Writing my Senior Thesis on How Feminism is Destroying the West

[Krusyos]

That's a good way to piss off the entire faculty and get expelled. Sell out and write it on black children.

It's a high school class in a conservative-leaning Christian school. I already passed the subject by my teacher and he said it looks great.

I'd argue that feminism is merely a symptom of other things that are really destroying the West.

Is anyone willing to read my preliminary confirmatio? I will pm it to you if you say yes. I would just post it up here but I don't want my teacher finding this account by accident.

I'd like to read it.

A better one to write might be how feminism is destroying relations between the sexes and bringing back Victorian prudishness. We just talked about this in a thread the other day.

Although if you've already started I can see why you wouldn't want to change topics.

One thing I've found most interesting is that most of the books on anti-feminism I have seen were written by women, not men.

A quick update for you guys. I decided that "feminism is destroying the west" is a bit too big, so I'm narrowing it down onto defining what the masculine gender role is. I may even whittle it down further by focusing on the classical idea of "virtue" and how it originally only applied to men. I have a nice list of 20 books I'm in the process of acquiring that will hopefully make me well educated on the biology of gender in the brain.

Wow, this is really impressive. You'll be able to discuss this stuff better than 99.9% of people out there and see the whole historical framework looking backwards.

There are too many angles to tackle. But I like the fact tat you are ambitious to take it on!

I'd start with the book "Men on Strike" by forensic psychologist Helen Smith (Phd). What she means is that under feminism, men don't get the rewards of regular sex for supporting children, for instance, that traditional marriage promises. Therefore, men are being rational actors in not marrying as much at all anymore. Marriage it too one-sided. Divorce is fiscal rape - with almost none of the rewards of being a parent. Women can have it all! - but men get screwed.

Smith has also written at her web site for years, and at pjmedia.com, a column more recently.

You can also search Unuiversity of Tennessee Law Prof Glenn Reaynolds web site for his snarky links to the biology of sex, marriage and dating, and rape, if these are the angles you need to go to support your thesis - at his aggregator web site, instapundit.com.

(Helen is Glenn's wife, by the way.)

Good luck!
