The Kavanaugh Smears Broke My Decades-Long Support For Feminism thefederalist.com/2018/10/12/kav…
For more than two decades, I traveled the country facilitating rape and assault prevention lectures, seminars, and workshops for women of all ages.
I was passionate about this work, committed to the cause, and believed wholeheartedly that what I was doing was a wholly virtuous endeavor. I considered myself a feminist. But that was then, and this is now.
All these years I silently stood by and watched third-wave feminism (with assistance from the radical left) methodically take a sledgehammer to Western society as a whole, and males in particular. Foolishly, I hoped things would turn around, only to see things get worse over time
It wasn’t until I witnessed the #MeToo movement snowball into an all-out, anti-male witch hunt that I realized good men were in real trouble. Astonishingly, after having been an advocate for women all my adult life, I quickly learned I was the “enemy,” simply for being a man.
One needn’t look too far to see that today’s hyper-feminism climate has men throughout the Western world walking on eggshells at work, at home, everywhere.
As a counselor, my male clients routinely voice concerns about having targets on their backs simply because they are men, and I am reticent to take on new female clients out of fear of being falsely accused of sexual impropriety.
To be sure, every man—regardless of his age, race, political persuasion, or sexual orientation—is in their crosshairs, but especially those who embody traditional masculine qualities, such as strength, discipline, direction, independence, confidence, and assertiveness.
And God help him if he’s also white, Christian, conservative, affluent, or holds a position of power.
If today’s demonization of males, along with pathologizing of inherent masculine traits, continues uninterrupted, both sexes are in for much more pain than even today’s chaotic marriage market, anti-male education system, and rise in teen suicide and depression bear witness to.
The attempt to block Kavanaugh’s confirmation by destroying his character, reputation and life, via salacious, unsubstantiated, and uncorroborated allegations of sexual misconduct dating back 30+years obliterated the last vestiges of the “women’s advocate” dwelling in my heart
Setting politics aside, watching a good man being taken down by a mob with zero regard for due process and the presumption of innocence is the final straw for me. In other words, I’m done.
