Janice Fiamengo: Fakery, Posing, and Madness - Feminism Comes of Age in the 1960s

Professor of English, Janice Fiamengo, began as a committed feminist. But gradually began to question the ideology, and has ended up completely disavowing it.

Her studies of feminism's history make fascinating reading. Here, she looks at the 1960s - with privileged women like Betty Friedan. Gloria Steinem and Kate Millet coming forward to shape the Second Wave, while men in the glass cellar jobs, making their privileged world of illusion and hate possible, died in great numbers - completely ignored.

FEMINISM WAS NEVER NOT ROTTEN - KAREN STRAUGHAN

  Feminism was never Not Rotten by Karen Straughan (a.k.a. GirlWritesWhat) Y ears ago, when I embarked on my investigation into the feminist movement and what it has become, I subscribed to the understanding that there had once existed a magical age of feminism. Of course I did. It was common knowledge, even among anti-feminists, that early feminism was a noble and well-intentioned movement, and that somewhere along the way it was hijacked by lunatics and man-haters bent on female supremacy. I was curious as to exactly when, and by what means, this virtuous movement had been corrupted, so I went on something of an archaeological expedition, digging through piles of documents and old news articles and treatises from as far back as the late 1800s and earlier, transcripts of speeches given by well-known suffragettes like Susan B. Anthony. My unexpected findings were as follows: Feminism has never been a righteous movement seeking equality. The “noble” Suffragettes were soaked in sexism, c

Penny Mordaunt, 'UK' Government - Women Have More Rights Than Men, But Penny Has Her Head Stuck Up Her Own Sex's Backside...

Image
Penny Mordaunt, now, amazingly, Leader of the House of Commons, is a narcissistic Feminist of the lowest order. And on Twitter she has recently been bringing up the usual illogical claptrap - unquestioned in our land of chivalry and matriarchy:  Today the Leader @PennyMordaunt hosted parliamentarians and civil society leaders working to protect and enhance women's rights and democracy here in the UK and across the world. We are working to create the networks and tools we need to support this fight. Um, well, firstly, women have more rights in the UK than men. Seriously. And if you're going to try and gaslight us about 'historical wrongs', please don't bother. We've read the true facts about the vote, thank you. The suffragettes were often violent, misandrist terrorists. The vote was never simply a right without accountability - many men had the accountabilities but not the vote. Men die younger than women. Women have 'all women shortlists' for posh job

Nicole Jacob - Feminist Misandrist & Domestic Abuse Commissioner for England & Wales

Image
One could ask why, in the so-called UK, the vast majority of people in England and Wales are served by one Domestic Abuse Commissioner and London and Scotland have separate ones? Nice gravy train. It's a gravy train for Feminists only, with Nicole Jacob, the current incumbent, being the latest in a line of male abusing, own-gender adoring women to occupy the role. Ms Jacob thinks the Violence Against Women  & Girls Act is a fine thing, and absolutely justified. It's pure evil. It throws not only men under the bus, but little boys, children, too. But Ms Jacob ignores all comments questioning her stance on her Twitter/X threads and carries on regardless. Today, it looks evil. In the future, when this era is exhumed by future historians, it will look far worse. Ms Jacob is surrounded by Feminist ideologues - like smirking Jess Phillips - and she smirks her well-heeled way through life, stealing the public's money by not doing her job and behaving like some kind of Nazi. He
