That's not how life is.
Life's a lot more complicated than that.
But when you fill the university systems with this and then you fill the workplace with it, we've got HR, we've got Me Too, we've got all these systems in place now that actually promote feminism.
It's far and away the dominant social aspect of the culture.
Look at every female celebrity, every single one of them.
Think of the top ones like Kylie Jenner, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Katy Perry, any of the really popular female pop culture.
They're all girl boss, sexual liberation.
Shitting on your ex-boyfriend.
I'm going to dominate him with my sexy physique and my sexual prowess.
And it turns out that a lot of the ancient goddess worship, which was really popular with feminists in the 70s, there was a huge revival of that.
A lot of the goddess archetypes that they brought back had those same themes, like the goddess Kali, who's a Hindu goddess with eight arms and blue skin and a tongue hanging out of her mouth and all of her depictions in Hinduism.
They the feminists chose that and put it on the cover of the first issue of Ms.
That seems like a weird choice if you're trying to get suburban moms in 1973 to buy your magazine to put this blue skinned, terrifying Hindu goddess on the cover.
So why did they do that?
Well, because they had her holding an iron and a baby and like all these domestic things.
And the goddess Kali symbolizes at least two feminists.
Vengeance against men, taking back power from men and having your revenge on them because that goddess only accepts male sacrifice, male human sacrifice, especially on the battlefield.
