I don’t hate feminism. Because to hate something, I must have at least an ounce of esteem for it.
No, I am disgusted by it and have nothing but contempt left for Western feminism because of the sick joke that it has come to be in merely the last few years.
And to all of the people out there explaining “Feminism is just about equal rights”, give me a bloody break, get off it and listen carefully if you have ears –
A movement is not defined by some esoteric theory, or even by what it is supposed to be. But by what it is at present.
If progressivism, for example, was led by full-blown communists, who gives a hoot what it is supposed to be?
If conservatism was represented by the KKK, who gives a damn what it ought to be?
You want to see an example of how low Western feminism has fallen?
Read this article published by not some struggling press but the well-known Washington Post.
Opinion | Why can’t we hate men?
No really, do read it.
This vile woman is not some nobody nothing saying such things but the director of the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program at Northeastern University.
Here’s a taste of a part of the article:

“So men, if you really are #WithUs and would like us to not hate you for all the millennia of woe you have produced and benefited from, start with this: Lean out so we can actually just stand up without being beaten down. Pledge to vote for feminist women only.
“Don’t run for office. Don’t be in charge of anything. Step away from the power. We got this. And please know that your crocodile tears won’t be wiped away by us anymore. We have every right to hate you. You have done us wrong. #BecausePatriarchy. It is long past time to play hard for Team Feminism. And win.”
Yeah, you couldn’t make this shit up. A straight-up hate-mongerer at the helm of a department in a major university.
This is someone imparting lessons to your sons and daughters.
This is how far this movement with noble and laudable origins has now fallen.
Can any of you even imagine what the reaction would be if someone asked “Why can’t we hate all women?”
But say that for men and you get an article in a prominent newspaper like the Washington Post.

Feminists want it both ways. They say they want gender equality for both men and women but their actions suggest otherwise. If they really supported gender equality, why aren’t they protesting that women now outnumber men in college, nursing, and elementary education?
Why aren’t they talking about the number of men dying from violence, suicide and unsafe jobs?
Feminists demand that organizations lower their standards to admit more women. For example, in New York City, a man complained about being dragged down the stairs by a female firefighter who didn’t have the strength to carry him and the fire department just said ‘tough luck!’
Read the post of a woman who became a firefighter despite failing crucial fitness test.
The feminists will okay this yet will not fight for standards to be lowered to get more male elementary school teachers.
