The valid feminist battles in this country were all won by the early 1980s. All the professional feminists should have looked for other work, but no, they doubled down by creating new ways in which women could feel discriminated or exploited by men - and they could hold positions of power. As a woman, I truly resented this. Not only did it create the new man, the Toxic Male, but a bs bunch of ways in which women could nurse whatever bad feelings they had. Look, I'm very attached to my feelings and I think all my feelings are absolutely fascinating. But I do realize that it's better for the world if I nurse my feelings through listening to, say, Patsy Cline, or writing a tragic short story, than it is to impose a bunch of regulations that just make relationships between the sexes infinitely worse in every area they come together, be it in bed or the office. And a note from my NYC writing days when I actually knew some of the famous mega-feminists - one of them had a daughter who grew up being indoctrinated by her much published and rewarded feminist mom and how'd it affect her? She married a Green Beret. And changed her name to his. So there's hope, not just for men who've been raised by feminists but for women, too. Because the “toxic male” created by feminists led to the “toxic female” and they ain't no fun either, cheering on the assassination of Charlie Kirk, when really they should be looking at Erika Kirk for a true role model.
