Encouraging: Feminist Life Making Women Miserable
Posted on 12/12/18 at 9:38 am

A 50-year-old career woman with four college degrees recently called into Dennis Prager’s radio show with advice for young women that amounted to: Don’t do what I did. “I was programmed to get into the workforce, compete with men and make money,” she said. “Supposedly, that would be a fulfilling life. But I was told that by a feminist mother who was divorced, who hated her husband — my father.”
The famous (or infamous) psychologist and advice guru Jordan Peterson hears this all the time from highly intelligent, driven female clients. In their 20s, they think they want the career. But in their 30s, they start to realize that they also really want a family, and that it’s in fact more important to them than abstract notches on some career totem pole. At that point, however, given the vagaries of finding someone and getting across the marriage and then pregnancy finish line, it’s far more difficult for them to make the life they wanted.
I worked with a woman for years who was chasing the corner office. She had a Ph.D., she is successful in her career, and she is actually a pretty woman. But she was miserable when we worked together in our early 30s. Now she is a division director and people that I know from there say that she's even worse.
She grew up with a single mom and had the "women can do anything" mantra that is a huge lie in our society. I have two daughters - I regularly tell them that the most important thing they will ever achieve is to be a mother, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Full Disclosure: Everyone has their thing that they hold true, and mine is the fact that the feminist lifestyle has done more to hurt America than anything else. Almost everything detrimental in society can be traced back to feminism. The curse on Eve that is the most detrimental isn't pain in childbirth - its the desire to rule over men.

As a woman, I agree. Damn the feminazis.

The amount of lonely mid 20s-30s women who pretend their dogs are kids is eye opening

For some women, being career-driven and untethered to family burdens and responsibilities is best. More power to those women--they should be empowered to pursue those aims.
We should NOT be telling females that embracing anything other than such a career-driven lifestyle is "anti-feminist," or anything of the sort. If more women choose that route, then they should be empowered to pursue those aims without being besmirched.
America is the best country on this planet for being able to achieve your socioeconomic dreams. Very few people to blame but yourself if you embrace a narrative and lifestyle just to be PC and end up regretting it. I feel for folks like the woman OP describes.

Yep. Think it’s something like a 1/3 or 1/4th of young American women have some kind of anti anxiety medicine

Another good quote
For the average woman, her overall attractiveness will likely peak by her mid-20s, then start to fall for pretty much the rest of her life. For men, their looks similarly decline. But their power, status, and money start low and go up over time, which can offset or even more than offset declining looks for a while…When young, women are at the top of their game while men are still underdeveloped. So the average woman has much more attraction power than the average man. By the time we hit our 30s, this situation starts to reverse itself.”
This means women have the most marital bargaining power in their 20s. The smartest female strategy, then, is to marry young, and lock in a husband before they have to compete against younger, hotter women. This is the exact opposite of what our society tells women to do. It tells women to do the same thing that men do. But women are not men.

shite, becoming a mother is damn near sci-fi superhuman when you stop and think about it. It blows my mind how modern feminists have turned it into an object of scorn or a signal of giving up or something. YOUR BODY HAS THE ABILITY TO CREATE LIFE. That is fricking incredible.
Saying that's their greatest achievement is hardly an understatement or an insult, and I applaud you for imparting that wisdom upon your daughters. You can make all the money in the world and garner all the degrees, but I'll take one good mother over all of that in a heartbeat. It's that important.

Hallmark movies have taught me that if you are a miserable big city gal. All you need to be truly happy is a small town man to give you the D around Christmas time.

That's a brutal truth that our "everyone is beautiful" society tries to cover up. Fact is, you're not. There is ALWAYS someone, somewhere who someone will find to be hotter than you. A new crop of pretty girls will cycle through every year and push you further down the line, if we're talking about raw, rote, basic attractiveness for the purposes of reproduction. That's just how it is. That's life. If you go through thinking you are and are always going to be the prettiest thing in the room (or live your life trying to get to such status), you'll only end up embittered and old.
So, yeah, it's better to be straight up with girls. If you're hot, flaunt it, and cash in (literally and figuratively) while you can, because there's a shelf life to that shite. And that's ok. Just don't delude yourself.

Thank you for the kind words. Its amazing that even at 11 and 8, they are being taught from a "Girl's Rule" worldview. When I was growing up, the sitcoms all made dad look like a buffoon. Nowadays, many of the things that kids are watching are making any male character look like an idiot.
There are no alpha male Zach Morris/AC Slater type characters in what pre-teens are watching. Males are regularly manipulated by female characters like it should be normal.

People should aspire to understand their nature and live accordingly. Most women are capable of socializing the next generation much more effectively than men. When most women focus on that, staying true to their nature, they find MEANING in their lives and are happier. Careers don’t provide that to the vast majority of women like they do for men, who being true to their nature, go out , kill something and drag it home to sustain their family. Women find work to be unsatisfying to their souls, with exceptions of course.
I know this truth bomb will be an unpopular view and that much soy will now be spilled.

Femnazis see happily married women with families and it makes them angry. Never listen to femnazis, they are just pissed off that no men want them, and they are jealous of mothers. Being a mother is the most important job in our society.

Some folks cannot stand to be alone so they get married and divorced repeatedly instead of waiting until they really fall in love.
Not that great if you're having to pay alimony and child support.

I want these unhappy, horny, wealthy women to know one thing: I am available.

Feminism tells women to desire something they may not really want. Saying it makes them miserable is a little absurd though.

Yup. It's not that you want young girls to lack confidence or agency, but the portrayal of the path to happiness as being the dominant sex is just such an error in focus. Don't teach boys they're better than girls. Don't teach girls they're better than boys. Learn what your body can and can't do and use it and your abilities to help your family and others.

I find that I cannot sympathize with the willing victims of Leftist propaganda and indoctrination.

In this governing Marxist Cultural ZeitGeist that surrounds us, even MEN are no longer men.
It's all part of the plan to tear down the old reality and replace it with the MCZG reality.
I'm fine with it. I enjoy observing the coming of the end of one historical age and the rise of another.
