Feminists Truly Hate Women
-By Warner Todd Huston
On Sunday, July 6, in Jonesboro, Georgia, an immigrant Muslim father strangled his daughter to death in a so-called “honor killing” because she protested being forced by her family to marry a man she did not know. No feminist uttered a word about the murder of twenty-five-year-old Sandeela Kanwal. On the following Wednesday officials in the city government of Atlanta, Georgia bowed to the pressure from one feminist nut to stop posting “men at work” signs in the city because they are “sexist.”
The contrast is stark as well as revealing, if not entirely disgusting. It reveals an American feminism that is a hypocritical, unserious, sham that deserves nothing but derision. A movement that indulges in oblivious, frivolity while real pain surrounds them.
The western world is in the midst of a clash of cultures that is killing thousands of people every week. The west is seeing a religio-political system calling itself Islam perpetrating some of the most oppressive actions against women in modern history. Women are daily and by the millions beaten, raped, mutilated, and oppressed in uncountable ways by adherents of a so-called religion. This is not only happening in far away lands, either. Immigrants are importing these barbarous, uncivilized ways into the west and right into our midst.
Girls of Muslim heritage throughout the west are being forced into marriages against their will, sold into sexual slavery, their genitals are being mangled in a faux religious ceremony and they are being treated as second class citizens by their parents and relatives, immigrants of Muslim background.
And as these very real crimes against women occur what do the feminists of Atlanta, Georgia get all exercised about? The elimination of signs that say “men at work.”
Feminists in America and other western nations have a possible crusade just aching for their care and development, yet these same feminists who pretend that women’s rights are their priority consistently ignore real oppression. These oppressed Muslim women suffer unimaginable horrors at the hands of their uncivilized religion and imported, backwards culture all the while western feminists sit on their hands and concerns themselves with pointless issues like city signage.
As Sandeela Kanwal was agonizing over her forced marriage in Jonesboro and later as her murdered body lay on the floor of her Father’s home, the last bit of precious life fading, a childish, foolhardy “feminist” named Cynthia Good was congratulating herself on somehow striking a blow against oppression by making Atlanta get rid of a few paper signs.
While millions of young girls cower and allow themselves into forced marriages all across the west, magazine editor Cynthia Good trumpeted her success and called for the rest of the country to join her earthshattering, important efforts. “We’re calling on the rest of the nation to follow suit and make a statement that we will not accept these subtle forms of discrimination,” chortled the facile Good to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
This is the result of liberal moral equivalence. The western liberal’s self-destructive insistence that each culture is just as good as the next, yet at the same time the assumption that our own is somehow worse for its “oppression” and “discrimination,” courses throughout the veins of pernicious feminism. The delusional insistence that we, the west, are the bane of civilization as poor young girls like Sandeela Kanwal lead pitiful existences often meeting a violent end right under the noses of these same “feminists” who claim moral superiority is an outrage. The belief that a paper sign alerting passersby that people are working in the area is worse than the murder of Sandeela Kanwal and others like her is a travesty.
Feminists are execrable yet are given the benefit of government money in our universities and places of high esteem. Today, feminists are as bad a holocaust deniers, as bad as Soviet apologists, for their willful ignorance of the oppression of women that goes on around them every day.
The Soviets used to call westerners who gave them cover for their crimes against humanity “useful idiots.” Muslims call westerners who turn a blind eye to their oppressions “dhimmis,” folks who have a lesser stance in Islam but follow along dutifully ignoring the crimes around them. Cynthia Good is a dhim idiot. She make fools of every person everywhere truly concerned with eliminating oppression.

WTH, I am gald to see you fulminate on this. The Feminists don’t care.
We live in an era when ‘care’ is becoming more and more difficult. The once ‘normal’ drive of men to ‘care’ for women has been villified and crushed out of social approval and almost out of existence by these same feminazis and their own useful idiot legislators, Judges, Lawyers and a host of rent-seeking scum who have ‘taxed’ care out of society’s stores of sensibility.
Care for men by women died, garrotted, quite a while back.
You care. It gives some hope that a spark of care still exists.
I get tired. I sometimes tell myself that I don’t care. That caring makes no difference anymore. But then you come along and have me wet my lips from a cup.
Thank you, Sir.

There is a much stronger way to show that feminist are the real misogynist.
When they treat an adult like a little child, do they show respect for them? When they do not hold an adult accountable and responsible for their own actions, do they show we value them?
When they voice “women can do anything a man can do” then we demand all sorts of affirmative actions and freebes do they really indicate women are capable of earning their own way on their own merits?
When they demand that women be seen as victims and they do all in their power to keep them as a victim instead of letting them rise above it, do they indicate that they are anything but misogynist?

Never occurred to me before but you’ve got a point. I’ve always assumed that feminist don’t involve themselves in the lives of Middle East women because there’s no money in it. You’re probably closer to the truth with this article, they really don’t care about women at all.

A “MEN AT WORK” sign? Sure I would find that offensive as a woman considering most women would not want to be accused of such a thing as toiling at that type of work. No way, not when one could just pass laws that guarantee equal pay for UN-equal work. Ironically at most (if not all) of these MEN AT WORK sites, the most one might see a female worker doing is waving a flag. Hmmm….dig by hand, work a back-hoe, spread searing hot pavement, work a jack-hammer or…….talk on a cell phone while waving a flag for the same cash (plus lucrative anti-male tax-saving benefits). Uh, I dunno.
Wait a second……a young woman was brutally killed? By a man who is part of an oppressive religion that continues to treat women as chattel? C’mon ladies….get your signs of protest and let’s make us some noise. We’ll teach them bastards to post those discriminatory road signs.

“stop posting “men at work†signs”
Practical reason: takes up too much space to say “Men working, and women exchanging recipes, texting, drying their nails, and doing their makeup”
July 11th, 2008 at 10:52 am
“Men at Work” ??
You mean like the Wimbledon Men’s finals last week.
5 sets, 4 hours and 48 minutes worth.
Yet women get “equal pay” for their 3 sets….and much, MUCH less work.
Feminist math is a curious thing. Apparently, shouting and stomping your feet and pouting DOES make 3=5.
July 11th, 2008 at 11:38 am
Women only groups, services and things that use “women†in their title offend me.
For example, the movie Pretty Woman ought to be changed along with Women’s Day Magazine, Bionic Woman TV show, “woman” in the dictionary, the government’s Office of Women’s Business Ownership, The National Women’s Health Information Center, National Organization for Women, Women for Women International, women’s sports, women bathroom, among others.
Will a feminist campaign for equality?

Why don’t American Feminists stand up for Muslim women and women in other cultures, and go into pit bull mode against the Muslim world?
Because they know their enemies, and their limits…They know that American and Western men are so trained and are such pussies that they can hammer them without fear of repercussion. And they also know that, should they ever start this shit with Muslim men, they’d get their throats cut, and otherwise have a hell unleashed on them that they’ve not ever experienced, and don’t ever want to see.

Warner,
Your point that feminists hate women is correct: they bait women into making all sorts of decisions that later hurt them.
However, your thinking is tragically feminist and off base too. Where on earth do you get the idea that “millions of young girls cower and allow themselves into forced marriages all across the west…”? That is a ridiculous feminist assertion straight from your lips.
Do you really believe that “Women are daily and by the millions beaten, raped, mutilated, and oppressed in uncountable ways by adherents of a so-called religion”? Sure, there is some of it going on perhaps in certain countries with repressive governments such as Burma, but it is not anything on the level of mass brutality you invent it to be in the Muslim religion.
We must NOT become a hysterical and polemical as those who hate us have become. You crossed the line twice in this piece. But you are not unusual in this regard: classic conservatives often hold feminist beliefs that end up poisoning anything they would do to restore marriage in America. If you truly want to change America, you need to start by extricating yourself from the feminist beliefs sending you down the feminist drain.
The fact of this world cultural collision is that feminists hate men, and muslim fanatics hate western feminism. Men in western countries are served up by the millions on the platter of radical feminism, and our men have to go defend our countries from whackos who hate feminism. Western men are getting it at both ends.
Our job is to restore marriage and the status of reasonable men to simply exist in America. Our job is to teach women that the average husband will care for and protect her far better than invisible feminist bureaucrats do.
Most women quickly come to understand that feminism has hurt them tremendously. If we simply speak intelligently to them we can change America for the better.
July 12th, 2008 at 1:10 am
Oh dear, David. I agree wholeheartedly about the hysteria adoption you talk of. It behoves us all to stay out of the realm of fantasy.
And I applaud you bringing us back to the future and the prospect of restoring the staus of men.
Oh, and marriage.
But…. this – “Our job is to teach women that the average husband will care for and protect her far better than invisible feminist bureaucrats do.”
That is only half the job, if I might be so bold as to diverge from your chosen line. You are going to have to teach men too.
Men will want to know why on earth they should bother to ‘protect’ women. Or ‘care for’ them for that matter. After several generations of having any caring action belittled and calumnised, even legislated against complete with punishment for being thought to have tried, and an equal time being lectured that women can do anything a man can and better, what is in it for men to go back to being under-stairs servants?
The real future will have an entirely different ‘marriage’ than that past. I suggest that your time and erudition would be better spent defining a ‘New Marriage’ and trying to convince we men that it would be viable.
The irony in that ‘men at work’ sign issue is that as far as marriage is concerned, men have downed-tools and are having a strike meeting. They have walked off the job. They care not a whit for the hole in the middle of the road. Its a road with a sign saying “Women-only between 5 am and 11 pm”.
Its funny how WTH’s words made me care for a moment, and yours had the opposite effect.

Of course, rolling back Feminism would need a truly monumental change of direction. An entirely new leadership.

amfortas,
we must put our arm around women and point out that having a husband is still by far the best predictor of happiness and a decent life for them. Feminists spent 45 year convincing women they would do better “having to do it all” as heroic single mothers, as prostitutes and spinsters. All scientific evidence proves that feminists are wrong.
Too many conservatives, including Huston, hold a suicidal set of beliefs hating feminism while still practicing it to the letter. I have chased Huston around the block about this before. His reaction was defensive and angry — just like feminists do. There is no excuse for conservatives feminist mugwumps who complain loudly while being part of the problem.
There is no hope in Huston’s approach — he sends everyone right into the feminist swamp. There is hope in changing conservatives, one at a time, so they finally walk away from Klannish feminist beliefs. I have been doing this for years, and have seen great successes in the upper realms of think tanks.
There are lots of liberals who actually have a better understanding about why feminism is the problem, because they lived it themselves. But they are harder to change because they also have a lot of strange notions about the need for a huge welfare state and freewheeling divorce etc.
The hope is in challenging those who pretend to know it all — those who pontificate nonsense to the masses — those who lead the masses down the wrong road.
July 12th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
David, you do not know how much I appreciate you saying all of that, and how you said it. Maybe saying so here lets you know.
I have sympathy for good women. I like women – always have. Not that I trust them anymore. They have to restore and regain that having so damaged it. And I too, like you, would like to see an end to the War.
You are one of the few voices in the MRM advocating marriage as a major platform. You are a Men’s Advocate of Premier standing and rightly so by achievement. We all listen to what you have to say.
We all have different ‘accomodation’ experiences with feminism. Some of us are rigourously antagonistic and some less so. WTH and your good self differ from one another, as do I. It is a broad ‘church’ and we bring different strengths.
The fact that both men and women benefit from marriage is, to me, gainsaid and I concur with much in the book by Richard Driscoll, reviewed on MND currently by Steven Svoboda.
That said, reconstructing marriage as a worthwhile relationship and an Institution after such carnage and destruction has been caused will take the equivalent of a Marshall Plan. What will eventuate, should your wishes for marriage occur, will have very different architecture, yet-to-be-designed major structures, quite different arterials and a whole new specification for construction. It would have to start with a dismantling of arms of Government and the ‘earthworks’ alone would bury Family Law. There would necessarily be many casualties in current ‘Industries’.
If we go back to what marriage was before feminism, it will be ‘Theme Park’, erzatz, and just as uncomfortable, dangerous and exploitative of men as it was before.
I ended my last comment with – “Its funny how WTH’s words made me care for a moment, and yours had the opposite effect.”
That was to say, WTH showed ‘care’ for women’s plight, where it is indeed oppressed, and I responded to that. A feeling. I sometimes get tired of ‘putting an arm around women’ and often get stick for doing just that from other MRAs, and his words – even though perhaps ‘hyperbolic’- blew onto darkening coals. Your words made me think. Your words, articles and essays always do, even if I sometimes do not agree wholeheartedly with them all or challenge some.
I am never offended by what you say, Sir, and hope my occasional challenges do not offend you either.
By the way, I hope you can see your way to voting for me in the comming Presidential election. I can promise quite confidently that you and I will see more eye to eye than you will with any other candidate.

Warner-please do clarify here.
Are you saying this in reference to Muslim immigrants to the West?
Or about the West itself?
If it is the latter well-that is just too un-freaking-believable.
Please do clarify this point sir.
July 12th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Cynthia Good is a by product of men doing nothing while the women cry and complain and get yet another law passed.
This dumbitch is a product of the West that has turned women into narcisstic fanatics and narcisstic fascists. Emboldened by 4 decades of always getting everything they want simply by being crying and complaining women, there will NEVER be an end to this insanity until actual real men say “enough!”. Having eliminated all of the important rights and protections for men that were once shared by both men and women (and are now only given to women) narcisstic fanatics/fascists such as Cynthia Good are always looking for(and always will) new axes to grind with men.
And the men never change. Currently a poll on Fox News concerning a debate Marc Rudov had recently concerning this topic shows Marc leading by 51% to 49%. A lousy 2% margin!!

As men, we need to recognize the profound harm that feminism has done to our society. Millions of kids are growing up without fathers, due to the infantile and self-destructive behavior of women. Enough is enough. When a social experiment fails, the sensible thing to do is to return to the situation that existed before, not continue pass one anti-male law after another. For better results, our system must vary its behavior.
July 14th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
Man Up! Drop a sack and be a man. Forget the past two decades. Leave your feelings and your feminin side at the door. It does not work for men. Be a man, a hunter, a leader and stand up for yourselves. Cowards..all of you. Stand up to your women/girlfriends/wives. You have to fight…period. It’s WAR!
July 14th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Men are the ones that truly Hate women/families/children by not standing up to the feminist movement but instead just lay down and get walked all over like a door mat.
July 14th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
Speak for yourself. The Boomer Generation of men brought us to where we are today. I’m no coward. Nobody gets in my face and walks away the same person they were before.
Nobody walks on me. The women? In this country they can all (or mostly all) just kiss my ass. I’ll fight for women-just not American and not Western women. There aren’t enough good ones here for me to give a damn.
July 15th, 2008 at 10:28 am
Men need to be very selective about their women these days. Find the right ones and there’s no need to stand up to them.
Find the wrong one and you’ll be lucky if you’re even able to stand after she’s finished with you.
