[color=maroon] Feminism, Sexual revolution and the rise of promiscuity

Coinciding with second-wave feminism, the women's liberation movement initiated in the early 1960s, was aided by feminist ideologues in their mutual struggle to challenge traditional ideas regarding female sexuality and queer sexuality.

The introduction of the first oral contraceptive pill in 1960 started the public talking about sex and contraception. The oral contraceptive pill eliminated the fear of pregnancy, allowing them to engage in sex for pleasure.

Many feminist thinkers believed that assertion of the primacy of sexuality would be a major step towards the ultimate goal of women's liberation, thus women were urged to initiate sexual advances, enjoy sex and experiment with new forms of sexuality.

The feminist movements insisted and focused on the sexual liberation for women, both physical and psychological. The pursuit of sexual pleasure for women was the core ideology, which subsequently was to set the foundation for female independence.

This gave rise to modern birth control, homosexuality, marriage and divorce, pornography, hookup culture , and sex education.

The Sexual revolution open the way for books, magazines, and movies to begin referring to and showing sex in explicit ways that were once censored. Without these barriers, sex became a hot topic and people began to talk about the beginning of a "sexual revolution" during the decade.

Public displays of nudity increased; for example among crowds at rock concerts, some women would bare their breasts. Rock stars sang about sex and some exposed themselves on stage. Madonna was a champion in promoting promiscuity.

Promiscuous sexual encounters, or sexual experiences with multiple partners, increased and women began marrying later and having several sexual partners before marriage( after they hit the world).

Singles bars opened and drew people looking for sexual partners, personal ads with requests for sexual partners appeared in newspapers, and a controversial, highly publicized practice called swinging ( practice of couples switching sexual partners) started. Homosexuality also became more accepted and visible to the public.[/color]

[color=maroon] The other side of the coin: The women's liberation movement

While the women's rights movement pushed for legislation through political lobbying and organized action groups , a more informal variant of the women's movement also developed, especially among young women.
While older women concerned themselves with legal issues and discriminatory banking and education issues, younger women sought for social equality. These younger women sought changes in the private, domestic lives of women.

The fundamental change desired by women's liberationists was an end to women's subordination to men. Women began to push for men to help with such tasks as housework, meal preparation, and childcare, for example. Women also began to resist the standards of beauty that it reduces women to sex objects.

Organizations were created to address a variety of women's issues, such as legalization of abortion and childcare.

" No-fault " unilateral divorce became legal and easier to obtain in many countries during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.The idea of marriage being outdated came from the development of casual sex between Americans.

At consciousness-raising events women came to realize that their personal experiences were not unique and that together with other women—their "sisters"—they could transform the larger political and social setting .

This gave birth to the sisterhood. [/color]

[color=maroon] The female discontent
Women's concerns about legal and workplace discrimination could be traced back to World War II , which had brought with it increased employment opportunities for women. By creating a campaign to get women to take traditionally male jobs, the U.S. government enticed women to join the war effort.

As men went off to war, women by the thousands dropped their children off with family or at the newly created federal child-care facilities and spent their days as policewomen, firefighters, and factory workers, among other things.

By doing "man's work," women enjoyed the increased responsibility and higher pay offered in these traditionally male positions. When veterans returned after the war, however, women were forced out of those jobs that had historically been reserved for men.

The federal government closed the federal childcare facilities and encouraged women to return home, even though a 1944 Women's Bureau study reported that 80 percent of working women would have liked to keep their wartime positions.

While many women returned to lives as homemakers, devoting themselves full time to being wives and giving birth to a generation of children known as "the baby boomers," those who remained in the workforce saw their employment opportunities limited to less well paying jobs historically reserved for females, such as secretarial or teaching positions. Professionally trained women who remained in traditionally male positions earned less than their male co-workers.

By the 1960s, women began to pressure employers and the government for equal treatment and pay. This led to many women rights group like NOW which fought for equal treatment and pay. [/color]

[color=maroon] Second wave
The second wave feminism is the era where things started getting messed up. The equal rights they demand ended up ecploiting men and emasculating them. This is one of the reasons the Redpill exist.

By the late 1960s many women joined together to create the second wave of the women's movement in order to push for more equality in their lives.

In part inspired by the civil rights movement of the late 1950s and 1960s, which drew attention to gaining rights for African Americans , women advocated for equal rights under the law and in the workplace and also for the liberation of women from stifling stereotypes in domestic and other cultural situations.

In 1963, Betty Friedan 's book The Feminine Mystique helped voice the discontent that American women felt. The book is widely credited with sparking the beginning of second-wave feminism in the United States. Within ten years, women made up over half the First World workforce.

Second-wave feminists see women's cultural and political inequalities as inextricably linked and encourage women to understand aspects of their personal lives as deeply politicized and as reflecting sexist power structures.

The feminist activist and author Carol Hanisch coined the slogan "The Personal is Political", which became synonymous with the second wave.

[/color]

[color=maroon] First-wave feminism

First-wave feminism was a period of activity during the 19th and early-20th centuries. It focused on the promotion of equal contract, marriage, parenting, and property rights for women. This is what introduced the tender years doctrine for child custody and gave women the right of custody of their children for the first time.

With the turn of the 19th century, activism focused primarily on gaining political power, particularly the right of women's suffrage (the right to vote and stand for parliamentary office) , though some feminists were active in campaigning for women's sexual, reproductive , and economic rights too.


Feminists continued to campaign for the reform of family laws which gave husbands control over their wives. Feminists have also worked to abolish the "marital exemption" in rape laws which precluded the prosecution of husbands for the rape of their wives.

Feminism was still weak until the aftermath of World War 2. It is during the baby boom period, that feminism waned in importance. Wars (both World War I and World War II) had seen the provisional emancipation of some women, but post-war periods signalled the return to conservative roles.

[color=maroon] 62.) FEMINISM AND PROMISCUITY
What is Feminism?
According to wikipedia, Feminism is a range of social movements, political movements, and ideologies that aim to define and establish the political, economic, personal, and social equality of the sexes .

Feminism claims that societies prioritize the male point of view, and that women are treated unjustly within those societies.

Waves of feminism
The history of the modern western feminist movement is divided into four "waves" viz:

[color=maroon] ANOTHER PREDATORY FEMALE
It’s heartening to see that men are wising up to the cruel, calculating games of women:

A man who picked up the courage to go on his first ever Tinder date after being ‘superliked’ by a seemingly-eager woman, has told how the evening ended in total misery after the unnamed lady behaved so rudely that he ran away without telling her, he walked out and left her ass with the bill.
He shared that despite their chemistry prior, the date took a turn when the girl arrived to the fancy restaurant in sweatpants(gym clothes) , did not look at him once, and ordered the most expensive items on the menu, totalling $150( =N57k).

According to the guy:

We met up tonight at a restaurant I’d picked out. She didn’t look at me, wore sweatpants, and immediately ordered a $13 appetizer. Okay, not a deal-breaker. I tried starting a conversation a few times, but she only gave one word answers. Then, she orders a $25 steak and $22 crab legs. She drank four $9 glasses of wine“She talked more to the waiter.”

I got the steak, and a few drinks myself. Right about the time our main courses arrived, I’d pretty much given up. As we were finishing, I excused myself and went to the restroom. While I was in there, a light bulb went off. I left the bathroom, headed out the door, got in my car, and drove home. Now, here I am. She messaged me a few times, called me a “fucker” about twelve times.

Women choose their targets wisely, in true Predatory Female fashion. She probably saw him on Twitter and thought he’d be so thrilled to have been “picked” she could get a night of free fine dining out of him. And he would scurry off after the date and she would lie and say she was “going home” while no doubt hopping on the cock carousel that night with a full belly. But Dinner Guy caught on to her game quickly, especially when she came to their “date” dressed for the gym.

The Biggest culprits are nice guys. Women would feign interest in him, use him for food and entertainment for the night, then turn cold as the night prematurely drew to a close. The next day, phone calls would go unanswered.
It’s at this point a man should know he’s being played.[/color]

Fecking beeches

[color=maroon] PREDATORY FEMALE
A friend of mine once shared a story with me about a working class man who was getting unfettered attention from a particular lady.

At first, the man was excited that a girl was going crazy for him because she must have loved him darely. She calls him regularly and have been making attempt to come to his house to bang him. The way the girl was interested in banging him started to make her look suspicious.

He started resisting her moves but she kept coming strong and use any slight opportunity to infer sex. He started suspecting her of trying to infect him with disease. To cut the story short. He refused to have sex with her.

He later discovered, a guy got her pregnant so she is trying to have sex with him to pin the pregnancy on the Innocent man. [/color]

PREDATORY FEMALES IN RELATIONSHIPS ...

The stories about predatory Females in Divorce i pointed out are mostly from the western world.

In Nigeria, we still have privileges as a male in the society and as such those riducolous divorce laws do not yet have effect in Nigeria. However, one needs to be aware of these schemes for our world is changing. We do not know the future laws that may be enforced in Nigeria.

baiaon:
Thesame movie director still got re-married.That means his experience thought him nothing.This is why I don't have any sympathy for men who experience difficulties in their relationships with women

Lemme share a story with you.

Regex:
Marriage is business.

Marriage as well as relationship has always being a business. She gives top tier men sex for their commitment.

PrinceofAgoAre:
D western judicial system isnt fair to their men at all. D female files 4 divorce, d men pays a huge sum. D male files 4 divorce, he still pays a fee. I see no reason why i would have all dz money nd still want to get married. Baby mama all d way it is 4 me.

That is what led to MGTOW, men are rising up and refusing to marry due to their biased Family laws.

CosmicPhoenix:

Just so you know, there's no female billionaire anywhere in the world that made her fortune from scratch,she probably made her money through one of these means
1.Through Divorce Settlements
2.Through Inheritance
3.Through Family Connections

Exactly

PrinceofAgoAre:
doest one still pay 4 child support after divorce.

holy hell, america should reform their judicial system. It aint fair.

Its because of the divorce that the man has to pay child support because the mother always demand for full custody of the child.

Let’s look at another definition of slavery.

Slavery is a legal or economic system in which principles of property law are applied to humans allowing them to be classified as property, to be owned, bought and sold accordingly, and they cannot withdraw unilaterally from the arrangement. While a person is enslaved, the owner is entitled to the productivity of the slave’s labor, without any remuneration.

Being forced to pay a woman in order to stay out of jail means men have become property owned by the state, as men are bought by the court system and sold by women into their bondage – and of course men cannot withdraw from the arrangement. A man’s owner, the state, entitles itself as well as his ex to the productivity of the newly minted slave’s labor for 18 years or even for a lifetime in the case of alimony, forcing payments to be made to a totally unaccountable “mother” or ex.

Women have the right to choose, therefore men must be given the right to choose in the interest of equality

[color=maroon] A SURGEON'S STORY
In fact, a recent expose by an ex prison guard tells the story of a surgeon whose life was destroyed by a predatory female, a man who went from saving lives to doing work in harsh conditions for low pay:

The very worst case I saw as a prison guard was a surgeon, yes an American surgeon who was one of the most respectable guys I ever met, hard working, worked until 2 a.m. 6 days a week to save people’s lives. With all the work hours, his wife got “lonely” and started sleeping around, eventually having 2 kids that weren’t even his as he found out later.

And then she filed for divorce so she could take the surgeon’s money, blow it on cocaine and stupid luxuries for herself without doing any work herself (that’s the real destination where the “child support” money goes) and sleep around with her favorite Chad of the week, all on her hard working surgeon ex-husband’s money.

She won an insanely high judgment in a US family court, millions of dollars in child support and “alimony” that the poor surgeon would have to pay. Since by the court’s judgment, “she should be entitled to maintain the same standard of living after the divorce”, even though this gold-digger is the one who filed for the divorce to steal from her hard-working husband who was actually saving people’s lives.

After a few years of doing this, and losing his house and his nice car, the poor surgeon injured his back while helping a patient onto an operating table. He had to cut down his hours as a surgeon, and went to the divorce court asking for a reduction in the support demands, and ask that his lazy, entitled ex-wife get a job herself.

But the court refused using the same delusion filled imputation bullshit they pull on other ex-husbands, claiming he could somehow make millions of extra dollars using his surgical wizard skills somehow. Which he couldn’t do in reality with his injured back, something the family court judge couldn’t or wouldn’t even try to understand.

So then now the alimony and child support were demanding 120% of his income. You see, the family court system will never let you off the treadmill once they target you, especially if you earn a lot of money. Eventually he drained his savings and retirement, couldn’t make the payments at all—and he wound up in the prison where I was a corrections officer.

The corrupt American family court-media-feminist-academia cultural Marxist-big business-prison industrial complex had worked perfectly to ruin this poor man, and what a prize they had.

A dedicated, hard working US surgeon, saving lives every day, drained of his money and reduced to poverty by a gold-digging, spoiled greedy bimbo who divorced him due to his very dedication, had kids with other men to force him to pay bullshit “child support” in addition to never-stopping alimony, his assets taken by his gold-digging ex wife and the state to grease their own corruption, the “child support” in actuality supporting the ex wife’s corrupt, hedonistic lifestyle after divorce.

And then the poor surgeon himself made a literal slave in a US prison, stripped of his license and made a perpetual debtor, worked to the bone but never allowed to profit from his own efforts or hard work. That really is how it works in the US family court and prison system.

That poor surgeon was the worst case we ever saw, made us so mad we were talking about how we were going to “free the Bastille” and start a revolution ourselves to stop all the corruption, Robespierre style. And free all the innocent men, and even some women, who were imprisoned this way, to feed more slaves to the machine.


As this case shows, women have absolute power over men in the court system. A man’s life, liberty and finances are subject to forfeiture by an oppressive, legalistic system simply because he had a failed relationship with an Anglobitch.[/color]

[color=maroon] MODERN DAY SLAVERY

After the sex act, men have absolutely no reproductive rights and few legal rights

Slavery was legally abolished in 1865, but it has been resurrected in the family court system. Men are being forced, by the legal system to make wealth transfer payments to women despite the fact that in the 21st century every female claims to be a Strong, Independent Woman™ who Don’t Need a Man™.

Evidence shows quite the opposite of these bold feminist claims. Women do need a man. At least, a man slave. And they especially need his child support and/or alimony check to clear every month.

The family court system frequently turns men into servants.

What is Slavery?
Let’s look at some definitions of slavery to see if forced child support and alimony payments fit the definition.
How much are men forced to pay into the system? Child support alone averages $500 a month per child, and alimony for a man who makes $5,000 a month would be an additional $1,600 a month payment in most states. These are payments that must be made whether or not he can afford them, whether or not he has a job, and with no regards to his personal health or well-being.

American men are being forced to make a wealth transfers to women under threat of imprisonment and/or having both professional and driver’s licenses revoked, with no accountability on the part of the mother to show that the funds are being spent exclusively for the benefit of the child, or if she even needs the alimony in this age of career girls. [/color]

[color=maroon] How it all started
Alimony was set up in the 50s to help women live on their own after divorce as most women didn’t participate in the workforce and couldn’t support themselves(even then alimony was still BS as women got paid via the man after a divorce but weren’t expected to come back and cook, clean and fvck the man, thus she is still benefiting from what she got during the marriage-provided for- but he isn’t getting his end of the deal anymore).

So why does alimony and divorce rape continue since its an outdated paradigm(as women make up 52% of the workforce, are independent and can support themselves)?

Simple. It’s proven that women spend by far more than men, often on useless consumeristic bullshit, and redistributing the wealth from men to women stimulates the economy through more sales tax and more profits for corporate America.

So women, the government and corporations benefit from this but it’s all at the expense of the man. He is being extorted by women and the government and will go to jail if he refuses to relinquish half of his assets and pay alimony into perpetuity or until she remarries.

Marriage offers a man no added benefit that a relationship can’t but the risks are crippling financially, spiritually, emotionally and physically. And no, a pre-nup won’t save you- judges have to sole discretion to determine what will happen.

How a typical divorce happens

When woman feels she can no longer benefit from her boyfriend or husband, or feels she can branch swing to a more profitable man, she will often cut off sex and become quarrelsome and emotionally detach herself from the relationship – leading to the aforementioned infidelity, substance abuse, lack of commitment, conflict and arguing, and growing apart problems.

An otherwise loyal, well-behaved hubby is going to screw around, get drunk, not be committed, argue with, and grow apart from a mean ass woman. How neat for this woman that by turning into a frigid cunt, thereby estranging her husband she now has ready-made excuses to ditch him in a court of law.

She’s saved face, and she’s conveniently attached the blame for the divorce to her ex – even though she spurred his bad behavior with her own. How’s that for female manipulation?

It all comes back to Briffault’s Law: The female, not the male, determines all the conditions of the animal family. Where the female can derive no benefit from association with the male, no such association takes place. Benefit = money and resources.
[/color]

America has one of the highest rates of divorce in the world.
Considering that 90 percent of divorces are initiated by women, the vast majority of divorces are the woman choosing to leave the man.

Western women are divorce happy, and will divorce their husbands over extremely trivial reasons. The divorce system in America is also extremely biased in women's favor, and many women will divorce their husbands simply to "cash out" (to take all of the man's money and assets).

American women have the worst attitudes in the world.

Pretty much every negative quality you can think of, American women embody it - selfishness, immaturity, narcissism, fake personalities, arrogance, and anger.

I recommend the movie, Marriage story it is a real life account of the divorce a movie director undergo.
