The basic premise of State Feminism is that men oppress women - that is all men oppress all women. Men's treatment of women is unfair. When my grandmother stopped paid work upon marriage at the age of 23, she was being oppressed by her husband who continued to work five and a half days a week till the day he died.
Equality has come to mean sameness, and everything becomes a matter for grievance.
But, in the past, equality meant something different. It meant that we were all equal before the law of the land. Yet, oddly enough, State Feminist laws such as the Equality Act in England (or the dreadful Law of Gender Violence in Spain) actively discriminate against a portion of the population, namely men.
Even on their own terms the proponents of modern day 'Equality' are profoundly unequal. They simply want state appointed grievance groups to take up positions in management, lording it over their less than equal underlings amongst the peasantry.
It is impossible to have equality in a hierarchy.
By nature a hierarchy is unequal. The best one can hope for is equality before the law.
The ideology of 'Equality' is a manoeuvre by ruling groups to divide and rule the populace. It pits man against woman, woman against man, and a whole host of victim groups against the indigenous population and against each other.
A house divided falls.
Traditional English thought ran along lines of individuality, responsibility and independence. But now we are categorised, self pitying and servile.
In the past all the English, whether rich or poor, counted themselves as free. And this freedom, more important than wealth, was based on equality before the law.
In those days nobody expected to be equal in the modern sense. Boys could be boys and girls could be girls, free to be the individuals who they were, to rise or to fall, to sleep or to achieve, to respect and to be respected.
