Feminism — Lies, Despair, Devastated Lives

They claim to be representing all women and they believe that their ideology is there to make women's lives better. The reality however is much different. They've been around for decades and the results are grim to say the least:
If you look just at test scores and grades, you get the notion that girls are doing great and boys are struggling. But if you look at the literature, you see that more than one in five girls is cutting herself and/or burning herself with matches. More than one in four high-school girls is binge drinking. Today, one in eight females in the U.S. takes anti-depressants. There’s been an enormous escalation in anxiety and depression among girls and young women.
...
Jean Twenge, a professor at San Diego State University, compared how kids from roughly the same demographic have answered those questions over time, and she found that 40 years ago, it was rare for teenage girls to answer yes to questions like “Are you ever so anxious you can’t concentrate or focus?” and “Do you ever find yourself waking up in the middle of the night?” Today, it’s very common for girls to say yes. In fact, she found that the average teenage girl today is more anxious than the average girl admitted to a psychiatric unit for in-patient treatment 50 years ago. In 1966, a popular show in the U.S. was Gidget, about a giggly teenage girl. Today it just wouldn’t resonate. Now girls watch Gossip Girl, which is about anxious teens trying to present a sexual persona, who have all kinds of obsessions and neuroses. A whole lot of girls find solace in the notion that anxiety is now the norm.
How could that happen? How come such good intentions led to such an outcome? Well, let's take a closer look at their "achievements":
• To end dependence on men, they’ve pushed for women in the workplace. Any woman not choosing career over family is seen as a traitor and failing to achieve their potential. As such, women end up depending on the government for survival and likely forcing them and their child to live in poverty. Feminists then push for government-run daycare where some women are paid low wages to care other people’s children while the added tax burden to single income families forces more women into the workforce. More working women also means that lazy men are now sponging off the woman’s income.

• They have been harsh critics of marriage, viewing the role of “wife” and “mother” to be oppressive. Forget the fact that marriage is the primary stabilizing factor that leads to greater physical, psychological and financial health for all family members. Marriage is known to have a civilizing effect on men and provides stability and security that most benefits women.

• They have been advocates of easing divorce laws and promoting co-habitation, thus making it far easier for men to walk out on their responsibilities and get sex without commitment...
And it turns out more and more that they're not really acting in women's best interest. That not only they have become slaves to their own ideology, (especially when it comes to such issues as coerced abortions, gender selected abortions and assaults on pregnant women that result in loss of a child,) but it often seems like some of them are driven by... envy:
The fact is that the old guard feminists of today don’t really believe in true emancipation or happiness for women much younger than they are. The feminists want their “daughters” to drudge through the same misery, bitterness, and loneliness that they are now experiencing. Their goal has never been about true gender rights. If it were, they would oppose abortion on the basis of gender – which they don’t. And they would be disburbed by the fact that contraception is really for irresponsible men and not ultimately for women who have to settle for some loser later on in life because that’s the “sex economy” which contraception has created.

Why would a heathen man want to get married with all of the responsibilities and duties that that entails, when he can get sex for “free”, by playing the younger market now? And when he gets older, he can parachute into marriage with a younger woman in her mid to late 30s because the 20-year olds won’t look at him any more. As we see in society today, there are more and more marriages between an older man and a younger woman. This confirms Reichart’s thesis in spades. If it wasn’t for lads like yours truly, there wouldn’t be any equitable marriages around. What the feminist fools did not realize is that marriage was there to protect women, not men!
And it's not like they are learning from past mistakes. They still try to present myths as facts, peddling chemical contraception in spite of the side effects. They're still try to hide from reality behind Orwellian slogans such as "abortion is love". Yes, imagine this. They welcome women to celebrate mother's day at the abortion clinic, without mentioning that this is the place where a woman becomes an orphaned mother, a mother of a dead baby.

Should anyone wonder then why some half-a-century of radical feminist domination in the public square resulted in nothing but more emptiness, despair and devastated lives?

it's all out there said...

just going to point out one thing -> older men marrying younger women is not a modern trend. read the bible. look at census records. nor is it a 'corruption of morals' thing. look at any highly 'moral' culture or religious group and you'll find just as high of a percentage of older men/younger women as you would anywhere else. if you've got some stats for this i would LOVE to see it. i would also like to see a unicorn, but i don't think either are very likely.
