Just as the vast majority of leftists have very little understanding of the beliefs they hold, Trudeau has scant understanding of Feminism as a social and political movement. The fact is that feminism has wrought destruction in America, and by extension, our friends to the North.

There is such a thing as a biological imperative, which feminism seeks to minimize and even destroy. Feminism has severely damaged traditional male-female relationships – to the point that many men live in fear of even approaching women (emasculation) for fear of being accused of harassment, chauvinism or worse. Conversely, casual sex, so readily available today, has done nothing to motivate boys and males to take relationships seriously enough to develop the skills necessary to improve their self-worth, which is requisite to the creation of an enduring marriage or relationship – in other words, it has stifled the ability of these males to become men. This has led to much frustration and unhappiness between the sexes, particularly for the younger generations. Feminism has also greatly undermined parenting ability, to the point where more kids are in daycare, where discipline is extremely lax, which in turn has resulted in an epidemic of rotten children, obesity, bullying and more kids on medication than ever before.

Ostensibly, feminists would have you believe that women are and continue to be oppressed. Since few people favor oppression, their claims seem reasonable. Consider, however, that feminism in and of itself, is an oxymoron – it’s a false argument. They use classic Marxist terminology to argue that natural gender roles are a social construct – that the only reason there are any differences at all between the sexes is due to an artificially generated set of norms, mores and behaviors. They view the very classification of ‘woman,’ ‘female,’ or ‘girl’ as oppressive, but if such is the case, then the logical end goal of feminism would be the complete elimination of gender altogether; however, all but the most rabid among the feminists, would favor androgyny over gender.

Feminists view their position in society as a result of brute biological facts, but what they fail to understand is that if this is indeed the case, that if the “inequalities” between the sexes are due to differences either of values or innate ability, then cultural change and social policy will do nothing to achieve their goals. Reality and facts greatly diminish the extent to which feminism as a social and political movement can challenge gender roles. But these facts lead towards conclusions that feminists will never admit or accept.

The problem is that women like being women and they view their gender as a positive aspect of their identity, but they want to be able to pick and choose when “socially constructed” gender roles cause social ills, and this is one of the main reasons the liberal agenda is pushing so hard for transgenderism, gay-rights, androgynous bathrooms/locker rooms, gay marriage, ad nauseam, which the American Public, has overwhelmingly rejected. Feminism is steeped in Marxism and the liberal agenda and I, for one, have no interest in submitting to such fascism.

This is a fine post. Succinctly explained.
