Feminism’s Effect on Society


October 20th, 2007 · Dating and Relationships, World Affairs

Not only is Amer­i­can soci­ety becom­ing fem­i­nized, as Bill Maher hilar­i­ously points out in the above YouTube clip – it is also occur­ring in Britain:

Back in the Nineties, embold­ened by the suc­cesses of fem­i­nism, women sought to slay the dragon of patri­archy by turn­ing men into ridicu­lous cissies who would cry with them through chick-flicks and then cook up a decent lasagne.

Sud­denly, women wanted to drive home their new­found equal­ity by mould­ing men to be more like them…

Now, over a decade later, women are wak­ing up to the fact that these men are drippy, sex­less bores. The fem­i­ni­sa­tion of men hasn’t pro­duced the well-rounded uber-males women were hop­ing for.

Instead, women are now lumped with flabby inver­te­brates, lit­tle more than door­mats, whom they secretly despise but are too proud to admit it…

Men are now gen­er­ally ter­ri­fied of women. They hold their tongues for fear of being mis­in­ter­preted as sex­ist; they con­stantly attempt to sec­ondguess their part­ner in order to avoid giv­ing offence.

They preen them­selves with groan­ing shelves full of beauty prod­ucts so they won’t incur deri­sion and scorn. They sup­press their mas­culin­ity and present them­selves as cud­dly Mr Nice Guys, and won’t project self– con­fi­dence in case it’s regarded as unre­con­structed machismo.

This back­fir­ing fem­i­nist con­spir­acy has, of course, devel­oped hand in hand with the march of rag­ing polit­i­cal cor­rect­ness in Britain. The two have com­bined like some potent chem­i­cal reac­tion to explode in the faces of a gen­er­a­tion of women who thought that a ‘moulded’ man would make for a desir­able one.

In recent years, men have been trained like cir­cus seals to be inof­fen­sive to women, and no longer know how to entice them and turn them on.

But women secretly long for a man with swag­ger, who is cocky and self­as­sured and has the cheek to stand up them and make fun of their fem­i­nine foibles.

Although the author, Nir­pal Dhali­wal, loses his cred­i­bil­ity when he essen­tially brags about cheat­ing on his wife, he still makes some excel­lent observations.
