I appreciate this compendium you made and knowing that my ideas contributed to crystallizing some of these things. I appreciate the sort of intellectual triangulation you, Nathalie and I seem to have had going for some time. And I think you’re spot on, as ever.

I'm amazed at our feedback loop that helps deepen thinking on this topic, and how it encourages to keep sharing despite potential hostile pushback.

Lots of good stuff here. Nothing solved; lots to ponder. The best thoughts can be applied to every “victim” inanity: things earned, despite time, suffering, and effort, tend to “stick” a bit and move us all forward. Thanks!

Thanks for the great work putting this together!

Check out Orwell's "Politics and the English Language" to see how this sort of thing works. He mentions "Equality" as one of those words that has come to mean "Goodness" in public but translates to whatever personal ideological dreams the speaker's political tribe believes in, in private.

In my country there was this a month ago:

https://www.expats.cz/czech-news/article/czechia-s-population-now-highest-since-end-of-world-war-ii

"The fertility rate also fell to an estimated 1.37 children per woman, 0.1 lower than the previous year. ....Despite the gains from migration, the Czech Republic continues to face long-term demographic challenges driven by persistently low birth rates and an aging population. "

And then a couple weeks later, the EU told the national government very firmly that it needs to significantly reduce men's labor force participation rate:

https://www.expats.cz/czech-news/article/how-czechia-s-new-pay-transparency-laws-will-reshape-the-labor-market

"Companies with over 100 employees must report wage data to a central system, and the pay gap between men and women should not exceed 5 percent. However, the gender pay gap in the Czech Republic is around 17 percent."

A lower men's labor force participation rate is well documented to reduce a country's fertility!

Clown world....

And that's not even the worst of it. It is straightforward to see how these policies contribute to increased mortality rates across the board from adults to children from societal breakdown:

Good post, but I wish it was a lot more structured and didn't dedicate any space to 'general dunks' outside of what the text was currently discussing.

Well then, you can always put out a post yourself with all the improvements you've outlined.

What an excellent compilation of different ideas on toxic feminism. I really appreciate how you've built a story with the mashup from different articles. Thank you James!

It is clear that women have been hyper-empowered and been meritless advanced and place in nearly every aspect of society, State, Corporations, imported far beyond rationality, safety, and prudence.

".. We all acknowledge that men have certain negative social tendencies (aggression, impulsivity, promiscuity, antisocial tendencies, narcissism) and certain shortcomings (no one is angling to have more male nannies or kindergarten teachers or nurses). Women are more nurturing, conscientious, empathic, and prudent (or cautious, if you like). Yet we all must pretend that women don’t have any shortcomings, and that men don’t possess their own social strengths. .."

The increasingly Feminized and insanities that we are forced (often from crib) to accept as normal or even praiseworthy such as mothers hiring sociopathic, increasingly amorally and evil spreading Presence on Earth to torture our unborn children to death while they silently scream and so many and increasing insanities and evil which most everyone in West and most other societies would have defined as insane and from the powerful Synagogue of Satan members and minions, and that Witches and Demonic Possessions clearly exist and had existed despite their minions assertations that the Witch trials and hangings were 'crazy and amoral and ..' and this argument from people that support, perform, and-or desire and have such horrors done to us and our babies and themselves, family, and society, Justice, Truth, good-order, Love, Joy, Hope, Life, Futures and Faith, with Contempt and murder of God in His Blessings made in His Image.

I have started on a radical proposal that I hope will draw some attention to these and other issues that are part of the clear insanities and horrors that are now accepted with no limits on future levels of Hell we can expect. Feedback and suggestions please; (hold on to something stable)

There is a far better definition of feminism that comes from feminists themselves. It is women organising and acting in the interests of women.
