A young person’s guide to the failure of feminism

A YOUNG woman, a sixth former, wrote to TCW asking what our main reasons are for opposing feminism. After pondering a smorgasbord of possibilities, I settled on the fallacious nature of feminism’s foundational myths. No good can come of an ideology built on lies.

The first fallacy is that there are no real differences between women and men in aptitude, interests, psychology nor motivation. Differences are socially and culturally constructed out of superficial physiological differences. This belief justifies endless measures to ensure that women are equally represented in every single area of desirable status or work.

The trouble is that while men and women are much more similar than different, there are differences. These differences matter, they shape who we are as men and women in significant ways.

The denial of these differences has made it difficult for young men and women to build relationships – women expect men to be like them and it creates disappointment when they respond in unpredictable, non-female ways.

It has meant that we teach children in schools that gender is a choice, and then we wonder at the numbers suffering from gender dysphoria. Another founding fallacy of feminism is that patriarchy is an oppressive, exploitative system created by men for their own advantage. This is a surprising interpretation of a system in which men were the ones who fought and were killed in battles, had the burden of supporting families and did the toughest, most gruelling work.

Actually our Western patriarchy was a system designed to serve and benefit women by tying men into work and the family. As patriarchy dissolves, it is not women who benefit but men who are freed – from the expectations to support a family and from sexual restraints as well.
