Marxist Feminism’s Ruined Lives

[Veto!]

I no longer read as much of it as I used to because feminist fantasy has taken over much of the genre and even the historical romances has heroines thinking such feminist thoughts.

What a horrible loss. I used to like Danielle Steel…don't know who is writing her stuff now, it's dreadful.

To me the money quote is the recitation of the Maoist back and forth identifying the goal of destroying the family and the means used to do it.

I’ve never seen such documented, in the first person by a reputable source who was a participant, before. And this writer provides the names of the senior members of the Feminist Movement who were there.

This isn’t so much an opinion piece as a documentary that confirms much of what has only been assumed and alleged. I can’t stress how valuable it is in that regard.

[tanknetter]

To answer your question, I think that they fell into the category of believing that Marxism hadn’t worked because the right people hadn’t tried creating it yet. And they saw themselves as the “right” people to make it happen.

I’d also add that there was clearly an element of narcissism and power involved. Ayres may be a radical ideologue, but he’s first and foremost an opportunist, sociopathic thug. The ideological stuff was just his vehicle for fulfilling his baser needs.

Priests were discouraged from marriage and children because it discouraged them from the care of the flock and the holy mission.
Feminists realized the same thing - motivation flags when you have a family and other priorities. So tell the enchanted members not to have kids, but do have sex without commitment because it creates more unattached people to promote the meme.
The differences between rabid feminists and male priests are:
* feminists engage in sexual warfare to destroy families, while priests without families promote the creation of new families
* feminists regularly kill their own children to remain child-free, while the celibate religious choose a life to avoid the creation of children they cannot care for in devotion to their higher cause
* a pure feminist society results in broken families with worse life outcomes for the next generation, whereas religious promotion of intact families improves it

But the childlessness and radical devotion to the cause make feminists and male priests similar in their lives but with polar opposite intents/purposes - except to spread their ideologies.

The devolution of feminists into worshipers of Moloch, where Nancy Pelosi calling abortion a sacrament and some feminists describing abortion as a release, holy and sacred right does make them a deliberate incarnation of that true opposite of Christianity.

I do too. I read Bertrice Small because in her books the women are strong, smart and for the most part attractive. In each and every one of them though the women believe in marriage and the family.

I think it would be to do an in-depth research on the backgrounds of the original founders of the feminist movement. I have a feeling that you would find that many of them had very bad experiences and relationships with the men in their lives. IOW, they decided in their immaturity and stupidity that all men we evil. They completely lost any and all objectivity. JMHO

I think that's true of some. Andrea Dworkin comes to mind. In the late 60's a left-wing girl could be considered a poor sport if she objected to being used sexually by any left-wing man who grabbed her, and of course a woman who reported rape to the police was a right-winger, a snitch and a word that rhymes with snitch.

And it was women of the Left who defined the style and content of feminism from the late 60's onward.

It was not so in the 19th century, which is considered the "First Wave" of feminism. Many of the top feminists were pro-life (like Alice Paul, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony) as well as pro-marriage. A lot of interesting history of the Pro-Life Feminists of the 19th century is here (LINK).

Thank you. I will check it out.

I notice some romance authors writing happy for now endings with the heroine being ok with no marriage or children. Yet another example of feminists taking over the genre and ruining it.

[Jean2]

I notice that too.

I did not fully wake up to what the left was doing in targeting white men for “equal rights” until I was married with two sons. I was too young to hear the horses’ mouths of the movement. I finally figured out what they were up to. The ranks of the hard core were small by then and they had to hide their motives. Their movement was a mindless steam roller by then.

When I figured it out I got off my butt and got busy against them and fought for equal rights for white men in employment and college entry.

By the way, here's the sister, the feminist revolutionary Kate Millet, as she was then:

And as she is now:

[Albion Wilde]

I remember reading Kate Millet's "Sexual Politics" way back when. I'm talking about 40 years ago. ...she struck me as being so anti-heterosexuality, as if male desire and even male physiological function were inherently a bad thing.... Having known normal males who were normal good boys and good men, I eventually realized I was immune to the most virulent strains of feminism.

Me, too. Graduated in the 60s top of my class. Immediately got jobs (people wanted my talents) for $ half, or less than $ half, of the men around me, no matter how much new business I was generating. So when I heard about feminism and "equal pay for equal work," I thought it could help. A friend and I went to the first ever NOW meeting in our large city.

We could not wait to walk out. Lesbian recruiting; denunciations of men; frizzy-haired, Birkenstock-wearing hippie hairy armpit unkempt prairie-dressed wymyn raging and acting like male losers. Out we went.

Not that it stopped me from trying to get equal pay for equal work; but I was not about to swap being a wife and mom for anything they were selling.

Totally agree. Saved to HD.

Ping!

Great read, thanks!

[wjcsux]

I’ve known women who fell for this creed in their youth who now, in their fifties and sixties, cry themselves to sleep decades of countless nights grieving for the children they’ll never have and the ones they coldly murdered because they were protecting the empty loveless futures they now live with no way of going back. “Where are my children? Where are my grandchildren?” they cry to me.

I have heard this before. So sad.

Here’s a good one from my alma mater about a course on
Gender, Race and Property Law:

“We will consider several forms of property, giving particular attention to the intersection of property law and criminal law. A key example is the property crime of shoplifting and how it has traditionally been framed by gender and racial norms. No background in law is needed.”

My conservative counterpoint on the whole course:
“Shoplifting... don’t eff-ing do it, you idiot.”
