The same people who two months ago were bashing bodily autonomy and supporting the destruction of livelihoods for those who refuse to comply are now shrilly demanding the most extreme and radical bodily autonomy — so extreme it involves the elimination of\u00a0 another person. Feminism feeds on the most blatant contradictions.<\/p>\n<p>Feminism is rooted in a hatred of true womanhood and motherhood. It is promoted with a blazing passion and a feverish hysteria. So many personal lives have been wrecked by this ideology, so many homes destroyed that many people, both women and men, bear an existential wound. They lash out in pain and think the cure is more feminism.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the post:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/debate\/article-2043950\/UK-binge-drinking-Girls-gutter-betrayal-feminism.html\">Writing<\/a> in the <em>Daily Mail, <\/em>Amanda Platell berates Britain’s\u00a0female yobs for\u00a0binge drinking and whorish clothes.\u00a0She says,\u00a0with a straight face, that\u00a0all this is a <em>betrayal<\/em> of feminism.\u00a0Platell writes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">It\u2019s bad enough that so many young women up and down this country dress as though they\u2019re about to do a shift in the local pole-dancing club when they\u2019re out and about on a Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Far worse is that, after a century of fighting for women\u2019s rights, they express their equality with men by standing up to go to the lavatory in the street.<\/p>\n<p>How else does she expect the woman of average or below average\u00a0ability to\u00a0express her equality, by becoming prime minister?<\/p>\n<p>The professional\u00a0feminist plunders society\u00a0and then chastises the lower classes for\u00a0the resulting\u00a0chaos in the streets.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>She\u00a0demeans marriage, howls at the mere mention of\u00a0financial dependence in women, and then, in this case,\u00a0wonders why women in their twenties, women who would have been married mothers in the pre-feminist era, are now vomiting outside the pub. She insists on sexual freedom\u00a0and then\u00a0expresses surprise and revulsion that women are now dressed like tarts. She\u00a0claims everything men do women must do too, and then wonders why feminine reticence\u00a0has\u00a0disappeared.<\/p>\n<p>At least,\u00a0this snobbery and indifference may now be exposed for what they are. Feminism\u00a0always\u00a0has been\u00a0a raw deal for the women for whom life is more important than success.\u00a0If you are destined to be\u00a0an unmarried mother working at an uninspiring office job, why not drink it away early? Why not expose your tattooed breasts if that’s all that’s left of womanhood?\u00a0Better cheap femininity than none at all.<\/p>\n<p>Platell denies any elitism. She writes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">To be fair, those girls outside were in stark contrast to the young women inside the hotel, working in reception and in restaurants and bars, smartly dressed, most of them paying their way through college or university.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">It\u2019s not an educational underclass the drunken women I encountered belong to, so much as a moral underclass. They\u2019re lacking in decency, devoid of dignity \u2014 and they wonder why men treat them like trash.<\/p>\n<p>But she\u00a0only affirms the charge of elitism. In her mind, every woman on earth is capable of going to college and aspiring\u00a0to a high-level career.\u00a0Family and home,\u00a0the realm that gives women who have no career ambitions or great talents\u00a0the most satisfaction, have been decimated\u00a0by the feminist, who always saw these as\u00a0beautiful hobbies at best and at worst, a\u00a0demeaning waste of time.\u00a0Platell herself shows this in her admiration reserved for the hard-working\u00a0careerists in the hotel. The lower class woman who once worked as a domestic servant or factory worker\u00a0had\u00a0dignity too. In\u00a0her family life, her marriage\u00a0and motherhood,\u00a0she was performing exalted tasks <em>even when she had to work<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THIS POST\u00a0from 2011 perhaps offers some food for thought as we see “the endless, feminist hypocrisy” at work this week, after the strange, “leaked” announcement that the Supreme Court may invalidate Roe vs. Wade.
