Suzanne Venker, writing at Fox News, makes a very sensible case for (another example of) what is wrong with modern feminism.
Feminists teach women, above all else, to stand up for themselves against the evil men of the world. Even harmless husbands fall into the category of ‘evil men’ since they supposedly long to lord over their wives. Thus, the knee-jerk reaction to the suggestion that a wife might serve her husband in some way—make him a drink or a meal—is to become defensive. Yet, if we turn the scenario around, if a husband were to serve his wife in any way, well, that’s acceptable.
The feminist worldview is antithetical to love because its focus is solely on women: their needs, their wants, their desires, and their rights. Love can’t possibly be sustained with an attitude like that.
There are “bad” men in the world (some wealthy white liberals come immediately to mind). But I’d argue that making lasting relationships impossible is precisely the point. The destruction of traditional marriage as a foundation of civilization aids in the advancement of government rights before individual rights or more specifically families who raise individuals with support systems other than the state.
