Feminism: From Equity to Psychopathy

The three solutions to the Gender Wars offered by third and fourth wave feminism are:

Standardization: women should retain traditional gender role, one standard should apply to all

Emasculation: men should become more feminine even as women become more masculine (stalled revolution)

Masculinization: women should emulate men and outman them (raunch culture, slut walks).

Consequence:

Marriage, cohabitation, childbirth rates, and even sex fell off a cliff. About one third of women and men are lifelong singles. Another third are involved in ephemeral pseudo-relationships, including dead marriages. 40% are raised in single parent poverty-stricken households, most of them headed by women. 

Men and women walked away.

How did we get here?

Until 17th century enlightenment, men and women shared work and home alike. Muscles provided men with an advantage, so patriarchy was formed.

French revolution and revolutions of 1848 emancipated women for a while and rendered them revolutionaries: they entered the public sphere

As the home was hollowed out, its functions outsourced, work and home became two distinct spheres. 

Work for men was Darwinian jungle and survival of the fittest. Home was the sanctuary. Women's role was to comfort men and socialize boys and girls with traditional gender roles.

Women extended this domesticity to the public sphere, adopting social causes and entering caring professions, like nursing and teaching which used to be male enclaves.

The two world wars pushed women even further into male roles.

The first two waves of feminism were concerned with equity and equality: the franchise; property ownership; access to education, healthcare and the workplace; equal wages; anti-porn and anti-prostitution.

The third wave was about empowerment: women should do whatever made them feel empowered even if it meant conforming to male chauvinistic stereotypes, sex work, and self-objectification via sex and porn, including self-porn and group sex.

Problem is: women want to have the cake and eat it. They want to lead an emancipated, career-centred, and promiscuous lifestyle followed by a reversion to traditional gender roles.

But traditional gender roles depends crucially on purity, especially sexual purity - and on dedication to the domestic sphere. Women gave up the first and, having spent decades as singles, they lack the skillset for domestic, committed, long-term intimacy. Dating is extinct replaced with rare and disappointing hookups, replete with bad sex for women (the orgasm gap).
