Young women are questioning the wisdom of their mothers - a reasonable and realistic process for any parent and child .It helps weed out the crap of the previous generation even if it creates more of its own
What the Western children see (esp as daughters who become Muslims or something else) is that the movement is mistaken - both in target and purpose .
"It doesn't work mum - you just come across as men haters. We want strong men, not the wimps you whip them into"
Now that so many more people celebrate their own victimhood , its becomes obvious that the perception is as big a handicap as any reality -a negative impression ; one that eats away at the proponent as well as any victims of real abuse. A projection that helps divert a woman's perception of herself and her limits onto undeserving others.
Feminism is failing for any number of reasons. Even that most famous of Fabians ( GB shaw ) admitted . just quietly, that he had to duck and weave to avoid all the sycophantic women in his movement who , in his own time , took their own plight too seriously and projected it onto others ( turning it into just another form of the disease of "poor me victimhood " of the 20th century )
The fanaticism of the femmes for more forcefulness is more and more evident as the Emily's list types lose their power over the argument and their daughters.
"It doesn't work mum - you just come across as men haters. We want strong men , not the wimps you want to whip them into". Go girls .
