New Wave Feminism tried to stand on the shoulders of its older sisters but only just barely. It has been a while since it was about bringing home the bacon and frying it up in a pan. These days, it is more focused on “weaponizing their own unhappiness and turning it into an activist movement.”
It is for this reason that modern feminism is often accused of being an ideological cult for narcissists. Everything about it seems to be designed to elevate and appeal to the worst kinds of people. Not only that, but the belief system is now so pervasive in western countries, especially among the college educated, that 60% of women say they identify and agree with the “common definition” of feminism, even though the common definition does not match the behavior and motives of most feminists.
More like that from Zerohedge here (on men leaving the US in search of women who share their values), but that’s just my opening Salvo to a finer point. Western feminism has evolved from equal rights to accusations of benevolent sexism (attacking men for being gentlemen) to outright rage and resentment,
A friend who took the course with me felt the same way. “If all else fails,” she would groan as we walked out of class together, “blame it on patriarchy.” She was a convinced atheist and I was a churchgoing Christian, but we agreed that the theories we were learning did not address our most pressing questions and concerns.
If it excludes trans women, it is not feminism!!!

…celebrating men who deny women opportunity or success. Women’s Liberation has evolved into man-hating women applauding the patriarchy for infiltrating and undermining women.

Low Hanging…Fruit.
Will Thomas (doing business as ‘Lia’), the C-team men’s swimmer who is still attracted to women, put on a one-piece, planted a flag in the feminine gene pool, and proceeded to take success, accolades, and opportunities from actual women – with the blessing and support of the woke patriarchy and feminists (excluding the TERFs).
Celebrating his womanhood has turned Dylan Mulvaney into a millionaire – money and opportunity stolen from penis-less women celebrating legitimate womanhood. And again, the elite’s golf clap and whisper to each other about how wonderful it is that men are rising to the top as “women” while raging against anyone who defends real women from men who have infiltrated their ranks and deprived them of things Feminists have been squawking about for decades.
At the other extreme, and I’m not saying there’s no Venn diagram overlap, there are ‘feminists’ who claim milking a cow is sexual assault.
A paper currently being promoted by a New York university calls on society to consider the rampant “sexual exploitation” of dairy cows by the milk industry in order to “fully fight gendered oppression.” Specifically, the author compares cattle insemination to “rape” and the milking of cows to “sexual abuse.”
The end of Western civilization can’t be far behind that sort of thinking (that was 2019), but now a group that was formed as a result of something Trump said but Biden did – the former (lockerroom talk by a Republican) and the latter (rape by Joe Biden). The Women’s March never had much to say about the latter. Still, they’ve got time to tweet support for men who have not only deprived women of victory or income but continue to integrate into safe spaces where actual sexual assault has become customary (women’s prisons, for example).
Saying the inmates are running the asylum would be ironic and an understatement. And while the prison girls would like to march in protest, that would mean stepping on the hairy toes of the sisterhood of the traveling penis, and even female inmates may want to stay away from that sort of trouble—a new next “NEXT” generation of feminism controlled by men.
Femasculism.
