The Radical Feminist Movement In America

August 23rd, 2014

Preface: I realize the title might connote misogyny but that certainly is neither the case nor the purpose of this blog.  Rather, I feel that it’s important to understand the pervasiveness and consequences of Cultural Marxism in America today and the radical feminist movement is a powerful group based upon and significantly influenced by its insidious ideology. *Marxism as used herein is actually Cultural Marxism, developed circa 1921, at the Frankfurt School in Frankfurt Germany by German intellectuals. Soon therafter it replaced Karl Marx's Economic Marxism because it was ineffective. 

The radical feminist movement is a major component of the Marxist’s continuing social revolution to destroy America’s culture and traditions then supplant them with their ideology. Their revolution is based on a matriarchal theory wherein females dominate American culture while males are relegated to subservient roles.

The Movement Accelerates: The radical feminist movement gained momentum during the ‘60s counter culture revolution at which time its slogan, “all life is political” was adopted. It was taken from a quote by Antonio Gramsci, 1891-1937, an Italian Marxist intellectual and politician who was instrumental in contributing to the basic tenets of Marxism.

Influence and Effects: Since the mid 60s the movement has intensified to the point where the feminization of American culture is almost complete. Examples of its broad influence include the following:

• Major television shows and movies include a female power figure while their plots and characters emphasize the male’s inferiority and the female’s superiority
• Movies, television shows and commercials often portray males as idiots while young men are often being portrayed as lazy slackers who love to party and chase women
• An obvious heterosexual virile male is typically portrayed as an ignorant, crude, beer swilling lout at a NASCAR or other such event
• Traditional figures of masculine power, e.g., super heroes, rugged cowboys and cops are portrayed as part of the gay culture
• The military continues to expand opportunities for women that have been accompanied by double standards and then lowered standards causing a decline in enlistment of young men
• Government-mandated employment preferences and practices that benefit women and use the threat of “sexual harassment” charges as a weapon to keep men in line
• Women’s gender studies are proliferating in academia; affirmative action is applied directly or indirectly in admissions and employment
• Affirmative action and sensitivity training relative to women in the workplace are mandatory in the public sector and dominant in the private sector
• Public schools are increasingly emphasizing feminist “self awareness” and “self-esteem” while learning fundamental disciplines of education are in rapid decline
• Presidential candidates pander to the women vote by being portrayed as soft, gentle, emotion-driven men sufficiently in touch with their feelings whereby all women across America would feel “comfortable” in their care
• The media sees today’s man as a touchy-feely subspecies lacking in confidence, bowing to the radical feminist agenda, and a product of Hollywood, TV sitcoms, movies, and political pundits on talk shows
• Today’s magazines for men, e.g., Esquire, GQ, and Verge are geared towards a feminized male whose interests lie in new fragrances, beauty products and procedures, effeminate styled clothing and jewelry, and generally in appearing pretty while the rugged guy of old in denim jeans is passé.

The Origin: In order to better understand this trend of feminization by radical feminists seeking to destroy their perceived male-dominated hierarchy it is important to know its history, the underlying ideology, and the pervasiveness of Marxism, i.e., today’s Multiculturalism or Progressivism, as set forth in this blog. I’ve written extensively on Marxism and its founders at the Frankfurt School. Detailed information is available at http://suthenboy.com/blog_archive.htm.

The founding Cultural Marxists believed that human society was divided into two basic groups: the privileged oppressor and the marginalized oppressed that included not only those who were economically oppressed, but also women, racial minorities and criminals. The key component in their goal to destroy the culture of Western Civilization was to reverse the correlation of power from the privileged to the marginalized. The Marxist would then exploit the previously oppressed sub-groups to further propagate their toxic ideology.

Women were the most significant of the marginalized sub groups because they comprised the largest potential social and political constituency to diffuse the ideology and accordingly became a major target of exploitation.

Matriarchy: The Frankfurt School strongly promoted matriarchy and posited that the concept of authoritarian personality was a product of a patriarchal family with the male in a dominant position. This condition was anathema to them and their solution was as follows:

• Replace patriarchy with matriarchy
• Replace the traditional roles of men and women with the single role of androgyny

In order to reverse their perceived imbalance of power between sexes psychological techniques for changing personalities were developed for the purpose of emasculating the male and subordinating him to the female.

Psychology of Critical Theory: The psychological concept developed to achieve their goal and aid in facilitating America’s destruction was Critical Theory, an arcane term that remained unknown to the public. It’s sole purpose is to criticize and is used in conjunction with political correctness to force compliance with a desired position by viciously and relentlessly criticizing any opposition until it’s ultimately eliminated.

Raymond Raehn, a noted author and expert on the Frankfurt School, said this about Critical Theory relative to psychology:

“Critical Theory as applied to mass psychology has led to the deconstruction of gender in the American culture. Following Critical Theory, the distinction between masculinity and femininity will disappear. The traditional roles of the mothers and fathers are to be dissolved so that patriarchy will be ended. Children are not to be raised according to their biological genders and gender roles according to their biological differences. This reflects the Frankfurt School rationale for the disintegration of the traditional family”.

The Boomer’s Influence: The Marxists’ goal of emasculating the male by using Critical Theory was propagated through America by elite Boomers that were unwitting acolytes of the Frankfurt School’s founders and in particular, Herbert Marcuse, one of its founding members who relocated to the US in 1933. Marcuse was a professor at various elite American universities and was known as the guru of the 1960’s counter culture movement. He was very influential in fanning the flames of the students’ rebellion and along with other subversive activities passionately promoted matriarchal superiority under the guise of women’s liberation. Marcuse coined the infamous phrase “make love not war”.

Since the 1960’s the same elite Boomers of that generation have assiduously sown the toxic seeds of Marxist ideology, which they knew as political correctness, throughout America in the spirit of social revolution and transformation. Those seeds have bloomed and America has experienced the intended dramatic cultural transformation. During that time the ubiquitous and destructive terms 'affirmative action', 'tolerance', 'multiculturalism', progressivism', “'nclusion”' and 'diversity' were spawned from the systematic and irreversible infusion of discrimination, civil rights, women’s rights, and other such minority rights into American culture.

Breaking Down Barriers: In his eye opening book, “The Dictatorship of Virtue: Multiculturalism and the Battle for America’s Future”, noted journalist and expert on Multiculturalism Richard Bernstein wrote the following:

"During the past several decades the Marxist revolutionary process for restructuring American society has centered on race and sex warfare with the goal of destroying the hegemony of white males. To accomplish this, all barriers to the introduction of more women and minorities throughout the “power structure” are to be brought down by all means available. Laws and lawsuits, intimidation, and demonizing of white males as racists, fascists, and sexists are pursued through the mass media and the universities. The psycho–dynamic of the revolutionary process aims for psychic disempowerment – decapitation – of those who oppose".

The foregoing clearly exemplifies the use of political correctness and critical theory as mechanisms for catalyzing the transfer of power from the dominant oppressor, i.e., White male, to the subordinate oppressed women and minorities as envisioned by the founding Marxists. This shift has enabled the “oppressed victim’s” cause to become dominant and enabled them to begin rejecting traditional culture where the White male was dominant.

In recent times no one has done more to further this transfer of power by all means necessary than Obama and his congressional sycophants. Specifically, he has consistently directed his racist AG stooges to abuse the legal process by suing for words and actions they deem to be discriminatory.

Motion Pictures and Television: An enormous amount of power and influence is reposed in the hands of the overwhelmingly progressive television and motion picture industries. Specifically, they are major facilitators in the movement to emasculate White males because of their capability to reach and deliver any desired message to a vast audience through multiple sources readily available to them.

Television can easily and often does portray males as buffoons, gays, and trannies in popular shows that are then broadcast ad nauseam to a massive target audience. Sustained repetition ensures that a mental saturation point is reached and the intended male image is accepted as fact without the audience realizing what has occurred. This is the fundamental psychology of repetitious rote learning and mind conditioning that Marxists and their acolytes have successfully used for years.

Likewise, the motion picture industry can cast a male in the role of a moron, geek, effeminate man, gay, etc., while the female portrays the power character and achieve the desired results. A perfect example was the blockbuster movie Gravity starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. Bullock portrays a scientist on her first space journey and is cast as the heroine power figure while Clooney portrays a seasoned astronaut cast as a hapless buffoon.

The motion picture industry historically cast male stars that were virile looking in tough guys roles. That ilk included Humphrey Bogart, James Dean, Burt Lancaster, Marlon Brando, Sean Connery, John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, and Russell Crowe to name a few. Today effeminate runts, e.g., Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Leo DiCaprio, George Clooney, and Denzel Washington, whose virility is exemplified by yelling at paparazzi, are cast in those roles. Not only do they feminize their character, but are typically subservient to a strong female role. Acting ability in other roles notwithstanding, however, they’re performances as virile tough guys and super-heroes beating the devil out of realistically appearing bad guys are pure comedic farce and defy the wildest imagination. Consider this image of tough guys: Clint Eastwood juxtaposed with Leo DiCaprio.

The forgoing represents another sphere of American culture and tradition that has been successfully attacked by Marxist and their acolytes, i.e., progressives, in their continuing cultural revolution. Power historically vested in males is being transferred to females and other minorities clearly evincing a rejection of traditional societal roles as envisioned by the founding Cultural Marxists.

well written article and believable I disagree with Ken 9/30/14 American culture will erode eventually into women in far more power positions than white men, better educated and in control of political power I am troubled by the number of white men who support the feminist movement as if somehow it empowers their soul the bible clearly states that it is sinful for men to be effeminate I will continue to follow you and read your blogs

While I agree with several of your points, I also believe that feminisim is a momentary fad in history doomed to fail in time as our creator created men and he created women, the stronger and the weaker, the care taker and the care giver, instincts will take over and the male role will always dominate. These women who bleat feminisim are obviously needing something better to fill their days doing. Life has become to easy for everyone, not just women. Things always have a way of leveling out and balancing. No sense getting excited over what cannot be changed at present.
