Great quotes

"Women's ill gained privileges will be short-lived. At the end of the day they'll still be scratching their heads over how they can juggle two jobs: work and raising their children. Fundamental assumptions have changed, one of them being whom the children "belong" to. Since they are no longer the father's, what is left to motivate disfranchised men to be productive? And when only women are productive, while men's motivation and productivity gradually wanes, how long before all these countries fall into utter disarray?

Women can no more win in the long run than one can "win" a battle against entropy. Even brainwashing men will make little difference. All the propaganda in the world cannot overcome the biological feedback mechanism."

Antiriad, on the 'Niceguys' forum

and...

"It would be great if it was possible for women to live like men and help take the burden of work off of men's back, but women's modern role in the workplace has become a Potemkin's village with massive social support systems disguising the reality that these women are not equal and not making a net contribution as men do. Add up the costs of welfare, affirmative action, "child" support, sexual harassment legislation, divorce trauma, suburban sprawl, daycare, higher taxes, etc. and it's clear that the "equal pay" women bring home is MORE THAN offset by the higher costs to EVERYONE."

Polish Knight

Anonymous said...: Decay into chaos is perhaps the best we can hope for. I think this may be a minority view but it is one shared by a quite a few. But if this decay is the best we can hope for then we need to truly embrace it. So rejoice when the chaos swells up. If crime and disorder flourish then so much the better.; 10:11 am

Turn of the tide: feminists begin to regret

Cosmopolitan (The women's magazine that urges women to use men for sex) Editor Lorraine Candy has a change of mind and now urges women not to have "Soul-less sex":

"We didn't feel ashamed about one-night stands...this, we thought, is what feminism is about."

70s feminist Fay Weldon now says:

"It is the fault of me and my like, who... got it wrong.

So were we wrong, we feminists, setting women free? The results have been devastating – greater than we ever imagined.

We steamed ahead, changing the world with too little caution, and I hope the future will forgive us.

The pendulum has swung too far over. But it may yet swing back again. Societies, thank God, tend to be self-righting."

"Once a man could look forward to starting a family and the dignity that came from being the provider. Forget it. At best as a man you're decorative, look after the kids and earn a bit sometimes; at worst you're a write-off. Women are elbowing the men out. The boys get anxious, the girls swagger. The male suicide rate goes up, female down. Twenty-eight per cent of us now live in single person households - a lonely and unnatural state - and most of the 28 per cent consist of young men. It is strange that it is left to a woman to suggest, in the normal nurturing way, that men start some kind of movement to promote their gender's status and self-esteem - call it masculinism, brotherism, machoism, what you want - and some mark of the success of the feminist movement, that it needs to be done."

60's feminist Doris Lessing now says:

"It is time we began to ask who are these women who continually rubbish men. The most stupid, ill-educated and nasty woman can rubbish the nicest, kindest and most intelligent man and no one protests.

Men seem to be so cowed that they can't fight back, and it is time they did."

An excerpt from an interview with Joan Rivers:

"She's not with the feminists when it comes to matters of the heart. For her, they're to blame for the current parlous state of our relationships, as depicted in these television Shows (Such as Sex in the city) and films. "I saw this coming. You cannot be equal to a man, you cannot make a man feel 'I don't need you' or 'I'll take my sex when I want it'. All these shows are so sad."

Camille Paglia :

"Women have been discouraged from genres such as sculpture that require studio training or expensive materials.

But in philosophy, mathematics, and poetry, the only materials are pen and paper.

Male conspiracy cannot explain ALL female failures.

I am convinced that, even without restrictions, there still would have been no female Pascal, Milton, or Kant.

. . . Even now, with all vocations open, I marvel at the rarity of the woman driven by artistic or intellectual obsession, that self-mutilating derangement of social relationship which, in its alternate forms of crime and ideation, is the disgrace and glory of the human species."
