Excellent essay. Thanks very much for connecting the research to help understand the potent negativity of feminism. It has always puzzled me how women, who under normal circumstances seem loving and compassionate, totally lose that aspect of themselves when swallowing the feminist hate.
Gynocentrism runs silent and it runs deep. People are simply unaware.
That’s the point of feminism — to convince women that femininity is weakness and masculinity is progress. Instead of raising children, grind in the corporate world. Instead of being compassionate, be combative. It flips gender roles and breeds division. I just wrote a piece on this if you're curious: davidmaren.com/p/modern-feminism-has-lost-its-way
I don't buy that there should be any action movement such as feminism, either for women *or* for men. But you have convincingly argued that if there is a need for such a movement, it is more reasonably directed toward men than women. We have a built in, natural mechanism toward protection of women. If protections need to be subsidized by human societies, the evidence you present here suggests they should point specifically toward men.
With reference to your quote " “men helped more than women and women received more help than men” it is highly probable that females of all mammalian species have a strong maternal instinct which is partly sub conscious. Rudyard Kipling provided an unforgettable example in his
short story Rikki Tikki Tavi. Kipling shows why females will always do what is required to obtain all the help they can get to protect their offspring even if that means sacrificing the father of the child.
I've long suspected that feminism's problems stem from its focus on women as a group & their conflict with men. But it’s another thing entirely to see it proven with such scholarship.
Feminism was created *Specifically* to Weaponize Women's Darker Impulses. It literally gets them to hate their own natures. No surprise then that far more Women avail themselves of (so-called) 'Mental Health' resources. Of course the entire concept of 'Mental Illness' is just as much of a Bane posing as a Boon as Feminism is, but that's another story.
While I don't doubt the stats from studies saying that- 'Women prefer Women more than Men prefer Men', I also am quite sure that's Women *Lying* to themselves. While both Sexes (I will never use the Cultural Marxist's replacement word, 'Gender') lie at roughly the same rate, my own studies, though ancedotal, seem to indicate one critical difference- Women are far more likely to lie, and make themselves BELIEVE those lies, in a way that Men rarely do.
If Women prefer their own company so much, why do so many Women talk about how much they dislike working with only Women? Why are Women so much more vicious and unforgiving with other Women who are not part of the 'in-crowd'? Why is the highest rate of Sexual Assault among couples actually found in Lesbian couples? Given the 'Women Prefer Women' narrative, one would think such pairings would be a paradise.
The Ladies are lying, as a form of instinctive social solidarity. Also, as to Men prefering Women as well, that is 95% because they tend to be prettier to look at. It's becoming known that many 'pro-feminist' Men are some of the worst hypocrites and abusers of Women. Even if they don't have dark motives, most Guys are just trying to 'get some', by playing to what they think Women want.
Too many Women are being driven crazy by the difference between what they THINK they want and what they really want.
Oh, it's based on more than that. It's also based on a hatred of Families, Motherhood and Femininity itself. But Men, yes. Men most of all.
I don't remember if I said this already, so please forgive any potential redundancy, but back in 1996-97 I was engaged to an Ardent Feminist, back when I believed the lie it was about equality. I learned the hard way it was nothing of the sort.
In short, because I valued truth more than her feelings, she left, calling me, 'The most abusive Man I've ever known.'
In the years that followed, struggling to understand what the hell had happened, I did a large amount of research into Feminism, which also included reading the book my Ex called her 'Bible'. That's "Secret Survivors" by E. Sue Blume, for the curious. In that book, Blume states flat-out that Men are abusive by *Nature*, while Women cannot be abusive under *any* circumstances.
Once I read that, my Ex's behavior made perfect sense. This is what I was talking about re: Women thinking they want one thing, but really wanting another. Logically, given her Ideology, she should never have even *wanted* to be married, but her own deep-seated desire made her accept the contradiction... Until actually BEING in a relationship forced her to, 'Pick a Side'. Sadly, she chose the wrong one.
Kate Millet, American feminist, author and artist the founder of NOW. Her sister Mallory was invited to one of the first meetings that established NOW which basically pioneered the feminist movement and she opened the meeting with the following; Why are we here today To make revolution, what kind of revolution, the cultural revolution, and how do we make cultural revolution, by destroying the American Family, how do we destroy the family, by destroying the American Patriarch, and how do we destroy the American Patriarch, by taking away his power, and how do we do that, by destroying monogamy, and how do we destroy monogamy, by promoting promiscuity, eroticism, prostitution, and homosexuality, and how to advance these goals, by establishing National Organization of Women. It was clear that they desired nothing less that the utter deconstruction of western society
This is what all 'Conservative' Commentators with any reach (as far as I'm aware), refuse to address. Perhaps some are so blind they can't actually see it, but I am skeptical.
Wow.
Yes

Feminism is not about equality
It is an ideology based on nothing but hatred of men and boys and is really all about power and SPECIAL STATUS FOR WOMEN IN ALL THINGS
Feminism is the largest hate movement the world has ever seen
They hate 1/2 of world’s entire population

Women are dangerous!

Exactly!
