As a woman, raised by a feminist mother in a society that pushes all this stuff on me, I would just like to categorically say that I love being a wife, mother and homemaker. I love it. My voice is never heard or represented in media anywhere. I am university educated, graduated top of my class, I have a brain and love learning, and in no way do I feel oppressed by being within my home caring for and teaching my kids.
Wow you're definitely a different mindset good for you our society is unraveling and falling apart just look at the headlines of the New York and LA Times😱 when I was a kid and the '80s we never saw all these mass shootings ever our Society is falling apart right in front of our. I'm a gay man and I wasn't necessarily for gay marriage things are really still the same in the gay community what's the point of having them legally get married and ruining the institution
I love your comment! I’m in the same boat - which I chose to be in voluntarily. I have a master’s degree in ecology, graduated at the top of my class too, but I chose to be a homemaker, and it’s the most fulfilling, tough, joyful, frustrating thing I have ever done. I’m just as proud of myself for sticking to my guns and making sacrifices as a ‘housewife’ in a culture where most women return to work ASAP, as I am of earning my MSc. I use my brain all the time at home, teaching my little one and learning all sorts of new skills and insights. I understand that many women cannot stay at home because of financial constraints though. And it saddens me that we live in a cultural/economic system that does not really support mothers and babies in the long run. I’m no socialist, believe me (I have a good understanding of the failure of all socialist/communist regimes in the 20th century) but our capitalistic and materialistic culture has played its part in making it difficult for many modern women to stay at home if they wanted to…just my ten cents.

I was bullied in school for saying that feminism as my generation knows it is trash. I agree with us being able to vote as we all need a voice, I agree that we need to be educated. I personally love being able to take care of my husband and home. I'm praying for the day we may have a child as well.

I can easily attribute the misery of my upbringing to my hippie mother’s feminist ideology. When I threw off the shackles of post modern feminism I found happiness and purpose in my family. I no longer felt I was losing a battle with myself between what I was told I should want as a feminist (yes that spelling is on purpose) and what felt innately real and natural to me as a woman. Post modern feminism is a famine of reason and logic and is merely a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of itself to that it is wholly unrecognizable to the original. Feminism went from the desire for independence to have the same rights as men to own property and vote to this perversion we see today that has resulted in the misery and mutilization of both sexes and the murder of 63Million babies and counting.
Feminism was always a perversion, it had the luxury of being widely adapted once industrialization happened. Rights come with Responsibility. But Feminists fight for the Rights of Men, the Privileges of Women, and the Responsibility of Children.

Yep. Equality versus Equity. The left latches on to equity, demanding equal outcomes given some arbitrary characteristics, even though there shouldn't be equal outcomes. And get this, even if equity is achieved for a specific arbitrary group, they have infinite arbitrary identities to invent and show a lack of equity. It never ends. There is no being happy.
Erin Pizzey, a woman that was a pioneer in funding the first and largest shelter for victims of domestic violence (both female and male) spoke once about going into a feminist meeting for the first time in the 60's. She left disapointed because it was just a bunch of "marxist women" complaining about marxist men and never adressing any real issues. Later on the whole DV industry was taken over by feminists and she had to flee Britain because of death threats. Today she's a men's rights activist.
What she dared to state and stand by was that she noticed that many of the women in the women's shelter that she founded were themselves violent. They were supposedly fleeing violence, but fully admitted to their own participation in violent behavior and desire to commit violent acts. It was her attempts to provide shelters for men who were also obviously victims that could not be tolerated. Yes, she got death threats, but much worse, her pets were targeted and killed by feminist activists who wanted to silence her.
@@aranisles8292 An unbiased view of the reality of domestic violence. Our perception of it is molded by feminists point of view that clearly don't match real life experiences. It makes me wonder how many of the things we were taught to be true are the frut of marxist\feminist college professors propaganda.
It should not be surprising that women participate in the violence between them and their spouse. Children learn what they live. Since is evident that both boys and girls are beat up, and more, by abusive parents, it stands to reason that when an abused man marries, or lives with, or has a relationship with, an abused woman, the abuse is mutual. However, this is not always true.
@@RafaelSantos-pi8py A damn lot, not least because the gullible liberal media always goes to those professors the get their 'expert' take on current events. The result is in the mainstream media there is only one story: domestic violence IS violence against women, end of story. No acknowledgement, no qualification, no nuance to admit a different perspective closer to reality.

@Nonaya Bidness Help me understand, if you will. What is "perfect of queer theory and intersectional feminism"? The term "gender"? My linguistic background is at odds with divergent perceptions of the meaning of "gender", a word related to the Latin "genus", which simply intends to describe the kind, class, or rank of a body of biological creatures. But I really want to understand.

Although this was a very captivating, informative history lesson, it quickly became a Pandora’s Box for me. I looked up Shulamith Firestone (2nd Wave Radical Feminist) just to kind of fact check and boy do I regret it (Pandora’s Box 😱😰). To start, she had a contemptuous relationship with her Orthodox Jewish parents (her father, in particular), her brother committed suicide (but family initially lied and said cause of death was a car crash), joined and co-founded multiple radical feminist groups, left an abusive boyfriend in Chicago and moved to NY, “became” mentally ill at age 29 (later diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia), found dead at age 67 in NY studio apartment after neighbors complained of smell and, the worst or scariest of it all, her book she wrote at age 25, where you got that quote, (“The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution”) was/is one of the inspirations for so many of our current and possibly future challenges (in addition to the pronoun/gender/trans war, also the advancement of science into solving infertility issues with things such as IVG (in vitro gametogenesis) and using stem cells to create artificial sperm and eggs. 😳😰 Boy do I miss my blissful ignorant days. 😢
Ignorance can be bliss until your female students are told they have to share their locker room with a male who thinks he's a female. Thanks for the info. Now I've got good 'firepower' to impart to those who think this is just fine.
That's another example of how the politics of the left elevates mental illness. Mental illness, as Michel Foucault argues in Madness and Civilization, is just another system of oppression.
The women in the early 60's and 70's who argued for the eradication of motherhood and marriage all together, I am convinced, did this because no one wanted to marry them or knock them up, or even touch them. I mean... Just look at them. Total dogs.
That's an insult to dogs and you know it. Dogs are at least loyal and faithful companions that we don't deserve as a species. Liberal women on the other hand possess none of the good qualities of dogs that we prize them as companions for.
It's possible they had trauma they don't want to talk about publicly. If you watch your mother be beaten by your father as you grow grow up, or he does something worse to you, it's easy to see marriage as a prison.
Huh. I must be a walking corpse. I am a mom and wife. Happily so, if I’m completely honest. Even on my bad days when I need a break (because we do need those occasionally), I miss my children when I’m on my break. The leftist view of gender is so confusing- and we know that where confusion is, there is also envy, strife, and every evil work (James 3:17). I think I’ll keep my head screwed on correctly and stay in my black and white world on objective matters.
I love how they support women unless they are traditional women then they are walking corpses lol 😆 if they don’t get out right attack by quote unquote pro women chicks

@Sijtske Borden obey isn’t the word, but submit. This is a different definition, meaning: as long as the man is in obedience and submission to Christ, we are to support the mission God has given him. The key is that he must be in submission to Christ. So by submitting to (or supporting) my husband, I am in obedience to Christ. And yes, I am continuing to grow in this area, being that my main personality is more dominant and his is laid back.
They say that one worst enemy is one's own self. This is pretty much what feminism is for women. Equality? Last time I checked, since ancients times, women had equal titles as men: King and Queen, Lord and Lady, Father and Mother. We were always equal, we simply had different roles and there is nothing wrong with that.

I remember the story about the twin boy turned into a girl. I always thought it made the case that the Dr was a nut. He was completly wrong and instead of trying to find a solution he put this poor child through a horrible disfiguring surgery. Normalizing the puberty blockers and child mutilation can be put at the doorstep of the show "I am Jazz" on TLC. It became cool to be transgender. I think many of the kids who are so wanting to have another body will be seen as just another teen trial to go through in the future. Hopefully parents will be able to help the kids through.
When I was in college I had a guy friend that absolutely envy women because of the miracle of birth. He was not gay or trans, he simply acknowledged women were stronger and to be admired for this reason. True man admire women tenacity and strength 💪🏼

🐟 26. FEMINISM: Feminism is the penultimate evil at present because feminism is based on the misguided assumption that women are equal to (or even SUPERIOR to) men. The only institution more destructive to human society than feminism, is illicit governance (see Chapter 22). Equality is non-existent in this transactional sphere. Equality exists ONLY in abstract concepts such as mathematics, and arguably, on the sub-atomic level. Even identical twins are not perfectly identical in every possible criterion. Geneticists have discovered that a pair of so-called “identical twins” share, on average, about only ninety-four percent of their genetics by the time they are born. Mothers of such twins can instinctually differentiate between them, since there are always distinguishing features. Unfortunately, for a great many persons, the objective fact that equality among humans is non-existent, is impossible to accept, since they are afflicted with what is known as a “leftist” mentality. Although a female can exhibit superior traits, skills, etcetera, to some men, a woman can never have AUTHORITY over a man. Therefore, the assertion that women are subordinate to men is based purely on this notion of authority, not on any particular attribute, such as intelligence, wisdom, beauty, physical strength, or artistic talent. Simply because a woman may be stronger or more highly-educated than her husband, for instance, does not give her the right to instruct her master in any way. No true man has ever been attracted to a domineering, bossy female. Truth be told, no true man would ever descend to the level of accepting counsel from ANY of his subordinates. A man should fully obey his appointed masters (such as his father, grandfather, uncle, employer, or priest), and never emasculate himself by submitting to the dictates of a mere female, or any other lesser. Of course, in past millennia, it was unnecessary to explicate the reasons why (adult) males are inherently superior in authority to females - most everybody, both men and women, accepted that claim without argument, as it seemed quite logical. However, at the time of writing, especially in the Western World, very few understand that the reason for this assertion is simply due to it being part of the natural hierarchy of society. Only emasculated, feminized “men” are unable to comprehend this very basic fact of life. Imagine the scenario where a woman provides the material requirements of her family, physically protects her family from harm, teaches and instructs her husband and their children. Does that appear to follow the natural order of things? OBVIOUSLY not. Therefore, my point is made. Feminist ideology commonly manifests as the desire for women to perform the societal role of the OPPOSITE gender, that is to say, partaking in intrinsically male activities, such as studying at educational institutions, working for a wage, or building business enterprises (or even more preposterously, usurping the position of a national leader or the role of a member of the Holy Priesthood!). Feminism also advocates for preferential treatment of females in institutions that may have traditionally favoured men and/or boys, even when “the tables have been completely turned-around the other way”, so to speak. In a nutshell, feminists suffer from the psychological disorder termed “penis envy”, and fundamentally yearn to become males in every conceivable way (sometimes even biologically, despite the incontrovertible fact that transitioning from one gender to the other gender being a physiological impossibility). This explains why (female) feminists are typically manly. Conversely, as a general rule, the more feministic and gynocentric is a man, the more effeminate and uxorious is his behaviour and manner. This aspiration of a person wishing to seize the position of another person, deemed to be of higher value, is a common phenomenon in MALES as well, such as working-class men who consider themselves to be rulers/kings or priests. Every so-called “priest” and every national leader on earth, with virtually no exceptions, is either a worker, a businessman, or even more risibly, a mere female, who is literally stealing the occupation of an authentic guru or arrogating the role of a king. Such persons are, therefore, full-time criminals and ought to be censured. Feminists are victims of the SLAVISH mentality that the instigators of that evil, pernicious ideology (Karl Marx and the so-called “Globalist Elite”) have always wanted them to be. The desire to serve is a natural propensity of humans, but one ought to serve a lawful authority. It is extremely unfortunate that the vast majority of women are unable to see the obvious truth that feminist ideology wants the destruction of women (as well as society as a whole), as can clearly be seen at present. At least it is clearly seen by any decent, wise and intelligent person. Due to feminist indoctrination and lack of proper discipline, as a consequence of an increasingly profane and secular world, modern women have become EXTREMELY debased. The typical woman nowadays is afflicted with bitterness, uncontrolled emotions (especially jealousy), gross immodesty, greed, arrogance, misery, snobbishness, and loneliness due to a false sense of “independence”, with hardly a single noble quality. In those gynocentric societies that are dominated by feminism, men are urged to avoid any UNNECESSARY contact with the opposite gender. Those (heterosexual) males who disregard this sage advice will invariably regret their choices, either after experiencing false allegations against them, the destruction of their families through divorce, or after constant rejection by snobby women. However, let it be made clear: the greatest enemy of males is NOT the opposite sex, but those uxorious “white-knight” so-called “men” who do the bidding of feminist ideologues, since they have far greater power than females, despite being truly pathetic-excuses-for-men. wom•an n. pl. wom•en She who gives “woe” to “man” - therefore “wo(e)man” “Though I have searched repeatedly, I have not found what I was looking for. Only one out of a thousand men is virtuous, but not one woman!” “Ecclesiastes” 7:28. “Holy Bible” (New Living Translation). “We must not allow ourselves to be deflected by the feminists who are anxious to force us to regard the two sexes as completely equal in position and worth.” Sigismund Schlomo Freud, Austrian Neurologist.
This kind of shows why you should regulate universities at least to some degree, to make sure academics adhere to the scientific method and do not abuse their scientific authority to create crazy cults and turn their doctrines into accepted truth, completely detached from any serious effort to understand reality as it is, which is the core of science. There need to be standards.
The problem is that the true scientist are actually working and doing research on trying to develop a new type of battery or device to store energy (which is what's truly holding back innovation & green technology). So the idiots and C-grade people are left to fo figure out what the scientifique methud is & how to apply it to everything else that innovation doesn't depend on.
The lefts goal is to eradicate truth. To make everything completely subjective. That there isn’t a single reality that we all live in together but that we all create our own reality. Putting the ego above everything else
I don't know if the lack of "regulation" is the problem as much as what has become the "veneration" of the academy. There's a lack of skepticism because we've swallowed the notion that knowledge and wisdom are the ONLY possible outcomes our education system can produce. That has proved a misguided assumption.
There’s no need to regulate just laugh at them. They hate that. Parents need to start teaching critical thinking skills & personal responsibility so their little nitwits quit falling for this garbage. Why even attend college for anything other than the hard sciences? Anyone can learn anything these days. Stop giving them money and importance.
I grew up in the 50's and 60's , completely affected by this stuff yet not understanding any of this until I was an adult. As in a 50year old. It took me until my 40's to be comfortable as a woman. I managed a bookstore as a women, not a bossy wanna be man. I didn't enjoy being a mom until I was a grandmother raising a grandchild because I thought I shouldn't. Feminisms messes up women completely. My husband, in his loving me completely, helped me find myself nie than a bunch of shrieking women ever did. Now- women have the right to vote, the right to work, the right to be self-autonomous (have credit, property etc.) But self-destructing by saying men are the enemy? That's a little short-sighted.
How sad that these women didn't understand how amazing being a woman is; how amazing motherhood and raising wonderful children is...they totally missed out.
I have to admit, I wanted nothing to do with motherhood. I had no intention to ever raise a family. But God knew better and sent me a child. It has been the greatest experience of my life.
They were also not allowed to vote, couldn't get jobs so as a result even if they were being abused they couldn't leave their husbands because they were financially dependent on them. So I'm glad feminism happened
it's also wonderful to be able to work and live the life you want to live. Not every women is meant to be a mother let alone be married and that is completely fine.
I'd say it dates back WAY further back in history. The inital ideas of radical feminism, transgenderism, intersecionality all have one thing in common: A struggle for power. Karl Marx described the world as a forever battleground between group A and B (which he explained was the poor and the rich) but since the USSR and other such states failed basically from the get-go these people redefined the groups. It became Men vs women, feminism, it became biology vs people, transgenderism, it because blacks vs whites or latino vs whites or whatever. The doctrine of these groups, of the post-modernist movement, is a struggle for power between different groups. Their doctrines say that you are not a person but rather a pixle in a larger group identity or race or sex or whatever. Division is their goal, division is their call of devil.
Marxist idea of class war would not work in the US simply due to the avavailabiliy to all of upward motion. A free market society allows for the "poor" to elevate their class status by working within that system. This had never existed before in modernity. Yes it takes time, and hard work, but the concept of the American Dream brought many to the US for the chance at a better life for that very reason. This is why the Modern Marxists had to find another way of division to create the A vs B. There was another bogeyman in the shadows "keeping you down". The sad part is many buy into this ideal now, suppress themselves, and wear this oppression like a "look at me" trophy. Yes the game is rigged, yes it's hard, yes some get the benefit of a closer to the goal starting point in life, but that doesn't mean you cant work smart, grind and make it yourself. It's your life. It's your responsibility to make it the best you can, to the best of YOUR abilities, to how you deem fit.
@@Hollymidlife Marx fundamentally believe that if you are born poor you will die poor unless you destroy the system, it is pretty manipulative itself since he doesnt believe that a system could make a poor man rich by working hard, but at least he had the excuse of never knowing a system capable of making a poor man rich, but he didnt fundamentally believe in it, so he knew exactly what he was saying, he wanted destruction and rage.
@@Hollymidlife also worth mentioning is these Marxists or what have you seen to be genuinely upset at the good fortune of others. Like isn't the point of the American dream so that you can get yourself and your children closer to that goal point??
Yes. The irony is that women's rights serves capitalism on multiple levels. Bring women into the workforce to drive wages down and create insecurity in the workforce to take power away from workers. Increase the cost of living so that a household requires two wage-earners just to get by. Deprive children of the care and influence of their parents the better to turn them into obedient workers etc. Very convenient, I'd say.
I mean... You aren't wrong. Especially when you now see companies happily offering to pay for women to go get abortions. They know very well that having to retain an employee that is on maternity leave is lost productivity and revenue along with the corporate insurance covering part of the medical cost for the birth. If these marxist feminazi hated the capitalism so much why are they excited to be taken advantage of by them???
It’s incredible but I have more freedom and peace at home with my children than I did as a independent woman in the workforce. I didn’t last one year there, that was a battlefield with miserable women.
I doubt that they had anything remotely resembling a feminist movement back then. You're reading way too much (through 21-century lenses) into what would simply have seemed a statement of the obvious, like "dogs walk on four legs." There MAY have been previous religions whose mythology said that men were created first and then women later, perhaps even by two different gods.
I could be wrong on this, but, I was a young woman when modern “feminism” was born. I always thought it was more about CHOICE. If you wanted to stay home with your family, good. If you wanted to have a family & have a career, good. If you wanted to be married & NOT have children, good. If you didn’t want to get married & instead,have a career,good.
@@normalee2682 my point is, that feminism is still all of those things. A feminist doesn’t care if you want to be a mother, a housewife, single or career driven. A feminist doesn’t care how masculine or feminine the roles in your life are. As long as your feelings are not being dismissed in the home and your intelligence isn’t being undermined in the workplace. Don’t let propaganda turn you off fundamentally good movements. Ben Shapiro is incredibly smart with a very manipulative political agenda. He is not on your team. Take care.
I got rid of mine. It meant getting rid of her daughter too, but since that day, my life has been one of total domestic tranquility for the last 12 years and will remain so until the day I die.
Great video, with a few corrections. Mary Wollstonecraft wrote two treatises, A Vindication of the Rights of Men, in angry response to Burke, and A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, in response mainly to her idol Rousseau. Contrary to common perception, the latter feminist work already forecasts the utopianism and double standards of the modern women's movement, and is rife with irrational special pleading and internal incoherencies. In arguing that one cannot say anything about women's 'nature' because women have been formed by social circumstances and external pressures, Wollstonecraft was already developing an early version of the social constructionism that has led to the trans and gender-non-binary phenomena. Susan B. Anthony was not present at the Seneca Falls Convention; only Stanton was. The two women had not met yet in 1848. Anyone interested in the allegedly sane and idealistic origins of American feminism should consult the document signed at Seneca Falls, which declares that “The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpation on the part of man toward woman, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her.” And men signed this fire-breathing false allegation! It could not be more wrong to say that feminism ever had idealistic intentions. It is important to understand that early feminists always made two contradictory arguments at the same time, characteristic of our present feminists: that women were just as good as men (if not better!) and that wherever women hadn't achieved what men had achieved, sexism was the sole reason for the discrepancy; but also that women had special needs and special rights (as well as special qualities and abilities) that deserved special protections, perquisites, and commendation. No early feminist argued that women were "the same" as men (of course not! the same as those immoral, sexually ravenous brutes?). Their arguments were always shot through with female supremacism, anti-male animus, and special pleading. By the time of the 1980s and on, the Second Wave (characterized by the outrageously man-hating writings of Marxist-inspired Betty Friedan and Kate Millett) was already splitting into many different (and competing) victimology factions. Intersectional feminism, with its emphasis on race and empire (see the work of Kimberle Crenshaw, bell hooks, Gayatri Spivak, for example), was already a primary doctrine; and radical feminism of the Andrea Dworkin and Sheila Jeffreys variety was already starting to reject the emphasis on gender fluidity. It's hard to make the argument that there is any continuous through-line in feminist development. The one constant was the emphasis on the perfidy of heterosexual white men.
These people basically have the most braindead concepts you can imagine, literally, i have seen it, and they are SO FAR up their asses that they never say "Wow wow wow now what the hell are you talking about?" they believe that agreeing whit madness is a form of "Intellect" HELL, doubling down on madness themselves is a form of intellect in their eyes, they are like "I believe there is no sky" "Pfff i dont believe there is ground either" "But how about this? i dont believe in oxigen!" and there they go always down and down intellectually always rejecting reality.

@Nonaya Bidness every time you have sex,, you do so with the knowledge that sexual act could possibly lead to pregnancy even if you're being careful. If you know that you would murder the preborn person that you could possibly become pregnant with,,, then don't have sex. It's that simple. If you can't enjoy sex without becoming a murderer then don't have sex. There's plenty of other ways to achieve the pleasure of an orgasm.

I was trying to explain to my kid about how 3rd Wave Feminism is one of the causes of our ability to being able to afford living on one income is so hard. Of course she's 21 so she talks about overpaid CEOs, of which I was able to explain that you can't simply explain our wages vs higher prices on just one person getting a lot of money for their job.
Everything is about the math of the free market. Mass Workforce participation of women doubled the amount of available labor making it less valuable. The recent reluctance of Workforce participation has made labor a scarce commodity and more valuable but has also depleted Supply of the products we consume making them more valuable and the increase in the cost of those products has outpaced the wage gains. Also almost all CEOs are untalented or mediocre at best and are way overpaid. The Perpetual problem is governments desire to manage and manipulate the free market rather than letting it do its job. Sometimes you have to take your medicine and if we did that in smaller doses instead of the government and manipulating its way out we wouldn't have the absolute shitstorm that eventually becomes unavoidable.
I already don´t understand your first sentence. Either I´m very stupid or there´s some fucked up grammar, but I´ve read it ten times now and I can´t make sense of it. Oddly enough 12 other people already liked your comment within just 17 minutes, which is very impressive. So I´m gonna go with the conclusion, that I´m just dumb as fuck.....
To this day, i have no idea why everyone keeps blaming the CEOs. Like... if you ever meet those kinds of people, Yea they got money, but they FLIPPING WORK THEIR ASSES OFF FOR IT. There hasn't been a CEO in my industry that i've met that their Admin assistant/secretary doesn't have to force them to sit down and eat lunch cuz they have to keep flying around, meeting people, and fixing problems in their company.
There are a few companies that are setup to give employees a stake in the company which ties to their pay to overall performance and profitability where there isn't say a huge pay gap. This leads to everyone accountable for the success of the company. They all have a say to hire or terminate employees that aren't a good "fit". There are no laws against this nor the way most traditional companies/corporations are run where the top execs get stupid salaries. There are also no laws from keeping YOU starting any type of business as first described if you think CEOs are paid too much.
Another not so fun fact: Shulamith Firestone, the feminist writer who advocated to abolish the "tyrannical family" died alone, because of starvation, with no one around. Talk about irony...
I was at the University of Alberta CA, and I wanted to read the book "Who Stole Feminism". The U. Library didn't carry it. Had to get a copy from the city library. I wonder if I had bought a copy and tried to donate it to the U. If they would have put it on the shelves? BTW Karen Straughan is from Alberta. She's a boss mom and author, who is a dissenting voice against the most extreme versions of radfem. You can probably find her views on RUclips, along with The Factual Feminist.
Karen Straughan is one of the most eloquent, whipsmart, and passionate anti-feminists out there. I highly recommend her RUclipss, though she hasn't been active for a few years. She also has a few speeches out there at various conferences etc. All well worth checking out. I'll add to that Janice Fiamengo, another Canadian, who made an amazing video series called The Fiamengo Files.
Very interesting. Margaret Sanger was definitely for abortion rather than bring an unwanted child into poverty. The Mike Wallace interview from 1966 reveals her thoughts on this despite her trying to dance around her views.
She was also racist (why many PP clinics are near racial minority neighborhoods) and anti-Catholic since the Church opposed everything she wanted to do.
Wanting voting rights and General equality is not cancer. What feminism has evolved to definitely is cancer. Balancing the power dynamic in the relationship of men and women is difficult given that women are the bearers of children almost forcing them to rely on the father at least somewhat. It is an inherent disadvantage at minimum and can be entirely toxic at it's extreme. No one wants to feel that their opinions are not valued.
@@AverageLeagueHack its still cancer that has led to blue haired publicly obnoxious beings, that gae way for many of the delusions in present time. Still cancer.
It's been bad since stage 1. Men were expected to protect and provide for women, but feminists hated them all the same. They also didn't want any of the responsibility that came with rights. It's never been a reasonable movement.
I don't think a twelve-minute video has ever managed to depress me this much this quickly. I simultaneously ache to comfort the people suffering from this delusion and yern to shout down the people propagating it.
I must be a 'walking corpse' because I love being a wife and mother. I even managed to obtain a bachelors degree and a masters degree. And G-d forbid that my masters degree is so female dominated. Yep, I am a Social Worker. Not only do I love to take care and nurture my husband and kids, I am also passionate about helping others (work through trauma, deal with mental illness, identify and achieve healthy goals, create healthy boundaries and relationships and so much more). Yep, I love being a women (and I can define it) in the freest country of the world. (try being a women in some Middle East countries and than let me know about being suppressed and not having rights)
Wow, Ben. Thank you for doing the background work on this for us. None of it is surprising to me at 73 years of age but to have it all in one video is helpful. Thank you!
@@anjieobasa1871 none of this has been about equality. It's been about denying what/who women really are and now we have men masquerading as us and no one can say anything about it.
@@ih82r8 Feminism has always been about equality it's just that there are too many in today's world that have perverted the name and movement. What about first-wave feminism? What about all those girls and women in places like Asia, Africa and most of all the middle east? Should we deny their need of equality and real feminism just because of the mistakes that take pace in the west caused by so called "feminists"?
Every single word you just said hurt me very deeply. I'm thinking about filing a police report for assault. Each sentence was as bad or worse as a knife being stabbed into me, and then twisted back and forth many times. There should be a law against hurting my feelings like that or saying something I disagree with.
He literally was teaching the history of feminism and how it really affects the reality of people, you need therapy and to study masculinity because your sensitive, too sensitive
@B3LLIC0S3 GR0$$ I think George was being sarcastic. I know it’s hard to tell nowadays but it appears he’s using dramatization/satire to make fun of the sensitive radical left.
I think their is a big difference between what feminism was and what is is. Proper old feminism was about women being treated better than making babies and something nice to look at, as toxic feminism now is about women doing what ever they want and men have to love it
I'm an older white guy but have always been trendy. I'm going to join the trend and be a woman so I can enjoy benefits not available to me as a man like having a voice that news and media want to hear, diversity hire positions, better health services, federal grants for women, oh and I'm looking forward to all the social networking opportunities! If we live in a patriarchy, why do I want to be a woman so bad?
This video is a masterpiece, straight facts, straight truth, straight powerful knowledge. I’m praying this world wakes up and stops promoting these destructive evil ideologies
Started off as an attempt to get women equal rights, looking after others. Ended out as some selfish, self worshipping movement that encourages one to care about no one else but one's self.
Its so sad that i hear the same talking points from my mom when she is angry... She is in the feminist indoctrination generation. And it took us with my brother years of talkig to get her out of this BS. Intresting how she is much happier and mentaly stable now .
Just wondering why you and sibling knew her talking points were? It's one thing to be passionate on a subject..that's not anger. You could have given one example of your description of "feminist endocrine".
@@maggiereeves2534 well when we did not do what she wanted and se became angry she always started trashing our fater, how he is evil and a scum and we are just like him and all men are enslavers and all woman are oppreses and held as slaves. Somethimes this happend for literally just not bringing out the trash. Imagine throwing this ate 12-14 year old children. Im 23 now and luckily we were able to change her back to normal. But it took years...
A little theory of mine is that the failed equal rights amendment created this sense of special privilege that characterizes a lot of modern feminism along with affirmative action. Furthermore it is interesting to see that all of these modern women are on average less happy then their "walking corpses". (Paradox of female unhappiness
Kevin Samuels has a great episode called “why are modern women so single” where he plays an interview of a writer for cozmo magazine explains regrettably being a huge influence to women in the 70s to leave the home for a sex in the city lifestyle and choose being in enormous school debt for a career over “oppressive motherhood” also there’s a great book called fascinating motherhood that combats radical feminism that everyone should read.
I made a new folder in my personal RUclips app: "Seminal". This video is the first addition. Ben, along with VDH, et. al., are national treasures. Exposition of the rudimentary forces at play is going to be our gateway out of this cultural mess. State what, from where, what happened next, impact -- pretty simple. It provides the overall platform humanity needs to understand what the hell is happening so that we can push against the extreme movements in the modern era. Ben, outstanding. Useful. Timely. Encore!
Wow I’m a women and I’m shocked at how bad just the first wave was. I feel like feminism ruined what could have been an amazing life for women :/ I want to be a wife/mother and take care of my home, children and husband. I’d go to bed satisfied with my life everyday. Compare to now, I’m cornered to work for a living like a man. It’s freaking miserable! So far I got the home and husband. Still waiting for the babies. The day I can stay home and take care of my family, and do all the chores, is the day I’ll be free.
@@danieln6700 Who said I haven't told my husband? My comment was not intended for those who don't want to read it. It is for others to know that, contrary to what most people believe, most women desire a world pre-feminism. Also, I'm not sure if you have a partner, but it very hard to depend on a one income household with a child. Especially is communist-like states. Unless you are balling. Again, something feminism ruined. But thank you for my free marriage counseling.
Really great video as always Ben. Also I will note that I’m terrible with names, but one of the founding women in the first wave said that ultimately religion was the enemy of women that men used to control them and the status quo. Particularly Christianity was named and targeted, but you can also apply this to Judaism since practically all the main institutions preserved and held by Christianity (the ones that are apparently evil and oppressive) were Jewish traditions as well.
@@catherineshaw1122 I’m not part of the general public, frankly. But, let me just say, I can totally agree with you sentiment… it sounds… *familiar* even 🤔
I think only net taxpayers should vote. More responsible voting base. And it'd be mostly male. It''s sad that those who contribute nothing to the government have so much say in its function.
I’d say Feminism goes back even further yet-to the Garden of Eden. To when Eve decided to try to put her fate outside of the rule of God and then convinced Adam to do the same. First Radical Feminist blunder and the Enemy is still laughing.

As a woman, raised by a feminist mother in a society that pushes all this stuff on me, I would just like to categorically say that I love being a wife, mother and homemaker. I love it. My voice is never heard or represented in media anywhere.

You, madam, are an inspiration.
I love your comment! I’m in the same boat - which I chose to be in voluntarily. I have a master’s degree in ecology, graduated at the top of my class too, but I chose to be a homemaker, and it’s the most fulfilling, tough, joyful, frustrating thing I have ever done. I’m just as proud of myself for sticking to my guns and making sacrifices as a ‘housewife’ in a culture where most women return to work ASAP, as I am of earning my MSc. I use my brain all the time at home, teaching my little one and learning all sorts of new skills and insights. I understand that many women cannot stay at home because of financial constraints though. And it saddens me that we live in a cultural/economic system that does not really support mothers and babies in the long run. I’m no socialist, believe me (I have a good understanding of the failure of all socialist/communist regimes in the 20th century) but our capitalistic and materialistic culture has played its part in making it difficult for many modern women to stay at home if they wanted to…just my ten cents.

I can easily attribute the misery of my upbringing to my hippie mother’s feminist ideology. When I threw off the shackles of post modern feminism I found happiness and purpose in my family. I no longer felt I was losing a battle with myself between what I was told I should want as a feminist (yes that spelling is on purpose) and what felt innately real and natural to me as a woman. Post modern feminism is a famine of reason and logic and is merely a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of itself to that it is wholly unrecognizable to the original. Feminism went from the desire for independence to have the same rights as men to own property and vote to this perversion we see today that has resulted in the misery and mutilization of both sexes and the murder of 63Million babies and counting.
Well said.
Feminism was always a perversion, it had the luxury of being widely adapted once industrialization happened.
Rights come with Responsibility.
But Feminists fight for the Rights of Men, the Privileges of Women, and the Responsibility of Children.

They also need to learn it's "equality under the law [of the land]" not "bend the physical laws of the universe to conform to our dumb ideas"
or get rid of the word fair and just use the words, right, or wrong.
Yep. Equality versus Equity. The left latches on to equity, demanding equal outcomes given some arbitrary characteristics, even though there shouldn't be equal outcomes. And get this, even if equity is achieved for a specific arbitrary group, they have infinite arbitrary identities to invent and show a lack of equity. It never ends. There is no being happy.
Best comment I've read in a long time!
Erin Pizzey, a woman that was a pioneer in funding the first and largest shelter for victims of domestic violence (both female and male) spoke once about going into a feminist meeting for the first time in the 60's. She left disapointed because it was just a bunch of "marxist women" complaining about marxist men and never adressing any real issues. Later on the whole DV industry was taken over by feminists and she had to flee Britain because of death threats. Today she's a men's rights activist.
That's so sad :
What she dared to state and stand by was that she noticed that many of the women in the women's shelter that she founded were themselves violent. They were supposedly fleeing violence, but fully admitted to their own participation in violent behavior and desire to commit violent acts. It was her attempts to provide shelters for men who were also obviously victims that could not be tolerated. Yes, she got death threats, but much worse, her pets were targeted and killed by feminist activists who wanted to silence her.
@@aranisles8292 An unbiased view of the reality of domestic violence. Our perception of it is molded by feminists point of view that clearly don't match real life experiences.
It makes me wonder how many of the things we were taught to be true are the frut of marxist\feminist college professors propaganda.
It should not be surprising that women participate in the violence between them and their spouse. Children learn what they live. Since is evident that both boys and girls are beat up, and more, by abusive parents, it stands to reason that when an abused man marries, or lives with, or has a relationship with, an abused woman, the abuse is mutual. However, this is not always true.
@@RafaelSantos-pi8py A damn lot, not least because the gullible liberal media always goes to those professors the get their 'expert' take on current events. The result is in the mainstream media there is only one story: domestic violence IS violence against women, end of story.

Although this was a very captivating, informative history lesson, it quickly became a Pandora’s Box for me. I looked up Shulamith Firestone (2nd Wave Radical Feminist) just to kind of fact check and boy do I regret it (Pandora’s Box 😱😰). To start, she had a contemptuous relationship with her Orthodox Jewish parents (her father, in particular), her brother committed suicide (but family initially lied and said cause of death was a car crash), joined and co-founded multiple radical feminist groups, left an abusive boyfriend in Chicago and moved to NY, “became” mentally ill at age 29 (later diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia), found dead at age 67 in NY studio apartment after neighbors complained of smell and, the worst or scariest of it all, her book she wrote at age 25, where you got that quote, (“The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution”) was/is one of the inspirations for so many of our current and possibly future challenges (in addition to the pronoun/gender/trans war, also the advancement of science into solving infertility issues with things such as IVG (in vitro gametogenesis) and using stem cells to create artificial sperm and eggs. 😳😰
Boy do I miss my blissful ignorant days. 😢

Ignorance can be bliss until your female students are told they have to share their locker room with a male who thinks he's a female. Thanks for the info. Now I've got good 'firepower' to impart to those who think this is just fine.
I know what you mean. I like to research, too, and usually find out the whole truth or more of the truth is more unnerving than I bargained for.
Every feminist I've ever met had daddy issues.
That's another example of how the politics of the left elevates mental illness. Mental illness, as Michel Foucault argues in Madness and Civilization, is just another system of oppression.
The women in the early 60's and 70's who argued for the eradication of motherhood and marriage all together, I am convinced, did this because no one wanted to marry them or knock them up, or even touch them. I mean... Just look at them. Total dogs.
That's an insult to dogs and you know it. Dogs are at least loyal and faithful companions that we don't deserve as a species. Liberal women on the other hand possess none of the good qualities of dogs that we prize them as companions for.
And man-haters. I suspect that the basis for some of these women’s beliefs is some kind of abuse in their childhood.
It's possible they had trauma they don't want to talk about publicly. If you watch your mother be beaten by your father as you grow grow up, or he does something worse to you, it's easy to see marriage as a prison.
Proud to say I’m not a feminist anymore.
Huh. I must be a walking corpse. I am a mom and wife. Happily so, if I’m completely honest. Even on my bad days when I need a break (because we do need those occasionally), I miss my children when I’m on my break. The leftist view of gender is so confusing- and we know that where confusion is, there is also envy, strife, and every evil work (James 3:17). I think I’ll keep my head screwed on correctly and stay in my black and white world on objective matters.

@Sijtske Borden obey isn’t the word, but submit. This is a different definition, meaning: as long as the man is in obedience and submission to Christ, we are to support the mission God has given him. The key is that he must be in submission to Christ. So by submitting to (or supporting) my husband, I am in obedience to Christ. And yes, I am continuing to grow in this area, being that my main personality is more dominant and his is laid back.
They say that one worst enemy is one's own self. This is pretty much what feminism is for women. Equality? Last time I checked, since ancients times, women had equal titles as men: King and Queen, Lord and Lady, Father and Mother. We were always equal, we simply had different roles and there is nothing wrong with that.

I think many of the kids who are so wanting to have another body will be seen as just another teen trial to go through in the future. Hopefully parents will be able to help the kids through.
When I was in college I had a guy friend that absolutely envy women because of the miracle of birth. He was not gay or trans, he simply acknowledged women were stronger and to be admired for this reason. True man admire women tenacity and strength 💪🏼

🐟 26. FEMINISM:
Feminism is the penultimate evil at present because feminism is based on the misguided assumption that women are equal to (or even SUPERIOR to) men. The only institution more destructive to human society than feminism, is illicit governance (see Chapter 22).
Equality is non-existent in this transactional sphere. Equality exists ONLY in abstract concepts such as mathematics, and arguably, on the sub-atomic level. Even identical twins are not perfectly identical in every possible criterion. Geneticists have discovered that a pair of so-called “identical twins” share, on average, about only ninety-four percent of their genetics by the time they are born. Mothers of such twins can instinctually differentiate between them, since there are always distinguishing features. Unfortunately, for a great many persons, the objective fact that equality among humans is non-existent, is impossible to accept, since they are afflicted with what is known as a “leftist” mentality.
Although a female can exhibit superior traits, skills, etcetera, to some men, a woman can never have AUTHORITY over a man. Therefore, the assertion that women are subordinate to men is based purely on this notion of authority, not on any particular attribute, such as intelligence, wisdom, beauty, physical strength, or artistic talent. Simply because a woman may be stronger or more highly-educated than her husband, for instance, does not give her the right to instruct her master in any way. No true man has ever been attracted to a domineering, bossy female.
Truth be told, no true man would ever descend to the level of accepting counsel from ANY of his subordinates. A man should fully obey his appointed masters (such as his father, grandfather, uncle, employer, or priest), and never emasculate himself by submitting to the dictates of a mere female, or any other lesser. Of course, in past millennia, it was unnecessary to explicate the reasons why (adult) males are inherently superior in authority to females - most everybody, both men and women, accepted that claim without argument, as it seemed quite logical.
However, at the time of writing, especially in the Western World, very few understand that the reason for this assertion is simply due to it being part of the natural hierarchy of society. Only emasculated, feminized “men” are unable to comprehend this very basic fact of life.
Imagine the scenario where a woman provides the material requirements of her family, physically protects her family from harm, teaches and instructs her husband and their children. Does that appear to follow the natural order of things? OBVIOUSLY not. Therefore, my point is made.
Feminist ideology commonly manifests as the desire for women to perform the societal role of the OPPOSITE gender, that is to say, partaking in intrinsically male activities, such as studying at educational institutions, working for a wage, or building business enterprises (or even more preposterously, usurping the position of a national leader or the role of a member of the Holy Priesthood!). Feminism also advocates for preferential treatment of females in institutions that may have traditionally favoured men and/or boys, even when “the tables have been completely turned-around the other way”, so to speak. In a nutshell, feminists suffer from the psychological disorder termed “penis envy”, and fundamentally yearn to become males in every conceivable way (sometimes even biologically, despite the incontrovertible fact that transitioning from one gender to the other gender being a physiological impossibility). This explains why (female) feminists are typically manly.
Conversely, as a general rule, the more feministic and gynocentric is a man, the more effeminate and uxorious is his behaviour and manner.
This aspiration of a person wishing to seize the position of another person, deemed to be of higher value, is a common phenomenon in MALES as well, such as working-class men who consider themselves to be rulers/kings or priests. Every so-called “priest” and every national leader on earth, with virtually no exceptions, is either a worker, a businessman, or even more risibly, a mere female, who is literally stealing the occupation of an authentic guru or arrogating the role of a king. Such persons are, therefore, full-time criminals and ought to be censured.
Feminists are victims of the SLAVISH mentality that the instigators of that evil, pernicious ideology (Karl Marx and the so-called “Globalist Elite”) have always wanted them to be. The desire to serve is a natural propensity of humans, but one ought to serve a lawful authority.
It is extremely unfortunate that the vast majority of women are unable to see the obvious truth that feminist ideology wants the destruction of women (as well as society as a whole), as can clearly be seen at present. At least it is clearly seen by any decent, wise and intelligent person.
Due to feminist indoctrination and lack of proper discipline, as a consequence of an increasingly profane and secular world, modern women have become EXTREMELY debased. The typical woman nowadays is afflicted with bitterness, uncontrolled emotions (especially jealousy), gross immodesty, greed, arrogance, misery, snobbishness, and loneliness due to a false sense of “independence”, with hardly a single noble quality.
In those gynocentric societies that are dominated by feminism, men are urged to avoid any UNNECESSARY contact with the opposite gender. Those (heterosexual) males who disregard this sage advice will invariably regret their choices, either after experiencing false allegations against them, the destruction of their families through divorce, or after constant rejection by snobby women.
However, let it be made clear: the greatest enemy of males is NOT the opposite sex, but those uxorious “white-knight” so-called “men” who do the bidding of feminist ideologues, since they have far greater power than females, despite being truly pathetic-excuses-for-men.

This kind of shows why you should regulate universities at least to some degree, to make sure academics adhere to the scientific method and do not abuse their scientific authority to create crazy cults and turn their doctrines into accepted truth, completely detached from any serious effort to understand reality as it is, which is the core of science. There need to be standards.
The problem is that the true scientist are actually working and doing research on trying to develop a new type of battery or device to store energy (which is what's truly holding back innovation & green technology). So the idiots and C-grade people are left to fo figure out what the scientifique methud is & how to apply it to everything else that innovation doesn't depend on.
The lefts goal is to eradicate truth. To make everything completely subjective. That there isn’t a single reality that we all live in together but that we all create our own reality. Putting the ego above everything else
I don't know if the lack of "regulation" is the problem as much as what has become the "veneration" of the academy. There's a lack of skepticism because we've swallowed the notion that knowledge and wisdom are the ONLY possible outcomes our education system can produce. That has proved a misguided assumption.
There’s no need to regulate just laugh at them. They hate that. Parents need to start teaching critical thinking skills & personal responsibility so their little nitwits quit falling for this garbage. Why even attend college for anything other than the hard sciences? Anyone can learn anything these days. Stop giving them money and importance.
No this is why conservatives need to get into the education system and open their own schools and become teachers.
I grew up in the 50's and 60's , completely affected by this stuff yet not understanding any of this until I was an adult. As in a 50year old. It took me until my 40's to be comfortable as a woman. I managed a bookstore as a women, not a bossy wanna be man. I didn't enjoy being a mom until I was a grandmother raising a grandchild because I thought I shouldn't. Feminisms messes up women completely. My husband, in his loving me completely, helped me find myself nie than a bunch of shrieking women ever did. Now- women have the right to vote, the right to work, the right to be self-autonomous (have credit, property etc.) But self-destructing by saying men are the enemy? That's a little short-sighted.
How sad that these women didn't understand how amazing being a woman is; how amazing motherhood and raising wonderful children is...they totally missed out.
I have to admit, I wanted nothing to do with motherhood. I had no intention to ever raise a family. But God knew better and sent me a child. It has been the greatest experience of my life.
@@thecouchpotatocom Were you married or was it a happy accident?
They were also not allowed to vote, couldn't get jobs so as a result even if they were being abused they couldn't leave their husbands because they were financially dependent on them. So I'm glad feminism happened
Lesbians for the most part - hardened boiled leather
it's also wonderful to be able to work and live the life you want to live. Not every women is meant to be a mother let alone be married and that is completely fine.
I'd say it dates back WAY further back in history. The inital ideas of radical feminism, transgenderism, intersecionality all have one thing in common: A struggle for power. Karl Marx described the world as a forever battleground between group A and B (which he explained was the poor and the rich) but since the USSR and other such states failed basically from the get-go these people redefined the groups. It became Men vs women, feminism, it became biology vs people, transgenderism, it because blacks vs whites or latino vs whites or whatever. The doctrine of these groups, of the post-modernist movement, is a struggle for power between different groups. Their doctrines say that you are not a person but rather a pixle in a larger group identity or race or sex or whatever. Division is their goal, division is their call of devil.
Bingo!! Divide and demoralize, that makes it easier to control the general population.
Marxist idea of class war would not work in the US simply due to the avavailabiliy to all of upward motion. A free market society allows for the "poor" to elevate their class status by working within that system. This had never existed before in modernity. Yes it takes time, and hard work, but the concept of the American Dream brought many to the US for the chance at a better life for that very reason. This is why the Modern Marxists had to find another way of division to create the A vs B. There was another bogeyman in the shadows "keeping you down". The sad part is many buy into this ideal now, suppress themselves, and wear this oppression like a "look at me" trophy.
Yes the game is rigged, yes it's hard, yes some get the benefit of a closer to the goal starting point in life, but that doesn't mean you cant work smart, grind and make it yourself. It's your life. It's your responsibility to make it the best you can, to the best of YOUR abilities, to how you deem fit.
@@Hollymidlife Marx fundamentally believe that if you are born poor you will die poor unless you destroy the system, it is pretty manipulative itself since he doesnt believe that a system could make a poor man rich by working hard, but at least he had the excuse of never knowing a system capable of making a poor man rich, but he didnt fundamentally believe in it, so he knew exactly what he was saying, he wanted destruction and rage.

Yes. The irony is that women's rights serves capitalism on multiple levels. Bring women into the workforce to drive wages down and create insecurity in the workforce to take power away from workers. Increase the cost of living so that a household requires two wage-earners just to get by. Deprive children of the care and influence of their parents the better to turn them into obedient workers etc. Very convenient, I'd say.
I mean... You aren't wrong. Especially when you now see companies happily offering to pay for women to go get abortions. They know very well that having to retain an employee that is on maternity leave is lost productivity and revenue along with the corporate insurance covering part of the medical cost for the birth.
If these marxist feminazi hated the capitalism so much why are they excited to be taken advantage of by them???
It’s incredible but I have more freedom and peace at home with my children than I did as a independent woman in the workforce. I didn’t last one year there, that was a battlefield with miserable women.
"From the beginning, He created them, male and female."
There's a reason why that little phrase is written down.
I doubt that they had anything remotely resembling a feminist movement back then. You're reading way too much (through 21-century lenses) into what would simply have seemed a statement of the obvious, like "dogs walk on four legs." There MAY have been previous religions whose mythology said that men were created first and then women later, perhaps even by two different gods.
I could be wrong on this, but, I was a young woman when modern “feminism” was born. I always thought it was more about CHOICE. If you wanted to stay home with your family, good. If you wanted to have a family & have a career, good. If you wanted to be married & NOT have children, good. If you didn’t want to get married & instead,have a career,good.
Of course. This video is propaganda
My point was that it evolved from CHOICES to the insanity it is today…….
@@normalee2682 my point is, that feminism is still all of those things. A feminist doesn’t care if you want to be a mother, a housewife, single or career driven. A feminist doesn’t care how masculine or feminine the roles in your life are. As long as your feelings are not being dismissed in the home and your intelligence isn’t being undermined in the workplace. Don’t let propaganda turn you off fundamentally good movements. Ben Shapiro is incredibly smart with a very manipulative political agenda. He is not on your team. Take care.

Worth noting that Susan B Anthony and Elizabeth Caddy Stanton were both VEHEMENTLY against abortion.
Great video, with a few corrections.
Mary Wollstonecraft wrote two treatises, A Vindication of the Rights of Men, in angry response to Burke, and A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, in response mainly to her idol Rousseau. Contrary to common perception, the latter feminist work already forecasts the utopianism and double standards of the modern women's movement, and is rife with irrational special pleading and internal incoherencies. In arguing that one cannot say anything about women's 'nature' because women have been formed by social circumstances and external pressures, Wollstonecraft was already developing an early version of the social constructionism that has led to the trans and gender-non-binary phenomena.
Susan B. Anthony was not present at the Seneca Falls Convention; only Stanton was. The two women had not met yet in 1848. Anyone interested in the allegedly sane and idealistic origins of American feminism should consult the document signed at Seneca Falls, which declares that “The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpation on the part of man toward woman, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her.” And men signed this fire-breathing false allegation! It could not be more wrong to say that feminism ever had idealistic intentions.
It is important to understand that early feminists always made two contradictory arguments at the same time, characteristic of our present feminists: that women were just as good as men (if not better!) and that wherever women hadn't achieved what men had achieved, sexism was the sole reason for the discrepancy; but also that women had special needs and special rights (as well as special qualities and abilities) that deserved special protections, perquisites, and commendation. No early feminist argued that women were "the same" as men (of course not! the same as those immoral, sexually ravenous brutes?). Their arguments were always shot through with female supremacism, anti-male animus, and special pleading.
By the time of the 1980s and on, the Second Wave (characterized by the outrageously man-hating writings of Marxist-inspired Betty Friedan and Kate Millett) was already splitting into many different (and competing) victimology factions. Intersectional feminism, with its emphasis on race and empire (see the work of Kimberle Crenshaw, bell hooks, Gayatri Spivak, for example), was already a primary doctrine; and radical feminism of the Andrea Dworkin and Sheila Jeffreys variety was already starting to reject the emphasis on gender fluidity. It's hard to make the argument that there is any continuous through-line in feminist development. The one constant was the emphasis on the perfidy of heterosexual white men.
Academics always need to create new ideas. Eventually they create nonsense if they are not forced to ground it in measurable reality
These people basically have the most braindead concepts you can imagine, literally, i have seen it, and they are SO FAR up their asses that they never say "Wow wow wow now what the hell are you talking about?" they believe that agreeing whit madness is a form of "Intellect"

Ben much respect to you, and I am grateful for your work so no disrespect but.. if she was FOR killing infants I'm pretty sure she had no problem with abortion.
@Nonaya Bidness every time you have sex,, you do so with the knowledge that sexual act could possibly lead to pregnancy even if you're being careful. If you know that you would murder the preborn person that you could possibly become pregnant with,,, then don't have sex. It's that simple. If you can't enjoy sex without becoming a murderer then don't have sex. There's plenty of other ways to achieve the pleasure of an orgasm.

I was trying to explain to my kid about how 3rd Wave Feminism is one of the causes of our ability to being able to afford living on one income is so hard. Of course she's 21 so she talks about overpaid CEOs, of which I was able to explain that you can't simply explain our wages vs higher prices on just one person getting a lot of money for their job.
Fr I don’t understand why people decide to blame everything on a few billionaires
Everything is about the math of the free market. Mass Workforce participation of women doubled the amount of available labor making it less valuable. The recent reluctance of Workforce participation has made labor a scarce commodity and more valuable but has also depleted Supply of the products we consume making them more valuable and the increase in the cost of those products has outpaced the wage gains. Also almost all CEOs are untalented or mediocre at best and are way overpaid. The Perpetual problem is governments desire to manage and manipulate the free market rather than letting it do its job. Sometimes you have to take your medicine and if we did that in smaller doses instead of the government and manipulating its way out we wouldn't have the absolute shitstorm that eventually becomes unavoidable.
I already don´t understand your first sentence. Either I´m very stupid or there´s some fucked up grammar, but I´ve read it ten times now and I can´t make sense of it. Oddly enough 12 other people already liked your comment within just 17 minutes, which is very impressive. So I´m gonna go with the conclusion, that I´m just dumb as fuck.....
To this day, i have no idea why everyone keeps blaming the CEOs. Like... if you ever meet those kinds of people, Yea they got money, but they FLIPPING WORK THEIR ASSES OFF FOR IT. There hasn't been a CEO in my industry that i've met that their Admin assistant/secretary doesn't have to force them to sit down and eat lunch cuz they have to keep flying around, meeting people, and fixing problems in their company.
There are a few companies that are setup to give employees a stake in the company which ties to their pay to overall performance and profitability where there isn't say a huge pay gap. This leads to everyone accountable for the success of the company. They all have a say to hire or terminate employees that aren't a good "fit". There are no laws against this nor the way most traditional companies/corporations are run where the top execs get stupid salaries. There are also no laws from keeping YOU starting any type of business as first described if you think CEOs are paid too much.

Wanting voting rights and General equality is not cancer. What feminism has evolved to definitely is cancer.

It is an inherent disadvantage at minimum and can be entirely toxic at it's extreme. No one wants to feel that their opinions are not valued.

Just wondering why you and sibling knew her talking points were? It's one thing to be passionate on a subject..that's not anger. You could have given one example of your description of "feminist endocrine".
@@maggiereeves2534 well when we did not do what she wanted and se became angry she always started trashing our fater, how he is evil and a scum and we are just like him and all men are enslavers and all woman are oppreses and held as slaves.
Somethimes this happend for literally just not bringing out the trash. Imagine throwing this ate 12-14 year old children.
Im 23 now and luckily we were able to change her back to normal. But it took years...
A little theory of mine is that the failed equal rights amendment created this sense of special privilege that characterizes a lot of modern feminism along with affirmative action. Furthermore it is interesting to see that all of these modern women are on average less happy then their "walking corpses". (Paradox of female unhappiness
“Destorying” vs “destroying.”
“LGBTQIAA plus minus divided by sign”
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m in stitches!
Love Ben Shapiro History Lessons
Kevin Samuels has a great episode called “why are modern women so single” where he plays an interview of a writer for cozmo magazine explains regrettably being a huge influence to women in the 70s to leave the home for a sex in the city lifestyle and choose being in enormous school debt for a career over “oppressive motherhood” also there’s a great book called fascinating motherhood that combats radical feminism that everyone should read.
I made a new folder in my personal RUclips app: "Seminal". This video is the first addition. Ben, along with VDH, et. al., are national treasures. Exposition of the rudimentary forces at play is going to be our gateway out of this cultural mess. State what, from where, what happened next, impact -- pretty simple. It provides the overall platform humanity needs to understand what the hell is happening so that we can push against the extreme movements in the modern era. Ben, outstanding. Useful. Timely. Encore!
We live in a confused world. Totally confused world.
To say that Margaret Sanger was in favour of Eugenics "a little bit" is like saying McDonalds is in favour of profits, a little bit.
He was being “tongue in cheek.’
Wow I’m a women and I’m shocked at how bad just the first wave was. I feel like feminism ruined what could have been an amazing life for women :/ I want to be a wife/mother and take care of my home, children and husband. I’d go to bed satisfied with my life everyday. Compare to now, I’m cornered to work for a living like a man. It’s freaking miserable! So far I got the home and husband. Still waiting for the babies. The day I can stay home and take care of my family, and do all the chores, is the day I’ll be free.
U should do that and talk to your partner instead of complaining here. To many people don't communicate now
@@danieln6700 Who said I haven't told my husband? My comment was not intended for those who don't want to read it. It is for others to know that, contrary to what most people believe, most women desire a world pre-feminism. Also, I'm not sure if you have a partner, but it very hard to depend on a one income household with a child. Especially is communist-like states. Unless you are balling. Again, something feminism ruined.
But thank you for my free marriage counseling.
!W😍W!
Mad props to the artist and the message!
Really great video as always Ben. Also I will note that I’m terrible with names, but one of the founding women in the first wave said that ultimately religion was the enemy of women that men used to control them and the status quo. Particularly Christianity was named and targeted, but you can also apply this to Judaism since practically all the main institutions preserved and held by Christianity (the ones that are apparently evil and oppressive) were Jewish traditions as well.
@Nonaya Bidness Ok
Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the OG feminists believed that giving women the right to vote would finally end abortion.
I think that like 95% of women shouldn’t be able to vote but I also think that about 90% of men shouldn’t be allowed to, either.
The general public makes me hope that the Illuminati is real, lol.
@@catherineshaw1122 I’m not part of the general public, frankly. But, let me just say, I can totally agree with you sentiment… it sounds… *familiar* even 🤔
@@perfectplayingplaids I wouldn't have said that to you if I'd thought you were, lol ;)
Oh weird so like… based woman moment or something?
I think only net taxpayers should vote.
More responsible voting base. And it'd be mostly male.
It''s sad that those who contribute nothing to the government have so much say in its function.
MIssed an opportunity by not titling this "MANsplaining Real History" lol
Thank you Ben for addressing the big white elephant in the room that is the root of all of our modern problems within our culture. That is…… feminism.
I’d say Feminism goes back even further yet-to the Garden of Eden. To when Eve decided to try to put her fate outside of the rule of God and then convinced Adam to do the same. First Radical Feminist blunder and the Enemy is still laughing.
The garden of eden had nothing to do with feminism . no im not a feminist ... But it had nothing to do with that .
This comparison makes no sense, Retta. Have you even read Genesis yourself?
@@quesadilla9957 thank you. Im not a feminist but i get sick of the whole let's blame women for everything troupe rolls eyes ok herod lol but furthermore yes your correct it had to do with innocence and deception nothing to do with feminazis lol
@@morganreigns1984 Of course, I completely understand why it would frustrate you. It’s fairly obvious that there’s illiteracy in these comments.
@@quesadilla9957 thank you
Never before have I facepalmed this often in 12 minutes.
It is surprising how many humans do not feel they have the divine right to experience an abundant life. This is so sad, when you consider that true abundance isn't something bought, or given, it is something that is shared. Till at last we rise forever in the arms of perfect love.
