the Bishop is, there let the multitude of believers be;
even as where Jesus is, there is the Catholic Church'' Ignatius of

Open Letter to Young Feminists
You, as a
Western woman, are a member of the most privileged
group of people who've ever lived on this planet. You live in a time of
material abundance, antibiotics, air conditioning, refrigeration,
washers and dryers, hot and cold running water, air travel, and
information at your fingertips. As a female, all your life you've
gotten encouragement and compliments. Your emotional world is catered
to, and your esteem for yourself is treated as being of utmost
importance.
Technology and the law allow you great control over the effects of your
biology, with inexpensive, readily available contraception -- and if
that fails, depending on your State, abortion, something men, of course
have no say over in individual cases. Men
don't have the same legal powers women do in deciding when to become
parents. Only you, as a girl, have the legal power to will people into
and out of humanity: you want the baby, then it's a baby! You want to
kill the baby, then it's just "a clump of cells." You're magic!
Since you were born, you've been told how powerful girls are, how
wonderful, how they're just like boys -- but a hundred times better.
Women in the media are senators, judges, astronauts, surgeons, and
superheroes able to leap into the air and get three kicks off to a
man's head before landing back on the ground.
You've been taught to think "sassy" and "highly independent" are
attractive ways for a woman to describe herself.
If you're a
person of reasonable intelligence, you can do most anything you want to
do in this world. The world caters to you, doing all it can to
encourage you to get the best scholarships and jobs. Affirmative
action, quotas, and the push for "diversity" put you in the position of
getting what you want in academia and the workplace. And in academia
and the workplace, you have the power and know-how as a female to
manipulate in order to get your way, and to destroy men
with just one accusatory word or expression of discomfort.
And about those men: you are totally clueless about them, thinking them
the source of all evil. In your eyes, they've done little but hold
women back and take advantage of female goodness. Women give and serve,
and men take and abuse. Members of the masculine sex don't have any
feelings you really need to worry about, either; instead, it's all
about what they can do for you. You have a long list of attributes you
want from a potential spouse, but haven't given a second's worth of
thought of what he might want from you. All you think you have to do is
show up
and look cute.
If you were to find a husband, you don't have to worry about losing
your children, house, and half of
your income in divorce; that's for those sucker men to get stuck with.
For you, there are safety nets everywhere. Mom and Dad. Government. The
ex-husband's wallet. Some sucker boy who'll help you out if you flirt
hard enough. "Only Fans".
Becoming a "Sugar Baby." Being a young female means not having to
really worry too much about
being left homeless
and hungry; someone, somewhere, will bail you out.
You never have to worry about your children not actually being your
children, either. You can be glib about your ability to trust in
relationships because the worst that can happen to you is a broken
heart while men risk broken hearts and being forced to raise other
men's children. The agony of realizing you've raised a child you've
been
tricked into thinking was your own -- why, that thought has never
even occurred to you. Sleeping around is just what women do these days;
it's their "right" and calling it out is just nefarious "slut-shaming,"
right?
Nor do you ever have to worry about getting drafted to go fight in some
war. Nope. You didn't have to
register for Selective Service when you turned eighteen, did you? My
guess is that you don't even know what "Selective Service" is, and have
no idea that if a boy doesn't register, he's ineligible for various
government benefits, federal jobs, state-based student aid in
thirty-one states, federally-funded job training, federal grants and
loans, U.S. citizenship if he's an immigrant, and until very recently,
federal financial aid for higher education. And I bet that even if you
are aware of all that, you're not at all concerned about any related
equality or equity issues. Am I right?
-- and speaking of equality and equity, where are all the
girls your age clamoring for there to be an equal number of female and
male garbage collectors, ditch diggers, hod carriers, sewer workers,
linemen, and the like? Equality is The Guiding Principle Of All
That Is Good -- but only when it serves to make females more
powerful. If the boys complain, just call them "losers," "incels,"
or insult the size of their genitals. That always shuts them up. You
go, girl!
A sudden dismissal of all concerns about equality seems to happen on
dates, too. If he isn't the one to pay for everything, he's a loser --
even though women are getting all the plum jobs these days and are
graduating from universities at much higher rates than men. And don't
worry your pretty little head about what makes those dates happen:
he'll initiate; all you have to do is keep being cute (you've got until
you're 30 or so to enjoy that power). He'll make the
approach across the room or send that text. You might shoot him down if
he's not "hot" enough, and you likely won't worry about hurting his
feelings in the process. I mean, if he isn't "hot" enough, who does he
think he is approaching beautiful you? Having one's ego smashed when
being refused when asking someone out is something else boys have to
worry about but girls get to take in stride -- if they consider what it
must be like at all. And they invariably don't consider it at all.
Nowadays, they might even video-record a poor boy's attempt at a pass
so they can upload it to the internet and shame him around the world.
If you have sex on one of those dates and later regret it, all you have
to do is call the cops or the powers that be at your university and
cry, and they'll whisk away the boy who reminds you of your own
foibles. In a university setting, he won't even have a right to due
process; with "believe all women" -- your mere accusation is gold. This
sort of thing goes if you get married, too: if your husband's
disappointing you, just call the cops and cry, and they'll come by,
kick him out of his own home, and maybe even cart him off to jail, take
his weapons for the rest of his life, and charge him with felonies. The
police are your own private mafia. Yay you!
And look at you, off to the polls to likely vote for bigger government
and a bigger welfare state to provide you all those aforementioned
safety nets. Never mind how it all harms workers, weakens families, and
destroys civil
liberties! You go, grrrrrl! Everything is about you, all of the time,
everywhere! Rock that vote, sister!
You're not even beholden to the laws of basic common decency. You can
publicly cry, wail, scream, get hysterical
and even violent -- and men have to shut up and do nothing while you
carry on. If you
were a man acting like that, you'd get your butt kicked, or at least be
mocked. But your overly-emotional way of being in the world has become
the
norm. Truth doesn't matter that much any longer, only feelings do. And
men
have been rendered powerless in the face of your histrionics. If they
fight back, they're accused of "misogny"; if they don't fight back,
they remain powerless as institution after institution turns into a
Romper Room dominated by your capricious moods. All of our institutions
-- Congress,
academia, museums, lower education -- have been re-molded to ignore
objective truth and facts in order to make you feel better. How's that
working out for the world?
"But men have it coming!" you're may be thinking. "They're awful
people!" You likely believe such a thing. You likely think that men are
domestic abusers -- when it's actually the fact that, when
relationships are violent, they're reciprocally violent almost 50% of
the time. And when only one of the partners is violent, it's the women
who are the abusers 70% of the time.1 And did you know
that when children are killed by one parent, it's the mother -- not the
father -- who does the killing over 70% of the time? 2 But
don't let that stop you from projecting and displacing all the evils of
the world on to "men."
Yes, some men are psychopaths. The estimate is that around 1% of men
would fall into that category. Which means that 99% of them don't. And
while you're ciphering, know that experts say that around .7% of women
are psychos, too. But a good feminist has never let those numbers stop
her from shaming all men for the crimes that that 1% commits.
Yes, it's so that a 1% rate of male psychopathy means that if a girl
were to go, say, to a ballgame at Riverfront Stadium, and the stadium
were filled to capacity, and half of the audience were men, then
there'd likely be ~200 male psychopaths present. Women do have to be careful (there were
reasons for the old social rules meant to protect women -- e.g., never
be alone with a man you're not related to, don't go out alone after
dark, etc.)! But women can be careful without forgetting that the above
numbers also mean that there'd be around 19,800 men present who'd risk
their lives to save a girl in trouble with a bad guy. Or at least those
would have been the numbers before feminism came along and made men
wary of interacting with women in any way at all (and before "wokeness"
and identity politics came along and twisted things so that bad guys
are promoted while heroes are punished. Keep voting for that stuff,
too, ladies!).
What You've
Forgotten (Or Were Never Taught, Thanks to Feminism)
Let me tell you a story about a cat named Scarlett. The building she
lived in caught on fire, and she ran in and out of it five times to
rescue her five babies. Wikipedia relates that Scarlett "had been
severely burned in the process of pulling her kittens from the fire.
Her eyes were blistered shut, her ears and paws burned, and her coat
highly singed. The majority of her facial hair had been burnt away.
After saving the kittens she was seen to touch each of her kittens with
her nose to ensure they were all there, as the blisters on her eyes
kept her from being able to see them, and then she collapsed
unconscious."
Meanwhile, human females fight to be able to murder their offspring --
i.e., their parents' grandchildren, their siblings'- nephews and
nieces,
their future children's siblings. They not only want to kill their
babies, they want to be able to "shout it out" and be lauded for it. If
you're like too many young Western women, you've forgotten the most
basic maternal instincts, something even a cat with the brain the size
of a walnut has. You see motherhood -- the teaching, nurturing, and
raising of the next generation -- as nothing but drudgery. You shame
it. You mock it. You treat it as "boring." You're just too good for
that sort of work (of course, the nanny you want to farm your duties
out to isn't too good for it, and the more cheaply she comes, the
better!).
You can
tell who's important in the pictures above by the clothes and the booze
You've taken birth control pills since you were fourteen, and they've
scrambled your hormones such that you're more a transhumanist
pseudo-male than a woman. And while upsetting the balance of your
hormones by ingesting pharmaceuticals, you've also ingested, year after
year after year, feminist propaganda so that now your very instincts
are mostly gone, replaced with the shallow desires to get attention, to
be
seen as "hot," and to be able to buy lots of things (seriously, take
those desires away, and what is left of you?). What remains of your
maternal instincts have condensed and toxified into dangerous political
goals centered on safetyism and wokeness. You're all for politicians
and bureaucrats treating grown adults like babies, monitoring their
thoughts, speech, and actions as if the world's a great Romper Room,
aren't you? "Big Brother" has nothing on "Big Sister," that's for sure.
And speaking of sisters, that's something else you've forgotten: you
don't know how be a
sister. You're catty with other women, seeing them mostly as
competition for male attention, and with men, you're all need -- need
that tries to come
off as "empowered" and above actually needing them in any way. The
sexual
revolution that accompanied feminism has pitted women against each
other in the fight for male eyeballs, all making for a big race as to
who can be the sluttiest whore. It has pitted women and
men against each other as female "sexual empowerment" results in
pushing men out of family life altogether.
You've forgotten how to nurture, how to love as a woman. Here, take 6 minutes to
listen to this opening scene of an old radio show. In it, two
high-schoolers
discover they're attracted to each other. Listen to what she says at
the very end:
"You do need someone to take care of you," she said (and I heard that exact same
line in a second old radio show that I can no longer find).
"You need someone to take care of you." When was the last time you
heard a modern Western woman say anything remotely similar to that line?
When was the last time you heard women talking about what they, as
women, owe men instead of the other way around? Women talk all the time
about what they want -- nay, demand -- from men, and how "a real man"
acts and what "a real man" does for women. But when have you heard what
"a real woman" should offer to men? Have you not noticed that any time
a man relates what he wants from a woman, he gets nothing but cries of
"misogynist!" in return? Contrast this:
She: I want a
man who's at least two inches taller than me, has blue eyes and dark
hair, who's funny, hot, masculine but not wimpy, wants to spend time
with me, will take me on dates even when we're married, and makes
enough to buy at least a 5 bedroom home, get me the car of my choice,
and allow me to travel to places like Thailand or Hawaii every couple
of years or so at least.
Everyone: You go, girl! Never settle! You deserve the best!
-- with this:
He: I want a
girl who hasn't slept around, is faithful and sweet, would be a good
mother, and isn't too fat.
Everyone: How dare you, you body-shaming, slut-shaming
misogynist!
When was the last time you asked yourself these sorts of questions: Would I be a good mother? If I
expect a man to protect me and to work all day to support me and any
children I give birth to, what should I be giving him in return? Do I know how to cook and keep a
house? Am I pleasant to be
around? What do I really
offer a man? Am I truly willing to submit
to a man's headship?
Destroy Any Feminism
That Afflicts You
Think deeply about what men have given to the world (i.e., every little
thing you undoubtedly take for granted on an hourly basis), and then
show some respect and gratitude for it.
Stop displacing on to all men the bad traits of a small percentage of
men.
Stop thinking women are always good, right, and the victims. Clear your
head some with these pages:
Start developing some empathy and compassion for men.
Stop expecting men to behave and feel as women do.
Start thinking about what family life requires to be ordered and happy
instead of thinking incessantly about what you want and think you need.
Know that if you're young and want a family, the time to get it
together is now; your eggs die as I type, and your beauty fades very,
very quickly.
Look to the Blessed Virgin as the most perfect model of femininity.
Emulate her, and ask her to pray for you.
I am not calling for women to cos-play as "trad wives," nor am I asking
outliers to repress traits that make them unique. I simply call for
reason, gratitude, humility, and respect and compassion for boys and
men. I ask for modern Western women to become good women again.
