This chick needs to get laid. Find a boyfriend and chill out.

What planet does Heather Mac Donald live on?

If I had the money and time, I’d ask Heather to let me spend a day with her to see/feel the horrible environment she speaks of. I’m willing to bet that it’s nothing remotely near what she writes about.

True, there are bad people on every corner of the Earth. And, there seems to be a higher percentage of them in Democrat led cities like Chicago. If Heather’s experience is so very horrible, she should move. Preferably to a 2A friendly state where no one really knows who and is not carrying a firearm. If Heather cannot find someplace suitable in the US... there’s always Venezuela. Or Cuba.

American women live under a suffocating patriarchy. Rape culture flourishes in the United States. Toxic masculinity stunts the emotional and professional growth of American females. Sexual harassment and predation are ubiquitous in American workplaces. College campuses are maelstroms of sexual violence. Female students need safe spaces where they can escape abusive male power.

Wait! So when a woman says this, it's NOT cryptic foreplay?

[BlueLancer]

Which reality do progressives actually believe? They likely hold both mutually exclusive concepts in their heads simultaneously, unaware of the contradiction, toggling smoothly between one and the other according to context. But both claims cannot be true.

"Alice laughed: "There's no use trying," she said; "one can't believe impossible things."

"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

[immadashell]

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accuses the Trump administration of “staggering cruelty” in condemning “vulnerable innocent women to a lifetime of violence and even death.”

First of all, she is the EX-House Speaker. Next, everytime she shows up on TV I consider myself a victim of “staggering cruelty.”

[Mrs. Don-o]

Tsk. Gentlemen. Kindly read past the first paragraph.

The entire first paragraph is Heather Macdonald's parody of the way radical fembots talk. What she's doing here is pointing out that they are inconsistent to the point of incoherence.

On the one hand, they claim the USA is an oppressive patriarchal prison where women are constantly marginalized, suppressed and abused. On the other hand, the invite all the world's victimized women to immigrate to the USA for safety and freedom.

Heather Macdonald is not one of the fembots. She is one of their most effective critics.

“American women live under a suffocating patriarch”
The waaaambulance is on its way.

[bgill]

She needs to spend one hour in some jihadist camp in Iran.

[polymuser]

Oh my, Heather!

She must have had a bad daddy, or no daddy and a toxic mommy.

She needs to go live in Iran a few years. She needs to disassociate from all things invented and built by males.

[48th SPS Crusader]

Feel free to move to Iran or any Middle Eastern or African muslim nation, or you could even try South America. Yeah that would work for you!

[Tom in SFCA]

I’m laughing at all of the FReepers who can’t read.

This site has gone full retard.

[Sans-Culotte]

For a moment I thought this was satire. It’s pretty funny.

[ScottinVA]

Folks, you are wildly misunderstanding Heather’s point.

Go to City Journal and you’ll see a single small paragraph encapsulate her point:

——————-
America the Horrible?

Progressives say that the United States is racist and misogynist, but they still want everyone in the world to come here.

In their open-borders afternoon mode, progressives paint the U.S. as the only source of hope and opportunity for low-skilled, low-social-capital Third Worlders; a place obligated by its immigration history to take in all comers, forever.

What they actually think of the U.S. isn't "land of opportunity" but "land of redistribution", and the people who the progressives want to come here are not intended to contribute, but to consume a surplus that was illegitimately constructed off the efforts of the usual victim classes. Wealth is theft, goes this line of thought, and theft must be punished.

There is, in addition, a sort of level of abstraction going on with this ideology - such inequalities are intolerable on a national level but perfectly permissible locally. Many of the proponents are, after all, residents of comfortable academic enclaves and gated communities, more or less immune from the thunderbolts of righteousness they are calling down upon others. When one is, heaven help us, "woke" to the injustice of inequality, one has transcended any guilt for participation. Convenient doctrine.

So yes, those of us in coveralls do occasionally find the stern lecturing from people in thousand-dollar suits to be a bit tiresome. These are the real privileged in this society, wealthy, immune, and utterly convinced of their own moral superiority. It's often a permanent affliction.

Dear Heather,

Please feel free to move to Europe, where there’s no patriarchy, and women in short skirts are free to flit around from muslim immigrant to muslim immigrant, with absolutely nothing to fear.

Or Latin and South America, because as we know, there’s no history of macho culture there.

Or the Middle East, (except Israel, because, you know... Jews.)

Or China. That may be your best bet. You can have all the government paid abortions you want, just get pregnant, and China will suck that little baby right out of your uterus. Sounds like your sort of feminist paradise!
