Just wanted to share this because it's soul-healing to witness the awakening of people who are so dumb that they require touching the stove to realize it will burn them.
Also found the paragraphs on the trad-wife-curious Romanian economist podcaster Alex Kaschuta pretty fascinating.
Quote:The mother of young children, Kaschuta described internalizing tradwife ideas about women’s primacy in the home. When she tried to take on all the domestic labor in her own family, it nearly broke her. She started to realize that while the new right’s racism and misogyny were often delivered with an ironic smirk, it was no joke. she said. As a woman, she said, “you’d have to lean back and just accept that people will belittle you.”
Welcome to second-wave feminism, little one. I'm sorry you had to experience why the second wave emerged first-hand, but maybe now you'll get why feminism is still necessary today (and will probably always be necessary).
I also appreciated this:
Quote:One reason some people reacted so furiously against wokeness is that they felt as if they were being pressured into dishonesty; trans women in sports became a major flashpoint not just because of perceived unfairness, but also because people felt bullied into denying the existence of sex differences.
Yes, genderism is profoundly dishonest and its denial of sex differences and forcing of males into female spaces is straight-up bullying. Predictably, I've already seen one TIM whining about Goldberg's "transphobia".
Anyways, I found it an enjoyable read as the maniacs these right-wing idiots helped to elect continue to destroy the world we all live in.
