Declawing Feminism | The American Spectator

Here’s a simple truth. The modern Left hates America and loves the Third World. So much so, they want America to be the Third World. And judging by the blue state of Democrat-run cities, they’ve mostly succeeded.

Twenty years ago, the thought of children walking past filthy drug-ridden homeless encampments to get to school would have disgusted members of both major parties. Today, it’s a daily routine in LA, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, and other once great burgs. Likewise, the idea of people voting without showing IDs — after a Democrat Administration basically invited 21 million illegal aliens into the country — is opposed by 83 percent of Americans, including the majority of minorities. But Dem politicians are ready to die on that hill, to the point of infantilizing blacks and women as too stupid to attain proper identification.

“It’s Jim Crow 2.0,” drones soulless Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, contradicting his own position in the saner 1990s: “Everywhere people go, they’re asked for a Social Security card. In fact, one way to prove you’re a bona fide person who can have a job is to ask for a driver’s license and a Social Security card.”

Yet blacks and women will overwhelmingly vote for that party, and not the one that treats them as competent adults. Because both groups have succumbed to 65 years of relentless, divisive Marxist propaganda — that whites have it in for blacks and men for women — initially fed by academia and media, then cemented by the government in the service of feminism.

In the case of black people, LBJ’s Great Society devastated their once strong nuclear family by displacing fatherhood — a feminist dream. But as destructive as this was, it paled before the abomination that was Roe v. Wade, which sanctioned the slaughter of 65 million unborn babies. In fact, of the Left’s three-legged stool — racism, homophobia, feminism — only feminism remains standing, firmly enough to dominate American society in the 21st Century.

Racism never took permanent hold for the simple reason it’s a total fabrication. White people don’t hate blacks (there are exceptions for everything). They don’t even think about race. Unlike Democrat leaders riding the chimera of white supremacy. With their zenith being the canonization of degenerate criminal George Floyd, the political imprisonment of policeman Derek Chauvin, and the grift of Black Lives Matter. As for homophobia, liberal gays beclowned themselves by pretending they could just switch sexes, to the point of male pregnancy.

But feminism survived, and thrived. It made women crazy — enough to replace maternal fulfillment with ideological fanaticism, like harassing ICE agents in the middle of a dangerous operation to capture criminal illegal aliens, AKA Democratic voters. Their own voting has damaged this country, by electing incompetent losers of both sexes who have made their lives less safe.

Just ask Sheridan Gorman. Wait, you can’t. She was murdered earlier this month by an illegal alien scumbag the Biden people caught at the border and released into the country. Chicago Democratic Alderwoman Maria Hadden had a simpler explanation for the horror. “They might have unintentionally startled this person at the end of the pier, unintentionally.” Put aside any doubt you may have about Hadden’s qualification for high government office. She earned the position, according to the feminist rulebook. She’s the first openly queer Black woman elected to the Chicago City Council.

Politically, I can do very little about feminism damaging the country, other than vote for sane, intelligent conservative candidates. But culturally, I might make a difference. My field — arts and entertainment — is controlled by hack agenda-driven women, and their beta male sycophants. Together, they have ruined the screen industry and diminished literature. Because their goal in both areas is not storytelling, which they lack the talent for, but brainwashing, for which they also lack the talent.

Case in point: two commercials running on Fox News, that I couldn’t pin down for this article. The first one is a laxative ad featuring a nervous man in the bathroom cowering about the solution he must take — until his serene Asian wife explains to him the safety of the product. The other is a wife asking her husband what international cuisine he prefers for dinner, and he shoots down each of her suggestions.

I mostly ignore commercials — other than note the steep drop in quality from the Mad Men era — but subconsciously it hit me. Highly paid advertising executives greenlit the same attitudinal commercials putting men in traditional female roles. No real man in the universe would simper to his wife about taking his toilet medicine. And the cliché, “It’s a woman’s prerogative to change her mind,” no longer applies to women but to indecisive little men.

Switch the genders to reflect truth, and you’d have women with sad lives, AKA feminists, wasting theirs on protesting the ads. While normal men and women will do what they always do — not buy the product. They won’t even muster the interest to boycott it as they did Bud Lite. It’s too insignificant, though the feminists who made the commercials were probably proud of themselves for their jabs at manhood.

Two bits of science-fiction news back me up. Project Hail Mary, a non-woke sci-fi film featuring a competent straight white male (Ryan Gosling), has made $300 million in two weeks — at the theaters — from a predominantly male audience plus large female audience. While Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, offering nothing but girlbosses and weenie males, got canceled last week. Guess which model Hollywood will follow. We good writers will go the opposite way.
