5 Ways Feminism Has Ruined America

As a man, I wholeheartedly believe in equal pay and rights for women that can do just as good, if not even better, a job than a man can. Fair is fair of course. But, I do agree that feminism in itself has ruined our nation and the once great American Dream to an extent. I don't believe feminism was meant to be screw around with the natural order of things however. It seems like women are now raised to strongly believe they're required to wear the pants in all aspects of their lives and have only truly made something of themselves until they've accomplished an independent life not relying on men. I agree, to an extent, that all people should have a sense of purpose in life and not be complacent in expecting others to take care of them, but there's a natural balance to things in order for life to work smoothly. Men, unless they're a Doctor, Lawyer, Actor, or in some other six figure a year income career/job can no longer support a family comfortably like they could 50-60 years ago. Now, it takes two people, with two median incomes just to live "comfortably." That's sad. Relationships, have now adopted a 21st century stance in that if it's broken, just replace it - why try to fix it and be civilized/mature adults? Hell, we don't "need" them to survive and be happy. There's plenty of other fish in the sea, right? Another sad epidemic. The list goes on and on. As a man, I'm actually disgusted to be living in this day and age. Women have become such intolerable, greedy, relentless creatures in their pursuit of things and "stuff" that doesn't really make you happy at the end of the day, but instead, just gives you a false sense of satisfaction that you can get from eating chocolate. That's how I feel these days when I'm around women. Not like a respected male counterpart, but instead, just another chocolate bar with legs and.. you know what else. The roles have definitely flip-flopped.

Rabid Feminists and Feminazis like Sanctuary for Families headed by Dorchen Leidholdt have ruined America and its women by destroying good men and fathers and rewarding drug addicted alcoholic prostitutes who con gullible good men into marrying them and fathering their children, and then bankrupt and destroy those good men by first casually divorcing them falsely accusing them of domestic violence, extorting them in family court for child support and money for the rest of their lives, while dragging them to family court every 15 minutes to increase their extortionate child support payments until they are dead. What self-hating self-loathing insane lunatic man wants to get married anymore? What man beieves in chivalry, love, commitment, honor, or protecting a woman anymore?

Men are more productive than women, this is a fact look it up, so they should be paid more.

Feminism may not be perfect but it gave women the right to be paid fairly for doing the same work as men. It helped provide rights for pregnant working women. It opened doors to education. It helped pave the way for women to run companies, run for president and opened other doors. I must disagree with the authors of the book, I believe there is such a thing as a conservative feminist; that is probably where I would put myself. It is ridiculous to blame the changing male/female roles as the basis for all of the countries problems. Maybe we could be like Saudi Arabia and require permission and a male escort to travel, attend college, go anywhere....how would the women who wrote this book feel if that was their life. They would find it very restraining. They don't realize that some of the things they take for granted, are available to them because feminists or women's rights groups fought for those rights. No, I don't agree with all feminism but I don't throw the whole thing out either.

feminism is the worst thing that has happened to women, too few women realize that. Feminism has taken away the advantages of protection that women had before feminism, now women are used by men who never commit to them. http://feminismhurtswomen.blog.com/

Divorce - It's not worth the risk for a man. The woman can have her cake, half of your cake, and an alimony twinkie.

Hey LILYAN, we are talking about how feminists have ruined AMERICA not 3rd world countries & the rapes, trafficking of women & child abuse are largely contributed to by the "all wonderful world of feminism". Cruel & insane? Hmm, what's cruel & really insane is that those of us who would really like to be stay at home moms & housewives are made to feel inferior because we're not moms & career women. Not to mention trying to find an affordable house w/a 1 income family is damn near impossible. And it isn't "Aww, poor nice men.", its "Aww, men are forced to be damn near castrated in order not to offend a women.". If you all truly wanted to be equal, none of that kind of crap would be going on...you'd be EQUAL. Damn feminist morons! JC, you tell her! Abuse & suffering?! How about all those babies you feminists are in favor of slaughtering via abortion?

LILYAN get back to us when men have murdered 50 million babies (abortion) then we can talk about which sex abuses children more than the other.

Excellent, excellent, excellent article. Feminism has gone far beyond equal economic and social rights for women. Feminism has insidiously attempted to converge the sexes and emasculate men. This is why there are few REAL men left around.
