I'd be curious to see what would happen if the need arose for a conscription army..........a draft.
I can see the justification for it now: "JOIN THE ARMY! You aren't busy anyway..."
There is much wisdom in your words.
When men start being heard, the establishment usualy do something like this.
With any war the winners are usualy the fems, the last war was a perfect example of this.
The wealth of nations died on foreign battlefields fighting brothers they did not want to hate, for a cause that alott of them knew nothing about.
The fems gained emmancipation, we men lost everything, our fathers, sons, uncles, grandfathers, we lost precious rights, and even our dignity.
The first world war promised 'A war to end all wars' the second 'A land fit for hero's' those promises were broken. It was all lies, and who benefited?
Interesting. I've recently been considering that history from a slightly different perspective. I'd been reading this piece:-
THE FRAUD OF FEMINISM BY E. BELFORT BAX from 1913. It occured to me that we live in similar times. The world of 1913 had been through a period of globalism and economic rationalism. The telegraph, telephone, industrialisation and transport were causing rapid change within and between cultures. Feminism was rampant.
Then for three decades it all fell apart. World war, depression and another world war later and the world was a very different place. The cold war put paid to any real advance in globalisation and, to a point, economic rationalism. Industrialisation was enhanced by the wars(who said war ain't good for business). Feminism retreated behind the iron curtain for a quarter century.
Sometimes I fear we're destined to repeat it all again - a scary thought given the speed with which we could vaporise everything.
Anyway, in considering those wars, I came to the opposite conclusion to your's. ie That those conflicts stopped feminism in it's tracks.
Maybe those who believe feminism is a product of too many bored western women have it right. Those early 70s feminists were not women who lived through those conflicts. In fact they lived the most comfortable lives that any human beings have led in all of history. They had no idea of the brutality the vast majority of humans do and have experienced. Nor had they any concept of how quickly a seemingly civilised culture can degenerate into anarchy. Their mothers understood this and understood the value of men the better for it. Rather than the cause of war those men were responsible for keeping brutality AWAY from their doorstep.
