Fifth Wave Feminism
Content: Sorry, guys, but admit it. If these are the distinctive marks of womenhood, how do we find the feminists disposed to them? Instead of embracing and glorifying them, the feminists regard all signs of femininity with the horror a Jewess escaping from a concentration camp would regard the Yellow Star — her dogma is that all signs of femininity are signs of degradation. Hence, the feminists offer the following witch’s bargain to the young women of the rising generation: in order to be equal to a man, you must do man’s work; in order to do man’s work, you must compete on equal footing with him; this means you may not have children during your journeymen and early mastership years, 18 to 28. These are your most fertile and sexual years biologically: you must chemically neuter yourself doing those years, becoming artificially sterile, and use your sex drive only for self gratification, not for sex. Now suppose we did not know the sex of the person offering the bargain.
