Right-wing misogyny isn't How The Left Was Lost. It was women's, the primary administrators and executors of patriarchy and misogyny.
The right hates Roe. The left hates No.
The Red Tsunami flooded America after Democrats abandoned common sense, fair play, a commitment to constitutional freedoms, reason, education, and any American who fails to make less than $150,000 a year.
How The Left Was Lost involved paying attention to the ‘Hitler’ in the other camp while ignoring the ayatollah in its own.
If one was paying attention, which many ‘progressives’ weren’t, they’d have earlier identified the toxic ideologies of the ‘manosphere’ that have quietly permeated the progressive left.
Antisemitism. White supremacy (tweak: Black, not white). Homophobia. A love affair with censorship and a growing one for political violence.
And an equally virulent hatred for women.
I’m not sure how many Democrats morphed red this month, but I’ve been reading about them. I didn’t cross the line, but I too divorced them. I will vote third-party from now on. I’m tired of being told to vote for the lesser of two evils. It’s getting harder and harder to tell them apart.
We politically homeless aren’t holding our breath for change. The enemy was inside our house, too. We liberals saw it, even if progressives didn’t.
What appalls me more than ‘liberal’ men who can’t handle female power, or who don’t take back their balls from dimwitted pussyhatters, are women who fight harder to roll back women’s rights more passionately than the U.S. Supreme Court.
For all the post-election caterwauling about the misogyny on the right—and it’s real—the ‘progressive’ left has been taking orders from the hateful misogynist and about as unwoke-as-you-can-get manosphere for several years.
Let’s break down progressive misogyny, exemplified by Exhibit A: Feminist tail-wagging, hand-licking allegiance to transactivist haters.
The trans War on Women
The manosphere discovered how easily manipulated progressive feminists are: Especially the most misandrist and patriarchy-obsessed. They were already eager pupils, group-trained to never say No to anyone seeking ‘inclusion’. Perpetually enraged manosphereists who’d had quite enough of feminism persuaded prog-fems to adopt values that look different from conservative authoritarianism but differ only in the minor details. They got the little puppies to accept the core tenets of traditional misogyny.
The ugly reality is that this small category of liberals—‘progressive feminists’— abandoned what was left of their reason and common sense in favor of cultural Marxism and moral false equivalencies, setting themselves up for males cleverer than they to induce them to back away from female agency.
How to groom a prog-fem for misogyny:
Slap on a dress and a cheap wig and claim you ‘always felt like a woman’
Change laws to police women’s speech to conform to what men in drag want;
Point out the correct word for ‘women’ is ‘womb havers’; call her vagina a ‘front hole’; ban ‘breast-feeding’ (the word, not the practice) and replace it with ‘chest-feeding’;
Train prog-fems to detest and abuse women who defy transactivists’ claims;
Promote faith-based genderwoo as ‘science’ in schools and recruit formerly scientific magazines for support;
Indoctrinate schoolchildren with genderwoo and get the state to enforce their norms and practices; compel parents to affirm, use the ‘right’ pronouns, give their child puberty blockers…..or else.
Invade bathrooms and other private areas for women, claiming discrimination if resisted;
Tell young biologically female lesbians that ‘some women have a penis’ and that transwomen are women, and lesbians. If you don’t want to have sex with them you’re transphobic, ‘genital fetishist’, and a ‘cotton ceiling bigot’. Also, you’re not a ‘real lesbian’;
Compel women to accept male athletes like Imane Khelif wanting to beat on and compete against women (News update: He’s more man than woman.);
Ignore blatant sexual opportunism and legally permit violent, sadistic, or psychopathic sex offenders to share prisons with women;
Indoctrinate prog-fems to deny women ever get raped or abused by male prisoners. Because that never happens.
Dictating female speech, legally beating and raping women, punishing and pushing out scientists and other intellectuals who don’t tow the narrative line, indoctrinating children, punishing women for resisting male sexual pleasure, encouraging them to ignore thousands of years of evolutionary survival skills about strange men and that uncontrollable penis of theirs, and commanding them to believe what men tell them to are the exact same rules women must live under in theocratic, fascist cultures like ultra-Christian fundamentalism or Islamofascism.
Convicted sex offenders in female prisons? How much must progressives hate women to support that?
American sexologist Ray Blanchard’s historical research on ‘transssexualism’ found that around half of them were autogynephiles. Most of the rest were gay men hoping to attract more men men, and the fractional residual were what we far too broadly today designate ‘gender dysphoric’.
The dizzy little proggies jump through hoops and sit on their hindquarters begging for a treat from their masculine overlords. They’re not smashing the Patriarchy, they’re jerking it off.
The connection between right- and left-wing misogyny
Right-wing traditionalists continue to glorify and fetishize the last golden years of unfettered male control over women before Feminism Ruined Everything™.
Women existed primarily for sexual purposes. Period. Show me some leg, sweetheart.
The illiberal girlies style themselves ‘progressive’ as they jump and beg for treats from their masculine overlords, returning women to an earlier era when they compliantly prioritized men’s desires over their own.
They accept male encroachment in places where strange men put all women and children in clear and present danger, using the magic word that blocks logic circuits in progressive women’s brains:
INCLUSION
The sexual desegregation drive began with the bathroom, when trans/queer culture was still a very tiny minority. The conversation began with ‘third bathrooms’ but was eventually discarded by men ‘identifying as women’ who desired not their own bathrooms, but women’s.
Progressive women willfully ignored the glaringly obvious question: We’ve never allowed men into women’s bathrooms before for important safety reasons; don’t you see how sexual predators can take advantage of this to gain access to women in vulnerable places?
Oh, don’t worry, they don’t want to hurt you, they just want to take a pee in peace!
All this to indulge cross-dressing men. Sexual fetishists.
Autogynephiles.
Pretend we understand absolutely nothing about men and how manipulative many can be when they want something from women. Particularly sexual gratification.
Prioritize men’s desires over your own safety needs.
Yet…..
Women may be the weaker sex, but not the gentler one
Ironically, women are often the most dedicated administrators and enforcers of patriarchy and misogyny - even more strangely, on the left. Progressive feminists denounce ‘tradwives’ and other conservative women who submit to men; yet feminist ‘progressives’ refute women’s body autonomy by dictating to women to STFU about that penis exposing itself in the locker room. Sexual assault victims who have been used by male bodies should also STFU and get over their trauma, because a man in a dress wants to change next to you and your pretty little daughter, and (s)he has every right to, you transphobic, right-wing Trump lackey!
The National Post reported in April that a new Scandinavian study found that women primarily make up the armies of the ‘woke’, with fearsome witch-hunting powers of the woke-infested state to enforce their rigid ideology against whoever dares challenge them. In the progressive feminist’s perfect world, finger-chopping would follow.
The study measured Critical Social Justice Attitudes (CSJAs), among various populations, including ‘well-being’ variables like anxiety, depression and unhappiness. Not surprisingly, as has been found in other research, they found a correlation between (remember, primarily female) CSJA proponents and emotional dysfunction. Not to mention a willingness to dictate the speech of others, especially between those of perceived power differentials.
Sounds pretty authoritarian, huh?
The correlation between progressive women’s liberal views and depression, anxiety, and lack of happiness has already been well-documented by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt.
To wit: CSJAs are promoted and have successfully permeated many institutions including academia, sports, entertainment, politics, communities, mass media, journalism, and government (in the U.S., primarily the Democratic Party, and in Canada, the Liberals, the NDP and the Greens). Mostly by depressed, anxious, demonstrably neurotic women.
The study also names several European countries - the most famously progressively liberal—for the promulgation and promotion of CSJAs.
Psychology studies, as the Review article notes, finds women possess higher degrees of malevolence than men, but no real sexual difference for benevolence. I was reminded of an article a friend sent me recently about the reality of genocide among pre-contact Indigenous cultures in the part of North America we now call Canada. In an article urging Canada’s Indigenous to ‘reconcile with truth’ and be honest about how violent and genocidal pre-European North Americans were, the author quotes Samuel de Champlain who observed how certain Iroquois prisoners were turned over to the wives and daughters for very special and prolonged cruelty, with much feminine ‘delight’.
We see shades of that ‘delightful’ and prolonged cruelty among women behind much of the ‘cancel culture’ and antisemitic attacks on social media. They’re as relentless in pursuing their victims as their old stereotypes, the Greek Harpies, who never gave up punishing evildoers. Did misogyny create this myth, or the recognition that women truly can run an enemy into the ground, or in the modern day ruin her life, her reputation, her career, and maybe even drive her to suicide?
In African cultures that practice female genital mutilation, resistance to change comes mostly from women—perhaps to justify what was once done to themselves. Who ‘slut-shames’? Who denies the loudest that Israeli Jewish women were brutally raped and tortured—sometimes at the same time—by Hamas on October 7th? Who now uncritically supports both Hamas and Hezbollah—Islamofascist dictators who differ little from Trump’s far-right Christians and who demonstrably hate women more visibly and vocally? Although now with no checks on his authoritarianism, perhaps Trump will enable Christians to legally throw recalcitrant feminists, lesbians, transfolk, and gay men off buildings just as their Gazan brothers do.
I could get into the growing evidence that pedophiles are quietly contributing to the ongoing manosphere project to transition misandrist feminists into gentle little lapdogs for The Patriarchy, but that’s likely a subject of a future article.
When they come for the children, these women will say ‘Yes, dear’.
It wasn’t about abortion
To any leftover Democratic voters currently licking their wounds and idiotically wondering whether they lost because Harris wears a bra, understand this, folks: Right-wing misogyny didn’t drive this election nearly as much as transactivism’s did. Most Americans, as it turns out, believe men shouldn’t compete on women’s sports teams. Or belong in women’s changing rooms. And they don’t want their kids learning ‘weird things’.
The Republicans are going to launch an investigation into the Biden government withholding narrative-unfriendly information on the effects of kiddie sex change operations. I can’t wait. I already know how this movie ends.
Let’s be clear: Abortion wasn’t, as the cosseted blue elitists believed, the women’s issue that voters, liberal and conservative, cared most about; it was women’s right to be women, and be protected from male sexual predators, and competitive cheaters.
I can’t vote Democrat anymore; they’ve abandoned liberalism, women, children and reality. They hate real liberals.
We think too much. We resist too much. We talk to conservatives too much. We ask the glaringly obvious questions.
Until progressive feminists learn how to say No, ask questions, and identify sexual predators, they’ll roll back women’s rights further if they’re allowed back into power.
And for those of us who don’t do what we’re told, they will change the laws.
And that, folks, is How The Left Was Lost.
