The Gathering Gloom and the Darkness in the Distance

The feminist project is to  increase female power and control over every possible dimension of life, and most especially where men are involved. Ultimately, when they speak of "empowering" women, they intend that female power shall increase without limit in relation to male power. This naturally requires that male power will not grow in pace with female power. Male power could either flatline itself, or diminish, but either way the plan of feminism would be fulfilled when female power shows a growing SURPLUS in relation to male power. 

In particular, the plan is continue, by other means, the traditional male obligation to sacrifice for women and to supply them with resources. But in tandem with that, a social fiction of female "independance" is to be constructed, by means of elaborate rhetoric and societal stage props. In this way, women who are so-inclined may go jauntily about the charade of "not needing a man", while depending on blood metaphorically wrung from men in order to sustain this.

All of the foregoing may then be combined with women's sexual bargaining power. Thereafter, through the witting or unwitting agency of women at large, the feminist project will maximize its domination of men both politically and in the realm of personal relations. In short, the  feminist maxim that the personal is political will have been usefully brought to fruition. In the end, women will have more choices than ever and fewer obligations toward men. That is what the feminist project seeks to make real for women at large. But men and boys would be squeezed toward a condition that more and more approximates slavery -- although it would be considered bad form to call it that, and if you floated any such suggestion you would be branded an extremist, a misogynist, or some other dreadful thing. 

This paints a grim tableau for the future -- grim not only for its predictions, but for the backstory it provides to the growing alienation among men toward women. I monitor these things pretty closely, and if you are a newcomer to all of this—especially a non-feminist woman wishing to help in some way—then I can hardly overstate the case: this is all very, very REAL, and is growing steadily worse.

You must understand that far too many women, whether self-declared feminists or not, seem to fall acquiescently into line with the things we are describing. In consequence, more and more men are drifting toward a settled conviction that women are mercenary animals who cannot be trusted. And you can hardly blame these men for feeling that way, when so much in our present-day culture conspires to lend weight and bear witness (if falsely?) to the possible veracity of such dark conclusions.

And yes: I BLAME FEMINISM!

For many years, the feminist endeavor has been to drive a wedge between men and women—to infect the atmosphere between them, to poison the water between them, to render normal, natural productive relations impossible between them. And the present deteriorating state of social existence will testify to the considerable success of feminist efforts.

Make no mistake: feminists are aggressive, driven, worldly-minded, "alpha" people—full of vanity and craving! They are not mellow. They are not laid-back. They are not philosophers. They do not have "the gift to be simple."

Feminism has willfully and skillfully set men and women at odds with each other, almost at each other's throats, by undermining their sense of shared interest and mutual obligation. Moral constraints upon women's behavior have been largely redefined as forms of "oppression" or "controlling" - as if anybody could hope to go through life with no occasional sense of "heaviness" and absolved from even self-control?

The feminists love to toss around the word "misogyny" as a kind of pan-womanistic moral atom-bomb device, a way to stampede ALL women into a state of cooperative moral panic—even women who wouldn't normally give feminism the time of day! It is a way to sell feminism by high-pressure sales tactics, since misogyny is a kind of ambient poison that would (in theory anyway) strike women universally and irrespectively.

And yet, the growth of male ill-feeling toward women is positively guaranteed to happen under the septic conditions which feminist innovation has introduced into the world. There is no conceivable way it couldn't happen! For years, feminism has been like a busy farmer, growing misogyny like a crop: mulching, manuring, disking, harrowing, plowing, sowing, constantly bringing new acreage under cultivation—and reaping progressively bigger harvests!

So, the present state of social existence pushes men and women both down an escalating spiral of bad behavior and mutual recrimination, and the worst of it is that the average man OR woman doesn't know what is really going on, and accordingly takes appearances at face value, falling into the same trap time and time again at every iteration of the cycle.

And feminism grants women a free license to do their worst at every stage. Yes, feminism empowers women by unleashing the power of the Dark Feminine. Meanwhile, men are held fully accountable for every misstep or misdeed, and for every cross word about women that might roll off their tongues for any reason whatsoever!

At any rate, one thing is certain: if present trends continue, then "misogyny" will grow and grow. And the feminists will never stop blaming men for this—for if they did, they would, ipso facto, no longer be feminist. But if non-feminist women in appreciable numbers don't ultimately wake up, hoist their colors, and raise their voices militantly against feminism and feminists, then men shall be entitled to draw the worst conclusion about women that might ultimately seem right to them.

That day, of course, is not yet.

However, it is not looming smaller on the horizon.
