| Progressive Democrat women have become suicidally evil and stupid |
| 2024-04-24 |
| What do you mean "become"? A friend pointed out something interesting to me: If you watch videos and look at still photos from pro-Hamas events on college campuses, what you notice is a preponderance of women. Perhaps because they are more photogenic. There are men there and even members of the gay and "trans" crowd, but it’s the women who are front and center, and who occupy most of the protest real estate. Their presence at these protests shows the catastrophic decline and fall of progressive women. Today’s progressive Democrats have their roots in the late 19th and early 20th century when socialism became the creed of white, upper-class American and British intellectuals. Among this group were women of true intellectual heft, [prob weren't getting many roots] and that’s true even though we can disdain their values (e.g., Crystal Eastman, Helen Keller, Jean Webster, Jane Addams, Annie Besant, Beatrice Webb, Vera Brittain, Winifred Holtby, and Harriot Stanton Blatch). They were well educated in the Western canon and Christian philosophy, and they retained those values and education even as they foolishly believed that socialism was the answer to the societal problems they saw. This kind of intellectual solidity continued with the first generation of hard-left post-WWII feminists, women such as Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Maya Angelou, Shirley Chisholm, and Simone de Beauvoir. No matter how badly one thinks of these women—and I do because [I'm a Oedipal misogynist, AND] their pernicious ideas have destroyed families, children, and society as a whole—they weren’t idiots. They were committed communists who effectively focused their knowledge and intelligence on the single goal of breaking down Western institutions. However, I suspect many of these women genuinely believed their efforts would not only give women greater rights within society, but actually improve women, giving them the opportunity to be better and smarter. Women would no longer be an appendage to men; they would be wise solons in their own right. But intentions don’t shape outcomes and that’s nowhere truer than when it comes to the fruits of the women’s movement. Unless they retain strong conservative goals, college breaks women: Research has broadly shown that women report worse rates of mental health compared to their male counterparts. This gender gap has become even more apparent among Gen Zers. Recent data from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, for example, show that young women deal with appreciably higher levels of stress and anxiety than their male counterparts. When college students were asked about how often they feel stressed, frustrated, or overwhelmed, more than three-quarters (77%) of all students reported feeling these feelings more than half of the time. A closer look found that 84% of women, compared to 66% of men [generally in a stupor from drunken debauchery] reported regularly feeling stressed and overwhelmed. This 18-percentage-point difference points to something larger going on with collegiate women. The gender gap continues across a host of additional mental health questions. While more than two-thirds of students (68%) reported feeling anxious more than half of the time, 77% of women, compared to 56% of men, reported feeling anxious this frequently. About 51% of female students said they feel lonely regularly, compared to 43% of male students. And 45% of female students feel depressed regularly, compared to one-third (33%) of male students. No wonder white, liberal women are disproportionately diagnosed with mental health problems. At present, we hear a lot about mental problems of trangendered: man who try to become women. Makes sense that women trying to become men (although in less drastic fashion) will have mental problems. |

| #8 William Howard Russell was a British reporter in the USA during the runup to and first years of our civil war. In "My Diary North and South", he noticed that the most extreme partisans, in both the North and South, were the women. |

| #7 Well of course. Women believe everything and everyone should conform to their notions of "what's right." They are big on "their truth," which seldom if ever aligns with the truth. |

| #6 To continue: "In a word, they’re neurotic. Well, let’s add some more words: They’re also paranoid, credulous, hysterical, and authoritarian. As George Orwell wrote of the women who embraced Big Brother’s progressive party line, “It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy.”" |

| #5 Its not just the "liberal" women. Part of the problem of mounting a "beyond the level of the steal" turnout for the 2020 and 2024 elections is that white women in general don't take these things seriously. They concern themselves with "civility" rather than civilization...i.e. the focus on "mean tweets". I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said "Make America Nice Again". How's that working out for everyone? There are plenty of women who have a "R" on their voter registration card who are going to pull the lever for Biden because they lack any understanding of where we truly are in the world. |
