"In this corner called England, at this end of the century, there has happened a strange and startling thing. Openly and to all appearance, this ancestral conflict has silently and abruptly ended; one of the two sexes has suddenly surrendered to the other... the woman has in public surrendered to the man. She has seriously and officially owned that the man has been right all along; that the public house is really more important than the private house." — G.K. Chesterton, What's Wrong With The World
Feminism is not a win for the feminine. It is a forfeiture. Feminism is not a victory for women, it is a defeat. It does not justify femininity, it surrenders it. Feminism is not the final triumph of women, it is their final defeat. It is women rejecting womanhood. It is the feminine forsaking femininity. It is the concession speech of the feminine agreeing that all the former fuss was uncalled for.
Feminism is an apology and a repentance. It offers femininity as a burnt offering to masculinity in order to say, "I'm sorry," and promises never to pursue girly things ever again. It does an about face and abandons domesticity (husband, home, and children) in order to embrace promiscuity.
Feminism abandons the feminine ideal. Few things are more chauvinistic than Feminism. It is bad enough when men get together to throw shade at the things in which women delight, but how much more so when women do?
Masculinity never suffocated the flame of the feminine so successfully as the feminists have. Nothing has been more hostile to domesticity than vixens in the city.
Feminism is not a procession of feminine virtue, but a concession. Feminism is not the imperialization of femininity, but the capitulation of it. It is the weaker vessel forsaking all weakness. It is fine china conceding that plastic is supreme. It is rose petals arguing for fake flowers and lace making a case for burlap.
What the sister soldiers assumed to be advances turned out merely to be the strategic retreats of chauvinism. The feminists then have this in common with the chauvinists — they both hate what women have traditionally loved.
Feminism is the final concession that masculinity is the ideal. It joins forces with the men by agreeing that their domain was the only one that ever mattered. Nothing has done more damage to domesticity than women teaching other women to despise it.
Titus 2:3-5
The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
Where women forsake the Word of God, womanhood is forsaken and the world taunts the Word.
