"Feminism has betrayed women, alienated men and women, replaced dialogue with political correctness. PC feminism has boxed women in. The idea that feminism--that liberation from domestic prison--is going to bring happiness is just wrong. Women have advanced a great deal, but they are no happier. The happiest women I know are not those who are balancing their careers and families, like a lot of my friends are. The happiest people I know are the women--like my cousins--who have a high school education, got married immediately graduating and never went to college. They are very religious and they never question their Catholicism. They do not regard the house as a prison."

I believe incels and feminists can get along.
Each side can do this by drawing on the other's ideologies to create new ideas; bridging the two philosophies together.

Case in point, Camille Paglia is a feminist who criticizes the anti-men aspects of feminism.
Here are some of her more blackpilled observations according to a 1995 playboy interview:
- Certain forms of rape "are what used to be called unbridled love."
- Lesbianism is increasing since anxious, unmasculine men have little to offer.
- Prostitutes like their work.
- Stripping is "a sacred dance of pagan origins" and the money men stuff into G-strings is a "ritual offering." "The more a woman takes off her clothes, the more power she has" and feminists hate strippers because "modern professional women cannot stand the thought that their hardwon achievements can be outweighed in an instant by a young hussy flashing a little tits and ass."
- She wants to lower the age of consent for sex to 14
- "Half of us is a nice suburban girl," she says. "The other half is a raving pornographic maniac."
- "The reason women earn less than men is that women don't want the dirty jobs. They aren't picking up the garbage, taking the janitorial jobs and so on. They aren't taking the sales commission jobs that require you to work all night and on weekends. Most women like clean, safe offices, which is why they are still secretaries. They don't want to get too dirty."
- "The problem with America is that there's too little sex, not too much. The more our instincts are repressed, the more we need sex, pornography and all that. The problem is that feminists have taken over with their attempts to inhibit sex. We have a serious testosterone problem in this country."
- "Men are suspicious of women's intentions. Feminism has crippled them. They don't know when to make a pass. If they do make a pass, they don't know if they're going to end up in court."
- "My definition of sexual harassment is specific. It is only sexual harassment--by a man or a woman--if it is quid pro quo. That is, if someone says, 'You must do this or I'm going to do that'--for instance, fire you. And whereas touching is sexual harassment, speech is not. I am militant on this. Words must remain free. The solution to speech is that women must signal the level of their tolerance--women are all different."
- "Feminism has created a privileged, white middle class of girls who claim they're victims because they want to preserve their bourgeois decorum and passivity."
- I have lesbian impulses, so I understand how a man looks at a woman.
- "The Democratic Party has to return to its populist base, to rediscover the party of FDR, the one that appealed to my grandfather and the factory workers and others. To do this, there must be a period of self-criticism. We must face this head-on or continue to be governed by the Republicans."
- "The left constantly identifies the pro-life advocates as misogynists and fanatics, but that doesn't represent most of those people. They are deeply religious and they truly believe that taking a life is wrong. If the left were to show respect for that position and acknowledge the moral conundrum of unwanted pregnancy, the opposition to abortion would lessen."
- "Prozac is legal, why not marijuana?"
- "I don't believe in gay versus straight. The message of the gay liberation movement should have been freedom of sexuality, not antagonism toward sexuality other than gay sex."
- "You can criticize academe, but there is tenure and these snobs are locked in. I am popular with certain people, but I'm still blocked out of the establishment. I hate that incestuous world. It makes me sick. It's impossible for anything truly original to get done. Thinking is not allowed. It's all PC. It is so horrible because it is a fossilized, parasitic version of Sixties philosophy."
- And, ultimately, "We have allowed the sexual debate to be defined by women, and that's not right. Men must speak, and speak in their own voices, not voices coerced by feminist moralists."
You see, Paglia understood that gender politics should be something that women and men should have the right contribute to.
She understood that feminism alone is not enough; we must balance feminism with masculinity.
