Do these movements threaten the family unit – and singles too: pseudo-feminism; and emasculated maleness?

Question

Mere movements, or conspiracies?

Pseudo/ post-feminism - my invented term. It claims that feminism is dead - but it uses the guise of feminism to further its sexist cause. On the surface, it seems to liberate women. But unlike true feminism, it doesn't promise equality. It's about unrestrained, escalating power - and a hidden agenda.

The emasculated male - every few years, it takes on a new name. There was the sensitive new age guy, the metro sexual, and now the EMO movement. Another bogus, hidden agenda that erodes our social fabric, dignity and worth.

Sub-question:

If you know of any good sources, links or societies that mirror my concerns, kindly list them or enlighten me about them. Anti-feminism, or conspiracy theory sources would do. No cut-and-paste jobs, please.

Note: I come here not to turn women and men against each other. Rather, I'm concerned about the conspiracies that are the real enemies that turn us into enemies, as singles and as families.

Answer 1

I agree with you. Why can't women be women and proud of it, men be men and proud of it, and celebrate our differences, rather than this continual reassessment of gender identities. Self expectation and social expectations have become so confused no-one really knows anything and it is killing society as a whole.

Answer 2

Guise? Hidden agenda? Conspiracies? Hey look over there, I think I see a ufo!

Look, it's called 'personal choice'. Throughout history, women have been subjugated by men in just about every culture. Now that individual muscle power is not of any great value, and violence against other individuals is pretty much illegal, the era in which these two traits gave males the advantage over females is over. Today, women in many cultures can choose whether or not they want to be subjugated by men -- and if they choose not to be, and to assert their own strengths and values, they may. It is not an anti-male choice but a pro-'me' choice.
The hope is that as the human race advances away from its adolescence and into adulthood, women of every culture, no exceptions, will be free to live a life of non-subjugation.

If, as a consequence of women becoming 'themselves' rather than what men envision women ought to be, men begin to feel threatened, well so be it.

What's that about "unrestrained, escalating power" of women? "Erodes our social fabric, dignity and worth"? Oh please. Now you're becoming shrill. Hysterical, even -- which used to be termed a womanly trait.

If a man has a problem with a woman doing as she pleases with her life, that's his problem, not hers. Likewise if I hated the fact that men should be allowed to display their traits -- good and bad -- then I'd be the one who was in need of counselling.

The fact is that human beings of both sexes can make choices. Where's the danger to society? Why would it somehow be 'better' if the members of one sex, who don't have equal rights, stop making choices for themselves, stop asking for equality and agree to devolve into social and economic subjugation?

Nobody's turning against anybody in my view. The world is changing. And those who do not want to change with it will be left behind. Darwinism wins again.

Answer 3

I have always believed these matters to be a conspiracy, together with equality, racialism, and so forth. It seems that whenever big business reaches saturation in a particular market, they either invent a war somewhere, or else come up with the latest 'disadvantaged' group of people.

Yet it goes deeper than this: Feminism, equality, homosexuality, lesbianism, single parent rights, abortionists, anti-this, anti-that, all have the same core purpose: to destroy the Family (as defined by God).

Once the Family is gone, the society will follow soon after, for society is built on Families. Britain and the West became great not because it worked harder, or because its population was smarter, but because the Christian ethics and Family structure it adhered to paved the way for lasting stability, respect, and hence prosperity.

We are told regularly that Humanism is the only way forward. I argue the converse: Humanism has brought nothing but misery and suffering. We are utterly incapable of managing ourselves. On each occasion we have turned from the belief in an authority higher than ourselves, we have entered into wars and the most hideous collective behaviour. Rape, murder, paedophilia, pornography, substance abuse, you name it, have all flourished under humanism. It is precisely because we have been seduced by human rights, (the 'me! me!' culture) rather than subscribing to human obligations and responsibilities that our society has degenerated so badly.

So corrupt have our morals become that we would rather watch groups of persons on television co-habitating and fornicating for a few weeks than spend proper time with our children teaching them the necessities of good citizenship and future responsibility. We would rather spend zillions on sports than on building morality. We are prepared to hold great, gushing concerts in support of the "poor in Africa" but seem quite indifferent to the elderly and the infirm, the sick and afflicted, here among our own people. And who benefits from all this? Certainly not you or I.

Give these arguments some thought, if you will, and prove me wrong. The West per se did not become supreme. It was those nations who took up Christian ethics that became World Class. Most of those nations just happened to be in the West. (There is a good reason for this co-incidence as well, but that is another argument for another time).

Simply put, if you turn from the Light, you walk into darkness. "Chose ye this day whom ye will serve!"

Answer 4

Hum! Conspiracy? Hidden agenda? You worry me. I thought it was genetic.

Glad to read you have no intention of interfering and make things worse. You would be wasting your time.Better go back to Freud and study psychological causes and effects.

This is a suggestion from a pseudo-enemy with no hidden agenda whatsoever, so I hope you do not feel emasculated.

Answer 5

Yes.

Answer 6

The answers are "yes" and your points are valid.
