Liberation loses its value when it teaches women to reject what they secretly wanted.

Contempt for men was sold as strength, then collected its bill in loneliness.

Independence isn't freedom if it leaves you dining alone against your will.
BRIEFING
Grant here. We've all seen plenty of negative repurcussions from feminism, but probably the most devastating one is loneliness. It's a human and raw emotion, and a recent essay by writer Kate Mulvey really highlights the long-term consequences of so-called "independence." Let’s break it down.
The article is titled “I regret belittling men; at 63, I’ve ended up alone,” and that line is truly the crux of the entire story. Mulvey isn't writing as some dreamy-eyed teenager who just discovered feminism on TikTok. She's writing as a 63-year-old woman who's looking back on the life she built, the men she pushed away, and the family she once imagined but never achieved.
As Mulvey states, “I had always imagined I would end up married with two wonderful children and living in a house in the countryside.” And that line is where fantasy meets reality. Because throughout the piece, despite Mulvey wanting a partner, family, and legacy, she repeatedly puts men beneath her and prioritizes her career advancement above all else.
She goes on to say in her piece that “Men have called me ‘intimidating’, ‘scary’, and ‘opinionated’. I now see that not only was I trying to prove I was their intellectual equal, or superior, I was treating every encounter with a man like he was my adversary.”
And that right there is the real push-pull dynamic that feminism is forcing on women nowadays. It's like women are in this constant state of proving themselves, but as a result, they're losing their feminine energy, which is strong and amazing on its own.
The piece is definitely an interesting insight into not only how feminism is reprogramming women but also seeing it through the eyes of someone who's actually lived through it and is now carrying serious regrets.
As Mulvey says, “I have paid a hefty price for my so-called liberation.”

DEBRIEFING
With this piece you get to read through a lot of Mulvey's life, her thought process, regrets, etc. But that final slide could be the most interesting one.
She states that she will never be a “giggly man-pleaser” and has no intention of playing second fiddle to a man. But then she admits that so-called "confidence" she portrayed for years didn't actually match what was going on inside, which is so on-point and brutally honest. She was simply posturing, trying with every fiber of her being to look strong from the outside, but inside, something clearly wasn't working.
Mulvey is actually one of the rare feminists who's actually made mistakes, admitted to them, and is working to learn through them. Which is incredibly refreshing.
I don't think anyone would say she's 100% recovered from her extreme feminist ways, but she seems to be beginning to separate confidence from control. She's realizing that love isn't able to breathe when every moment has to bend towards self-satisfaction.
And once more women (or feminists) realize this, that's when we all begin to heal.
NOW YOU KNOW
Winning every power struggle isn't the same thing as building a life.

In the end, one finds that the only important thing is watching your children and grandchildren carrying on for you, Without them, you are the end of the line.
She and millions more mucked around with the operating system of the human race and the reward is an empty existence.
Amen. I’m single and 73. Never married, and never felt alone until a few years back when I realized that grandkids and watching them grow through their parent was pretty much the only enjoyment for old folks like me. Everything else I might do just doesn’t have the edge it once did.
Oh well, live and learn, even when you can’t correct it.
For years the feminist mantra was “I don’t need no man.” So fine, you get old alone.
It was even worse: “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.”
Nasty, bitter wenches.
Ah, Fantasy fauns but REALITY bites…
I hope she’s saved a lot of money because when/if she gets a chronic illness that severely negatively impacts her ability to get around and function in the world, she’ll be looking to move to Canada for their MAID service. Sad. Very sad. Welcome to the world of men.
Feminists have never understood what a man is. We aren’t acting. We aren’t trying to be tough. Women ” demand” equality- ok, go ahead- you can start being ” equal” any time. Start paving the roads, mining the ore, building the skyscrapers, roofing the houses, inventing everything, etc. No one is stopping you from being “equal”. We aren’t ” scared” or ” intimidated” by you because you know Italian. Women think memorizing is intelligence- no, that’s what a parrot does. Logic and critical analysis is intelligence.
A man is a testosterone, logical, steady hand. The buck stops with him. A women can never be that. Watch a lion pride- watch how instinctively those lions all understand the male is in charge.
Feminists LARP they are men. Okay- go work 60 years, without so much as a thank you. The money you earn is to provide, not ” shopping and bistros”. If you are lucky- you get a beer while you let your blood and sweat dry.
Btw- I raise my son by myself. I get nothing in child support- because my sons mom is only a woman, and she can’t even provide for herself.
Ive never understood women complaining about having to spend time with their own children. I come home from a 12 hour day and the first thing I do is start dinner and dishes while laughing and talking with my son about his day.
The modern woman is trash.Feminism has destroyed them
” … I raise my son by myself…”
“raised”…the word is “raiseD”
Sorry, you pompous fool. He’s using “raise” (i.e. the present tense) because he is presently raising his son. If his son has been fully raised already that would be where he would use the word “raiseD”
He did not state the child’s age.
Grammar and words actually mean things. It’s called context. What part of present tense requires a numerical age descriptor? LOL
you reap what you sow
Trust me- as a 66 year old man. I’ve seen this scenario play out many times. I have an ex that fits this to the tee. She still swears she loves being alone- but her face and drinking tell another story. It’s really so stupid because the most successful women understand that approaching a man as another man is a loser always. Women that understand that yield way more power than the confrontation gal.
“Kate” must be short for “KAREN”. Loneliness will be her curse and hopefully all the others will find the same prize for their selfish bitterness.
Reads like a very self-conscious, semi-revealing pseudo-confession, justifying herself and her unhappiness to her book club circle.
She doesn’t reject her feminism, just semi-regrets that she doesn’t have a man to take care of her in her old age.
She’s still full of herself and unwilling to accept reality/nature and be a woman.
She’s 63 and ready to date men! Yeah, sure that’ll work out great!
How much you wanna bet she’s got 3 (at least) cats crawling all over her empty wine bottles and SSRI pill collection?
Gloria Steinem, of “A Woman Needs A Man Like a Fish Needs A Bicycle” fame, married her husband, David Bale in 2000. Sadly, he passed away in 2003. Many women felt her marriage was a betrayal of the movement. I wonder how many women out there are also feeling the same regret.
Maybe that dark skinned Supreme Court Jester who doesn’t know what a woman is has a multitude of soul sistas after all. Not knowing where you fit within the culture that sustains you must be a daily headache.
Feminism was the most destructive insidious ideology ever introduced to humanity
She did liberate herself. Liberated from the things that yield happiness. Children, grandchildren. The joy of achieving real immortality by having your essence continue on forever through your offspring. Mucked around with the hardwired drive of humanity. She earned her misery.
To believe she’s going to change is delusional. Just because she’s now able to define her obnoxious personal habits doesn’t mean she going to “turn about”, which is effect she’s admitting.
I’ve met women like her and when they pull their adversarial “I’m smarter than you” clabber with me it doesn’t fare so well, then you see their true character.
These are women with negative character traits that are genetic in origin, and they embrace philosophies that enhance those characteristics.
Her future? She’s in her 60’s and will not attract younger men and older men are being pursued by younger women. Her character is set it stone. She may moderate some of her obnoxious habits but she will not change and will die alone…. deservedly!
This broad would have lasted 5 minutes with me. As soon as she started with the superior feminine “I Am Woman” crap I would have put her in her place and told her how boring she really is. Guys with a professional vent, such as myself, don’t want a competitor but a mate, and one that can be :giggly, feminine, act like a lady and show a softer side. And yet still possess a professional life and be a self made woman, such as my partner. And they love a man who has the masculine approach as well, don’t kid yourself. I met my partner while traveling for business as I was separated from my ex wife in 2005 and even though we had ups and downs and geographical separations, we supported each other and enjoyed each others company which is key. Ultimately I sold my home in Southern New Jersey and moved to her place in early 2021 in Lehigh Valley Pa which greatly enhanced our financial standing. I pretty much became semi retired from Consumer Banking, namely Mortgage Operations at 60, due to the Biden economy in 2022 and she was labeled disabled due to 33 years on her feet and an overnight High Risk Pregnancy nurse ( not totally debilitating but she cannot work 12 hour shifts now) But we love our life and crave the companionship The last 5 years has shown us we are more compatible than ever. This so called liberated chick is past her prime, she’s haggard, not attractive ( I take it British?) and extremely boring and predictable. Oh but she speaks Italian and can order a meal of meat with a bone in it in Italian. So can my mother, who at 98 is a real woman who had 6 kids and not like this self servicing cretin. At 63 the game is over, every 10 years past 40 when a woman stays single in search of a guy they lose exponentially more and more candidates for mating, it’s just a fact. At a rate of 20% per decade. Do the math, she either settles for anything or dies alone. And based on her attitude she better settle for a way of self application for love and affection or settle for anything with a pulse, because her days of turning heads is way over. In any language.

Not a word about the so called “man” that lets these kind of women dominate and “ware the pants in the family.”
There is some truth to that, but I have dealt with a woman like that, and she never capitulated or stand down on anything. At some point, the guy ends up deciding she isn’t worth it, and that she is the opposite of what he wants.
to bear a child from your womb is a most precious and sublime gift – it is holding hands with the Father in Creation of a new soul, And your man – father of the child – is appointed by the Almighty to protect and provide for your family.
I agree with you. However, since over 75% of Americans are not active in any religion, this argument won’t win the day within our country. To win the argument, we have to argue on a secular basis. To think that your argument will win unfortunately has turned into virtue signalling and won’t help us get rid of this disease.

At its root, this is fear of rejection.
The result is a need for control, since those you control and dominate can’t reject you.
Of course no one wants to get close to such a person, so they are rejected.
Sad.
Can’t imagine why a man wouldn’t want to engage in a quarter century of economic and emotional servitude to a loud mouthed and sagging proponent of falsehoods aimed and destroying him.
It took her a long time to grow up and realize that imitating men is not “feminism”. That which is uniquely feminine is.
