The Diametrically Opposed Relationship Between Feminism and Social Cohesion

It has recently become more noteworthy just how utterly destructive feminism is. For a while, as people began to notice the destructive effects of feminism, they would moderately critique it by saying it was not always this bad. However, there was never any true virtue in feminism. Of course, this is not to say that the equal moral concern of women is not of importance – emphatically no. Rather, this is to say that feminism has contributed more harm than good, and even the good it is associated with has diabolical and concerning origins. And so, today, we light to address this in light of the diametrically opposed relationship between feminism and social cohesion.

THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT: WHY EVEN EARLY FEMINISM IS NOT INHERENTLY GOOD

So, let’s begin with some historical context, and this aimed at refuting the often moderate critique of feminism, which claims that ealy feminism was good and mild, while recent waves of feminism have birthed extreme feminist inclinations that are the problem. And I should state categorically (in this portion of our discussion) that the history of feminism is quite notably skewed, in that it has been written with a presumption of correctness and necessity throughout history.

In mediaeval Europe, women were denied the right to own property, to study, or to participate in public life. At the end of the 19th century in France, they were still compelled to cover their heads in public, and, in parts of Germany, a husband still had the right to sell his wife.

Even as late as the early 20th century, women could neither vote nor hold elective office in Europe and in most of the United States (where several territories and states granted women’s suffrage long before the federal government did so). Women were prevented from conducting business without a male representative, be it father, brother, husband, legal agent, or even son.

It was against this social context that the first wave of feminism is largely said to have come – but that is not entirely true and we’ll proceed to address this. In any case, the dominant narrative is that the first wave of feminism emerged as…read more
