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

Very soon a network of powerful bureaucracies was bringing radical doctrine to bear on all areas of government. The courts could be relied upon to extend their power by regulating contract and by extending the law of tort.pic.twitter.com/vAVYLBtMnW

Within a generation, the revolution had not only succeeded but also created throughout Western nations an occupying army of equal opportunity officers entrenched in personnel departments up and down the country.pic.twitter.com/11uhcxzsiC

And now we get to female quotas in the workplace!pic.twitter.com/Ii79aqLidx

There are of course some workspaces where women don’t demand too many rights. These areas are either where women graduates have no wish to go (rough outdoor work) or where lack of ability could lead to instant disaster, such as brain surgery or piloting commercial aircraft.pic.twitter.com/KPt9WuMJST

Colleges are a soft touch because the consequences of educational betrayal take decades to emerge. The effect of diversity quotas has been to fill humanities departments with women in order to equalize numbers “distorted” by STEM where even passably able women are hard to find.pic.twitter.com/1WhE2Jjcei

Many women in the humanities departments are indeed very able - I met one once - but many are not, and they have often prospered by setting up fanciful ideological courses (especially in women’s studies), which can hardly pretend to be academic at all.pic.twitter.com/81qABTH3G5

What of areas where women are patently unsuited: the army, police, firefighting? They have all been attacked because although women are unsuited to the rough work at the bottom, these areas have enviable managerial opportunities higher up. It’s one more irresistible gravy trainpic.twitter.com/N0Qy7luLJN

Fitness tests that women can’t pass are deemed discriminatory and therefore illegal. Standards are lowered. We don’t need barbarians rushing at the gate to topple our defenders. Women already did the job for them internally.pic.twitter.com/svt4KgKx6K

No one doubts the inferiority of women in physical strength and sport. No football team would think of fielding women against a first-class team of men. Yet Western govts, currently feeling unthreatened by any major power, are prepared to gamble their security on female warriors.pic.twitter.com/2V7CWkTfQm

“Hey anon, you say you believe in equal opportunities for women, but why are there no women in management, or as bishops, or as professors, or heads of big corporations? Why are women paid on average only x percent of what men get paid? I thought you loved me?”pic.twitter.com/ACHjdIjnfU

And as women dominate the universities they dominate the ruling ideology. Every moral judgement of what is left of what Western civ stands for has to pass through the all-pervasive strainer of female self-identity. All matters now put the promotion of women first & foremost.pic.twitter.com/HX4WDZQMTT

Imagine if the church was still an influence. Q’s are raised when female clergy enter. Jesus had only male disciples. Was God’s son then merely a creature of his own culture? Here we see how the entry of women changes entirely the conception of the activity and not for the betterpic.twitter.com/kY58FU1ipO

Indeed while women as individuals have often enhanced what they have joined, the entry of women in general has seldom done much for any area previously dominated by men - except, significantly, bureaucracy.pic.twitter.com/xZm8nSEZXT

The feminist program is to make society, the army, the colleges, corporations, everything, conform to an idea, and the women want to go where the men are, to be fully integrated so that when dirty and unfeminine jobs must be done, there are men to do them.pic.twitter.com/5Af0HKOFSS

Feminists once dreamt of setting up their own societies but then realised they needed to have men around. They wanted to be integrated. And this happened not because political wisdom declared it necessary, nor because electorates pushed for it, but was due to bureaucratic inertiapic.twitter.com/O4spPrdqJb

Let us now return to the question of why the male custodians of our civilisation sold the pass. There are many reasons. One must be cowardice: giving into women’s demands in the hope of a peaceful life. The cuckold husband stab in the back to all the great men who came before.pic.twitter.com/1jumiO2z5d

Our 20th C leaders were white, male, & middle class, and leftists have long been engaged in a campaign to erode the morale of each of these abstract categories. They denoted racism, sexism, and elitism respectively. Men found it difficult not to be written off as evil oppressors.pic.twitter.com/7OhLRYcBjR

Some men were supporters of liberal feminism and believed that radical feminism was merely a rather hysterical version of classical liberalism. Feminists were ok except for one or two angry lesbians!pic.twitter.com/SJlLyNKkWQ

Yet retreat is a notoriously difficult maneuver to control. Each concession can be used to demand further concessions in the name of consistency. Hence the appearance in all Western countries of legislation mandating equal opportunities—and who could possibly be against that?pic.twitter.com/0wUQUywWbC

Women took over the universities, public bodies, firms and, above all, the media. Hiring for status-giving jobs requiring degrees had become closely circumscribed by a set of rules. The dogma was that 50% of all jobs belonged to women, though the reality of quotas was long deniedpic.twitter.com/U6G1s3mlDZ

There are deeper currents too how men let this happen. One of them is that men tend to react to radical feminism with a high-minded feeling that nothing but justice, a notoriously fluid idea, should determine public policy. Men have a sense of fairness built into them.pic.twitter.com/1Yy3AAe43J

Cocooned from the immediate consequences of folly, and increasingly detached from any profound understanding of the culture that had produced them, the trusting trustees of our civilisation have utterly sold out their descendants.pic.twitter.com/1OeJlnrDnO

The big breasts of women, their deep eyes, vivacious curves and full lips - not to mention their shows of innocence and helplessness - all of these have been used as weapons to pull on men’s sense of responsibility and con them into handing over the keys to power.pic.twitter.com/0sg23sgVQs

Did you follow this thread just to gaze at the high-definition photographs of tradwives, insta thots, porn stars and e-girls? Then you are part of the problem. You are part of what made civilisation collapse. You made the woman in this photo possible.pic.twitter.com/zzBnJzgtDQ
