I don’t believe I’ve expressed my views on feminism.
This bit at I Could be wrong has prompted me to share.
If there are prejudices in Universities against women in science, they are remarkably subtle. The prejudices against men are institutionalized and overt. Concerning institutional restrictions against any speech the feminists don’t like: these restrictions are massive, overpowering, and virtually 100% intimidating. On the rare occasion such speech is uttered by a professor in a prominent university, it tends to be national news.
I speak as a woman who has worked in a male work setting for all of my adult life. I can say with some authority that the time has come to dismantle organized feminism.
Allow me to first acknowledge the pioneering work of those who did break ground in the struggle for equality rights for women – the right to vote, the right to equal opportunity in politics and employment and property rights. I have gratitude and the deepest respect for the accomplishments of those who were, at the time, considered little more than legal property, subject to the authority of male family members.
As they say, though – “that was then, and this is now”. The “then” that “was” has been consigned to the dustbin of history for quite a long time. What loose threads remained in women’s equality were tied up a long time ago.
If women were the rational, thinking human beings our acronymed advocates claim we are, “organized feminism” could even choose to commemorate the moment of the movement’s modern obsolescence��- if “organized feminism” wasn’t such a monotonously predictable leftist waste of female flesh.

The moment occured in 1979. It came in the person of a woman named Margaret Thatcher. |

Alas, in the eyes of organized feminism, this didn’t “count”. Margaret Thatcher’s ascent to the Prime Ministerial post in Great Britain – and two time re-election? Meaningless. An irrelevant footnote of history not worthy of true feminist recognition.
You see, Maggie Thatcher was a conservative, which unfortunately, made her a man.
(Had the grand “Iron Lady” only had the good sense to be a lesbian, the feminist movement would have died a natural death in an uncontrolled chain reaction of spontanious head explosions – but such was not to be.)
25 years have now passed, and Maggie Thatcher has lived long enough to see her accomplishments safely consigned to history. If her tenure as three-time Prime Minister of Great Britain are not sufficient to put the feminist movement to bed with a warm pat and a “well done”, well, this whole “equality” thing was just not meant to be.
Though women of today have demonstrated the ability to accumlate vast wealth and govern great nations, while women represent, numerically, the majority of humankind, we must accept that true “equality” can never be ours. The feminist movement has failed, through no fault of our own. It’s just that the goal wasn’t valid to begin with.
There’s no way around it, girls. It is time to throw in the towel and accept our inferiority to men.
