Instead of greeting the defeat of its principal rival as an opportunity to reduce America’s global burdens, why did both Democrats and Republicans embark on an ill-considered campaign to spread democracy, markets, and other liberal values around the world?

This strategy—sometimes termed “liberal hegemony”—has been a costly failure.



I like that.

I'm going to start calling 3rd wave Feminism "Feminist Hegemony".

"We already achieved everything we set out to do. Why stop now?"

Do Right, Be Right. :)

You didn't download the book, did you? If you had, you'd see that your new terminology "Feminist Hegemony" does not shine new light on an old subject -- women.




Though a small portion of women are Feminists, not all women are Feminists. Not by a long shot. I didn't say anything about women in general. Just the pink-hat-wearing victim-class idiot NPC women out there.

Feminist Hegemony is a perfect term for their movement in 2018.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Feminism defends equal political, economic, cultural, and social rights for women in the United States. Why does that bother Republicans and so-called "Independents", guys who can't lose rights that they never had in the first place, except in their imaginations? It might bother somebody like me, who actually has these rights because I took them forcefully by kicking asses out of the way and stomping on fools, but why would it bother weaklings who never did have rights? Oh, I just answered my own question; feminism reminds guys who have always been weak-willed that they are not doing so well as weaklings kicked around by bigger, meaner men. And now by bigger, meaner women. That is why those anti-femi-nazis guys (and gals) are angry.

They already have those rights. They have for quite some time.

If Feminism wants to do some good, they can start with Islam.

Islam? Why did you jam scary Feminism and Islam into the same sentence? Oh, I know: 2018 could be the most Islamophobic U.S. Election ever. “Anti-Muslim rhetoric has been in use for years, but until recently, it remained mostly on the fringes of the mainstream,” said Scott Simpson. That’s changed since Trump, Simpson said: “In this midterm cycle, we’re seeing a lot of new adopters. They’ve seen Trump blast this ideology on the campaign trail, more blatant than any campaign like it — and he won! Now it seems many of them want to try out Islamophobia as a political strategy themselves. And we’re seeing this in every demographic and region.”

No. You don't know.

The largest examples of women being oppressed by men in this world today are in predominantly Muslim countries.

Women have everything here already. Name me one single right that men have that women don't in America.

Furthermore, more women now go to college then men. Women have 100% control over procreation. Women tend to hold all of the cards in a divorce, including custody of kids unless it can be very easily proven that they are psychologically unhinged.

Feminism already won. Equality is had.


Since the Feminist Hegemony has run out of shit to do in America, I suggest they start doing missionary work to places that still have thousands of honor killings of women every year and places where women only were finally granted the right to drive a car in the last few years. Yanno... if they're really that bored.



As a side note... Are we done being civil with each other, Second? You've been extremely insulting to me the last few days.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Except it hasn't . The Equal Rights Amendment hasn't been ratified yet, so Constitutionally they literally do not have Equality.

"Unbelievably, women still don't have equal rights in the Constitution"

"Women finally got the vote in 1920, when the 19th Amendment was ratified — more than a century after the Constitution was written.
A few years later, in 1923, the Equal Rights Amendment was introduced in Congress to give women all the other rights in the Constitution. The amendment makes discrimination against women unconstitutional and prohibits legal distinction between the sexes when it comes to property, employment and a whole host of other things.
But almost a century later, the ERA is still unfinished business. That's right: Women still don't have constitutional equality.
Congress didn't get around to passing the ERA until the 1970s, and even then, it fell short of the 38 states needed for ratification by the time the deadline expired in 1982. It has been introduced in every session of Congress since but has never made it to the floor for a vote."

John Quincy Adams may have recognized that the early republic was too weak to “go out in search for monsters to destroy,” but the temptation to spread liberal ideals became more alluring as the United States grew stronger. Once the country stood at the pinnacle of power, it was impossible to resist. If feminists in America, because they are feeling stronger, decide to "improve" religions they don't belong to, they will fail in the same way as the U.S. Departments of Defense and State have failed to "improve" Muslim countries.

Then it is time for them to disband.

Either that, or they can join with MRAs and call themselves Egalitarians.

Nobody is arguing against equality for all citizens...

Except for the Feminist Hegemony in 2018.

You are wrong. They are against equality, maybe not where you live, but definitely, and loudly, the GOP majority in Texas does not want equality.

Can American Men and Women Ever Really Be Equal?
http://time.com/longform/gender-equality-america/
In 1970, noted communist Richard Nixon started talking up affordable child care. A year later, Congress passed by a wide, bipartisan margin a child-care bill. When it got to Nixon’s desk, though, adviser Pat Buchanan persuaded him to block it to protect his right flank. In his veto, Nixon said he could not “commit the vast moral authority of the National Government to the side of communal approaches to child rearing over against the family-centered approach.” It turned out to be a rehearsal dinner for the marriage of antigovernment and self-described “pro-family” activists, who would spend the ’80s rejecting an Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution, telling women that feminism was to blame for all ills and stacking the courts with abortion opponents.

In the U.S., Ruth Bader Ginsburg had been demoted for becoming pregnant and expected to quit at childbirth. By the early ’70s, Ginsburg had begun her effort to convince the Supreme Court that gender discrimination was unconstitutional.

What money and goods do American men get that women don't?

Women are held up on a pedestal in America. You are being ridiculous.

Outside of the mega-rich people here, women have equality and some.

Please stop pointing to high profile individuals for your argument. You end up missing how Feminism already won with the 99% and now only serves to subjugate males in the 99%.
