The Feminist Social Disease

Statistical Summary

Or, Searching For the Positive Side of Feminism

One century after American women gained legal rights, which "corrected" the complaint of the feminists at Seneca Falls in 1848, they have gained nothing and lost much. Marriage, family, and children have been trivialized, 36 million future American citizens were tossed in the human trash dump of abortion, and feminists can point to absolutely nothing with pride and say: "It was all worth it".

The feminist complaint in Seneca Falls was: "He has made her, morally, an irresponsible being, as she can commit many crimes, with impunity, provided they be done in the presence of her husband. In the covenant of marriage, she is compelled to promise obedience to her husband, he becoming, to all intents and purposes, her master - the law giving him power to deprive her of her liberty, and to administer chastisement."

What self-respecting American man in his right mind would have accepted such an absurd complaint?  Which man who voted to "remedy" this condition didn't intuitively know that ignorant women making such a spurious complaint would start a process which would increase the divorce rate America's mothers by fifty fold, would increase the rate at which women are raped 50 fold and the rate at which they are murdered ten fold, would increase the rate at which their husbands and fathers and sons are imprisoned ten fold?

What is wrong with American men today that they don't see the tragedies set in motion by giving women legal rights?

Consider what has happened just recently as the result of accelerated efforts on the part of feminists to expand their legal rights.

Since the 1960s:

1. Fatherlessness octupled to 48% and feminists can't even detect a problem.
2. Divorce doubled to the highest rate in the world.
3. Murder tripled to one of the highest rates in the world.
4. Murders resolved decreased from 92% to 64%.
5. The dollar declined by three quarters (per Consumer Price Index), and by ten fold by the gold standard (from $38/oz to $380/oz).
6. More was spent on welfare than the value of every Fortune 500 corporation and every acre of farm land, combined.
7. Autos supplied by U.S. manufacturers declined from 60% to 20% of the world market.
8. Prison inmates increased ten fold to a rate five times China and South Africa, making American men one third of the men in the world behind bars.
9. Sexual assault convictions increased ten fold to two thirds of the world's convictions.
10. DNA proved that one third of convicted men were innocent.
11. Suicide by men increased to five times that by women.
12. Government spending doubled to 42 cents of each wage dollar, while it remained at 24 cents in Japan
13. The average body weight of an American increased 29 pounds.

Since the 1970s:

1. GDP per worker decreased two thirds by the gold standard
2. Public Debt increased 9 fold to $5.9 trillion, consumer debt increased to $1.2 trillion, and housing debt increased to $3.9 trillion.
3. The U.S. became the largest debtor nation in world history with an average net worth per household of a *negative* $77,000.
4. Interest payments on the debts increased to greater than the gross savings rate of 15% of GDP for the first time since the Great Depression, yet Japan continued to save 33% per year with no debts.
5. Gross savings decreased from $11 trillion to zero as Japan's increased to $22 trillion.
6. 36 million babies were aborted.
7. The "drug war" precipitated a 45% increase in cocaine use.
8. Violent crime increased 560%, illegitimate births increased 419%, and single-parent households increased 3000% (source: The Guardian).
9. Criminal Justice System expenditures increased ten fold to $360 billion and now exceed national defense by $100 billion.
10. The trade deficit, once in the black, increased to $173 Billion in the red
11. Drunk driving arrests increased five fold to 1.6 million per year and the rate of men behind bars for DUI exceeds the total incarceration rate for all crimes in many countries.
12. The motor vehicle fatality rate increased from 30% lower than Germany's to 45% higher.
13. Health services costs increased eight fold to 14% of GDP even though many nations with 4 year longer life expectancies spend only 6% of GDP.
14. The paperwork required to meet government regulations in health care consumes 3% of GDP.
15. Alcohol consumption decreased 18% which costs 35,000 lives/year.
16. SAT scores declined 98 points and the US is DEAD LAST in more TIMSS subjects than any other country.
17. The amount of time PER DAY that children watch TV increased from 5 hours to 7 hours.
18. US banks in the Top 40 World Banks declined from 22 to 1(with assets of $120 billion) as the number of Japanese increased to 24 (with assets of $5,000 Billion).
19. The number of lawyers increased to 60 times that of Japan as the number of engineers declined to less than a quarter of Japan.
20. The ratio of manufacturing employees to government employees declined from 2.5:1 to less than 1:1

That feminism left our daughters DEAD LAST in the world in both TIMSS Math and Physics, with a statistical zero percent of them able to answer the simplest questions, questions which up to 80% of 12th grade girls in other countries were able to answer, is a monument to one of the largest catastrophes in human history.

It also means that they are utterly incapable of understanding, much less evaluating, the above summary of their accomplishments, that they are unable to respond to anything more complex than a sound byte, that a President's personality and not his principles rule their lives, that they can't even understand how affirmative action ruined one of the world's once most competitive economies, that destroying our economy also reduced their quality of life.

People who don't have the capacity to understand this much cannot understand how destroying a father like Robert Lindsay Cheney, Jr., will destroy their own society.  And if they don't have the capacity to understand what it takes to protect their own society, then they have lost the moral authority to possess legal rights.

American women don't have this capacity.
