Where is the Feminist Movement

Today is International Women’s Day. A day to celebrate women’s rights but those rights and freedoms are under attack and the wounds appear to be self-inflicted. So my question is where has the feminist movement gone? Their silence has left real feminists and past heroes of the cause turning in their graves. In America, and in all western democracies, woke liberal marxist ideology and anti-intellectualism is like a cancer on women. In the U.S. in the federal election half the women who voted did so for a woman and a party who are trying to erase your gender. In an act of what I can only describe as smug hypocrisy some Democrat congresswomen showed up at the joint address to Congress this week wearing pink in solidarity for women but refused to support restrictions on biological men playing in women’s sports. It gets worse. They support gender neutral language so if they get their way today will be called International Person Who Menstruates Day. They want to strip you of your identity and dignity by calling mothers “birthing persons” or a “birth giver” or “egg producer”. They want to call mothers who breastfeed “chestfeeders” who produce “chest milk” as they believe that men too can have babies. They want you and your daughters and sisters and mothers to share bathrooms and women spaces with biological men. That’s what the modern left think of women’s rights. If it wasn’t so dangerous it would be hilarious. But it’s not just you ladies in their sights. They want fathers like me to be deemed “second biological parent” but I guess as long as they keep calling for abortions on demand that’s all that matters, right? That seems to be what’s most important to a lot of you. So the next time some Trump deranged lunatic tells you they’re voting for the Kamalas of this world to protect the rights of women call the men in white coats to come and take them away. You’ll be doing a public service. Trump is the only one that I can see anywhere protecting the rights of women. So spare me your woke liberal scatology on this great day. Women in America owe Donald J Trump a huge debt of gratitude for ridding us all of this crap but many of you I know are so full of hate and ignorance you’d rather betray your own gender and ignore the reality. That’s a you problem, not a me problem. Have a wonderful day, girls. You deserve it!

Hi Kim. Nice to hear your views. I know all sensible women and men agree that no amount of woke conversion therapy or pseudoscience will change who we are.

Keith, Congrats on POTD! Women’s Day should not be about transgenders. They might want to be a woman or experience the clothing of, but that is not what a woman is. Women are given rights then people reroute and want to find a new way to make women feel unsafe. Are most as strong when they can be raped and beaten?! Honor mothers who have the God-given responsibility to protect and nuture.

Hi Keith, I dont really follow American politics, I think we have enough problems in our own backyard. I think when we cant get more then 2 cartons of eggs at a time when shopping,theres something going very wrong with the economy. Anyway just wanted to congratulate you your POTW. Donald Trump obviously has a far reaching plan which he is not going to divulge for security reasons. People should give him a chance to see it evolve without just rubbishing him without knowing what's going on behind the scenes. One thing is true, the man has 'Bolas de asero. Lol...Maria

Hi Maria. I’m just astounded at the cultural infirmity that is liberal progressivism. A virus that leaked out of an Orwellian echo chamber much like Covid did out of the Wuhan lab and infected not the old and comorbid, but the weak and gullible. It is an anathema to the Judeo-Christian values western civilisation is built upon. Just keeping it light. Nice to see ya.

Cheers AP. I fear for our daughters and their daughters. One day, when it’s too late, some of my critics will muse “why didn’t I speak up and resist when I had the chance?”. By the way, for all you cultural innovators out there just know this: there is no such thing as a transgender child.

Like Charlotte, I agree with much of this. I can't be sure about Trump right now. I think he went too far regarding transgenders. I support his stance on not allowing the sex change operations before adulthood. I only wish he had not implied that it is wrong to transgender ever. I think it's an individual choice to be made after adulthood. I am glad to be rid of ridiculous alternate pronouns like they and them and terms like birthing person. The liberals need to realize America voted for changes mainly to our economy and the border situation. Kamala had not given a plan for change. She actually said she was keeping Biden's policies, so she dug herself a grave by saying that. My main concern is a change in our health services so I was thrilled about RFK. And I can't understand the backlash to him. He is super knowledgeable. I am not political. I care more about health issues.

I know but it’s hard, Andrea. These are the same people who think Fauci can do no wrong and masks should be worn at the beach or alone in your car. It’s a weird cultural psychosis where common sense has no place and dissent is seen as conspiratorial. I’m sorry, but a lot of these people have a few kangaroos loose in their top paddock.

Andrea Dietrich
Date: 3/10/2025 5:20:00 PM

I agree with you mostly, as I said. I just think you should tone down your language just a bit when you call the lefties deranged lunatics. Regardless of how we feel, we don't have to stoop to the same level as those women who couldl not even stand to applaud a kid dying of brain cancer during Trump's address to the union. And of course, I do not think anyone with Y chromosome should be in women's sports!!

Keith D Trestrail
Date: 3/10/2025 3:09:00 PM

Andrea, no one is saying Trump has all the answers but he’s certainly on the right track and most Americans support his women’s and transgender policies even if they won’t admit it. It shouldn’t be controversial to want to protect women and the rights they have for so long fought for. That all begins with acknowledging what a woman is! You don’t need to be a biologist. Cheers.

WOW...So this didn't get placed in time out...Keith, I have been a "feminist" for decades ... encouraging my daughter, grand daughters and great grand daughters to pursue their dreams and be willing to work for them. I taught them that elbows are for throwing and hips for checking. One of my nieces became a firefighter, EMT, and nurse. I told them "never let anybody tell you who you are or what you can become....thanks for poking the bear

Hi John. Your daughter sounds like a role model for women everywhere. Sadly, a lot of the commentariat and women on this site are not. They enable the social engineers with their silence and apathy. Cheers.

As a woman I do not feel that I would be safer under or anywhere near Trump, I would feel safer in a change room or a washroom facility with with a transgender person. I suspect that you have never known or met a trans identifying person, which is a blessing for them. I fear for all women, girls, and non gender conforming people under Trump’s reign.

Men branded Suffragettes demanding the right to vote lunatics. Husbands could beat wives with impunity. A woman needed her husband's permission for a myriad of things. Our president brags about feeling up women. If taking a stance against these injustices makes me a feminist--count me in! My best and congrats on your most sobering Potd! Robert

Thanks for the history lesson but it appears your side of politics has learned nothing from history. Those suffragettes would be turning in their graves at the modern left. Putting aside your TDS, under this President women’s rights have been protected from the radical circus clowns. Normal transmission has resumed.

Gross, the names for all the above terms "egg producer" I have always said "women not wombs"! Defining feminists in a very narrow fashion with scientific terms I'm sure is all it is. A prime e.g of a feminist is MALALA sacrificing her life for well you know, women's rights. In D.T.'s world women are joy toys, eye candy for his carnal pleasure. I maybe a feminist in that I fight for rights of everyone. I've got a man not a proud boy, a proud man who'll fight a good fight with reason, integrity without hiding behind god or daddy Don. Back to say that, oh and Congrats!

Keith D Trestrail

BTW, why did you mention muslims? Are their rights in danger? Seems to me it’s Jewish rights which have been trampled upon in the last two years. Radical antisemetic Muslim activists seem to be a protected species under your tent. It’s clear where your political compass points.

Keith D Trestrail
Date: 3/9/2025 3:14:00 PM

Are all of you incapable of addressing the point? Malala is a great inspiration to women all over the world but Kamala is not - she’s an idiot. What kind of feminist are you? As a woman you are much safer under Trump than you were under Biden or don’t you mind sharing a changing room with some transgender man or some predator who identifies as one? If you would let your daughter do that you don’t have the sense God gave a rocking horse. If Obama implemented Trump’s policy on women’s rights and banning the sexual mutilation of our kids you’d be dancing a jig in the streets. Shame on you all.

The funny thing is most of these women in denial on some level in the recesses of their consciousness know it’s all true but will never admit it. It’s all genetics. They’re born with the “dumb gene” which they have little control over. They know something to be true yet rationalise it as false. This dumb gene is not only found in women but equally witless men too. Sadly for these women if you stood next to them in deep thought you’d hear crickets!

I just don’t get it, AP. My wife would throat punch you if you called her a birthing person. The last administration appointed a justice to the Supreme Court who after having been asked to define a woman replied “I can’t, I’m not a biologist” and liberal women on the left defended her. That’s the level of derangement we’re dealing with. Cheers.

My moral high ground is I think of Kennedy as I think of Trump I have no political agenda, only that of a grown man, and how I perceive what that is to me, and it's neither of them or those like them, no one is pure, but there is right and wrong and that's my guide, forgive me for thinking you could look at the world without bias or feeling you have to defend what's wrong

Keith D Trestrail
Date: 3/8/2025 5:24:00 PM

Why would you even mention Trump? You agree with my premise but your hate you can’t let go. Forget the man and acknowledge his accomplishments. People still admire and respect JFK but he had the morals of an alley cat so spare me the righteous indignation. You’re not on any moral high ground here.

Keith D Trestrail

Thanks Miranda, it’s an important message. The silence from women’s groups is deafening. All they seem interested in is reproductive rights but the rights to their own identity, seperate and district from men, is not on their radar. I wonder why? Could it be it’s because they’re ideologically aligned to the left and the debate has been hijacked by political activists? If so, why don’t the great majority of women who know better not find a voice or the courage to speak up?
