She's spent her adulthood dismissing the relevance of men and stable relationships, so now she is stuck in a series of unstable and failed relationships whilst craving the very thing that she once disparaged.<br /><br />I'm sure when Chrissy was at university and in her first few years of work that she would have crossed paths with plenty of young gentlemen who could have provided the stability and love that she now craves, but by their nature as gentlemen no doubt Chrissy would have ignored them and attacked them had any shown the slightest interest in her.<br /><br />Let the brain-damaged feminists die out through failure to breed.<br /><br />That being said, she did make one good comment that actually would incite controversy and I'm surprised she isn't yet being smeared as homophobic, transphobic and misogynist:<br /><br />"It’s so easy to see this with parenting. It’s not very controversial to say it seems ideal for kids to be raised by two parents. We acknowledge that mothers and fathers generally bring something different (and valuable) to the table"<br /><br />Now that IVF and adoption are not only legal but celebrated by the media and subsidised by taxpayers of most Western countries every spinster, lesbian or homosexual can create children deliberately deprived of a mother or father figure and any criticism is now shamed out of the public square.The Sheriffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-83391453363674646752020-01-12T16:24:40.660+11:002020-01-12T16:24:40.660+11:00It seems to me that the comment about her work out...It seems to me that the comment about her work outliving her is yet another example of the overvaluing of career. Unless your achievements rank with the greatest in all history--e.g., a Shakespeare, a Mozart, an Isaac Newton--nobody is going to remember you for your work. If you want to ensure you have a legacy, having children is a much better way to do it than being the editor of an online magazine.Hermeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15048343595688010664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-87146244706421479132020-01-12T15:27:18.153+11:002020-01-12T15:27:18.153+11:00Mr Richardson, some good observations here.

How many feminists are eager to get jobs in dirty dangerous industries like mining, construction, commercial fishing? Feminists want glamorous jobs where you don't get dirty.<br /><br />Even when they move into once-male fields, they don't really. Women in science are usually administrators or they're doing PR for science, in other words they're doing traditional female jobs. They just want to be able to say they're scientists even though they aren't. And if they are scientists doing actual science chances are they're doing the kind of science that has always appeared to women (biology, etc) rather than particle physics. <br /><br />What high-achieving men want from careers is the satisfaction of doing something they like. What high-achieving women want from careers is status and glamour, or power.<br /><br />And in marriage the feminist ideal of equality is forcing the guy to do the dishes. That doesn't mean the wife is going to be out there in the yard mowing the lawn, or up on a ladder cleaning the guttering, dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-4330640688693607862020-01-09T14:50:30.720+11:002020-01-09T14:50:30.720+11:00Well put. Maybe one reason why feminist women (in ...Well put. Maybe one reason why feminist women (in particular) don't understand men is that feminists assume that men already "have it all". In other words, if the aim is a maximum autonomy to do whatever we have a will to do, then feminists think that men already occupy that position and have it made in life. It is simply a matter of extending male privilege and male freedoms to women.<br /><br />So there is no need, within this feminist mindset, to wonder how men might be affected by social changes. Why worry about men if men already have it made and have everything that could be wished for? The focus instead is on the sufferings of deprived women and how they are affected by lack of equality etc.<br /><br />To put this another way, feminists don't feel a real need to think in terms of achieving complementary or balanced relationships between men and women or to think through the place of men in society because they have already determined that men have reached an end point of existence in which there is nothing more to be had. We are in our utopia, determined to shut women out of it. We men should, in this feminist world view, simply do what is necessary to give women the same utopian existence. Nor should we be congratulated for doing so given that it is simply a basic mark of human decency.<br /><br />There can be no harm to men, there can be no damage to relationships, there is no need to consider the needs or wants or motivations of men, because we already have everything that anyone could ever want.<br /><br />It is a densely ideological view, but it seems to be a basic assumption of most feminists.Mark Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15961688379656119701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-3618337347293123742020-01-09T14:30:18.823+11:002020-01-09T14:30:18.823+11:00Yes, that happens.

There are women who sleep around during the party girl phase, who marry a family oriented guy during the epiphany phase, but who, having developed promiscuous habits (and habits of independence), find it very difficult to do suburban monogamy and so "frivorce" their husbands during the alpha reinvestment phase (taking with them the house, the kids, part of the husband's future income etc.) <br /><br />Yes, it's risky for men. If we keep on going as is, men and women will continue to lose trust and be increasingly wary of commitment.<br /><br />The lesson is that we need to change family law to give men greater security in marriage and we need to return to more traditional ideals of sexual modesty, to preserve the ability of individuals to successfully pair bond.<br /><br />We also need to return a greater amount of social function to marriage so that men and women once again need each other as husbands and wives. In part, this means no longer emphasising sex role convergence as a social ideal (men and women doing the same things). When a woman asks "why do I need a husband?" it's important that there are clear cut answers she can give herself and similarly for men asking "what do women bring to the table?"

This is one reason why the whole "self-created individual" ethos fails. The "getting of wisdom" can take decades but our lives are set in place when we are young and inexperienced. And so the reality is that success or failure can depend in part on the quality of the guidance we receive, whether from our guardians or from the culture we inhabit. The culture of female "empowerment" harmed rather than helped Chrissy, it is not a fit culture for the raising of young women.<br /><br /><i>It's also sad to consider how many other women's lives she's already contributed to ruining.</i><br /><br />Yes, but I'm willing to wait and see where she goes from now on. I've observed feminist women who find themselves unhappily single and childless, who for a period of time criticise the feminist orthodoxy, but who can't really think their way out of it and who fall back into it (Virginia Haussegger is a good example).<br /><br />Not sure if Chrissy Stockton will follow this path or not.

Its just so obvious.<br /><br /><br />In that regard, have you seen this professors work on the family, sexuality and modern civilization?

Odds are that the poor bloke would eventually see this proud, indipendent woman that needed no man up to the second she felt lonely and unfulfilled, flee his house taking along all childrens and a substantial share of his income to care for them. You know, probably she would keep the house too and let him deal with how to provide enough money.<br />With such risks, why shoudl guys even consider this women for anything more than a one night stand? It might sound petty delight, but she truly has to ride the bike she wanted.p.alessiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17223097384490092245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-58009454580811902752020-01-07T19:14:54.354+11:002020-01-07T19:14:54.354+11:00It's just rather sad that by the time women li...It's just rather sad that by the time women like Chrissy figure this stuff out, it's too late for them. <br /><br />It's also sad to consider how many other women's lives she's already contributed to ruining.

No man has ever shamed a woman for lacking strength. No one ever calls a woman a "weakling" or a "wimp" for her physical frailty, or "weak" for lacking willpower and ambition. Women are physically and psychologically suited to birthing and rearing children, not climbing mountains, running companies and fighting battles. The push for women to be "strong" is part of the feminist inversion of sex roles. ScottChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03968668728124551381noreply@blogger.com
