Denmark ranks as having the happiest people in the world; I don't want to move there; what's wrong with me? Maybe, it's the same thing that makes me not want to go back 30-40 years as a woman?

They even got the local town Vet (a really old guy at the time, with old time values) to CONVINCE me that I could NEVER NEVER NEVER get into Vet School.

I never finished the Cosmo schooling. I HATED it! (I've got too much tomboy in me) All the while, I was attending Cosmetology School, I was also constantly reminded that hooking a doctor or lawyer for a husband could be my greatest achievement.

Several of my female cousins succeeded with such. I didn't. I STILL RESENT being denied the opportunity of Vet School. The elder women of my family were NOT supportive about any decisions I made, because it went against the grain.

You only have yourself to blame if you refused to look beyond your family at the message from the wider society, which, by the 1970's, was pretty encouraging of women's education.

Do you work outside of the house? Own a credit card? Car? Home?
Thank the women's movement.
Oh, don't get me wrong, there are numerous female misogynists on this board.

White people across the world are subfertile = they are decreasing in number. This is symptomatic of a people, an ethnic group, a culture, that is sick and dying. I say remove the poisons (and the poisonous influences) from society so that we don't go extinct by the end of the century.

OK, I'll bite. What are the "poisons", and the "poisonous influences"?

I agree that feminism is very poisonous and the worst thing invented. Over 80% of Western women have lost their femininity due to this propaganda.

There's a lot of white knights in this society who degrade real men as being misogynists. There's real women who hate feminism too. I praise the authors.

Never than in such unpleasant contexts are the words of Samuel Johnson from 250 years ago, properly understood and appreciated for their elegant use of the conditional, more appropriate:

It is better that some should be unhappy than that none should be happy, which would be the case in a general state of equality.

The new age ideologies and lifestyles not conducive to 'family' and 'reproduction'.
