The feminist threat to Western Civilization. By Edward Ring at American Greatness.
Two very significant articles have been published in the last three months (both in Compact magazine):
- Helen Andrews on the great feminization and how it is illegal for women to lose.
- Jacob Savage on the lost generation of white men. (John Carter followed up with a great article on how this led to the great enshitification.)
Edward Ring takes up the baton:
Andrews goes further in her indictment of the anti-male bias that has transformed American institutions. Her opinion as to the consequences is unambiguous. She writes, “If wokeness really is the result of the Great Feminization, then the eruption of insanity in 2020 was just a small taste of what the future holds. Imagine what will happen as the remaining men age out of these society-shaping professions and the younger, more feminized generations take full control.” In case you’re still wondering what she means by that, she writes, as an example, that “the rule of law will not survive the legal profession becoming majority female.”
The statistics offered in these two articles ought to convince any reasonable person that anti-white, anti-male bias is not just distorted fantasies promulgated by opportunistic right-wing demagogues. It is numerically indisputable, and it’s been going on, steadily getting worse, for a long time. It began back in the 1970s with affirmative action, which, in plain English, institutionalized discrimination in favor of less-qualified people if they belonged to “protected status groups.” …
Non-Hispanic white males under 30 in America are now only around 24 percent of the population. And based on the trends cited by Savage and Andrews, their presence in American institutions is not merely whittled down to proportionate representation but disproportionate underrepresentation. …
Fairness and equity? Its gone way too far for that:
It’s gone well beyond the noble sentiment, expressed by Joe Biden in one of his more coherent moments, who said, “What’s wrong with trying to include people of diverse backgrounds?” Underneath that lofty ideal, unfortunately, is a culture that has turned venomously anti-white and anti-male.
This culture, despite some signs of a return to sanity, persists in every aspect of professional and political life. But to comment on the systematic marginalization of white males, to even identify its existence, is to risk losing credibility on whatever else it is you may wish to accomplish. It is not polite to recognize that you are being erased. It is a sign of racist, sexist, paranoid bigotry.
From the other side of this equation, there are no consequences. You may indulge in uninhibited demonization of the white male, and your professional risk is almost negligible.
Bigots always have prepared excuses, which they are usually more than happy to regale you with:
The justification used to hide what is the transactional, economic, hypocritical, opportunistic underbelly of the great war on white men … [is that] they are to blame for everything. The land wasn’t “settled”; it was stolen … We’ll have “stolen land acknowledgements” prior to commencing any public meeting or allowing performers onstage in a theater. We’ll need to come up with reparations and reallocate vast tracts of stolen land to the “first peoples.”
This is one of the core premises of a bigger story. Along with slavery, it’s one of the “original sins” of the white male. Writ large, we bear collective guilt for conquering the world, and now, in penance, we must renounce and relinquish our culture, pride, our agency, and our participation; even our masculinity is toxic. We deserve to be erased. …
In the name of handicapping stronger economic competitors (statistically, white men, especially Jewish white men — see the Nobel Prize winners, for instance), feminists have obtained great jobs for themselves by non-meritocratic means, but have wrecked Western Civilization in the process. We used to be competent and fertile.
This double standard cannot be accepted. These two articles, The Lost Generation and The Great Feminization, describe one of the most significant and rapid transformations of a civilization in the history of the world, and a transformation of this magnitude is not going to end well if only one perspective on its consequences is permissible in polite company or compatible with professional survival. … ..
In a speech Andrews delivered on the topic of the Great Feminization, she offered two solutions. The first was to remove artificial pressures favoring women’s employment by reforming “anti-discrimination” laws and HR mandates. That solution would also go a long way toward eliminating anti-white discrimination. Andrews also proposed we address the “two-income trap,” the cost-of-living increases that have forced millions of women into the workforce.
Why are these solutions so hard to imagine? Why not restore a meritocracy? Why not rediscover the economic model where any person earning an average income can sustain a family? As AI and social media actively melt down our brains, shouldn’t selecting our engineers and teachers, and other professionals based on their individual skill and aptitude become an even more compelling priority? Now more than ever, don’t we need the smartest and hardest-working people, selected based on merit instead of group identity?
It is difficult today to even discuss the feminization of our institutions, a quantitative reality, much less propose a new approach. But the threats of feminization alleged by Andrews are even bigger than the impact it is having on our freedom and creativity as a society. It threatens our survival as a civilization. Women empowered by careers are not typically attracted to men whose careers have been sidelined. Marriages are down. Childbirth is down. Throughout the West, birthrates are so low that entire cultures will be extinct within a few generations. The birth deficit has been accelerating for the last 40 years, but we are only just beginning to talk about it, and there is no mainstream consensus for what to do.
The only acceptable solutions so far are to import replacement populations while replacing jobs with automation, and malign anyone who objects to this as sexist and racist.
The mainstream commentariat in America is literally incapable of honestly addressing the issues that matter in a way that will matter. They deny the existence, much less the harm caused by institutionalized anti-white and anti-male discrimination, feminization of our institutions, the existential threat of extinction-level rates of reproduction, and the inevitable chaos that will result if we continue to import non-white immigrants by the tens of millions who are then taught to resent white men, resent wealth, and view the land they’ve moved to as illegitimately stolen and hence up for grabs. …
And as for discussing this with New Class people? Fuhgeddaboudit.
The number of births to everyone living on the European Continent versus births in the one African nation of Nigeria. In 1950, more than 12 million babies were born in Europe, and fewer than two million were born in Nigeria. In 2026, European mothers had barely 6 million babies, half as many as 75 years ago, while in Nigeria, 7.5 million babies were born. …
Fringe outcasts are carrying the argument:
Andrews and Savage were willing to at least identify what has undermined our country and embittered a generation. That’s as far as they were willing to go.
So far, only outcasts are willing to speculate as to the causes and motivations behind the numbers we see, and even offer solutions to change the trend. Some of these outcasts are extreme; others are genuinely searching with their compassion intact. But all of them, so far, are dismissed as dangerous extremists.
This must change. Time is running out for Western civilization.
