When I consider many of the long term implications of what the women's
movement has allowed itself to become, of which the example of the T-shirts is
just one of a multitude of examples, I cannot but believe that it is
inevitable, before the middle of this century has arrived, that women will be
looked upon with wary, scornful contempt. In fact many of the most scornful
misogynists of the future will be women themselves. I have already
encountered evidence of this.
Under its contemporary banner of 'feminism', the women's movement has long
since crossed that divide between just cause and fanatical creed motivated
primarily by blind hatred.
History has repeatedly demonstrated that once the evolution of any form of
socio-political belief witnesses a transformation of this kind, the final
outcome is the antithesis of the horrendous fantasies of the ideologues.
Feminism will completely destroy the position of women in many Western
cultures. This may, perhaps, sound unbelievable. But I do realistically
foresee an outcome in which future historians will be analysing the gradual
change of the women's movement - from the suffragettes, to womens liberation,
to equity and radical feminism - and will be acknowledging a situation in
which the earliest demands and achievements, of women's suffrage and equal
property rights, will have been sacrificed and lost on the alter of extremism.
