Minogue believes the reason for this change was boredom. The malaise of privileged women due to “a slow death of the mind and spirit.” Feminism was born of boredom, not oppression. The solution? Women clamoured to become wage-slaves; they resolutely fled the challenge of leisure.pic.twitter.com/6K0aDl4TCH
This is important and we will come back to this: what is meant by leisure? To the Ancient Greeks and Romans it meant higher employment of the mind once the necessities of life have been dealt with. Remember this. It’s one of the crucial differences between the sexes.pic.twitter.com/TYpsuKAL8h
Women need to be radicalised and have their indignation and moral righteousness exploited to turn them into effective 5th columnists. Feminists turned the home into prison, work slavery into happy liberation, and husbands and fathers as the oppressors who confined them.pic.twitter.com/DfOYy3dkAU
What radical feminism essentially did was to deny complementarity between the sexes and set men and women up as competing teams playing exactly the same game, but a game in which all the rules were stacked against the women.pic.twitter.com/bj1zdxcAoa
It’s only on this eccentric assumption - that women have identical talents and inclinations to men - that they can support the conclusion that there has been foul play. The basic principle is one of flattery: “Women are uniquely talented goddesses who have been suppressed by men”pic.twitter.com/ye8CevjuNM
Feminism is fundamental. It means that all judgements must stem from identity as a woman or as an oppressor of women. There’s no nuance. In WW2 Rosie the Riveter was a woman, but she was also a wife, a patriotic American and many other things too. Now she’s just a sacred woman.pic.twitter.com/Gw1scvlFjL
Feminism is not only an attempt to destroy an existing power structure, but also the civilisation it sustains. It is an attack from within that exploits certain features of our civilisation: our civilisation that was built by the achievements of white males - and only white malespic.twitter.com/WsOyTBuaV9
Civilisation is a succession of clever men developing the set of traditions or inventing the benefits which constitute where we are today. And from Thales and Euclid to Edison and Bronze Age Pervert, very very nearly all of them were male. Thank you dead white men!pic.twitter.com/5LlWICFq5z
“What about Chinese philosophers? What about Arabic mathematicians?” Shush. I am discussing primarily western civilisation here, which anyway is the civilisation that has contributed the bulk to our modern global and homogenised nascent world civilisation.pic.twitter.com/t9LuK75VV9
Men create all civilisation, though of course it is true that without the medium of social/political life none of this could have happened. Like all social life, Europe was a world of sexual complementarity, and there’s no way of sifting out what was contributory from what wasn’tpic.twitter.com/w1JcipyFL2
But of women we may say what Falstaff said of himself - namely that he not only had wit but also was a cause of wit in others. Women may say it isn’t fair to judge on these qualities, but by setting women up as a weak team in relation to inventive men, that’s the game they’ve setpic.twitter.com/sQIL8Cvfr4
It’s in pursuit of this mistake that they’ve attempted to set up a competing set of writers, philosophers, painters, etc whose talents were suppressed by the patriarchy. These resuscitated figures are often worth looking at in their own terms, but they cannot serve as a new canonpic.twitter.com/uAv7taVJY5
For centuries women have determined the way we live. Radical feminist doctrine is that this is not enough: women can only be recognized as equal, and enjoy equality of esteem with men, if they are recognized as excelling in exactly the same activities as men.pic.twitter.com/ujBmXpQ7O9
Women must, as a team, be able to point to a scoreboard of artistic and technological achievements on the same scale as men. Feminist tribal consciousness depends upon this. But it just isn’t there. Anyone is is really honest and truthful knows it isn’t there.pic.twitter.com/UO6PRSrGb9
This whole charade depends upon the fallacy that women are the same as men & their happiness is found in the same areas as men. But this is untrue: it’s a mistake that could only have occurred to women who have been deranged by superficial contact with education in the humanitiespic.twitter.com/ETiBA5yZ4t
(I know this is a long and meandering thread but I promise it’s all going to make sense by the end. We’re getting to the collapse. In the meantime, do enjoy the tits.)pic.twitter.com/tcuiF22ZYS
Western civilisation is unusually open compared to others. At various times in the past many women have had access to education. From the 18th century onwards some women developed a taste for taking up professions restricted to men. By the 19th century they were in the colleges.pic.twitter.com/DtkPO0BoQa
In doing so, they often suffered a certain derision from the more brutish among their male confrères. Other men were always on their side, however, and during the first half of the twentieth century women broke into many fields previously restricted by convention. Thanks betas.pic.twitter.com/BLmsB1Bw2V
The openness of Western culture is shown by how many women were enjoying higher education and finding distinction in professional fields as we entered the 20th century. In India widows were still being thrown on funeral pyres and in China women’s feet were still bound.pic.twitter.com/A1gDG9h2tp
The numbers of women who largely devoted their lives to these fields was relatively small, and some people thought this was a problem, but it was only a problem for those who took their bearings from statistics rather than from the responses of actual people.pic.twitter.com/rP0tRBkMri
The key to modern Western civilisation is its openness to talent wherever found. This is the left’s own propaganda: America is special because it welcomes and uses all. Talented women were never shut outside, just as talented Nazi rocket scientists and Indian coders aren’t eitherpic.twitter.com/Y2txCYcVx7
Once women enter a field, especially combined with relativism, the protectors of a status quo have no weapon to stop the advance. Women have always demanded what they want, and that continues when they enter workplaces and electorates.pic.twitter.com/kZlM55RJEQ
Our previous boomer elites acquiesced that all moral and religious ideas on gender were merely subjective. They could not agree on a defense, and the attack often came from within their own families. The goal of the attack was to get women into the higher ranks of the workplace.pic.twitter.com/zv60E90tRn
In earlier times women didn’t want to work. The world of work outside the cosy hearth was hardly inviting. Farming required relentless physical input beyond the strength of most women; nor did many express a wish to exercise the broadsword.pic.twitter.com/kyn3enYxRW
Today? Getting women to work isn’t hard since the thing called “work” is now largely done in centrally heated offices in front of a PC with a nice chair & other women. In the push-button world men have created, physical strength is never needed, especially in more attractive jobspic.twitter.com/Hm4WC5AC1O
Work had been the curse of Adam, parallel with childbirth as the curse of Eve, but work is now a rather agreeable shuffling of symbols in an office full of friendship and event. Very little work happens in female-dominated workplaces: it’s just endless drama and snacking.pic.twitter.com/J1ddqe6qRf
It is not difficult to present this kind of work—the kind that interested the humanities graduates who largely fuelled the radical movement—as a liberation from the confinement of family life and the tedious babble of the toddler.pic.twitter.com/jVgFu4XVe6
This also fits the socialist view that a person’s value is their contribution to the welfare of others. Leftists have long dreamt of absorbing the family into society: everyone living communally, women working alongside men. The final achievement of justice against oppression.pic.twitter.com/Cu6rcOWfI4
How did the feminist revolution succeed? Don’t kid yourselves that it didn’t. You live in a matriarchy now. But before men held most of the cards and still lost. How? What happened?pic.twitter.com/G4yhhMuUgW
It’s the evils of democracy. It’s the result of not believing in a moral code. It’s of opening the door a little and assuming it won’t be booted wide. It’s also due to men’s biology who are built to protect women and are prone to their manipulation. Enjoying the girl photos?pic.twitter.com/eKg85FVK1z
A small group campaigning for benefits will always prevail against a large majority whose direct interests are but marginally affected. Feminists were a small group, but their message rang at some level to most women, & most men had wives/daughters whose good they wished to help.pic.twitter.com/epToHxkNPi
No political party ever took up all of th Feminist program, but it did electoral prospects no harm to convey a general sympathy for the cause, and once in government enthusiasts would advance legislation under the motherhood slogan of equal opportunity.pic.twitter.com/HOQstaXEdW
