What began as an American cultural movement to free women from the stigma of being second class citizens and to fight for equal employment opportunities for them soon degraded into a surreptitiously orchestrated, life-long, man-hating event.
The fact that Betty Friedan was a homely and miserable hag who simply hated men seemed to go unnoticed by everyone except the beautiful and sophisticated — and unscrupulous — Gloria Steinem, who stuck herself to Friedan and her bilious diatribe like fly paper and who subsequently exploited the American man-hating movement for her own personal aggrandizement.
Throughout the Seventies decade Steinem almost single-handedly duped millions of Baby-Boomer women into not only hating the men of their father’s and grandfather’s generations for all the alleged abuse suffered by their mothers and grandmothers, but focused her own man-hatred on instilling in feminine youth a hatred for the men of their own generation, young men who were hated for things they didn’t even have a chance to think about yet, let alone be guilty of.
Besides, an awful lot of them were dying in Vietnam, without ever having the opportunity to try on “a male chauvinist pig” mask to see if it actually fit.
Just like the Nazis who preceded them and who successfully hated an entire world for no reason at all, the feminists of “Women’s Lib” also proved to the world that a philosophy built upon hatred can, indeed, move a nation forward.
