The truth behind feminism.

.

I have been told, and it is obvious to see in the historical records, women have taken their seat in society beside men.  Their are more women in undergraduate studies and graduate studies by many accounts.  As well, more women, now, are working then men.  While they are at about 19% in congress, a slip of a percent iirc, it is supposed that all things are now open to women.  Women, in some nations, and on limited bases, were being given the vote as early as the early 1700's, with restrictions, often limited to widows, propertied taxpayers, or for local elections.

As progressives gained power, on the backs of improving standards of living and wealth, more nations allowed women to vote.  It is plain to see that in underdeveloped nations that did not take root early, well, or easily and is often contested today.  As with atheists riding the coattails of Christianity, living under those morals when that is or was the majority of the population, progressives road the coattails of industry.  Simply in the wake of some things, other things seem to spring up.  Things which are just as often as not quite contrary to their progenitors.  Call it rot to wood or rust to steal and iron.  As with an atheist society, a feminist society will in time undo the freedoms which allowed it to occur if left unchecked.  And it has been left unchecked.

At this point in time, even discussing the fact that women are not equal to men can cause some, many, most women, and some, many, men, to become rather undone.  A fact, known by all of history, is unknown to an educated populace... but how?  An education system run by women, for and by the government, has lead to a complete disavowal of the truth of the matter, many matters actually.  This doesn't change the facts, it merely makes discussing them uncomfortable for those who have hidden from them.  I am absolutely surprised we haven't brought back feinting couches.  When I am in mixed company they would certainly be welcome, for some.

Now, for a while, I really thought women were to blame.  Quite honestly, I don't see that now.  Feminists are, and have always, merely been faces for other forces.  Speak with a feminists, with authority, and you will understand the chicanery of such a notion.  And I did consider whether our forefathers of just a few generations back were to blame for being weak-kneed.  Again, I don't think so.  They had as much power to affect things as we do now, sum total, which is not much.  So I started looking at what would be to fault.  As it turns out, it was small but powerful political movements and large businesses which saw the usefulness of allowing women to vote.

Those political movements realized women would, did, and still do, vote in a very particular way.  That way allows certain entities access to power.  Power no free man would give them, and didn't.  The power to even consider removing constitutional rights.  The power to create a central bank and keep it for eighty years.  The power to pat down grandmother's, children, even babies, even strip search them, at airports.  No free man would allow such a thing.  Well, okay, there are some.  But they are a vast minority, and not free.

As for business?  While still cynical about the notions, they did realize putting more of the population to work would cheapen labor.  Further, with women working, fewer children would be born, which would allow them to demand that immigration be allowed, as per their needs, legal or otherwise.  National identity?  Who cares, it's the next billion in the bank that is important.  It is always the bottom line.

The results are as predicted.  Oh, yes, there were grumps like me from back when.  Chesterton comes to mind.  There is Clemens, though that depends on what part of his life one might be discussing.  As he became doddering, I think foolishness came with it.  Either that or one of those earthly angels got to him.  What did he care, he was near the end.

We sit on the precipice of civilization.  We are at, it has to be admitted, the pinnacle of what man has ever before achieved.  We are also facing, for modern nations, a collapse in births and aging.  Those brought in to do the work will not be able to sustain what has been built.  Nor will they be interested in propping up and sustaining the doddering fools who let it all go for a few more dollars, useless as those are becoming, faster and faster.  As well, the financial truth is everyone in the world owes everyone else more wealth than has ever functionally existed throughout all of man's time.

The edifice has crumbled, the floors are rotten, and looking down it is plain to see the structure was built on sand, and blood.  The blood of those never born and those tossed to be ground in the machinery of wealth production, a wealth squandered on foolish bobbles, wine, and easy pleasures.  Some things deserve, like few other things, to be destroyed, and by their own hand.  Rome, to be sure, several times, fell, even similar reasons persisted if feminism wasn't among them as it is today.  I bet you didn't know that they had the pill in Roman times, lost for thousands of years and for good reasons. So it goes, I suppose.  But women can't be blamed for being allowed to do what women do.  Blaming them for the mess is akin to blaming butterflies for hurricanes.
