How hyper-liberalism ruined feminism | Louise Perry

[ankavoskuilen]

The concept of freedom has changed. It used to include obligations and responsibilities and ended where it interfered with other peoples freedom.
Now it is: do whatever you want, no matter what.

[Nikelaos_Khristianos]

One sad side-effect I’ve seen, is that the women who do act and live like men are living like a very specific kind of man…. a really toxic type of man. Most people don’t like these types of characters regardless of gender, why would a woman willingly want to act like a hyper-misogynist? It’s not a great look. It just makes them come across like some sort of high school era mean-girl but they’re in their 30s. 😵‍💫

Too little, too late.
NOTHING is going to be "fixed".
We already HIT the iceberg, now its just a fight over the LIFEBOATS lady.

Not freedom, but "license" (i.e., freedom without responsibility). John Anderson says the same further into the full-length interview

She is uniquely qualified to deliver this urgent message. I say this as a former feminist. The results are in and anyone that wants to see women flourish - based on their specific needs and energy - needs to embrace a pivot. I see men as fire, and women as water - different elements that each serve an important purpose.

it's so refreshing to listen to a woman reflect on this and not just repeat

[kauffrau]

The worst aspect of this are the films that show "strong" women carrying an AK47 and shooting up the place. Who's carrying the love?

[bryandoyle]

Define “free.” Freedom from intellect is a one way ticket to the dark ages.

[garrettstephens]

What she describes is not "Hyper-Liberalism" it is just the main form and tennant of Liberalism.

[LoganAlbright]

As a libertarian anarchist who does value freedom above all other virtues, the idea that radical feminists value freedom too highly is the most laughable thing I’ve ever heard.

[warriorpoet]

Feminism was always going to go this way. It was built in to its very fabric.

Feminism is about the freedom to have children as well as not. A lot of women are able to have children thanks to the feminist movement enabling women to enter the workplace to get jobs in the first place. Families can’t survive on a single income anymore, so without feminism there’d be hardly any babies at all!

[williammaxwell]

Obligations start with obligations to ourselves; if we wish to view ourselves, and have others view us as we would view ourselves, we need to recognise that all people have "obligations" to and for the society they live in

[H.Hardrada]

I would disagree slightly. I dont think the driving factor is licentiousness, but rather a virulent ego on the side of feminists.

I didn't marry a Man/Woman....I married a Woman Woman ....a Proverbs 31:10-41 Woman.

[ZimbaZumba]

Brilliant commentary. The extreme of this is the Maoist uniforms worn by the Chinese,

[michaelgonzalez]

Why don't conservatives talk about women dressing and wanting to be men? Why is this acceptable to them?

[allen_p]

It's not Freedom, it's Anarchy.
