Equality Is Not Liberation

Mary Malone writes:
The so-called Women's Movement has been taken over by State Feminists. Feminism has been twisted, transformed and institutionalised by the bureaucratic ethos of spite and resentment known as Equality.
At one time Feminists wanted to overthrow patriarchal power structures. Now they want to join them. We want to wield the whip too, they cry out.
Over the past two hundred years of the Liberal State men have been conscripted, militarised, 'educated' in regimentation at so called schools, and indoctrinated into the principles of hierarchy. Men were taught that above them were corporals and captains - the teachers, the managers, the owners, the civil servants. And at home they were taught that they were the corporals and the captains, and that Woman was merely a foot soldier, one whose legal and social rights were removed by the Liberal State.
Now technological advances mean that women can be conscripted too. Autonomous woman, the queen of home and family, must be abolished. Liberated from her friend, Man, she must stand alone to face Authority, reduced to a role of consumer and wage earner. Her children are sent to nursery and then go school. Her man, her oppressor, she is led to believe, lives elsewhere, thinking only of his own needs. Her new husband who pays for her and protects her (for by definition the new woman is more than equal as a victim) is the State.
She is not free, no! But she is equal to man in his degradation and servility.
