The feminist hags in power don’t hate men—we’re just in the way; they hate young women—yes, even the ones they fool into parroting the slogans. That’s why the heroine quest warned young women to entice men to save them from implacably jealous witches—until feminists reversed this

Heroine’s journey: well by dint of your natural spritely good-willed youthful innocence, you’re desirable to men with straightforward potential & vulnerable to women with backroom power; thus you’ll keep on being victimized, & your only play is to claim you don’t get it, until …

But then the witches took over Disney etc, & shrieked that younger women shouldn’t be told that it’s desirable to compete for men, that they were low-status easy pick-me traitors to true womanhood unless they waited until age 35 & acted frigid entitled mannish to stand up to men.

So we learned that actually Cruella de Ville & all the other villains were actually good guys, just unfairly maligned strong women whom you *have to* sympathize with, & whom you only have to fear if you let men reject them. & we learned that real princesses hate romance & family.

& oh it’s not that we hate these young beautiful princesses etc—just as we’d never poison them, we’d just let old hags offer them shiny apples 😉—we just think it’s disempowering to Tinkerbell to let her flirt her way to power over all the rivals & to forgiveness for her treasons

So the hag’s journey replaced the heroine’s journey, just as the homosexual’s journey replaced the hero’s journey—summary from the good @0x49fa98 essay on “the art of multiverse maintenance.” His essay also touches on how eg these womanish & childish games can be made productive.
