How Feminism Leads to the Oppression of Women

From the desk of Fjordman on Thu, 2007-02-15 23:18

According to Heather MacDonald, the feminist takeover of Harvard is imminent. The university is about to name as its new president radical feminist Drew Gilpin Faust, following Lawrence Summers’s all-too-brief reign. Summers’s recklessly honest speculations about women in science strengthened the feminist hold on faculty hiring and promotions. The Task Force won a $50 million commitment to increase faculty “diversity efforts” at Harvard.

As University President, Lawrence Summers in 2005 gave a speech where he dared to suggest that innate differences between men and women could explain why men hold more seats as top scientists than women. This is a plausible thesis. According to Dr Paul Irwing at Manchester University, there are twice as many men with an IQ of 120-plus as there are women, and 30 times as many with an IQ of 170-plus. There are other studies that indicate similar, disproportionate numbers of men among those with extremely high intelligence.

Besides, even though Summers may have been wrong, it is dangerous to embark on a road where important issues are not debated at all. One of the hallmarks of Western civilization has been our thirst for asking questions about everything. Political Correctness is thus anti-Western both in its form and in its intent. It should be noted that in this case, feminists formed the vanguard of PC, the same ideology that has blinded our universities to the Islamic threat.

It makes it even worse when we know that other feminists in academia assert that the veil, or even the burka, represents “an alternative feminism.” Dr. Wairimu Njambi is an Assistant Professor of “Women’s Studies” at the Florida Atlantic University. Much of her scholarship is dedicated to advancing the notion that the cruel practice of female genital mutilation (FGM) is actually a triumph for Feminism and that it is hateful to suggest otherwise. According to Njambi “anti-FGM discourse perpetuates a colonialist assumption by universalizing a particular western image of a ‘normal’ body and sexuality.”

Harvard university recently received a $20 million donationfrom Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud, a member of the Saudi Royal Family, to finance Islamic studies. This will no doubt be used to influence the curriculum to make it friendlier and less “Islamophobic.” Senior Western institutions for higher education such as Harvard are thus simultaneously serving as outlets for Saudi Islamic propaganda and for left-wing radical feminists. This may on the surface look like quite a paradox, but in different ways both groups discredit traditional Western culture by highlighting its “history of oppression and injustice,” and they both stifle ideological dissent and suppress criticism of their holy doctrines. Perhaps feminists failed to listen to fellow Harvard Professor Charles Fried, who has warned that “The greatest enemy of liberty has always been some vision of the good.”

Feminism has hurt us by encouraging public accept for intellectual hypocrisy, which later paved the way for Islamic infiltration. The official mantra is that men and women are not just equal but identical, but at the same time that women are also somehow superior. Both of these claims cannot, logically speaking, be true at the same time, yet both are being made simultaneously. This gross double standard closely mirrors that of Multiculturalism, where all cultures are equal but Western culture is inferior and evil.

This is a technique labelled Repressive Tolerance by the cultural Marxist Herbert Marcuse in 1965. Briefly speaking, those who are deemed to belong to “dominant” groups of society should have their freedom of speech suppressed by progressives and radicals, and simply be denied access to discussion forums, in order to rectify the “institutional oppression” in society. Marcuse’s ideas had a huge impact in the 1960s and 70s. He also advocated free sex without any constraints as a method of freeing people from religious morality.

Prof. Bernard Lewis warned in The Jerusalem Post that Islam could soon be the dominant force in a Europe “Europeans are losing their own self-confidence,” he said. “They have no respect for their own culture” and have “surrendered” on every issue with regard to Islam in a mood of “self-abasement and political correctness.” Although Mr. Lewis did not say so, this is to a significant extent the result of decades of demonization by left-wing academics, including radical feminists. The goal of radical feminism was never about equality between the sexes, it was about the destruction of the nuclear family and of the power structures of society in general.

As Ellen Willis, self-proclaimed democratic socialist and founder of Redstockings, a radical feminist group from 1969,stated to left-wing The Nation in 1981: “Feminism is not just an issue or a group of issues, it is the cutting edge of a revolution in cultural and moral values. […] The objective of every feminist reform, from legal abortion […] to child-care programs, is to undermine traditional family values.” Feminist icon Simone de Beauvoir stated that “no woman should be authorized to stay at home to raise her children […] because if there is such a choice, too many women will make that one.”

Well, after two generations of Second Wave Feminism, Ms. Willis and Ms. Beauvoir have had their way: The West has skyrocketing divorce rates and plummeting birth rates, leading to a cultural and demographic vacuum that makes us vulnerable to a take-over by… Islam. And feminists still aren’t satisfied.

Toy researcher Anders Nelson at Sweden’s Royal Institute of Technology has warned that toys have become increasingly gender-segregated over the past fifteen years: “People often explain [their toy purchases] by saying that boys and girls want different things. But in order for children to be able to reflect on [the toys] they receive, adults have to open their eyes to [inherent gender] structures. To children, these [gender] roles are more unquestioned and instinctual.” Mr. Nelson encouraged parents to give more gender neutral Christmas presents. In other words, no Barbie dolls for girls and no cars for boys. This is the result of a culture destroyed by Political Correctness.

Swedish Marxist politician Gudrun Schyman has suggesteda bill that would collectively tax Swedish men for violence against women. In a 2002 speech, the same Schyman famously posited that Swedish men were just like the Islamic Taliban regime in Afghanistan. A male columnist in national newspaper Aftonbladet responded by saying that Schyman was right: All men are like the Taliban.

Misandry, the hatred of men, isn’t necessarily less prevalent than misogyny, the hatred of women. The difference is that the former is much more socially acceptable.

When young politician Kjetil Vevle showed up for a meetingplanning the demonstrations at that year’s protests at the International Women’s Day on 8 March in the city of Bergen, Norway, he was told that men didn’t have voting rights at the meeting even though they were passionate feminists. The leaders didn’t think there was any cause for complaints, as the men had generously been awarded the right to voice their opinion, just not the right to make decisions.

Although countries such as Norway and Sweden like to portray themselves as havens of gender equality, I have heard visitors comment that the sexes are probably further apart here than anywhere else in the world. Radical feminism has bred suspicion and hostility, not cooperation. And it has no in any way eradicated the basic sexual attraction between feminine women and masculine men. If people do not find this in their own country, they travel to another country to find it, which is now easier than ever. A striking number of Scandinavian men find their wives in East Asia, Latin America or other nations with a more traditional view of femininity, and a number of women find partners from more conservative countries, too. Not everyone, of course, but the trend is unmistakable. Scandinavians celebrate “gender equality” and travel to the other side of the world to find somebody actually worth marrying.

Norway and Sweden are countries with extremely high divorce rates. Boys grow up in an atmosphere where masculinity is demonized, attend a school system where they are viewed as deficient girls and are told by the media that men are obsolete and will soon be rendered extinct anyway.

A feminist culture will eventually end up being squashed, because the men have either become too demoralized and weakened to protect their women, or because they have become so fed-up with incessant ridicule that they just don’t care anymore. If Western men are pigs and “just like the Taliban” no matter what we do, why bother? Western women will then be squashed by more aggressive men from other cultures, which is exactly what is happening in Western Europe now. The irony is that when women launched the Second Wave of Feminism in the 1960s and 70s, they were reasonably safe and, in my view, not very oppressed. When the long-term effects of feminism finally set in, Western women may very well end up being genuinely oppressed under the boot of Islam. Radical feminism thus leads to oppression of women.

I wonder whether Virginia Wolf saw this coming. Maybe if she were alive today, she would hail the Islamic veil as an “alternative road to feminism” and write a book called A Burka of One’s Own. With some luck, it might even have earned her a Diversity Scholarship at Harvard.

That is a great article on why men should just walk away.

Why feminists encourage and support a culture that is notorious for oppressing its women is beyond me. What on earth are they thinking? Or are they thinking at all? Nah, they are not thinking. Thinking rationally as a tool of patriarchal oppression and we can’t have that!

Yes it is!

Could you please provide the link? Excellent article. This s~~~ didn’t arise in nature. Men ruling the world did. This s~~~ is completely a product of the human mind. Religion arose in nature. The nuclear family arose in nature. Traditional marriage arose in nature. I borrowed a bit of that from one of our members.

Evil is what women bring into the world when left to their own devices. They still have the same bond with the serpent as they did when they brought the fall of man into the world. It’s the same apple with a different name. Feminism!

They can’t compete in the marketplace of ideas so they resort to bull horns and shouting down anyone who disagrees with them. This is the only tool they have to defend this insanity.

Hostility is all they can ever expect from rational males, and they know it that’s why they want a world without us. This s~~~ is pure evil. They want a world in which they rule as the queens of soulless cold, geocoding males on the way to the delusional double think that they are bringing peace and harmony into their loveless, maleless, mindless, emotional world. They deserve what they are seeking, to be alone and the extinction of human civilization.

I don’t think of Feminism in terms of 1st or 2nd or 3rd wave, I see it as political feminism. It’s a business, a very lucrative one.
It’s very different from the naive beliefs of equality that most of it’s casual supporters think it is.

There’s no such thing as bad publicity. Bad publicity is what catapulted talent-less celebrities like Kardashian and Hilton to the peak of mass adulation.
The more mayhem and controversy Feminism creates, no matter how insane, the more free attention it gets.
The more people Feminism destroys for opposing it, no matter how trivial the objection, the more people fear it and comply to it.
Destroying careers and reputations of both men and women for voicing opposition or casual remarks or even clothing, is terrorism at it’s very best.

Women hated the burka with a passion before radical islam’s effective use of terrorism became a tool of control.and you’ll find the burka was well and truly on the way out in just about all Islamic countries,
It was virtually non-existant in Muslims in Western societies. The vast majority of women who wear the burka in western societies now, wear it for the shock value. They’re acutely aware of how intimidating it is. There’s no religious or social mandate for them to wear it.
Privately, in modern Islamic societies, women hate it , no matter what they say in front of the camera.
Behind closed doors, in anonymity they see it for exactly what it is, true oppression.

Like most multi-conglomerate businesses Feminism doesn’t give a f~~~ about people, especially it’s lower echelon members.
It’s no worse or more sociopathic than the tobacco industries, the sugar industry, ruthless big pharma, the armaments industry, the banking system and many others.

If supporting Islam gets them grants, fear and attention, it’s a great idea.
If hamsters are stupid enough to go along with it, that’s their problem, not the ones profiting from it..
It’s just business.

I predict western women will willingly take on the burka to support the sisterhood and then the trap springs closed.

Aren’t British women going to the word of Islam to support ISIS now?

The article OP poster corroborates.

When a society is very wealthy women naturally want liberalism and “freedom” to extort as much material wealth as possible and to be as comfortable as possible for themselves.

When they collapse that wealth, they want conservative values of staying at home with all the burden placed on the male.

So either way women win.

Only an ignorant fool thinks women are oppressed in either version. They win either way. They always win. MGTOW has been the only way to keep them from winning, because we don’t play, but we’re a tiny minority.

Turd Flinging Monkey had an excellent theory on this topic.

I happened to think He’s spot on here.The only thing these SJWs and feminists respect are people who aren’t willing to put up with their bulls~~~. Islamic terrorists have passed the “S~~~ test”.

Thanks for the read.

Sad but in the end nobody in the society will get what they want and we’ll end up with a huge pile of s~~~.

It’s like nothing can be done and everything is moving along willfully unable to be changed. Everyone is caught up in the flood. Not looking forward to the future with bright eyes and hopefulness as far as society goes.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. --Einstein
