, know how to walk the walk, talk the talk -- but they do not "think feminine."
One young woman, who is very nice -- and gorgeous to boot -- bears some hostility toward her father (parents are divorced). Others laugh about "girl power." They are into the Instagram images of all the cool, "groovy" (my age is showing) people. One of them hopes to get married some day, but is doing little to show a focused, responsible life. She pays the rent & utilities, but works part-time & spends the rest of the day partying.
I also partly agree with Rush Limbaugh. The feminist movement has definitely been empowering to formerly marginalized women. And don't get me wrong: I am glad women do have more options & opportunities. But somewhere along the way young women forgot how to be women. They see the traditional female role as either a burden or a male plot.
Which it never was. For most of history men & women struggled together; life was a struggle. Around 300 years ago, once life started getting better (thank you, white males), women advanced. Middle-class women in particular found more leisure time, probably too much. They have been the ones in the back of all these stupid parades & initiatives.
I'm female, and I can no longer stand being around other women. While I acknowledge the problem of toxic masculinity, toxic femininity is equally problematic.
“I can safely say that most seem lost.”
Yes. The young men are also lost. Their impulse is to pursue the women, but 80% of women find only 20% of men to be attractive. A tall, even somewhat handsome guy can go on Tinder and have all the sex he can dream of. An average or below average girl can do the same. What a life. How fulfilling. Ugh. Emptiness and VD. What a life. Islamic sexual demographics in the Land of the Free. Ugh.
