I had recently come to realize that the feminist movement is not feminist at all. It is masculinist.

By this I mean, the purpose of Fourth Wave feminism (if you wish to judge not by what they say, but by what they do, and to know the fruits, so to speak, by their fruits) is not to make women legally and culturally equal to men, but to make them be men: that is, to abolish the female from life and thought altogether.

[...]

So, in an effort to break the evil hypnotic spell the feminists have cast over the human race, let us here and now announce a Fifth Wave of feminism, a true feminism, which glorifies womankind and reduces we mere males back into our deservedly lowly position as breadwinners and heads of households, whose mission in life is to cough up money enough to support a wife and kids, and have the wife at home so that hired daycare strangers are not raising them.

[...]

Fifth Wave feminism holds that gay marriage is impermissible, on the grounds that marrying males is a privilege too rarefied for males. You are not good enough to be women, so stop acting like it. (Of course, since no-fault divorce laws gutted the meaning of marriage long ago, this issue is moot.)

Lesbian marriage, while nobler and more understandable, abolishes the distinction of the sexes and is therefore, despite what is seems, also an insult to womanhood, especially to the maternal instinct and role. (Albeit many a sister in Fifth Wave feminism still holds this question not settled.)

Fifth Wave feminism likewise holds that unnatural sexual acts, hereafter to be known by the euphemism, “The Sin of Clinton,” are degrading and insulting to women, on the grounds that the female womb is desecrated and insulted if a male thrusts his male member into any other orifice aside from the life-giving womb: to equate the sacred mystery of femininity with the mere physical sensation of penis gratification is the same as to demean women to the status of sexual toys: it is a mortal insult.

Fifth Wave feminism holds that sterilizing women, even temporarily, and even at their own consent and insistence, is the deepest possible degradation to femininity imaginable. It makes the female not female. It reduces the all-powerful mystery of maternity to none effect; it reduces the role of women from wives and mothers and queens of their households to mere adjuncts and playthings of powerful and indifferent men, or boys who can commit to nothing. It make the price of sex cheap. It makes women cheap. We utterly denounce and eschew all practices of artificial contraception and sterility as the silent killer of woman’s happiness and the despoiler of women’s lives.

[...]

Fifth Wave feminism celebrates the feminine. In religious practice, we hold that any Church which admits female priests (or “priestesses” see below) into the ranks of an all-male priesthood, particularly one that has to hear confession, and listen to the endless droning of losers with really boring and demeaning sins to confess, demeans womanhood just as much as if women were asked to serve as garbageman.We will not soil our hands. There is plenty of chores suited to our higher and motherly natures, and we can serve as abbesses, nuns, and saints.
