⚰️ I'm reminded of that post you made before, the one regarding the "think piece" on limiting educational opportunities for women in order to increase the birth rate. Yeah, they know what a woman is: a breeding sow, to be kept in domestic slavery.

I expect to see a lot of articles come out in the next several months or even years, trying to convince women that this is what they actually want, that it's some kind of liberation. Everyone's quick to call out the cultiness of trans rights activism, but why won't they apply the same labels to this governmentally-approved godbothering? It's men on both sides exploiting the passionate beliefs, often of women and not just men, to keep themselves in power.

Quote:For years, political scientist Scott Yenor has advocated for overhauling colleges and universities, which he has argued undermine traditional American families by encouraging women to pursue careers and put off childbirth.

Now Yenor may get a chance to implement his policy proposals after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed him to the board of the University of West Florida, a public school in Pensacola with about 14,000 students.

Quote:Speaking at the National Conservatism Conference in 2021, Yenor detailed what he sees as the “evils” of feminism, labeled “independent women” as “medicated, meddlesome and quarrelsome” and decried colleges and universities as “the citadels of our gynecocracy” — a form of government run by women.

“If we want a great nation, we should be preparing young women to become mothers,” Yenor said, “not finding every reason for young women to delay motherhood until they are established in a career or sufficiently independent.”

Quote:“Every effort must be made not to recruit women into engineering, but rather to recruit and demand more of men who become engineers. Ditto for med school and the law and every trade,” Yenor said.

“If every Nobel Prize winner is a man, that’s not a failure. It’s kind of a cause for celebration,” he added.

Psychotic.

(Jan 12 2025, 10:28 AM)Elsacat It's men on both sides exploiting the passionate beliefs, often of women and not just men, to keep themselves in power.

It's a very common thread in both liberal feminism and conservativism to exploit women's negative experiences to tell them "See? You're not meant to do this after all. You should just stay at home!" when they start buckling under the weight of all the misogyny that men push on them every day of their lives. Because libfems are so focused on the most shallow individual feelings instead of evaluating the actual benefit to women, they try to paint women retreating into their shells as a unique individual choice while conservatives straight up celebrate it as the natural order of things. "As long as it's what you want, sweetie!" makes all the downsides and pressures involved in their choice disappear. Liberal femonism makes women wholly unprepared to evaluate the harm vs benefit of the society around them and ends up being "It's ok if all women become housewives as long as we wax poetical about how freely chosen and empowering it is this time 😌"

I'm not trying to derail from a male supremacist religious Republican cult onto comparatively less harmful libfems but it enrages me that the most mainstream widespread feminism does nothing to prepare women for this except say that it's a bad look to say ALL women stay in the kitchen, rather than just the ones who choose to.
