SHALL WE CONCEDE FAMINIST'S BASIC PREMISES
Feminists blame everything on the Patriarchy. What are the advantages of patriarchy? 98% of combat deaths are men, 98% of work deaths are men, 76% of murder victims are men, 76% of suicide victims are men. Men live eight years less. Doubtless women had it hard. The question is – compared to what? Men had it harder then women. Take the Taliban as an extreme case. Under the Taliban men provided for women. Feminists do not provide for men. Under Feminism men retain all their duties and none of their privileges. Feminists compared housewives to maids. First of all a maid's title deserves respect and second of all if a maid does not work well her wage can be lowered or she can be fired; if a housewife did not do her work in the nineteenth century, her husband could not fire her, he still had to support her by law at a standard of living no maid could ever dream of. The point is, Feminista movement was founded on false propaganda to begin with, basic assumptions that do not hold water. As Aristotle said "The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal". This can be interpreted in two ways, both of which are valid in this case. One, there is nothing more degrading then being artificially forced to treat someone who is not an authority in some field as one's equal in that field. And two, as Samuel Johnson said, "Nature has given women so much power that the law has very wisely given them little." Men's and women's power was balanced to begin with. After legal equality - women have an upper hand!
So there are two ways by which equality has created inequality. 1) Men and women are unequal in authority, so pretending like they are is disrespectful to men. 2) Men and women had equal power. Equality led to women having more power.
