How far modern feminism has fallen from it's wonderful beginnings

-

I was recently walking around London and came across a statue, I've often walked passed on Charing Cross road near Leicester Square. The statue is of Edith Cavell somebody I know little about.

Edith Cavell was a nurse during World War 1 who was celebrated for treating injured soldiers on both sides of the conflict without discrimination. She was fiercely brave and helped 200 servicemen escape occupied Belgium and return to Britain.

She was caught by the Germans and executed for failing to observe medical neutrality. The night before her execution this brave woman said "Patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone".

This is 180 dgerees opposite to the toxic feminism that we currently see in any female space.

The absolute glee which fourth wave feminists seem to take in active, bigotred, transphobia is completely unsuprising when you see how sexist & prejudiced modern feminism has become. In my view, it is no longer about equal rights. It has become gender facism with only one gender being fully pure. 

I used to wear the t-shirt "This is what a feminist looks like" but there's no way I could wear that now. Feminism is sick, it's lost it's way, it's prejudiced and has now become a hate ideology with more similarity to extremists like Islamic State rather than egalitarianism and equal rights.

It is absolutely consistent with the rise of Trump in the USA, the rise of populism in Europem with Farage in the UK and Geert Wilders in The Netherlands. Feminism itself has become more authoritarian and lost it's tolerance and it's basic foundations of egalatarinism and freedom for all. I go further that modern feminism is a traitor to the noble causes set up by these women at the turn of the 20th century and is absolutely perverse to what these women wanted. If you want to see what feminism is going to look like in 20 years then simply look where it started and simply observe today and extrepolate that decline by another 20%. Feminism today would now be completely unrecognisable to the noble movement that brave women such as Edith Cavell and Elizabeth Parker started.

    It's a bit of a stretch to say that the Suffragettes were noble. They were terrorists, and this is acknowledged by the UK government. Feminism was never about equal rights, because with rights come responsibilities, and women have been exempted from those commensurate responsibilities, as is the wish of almost every woman. Feminism is about power without accountability.

The myth of women doing the majority of housework

-

This is often trotted out in female spaces with depressing regularity. You can see it here , here and here  and any search of any feminist space will bring out the "Men expect women to do all the housework" trope. There are even studies on this which, on the surface, would seem to confirm that women do more housework than men.  Digging into these studies and it becomes quickly apparent they are extremely skewed and don't provide a very thorough picture. Measuring all household work There are two main methods used to measure household work done. The first is a survey, where you simply ask what chores people do, assign time to them and from that you find who is doing the most. This has the benefit that it's less intrusive, you can do a 30min survey and get your data, but you lack accuracy. A more intrusive, but more accurate method, is to keep a time diary. That is people note down what they are doing and from that you tot up the time on housework. The problem with th...

The oppressed can't be the oppresor - why feminists accept sexism in their spaces

-

In any feminist space you will find misandry, quickly and easily. Whenever feminists are asked about the sexism in their spaces, or movement, they generally reply by disputing that misandry exists, minimising it's effects or with whatboutism stating that male misogyny effects women far worse. The huge problem with this is that feminism has already accepted sexism at it's core. It sees sexism everywhere and because of this has now accepted sexism.Misandric comments, ideas, man hating are all  absolutely rife in feminist spaces . Claiming that misandry is fine because the oppressed can never be the oppressor is not borne out by history which tells us a very, very different story. Oppressed people, who accept prejudice to their oppresor have a strong tradition of repeating their oppression in an even worse way. If you look at the actions of Israel in Palestine then you can see, very clearly, how an oppressed people (the Jews in World War 2) really are very, very capable of being ...
