Oh, I definitely agree that it's gotten worse when it comes to relationships. I am one of those younger women and...yeah...it's rough. Thanks for your perspective.

It's at least nice that people these days have the Internet, so they can learn all kinds of information. Women can learn about feminism any time they like, as long as they can access it.

I don't know how it went from what I experienced to what you're experiencing, but I think it was deliberate. I think that women being free to be themselves, and to live life as men had lived from time immemorial, was too much for men, and hence 3rd Wave "feminism" which is actually a men's rights/demands movement.

But there's also the profit motive: hormone manufacturers, cosmetic companies, apparel manufacturers - they did not benefit from no-makeup, old jeans & a T shirt, stay away from chemicals, 2nd wave feminism, so they had to kill it under the guise of progress.

3rd Wave "feminism" which is actually a men's rights/demands movement.

Maybe it should be called Men's Feminism! I've had way too many run-ins with the manosphere (mostly on blogs about economics, politics, and other topics that should NOT turn into manosphere crap) and they absolutely hate that women now have choices. If women had few choices, more would marry undesirable men and wait on them. Instead, women aren't forced into that, leaving so many men unable to get access to the female body or be waited on. So they're all over the internet claiming that single women are miserable. "Enjoy your box wine and cats! You're miserable because you didn't have children!" They can't stand seeing women free to make their own decisions.
