The 5 Fatal Flaws of Modern Feminism

For a lot of men in America, “feminism” has become a dirty word. In their mind, “feminism” is a bunch of damaged, angry, purple-haired harpies with mental problems raging over the idea that men are allowed to exist and that babies can’t be killed at will via abortion everywhere. Is this stereotype true? Well, mostly? Yeah… but that is the headline version. The cartoon version. The meme version of modern feminism:

Let’s dig a little deeper than that into what’s wrong with modern feminism.

1) Feminism is fighting a war that has already been won: Initially, feminism was about women getting equal rights with men. Women wanted to be able to get a job, go to school, vote, and generally not be treated as 2^nd class citizens by men. Seems fair enough, right? Well, feminism achieved all those goals and then some:

However, feminism went down the same path we’ve seen with so many other great causes over the years:

After feminism conclusively won every battle it faced, new battles had to be invented to keep the spotlight on feminists & the money rolling in. So, they got obsessive about abortion, eliminating a “pay gap” that every honest, intelligent person knows by now is caused by women’s own choices, and fighting battles against a non-existent patriarchy that’s supposedly holding them down. The basic problem with feminism in 2025 is that like PBS or NPR, there’s no longer a real reason for it to exist at all.

2) Not recognizing the difference between men and women: This isn’t even about perverted mentally ill men deciding to wear dresses, give themselves female names, and enjoy making women uncomfortable in locker rooms (which bizarrely, is something feminists are heavily split on). It’s about feminists understanding that men and women are fundamentally different creatures and that just because men do something doesn’t mean women should do it, too.

Keep this in mind listening to John Tierney talk about how even in Scrabble and Bridge tournaments, where women don’t have any obvious disadvantage, men dominate the top rankings:

Why is this? Well, I’d say it’s because women primarily get judged by the world on how attractive they are while men tend to get judged on how much they accomplish. It doesn’t mean that other things aren’t important, but it tends to give men a degree of drive that’s hard for women to match. Similarly, why do men dominate political and CEO positions? Again, a big part of it is that self-esteem and ego are tied up in achieving those kinds of accomplishments in a way that most women will never experience. An unaccomplished, attractive, feminine woman is considered to be of much higher value by men and (yes, really) women than say an average-looking, female regional manager.

Additionally, we can’t forget how biology plays into this. Women’s looks and fertility start to drop off at a much younger age than men. In fact, although there are obviously lots of attractive women and ladies who have children past these ages, the peak of attractiveness and fertility for most women is in their EARLY TWENTIES.

A 35-year-old man will likely have far more prestige than he did at say 22, has lost less of his fertility and if he takes care of himself, he may be nearly as attractive. This isn’t true for most women, which is not a message you’re going to get from feminists. This isn’t good or bad, it just is, and pretending that men and women are essentially mirror images of each other except women are a little better (as feminists would generally tell you) will lead to a lot of bad life choices for most women. Women can’t be men and if they try, they will almost inevitably end up as pale imitations of the real thing.

3) Being against traditional female roles: One of the great ironies of modern feminism is that it essentially tells women they can be anything they want to be and have it all! However, if women decide to take that freedom down a traditional route and marry young, take care of a man, and raise babies with him, they’ll get nothing but scorn from feminists.

Feminists almost universally despise the idea of women doing anything to please a man in any way that doesn’t relate to sex. They also look down on stay-at-home moms, as if creating life and spending a lifetime in a loving relationship is somehow a less fulfilling choice than climbing the ladder at some faceless corporation where they view you as a widget to be disposed of the second they can get someone who can somehow add 50 cents more per hour to the bottom line.

As the always controversial Gavin McInnes once told me in an interview:

That’s sort of like this divine intervention that women have. They’ve been given this magical gift that allows them to give birth. So, a human comes out of them and soon, it’s walking around, talking, making them laugh, hugging them and when it’s 24, it’s having a glass of wine with them and talking about life. That thing that came out of you is having a glass of wine with you right now? And it bought you a sweater? What kind of magic wizard are you?

...It’s sort of like Superman if he was just Clark Kent. He’d be this bumbling, nerdy journalist, not really getting good scoops and getting abused by his editor and you’d go up to him and go, “Clark, you can fly so fast around the world that time goes backward. Why are you focusing on this Daily Planet crap?” It’s like a wizard if he just worked at a record store and didn’t do any spells. It’d be like, “Dude, you can turn people into a frog. Why are you selling vinyl?”

So, I think feminism has told women a lie and the truth is 95% of women will be happier at home using their magical gift, their Iron Man superpower, and 5%, I don’t think should have kids. We’ve told them the reverse. 95% need to have a career and if they want to have kids, they need to have them at 45 or 50 when they need to have $20,000 to try to turn back the ovarian clock. That makes them miserable. It’s cruel. It’s cruel to make Clark Kent focus on his crap work at the Daily Planet.

4) Feminism pursues rights without responsibilities: Feminism always wants to have it both ways. On the one hand, they want to hear, “You go girl! You don’t need a man! You can do anything a man can do except better while looking fabulous in high heels!” However, the moment that’s not the most advantageous position for them, they switch back to, “Women are delicate, helpless flowers without any agency! You can’t expect women to be able to handle that! They’re just girls!” If you want a classic example of it, there’s a poster from Coastal Carolina University you may have seen around:

Incidentally, this kind of thing happens at colleges all the time. A guy and a girl get hammered out of their minds, the girl goes back to the guy’s room, they both willingly have sex and the next morning, she’s full of regrets. Soon, he’s being accused of rape over a situation that was completely comparable for both people… but wait, I thought women could do anything men could do? I thought women and men were equals? How is it that both of them get drunk, both of them chose to have sex, but somehow, it’s just the guy who did something wrong?

Similarly, the same thing happens with environmental sexual harassment. Typically, a woman gets fired and next thing you know, she’s in a courtroom crying her eyes out over some sexist joke she laughed at or Tom from accounting having a bikini calendar on the wall. Men can hack that. If you’re really as good as a man, why can’t you?

They want “balance,” but also just as many female CEOS as male CEOS. They want more female generals but don’t want women to have to meet the same physical standards as men in the military. They want to say whatever is on their mind, but they get huffy if a man talks to them like an equal and then accuse him of “interrupting” or “mansplaining” to them. They want “innocent until proven guilty” if they’re accused of a crime, but “believe all women” if they accuse a man of something.

“I’m not just as good as a man, I’m better” or “I’m just a girl.” It all depends on what benefits feminists the most in any given situation.

5) Taking an adversarial relationship with men: Disliking the other sex is like the left hand refusing to cooperate with the right hand. There’s no upside to it because Yin and Yang are two parts of the whole and they work better together. Just consider how feminists have hurt women who want to get married, ironically by stacking the deck so heavily against men who get married.

Women file for roughly 70% of divorces and when they do, they’ve managed to rig the system to make it more likely they get the kids, get exorbitant child support that doesn’t have to be spent on the kid and the general idea is that they’re supposed to get HALF of what their husband worked his whole life for. That actually INCENTIVIZES women financially to file for divorce. Of course, this is part of the reason the number of marriages is close to an all-time low. If you’re a man, the overly feminized system we’ve created makes marriage a much bigger risk for you than it is for women:

Remember the #metoo movement, which basically treated men as “guilty until proven innocent” if women accused them of pretty much anything? Well, it did get rid of a few scumbags, but after it was abused and men realized it put them at risk whether they did anything wrong or not, again, there was a backlash that hurt women:

Being a misandrist is just as foolish as being a misogynist and increasingly, it’s creating a world where a lot of men don’t feel comfortable asking women out, opening doors for them, or sticking up for them at all.

Incidentally, that’s not a good thing. Women and men are both better off together than apart and splitting them off from each other just makes everyone more miserable, you know, like feminists always seem to be.
