The Year Of Women’s Anger Will Only Escalate Unless Women Stop Pretending They’re Victims

UPDATE: Before reading the main article below, perhaps it would do well to first read this article about heroic women struggling with real oppression. These women are - unfortunately - not American women:

Women are the Key to the Iranian Uprising  "News out of Iran is scant since the defenders of the Islamic Republic blocked all social media, but that one woman whom the world saw take off her hijab and stand silently and defiantly has become the symbol of the latest freedom uprising there."This is fitting, because all of the convulsed history of modern Iran began with the shah’s attempts to grant rights to women. As I detail in my book The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran, on October 8, 1962, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi -- the Western-oriented shah of Iran, whose father, Reza Shah, had admired Kemal Ataturk and set Iran on a secular path -- granted women the right to vote in elections for local councils." . . .  Full article

"Feminists have abandoned reason for pathos; they fight for moral authority, not actual rights."

"Many in the media are celebrating 2017 as the Year of Women, or to be more precise, the Year of Women’s Anger, a backlash to 2016, also dubbed a year of anger—mainly that of populist, deplorable white men.

“ 'Anger seeks an object,” writer Sam Leith said in 2016. “It’s very Newtonian. There’s action and reaction, a divisive process which continues to accelerate division.” The only way to reset culture and stop this cycle, he says, is “some sort of slow-motion catastrophe.”

"We didn’t get that reset in 2017. We got more reaction, more anger, a backlash to the backlash, women pushing back against men, anger escalating into rage. While 2016 was seen as a great defeat to feminism—the “year the feminist bubble burst,” as Michelle Goldberg of Slate put it—2017 was the year liberal women blew a bigger, darker bubble.

"They came out in force with the Women’s March, protesting the election of Donald Trump and women’s so-called inequalities. Donning p-ssy hats, they took to the streets of America and across the globe to stand up for taxpayer-sponsored birth control, untaxed tampons, and the golden idol of feminism: abortion. They threw in pay equality for good measure, even though women already have it. What women really have is a wage gap, and that’s the result of their own free choices, not the oppression of the “patriarchy.”

. . . 

"Additionally, the “inequalities” she lists aren’t inequalities at all. They’re the same old list of faux fears feminists have had for years. It makes me yawn just reading them. They’re ineffective to bring about “change” because the “change” feminists want has already occurred. They have their rights, their birth control, their abortion, yadda yadda yadda.

"What they haven’t had is actual oppression and cruelty. This perpetual wound, this ongoing perceived wrong, is the driving force for power, and now they have it. Feminists want power, not equality, and it has been beyond their reach because they haven’t had this one essential ingredient to legitimize women’s victimhood and beat men into submission with male guilt." . . .
