Feminism is the scapegoat of many of the users’ problems here. While it is true that the failed and very poorly implemented model of feminism that has infected the West has absolutely destroyed our lives, this is not the feminism the original feminist thinkers such as Mary Wollstonecraft envisioned.
Women lacked culture and education before feminism. The misguided and ignorant Western governments, in their pathetic attempts to implement feminism in the 20th century to appease the dissident masses, didn’t pay attention to the enormous mental and social inequality that built up between the two genders over the entire course of human history and just gave them equal rights and opportunities and called it a day. This led to women becoming an educated, free, yet staying an immensely stupid, uncultured and privileged class of people. Men never stopped going out their ways to try appeasing women, keeping women’s social values inflated, and women never started discussing the nuances of vector calculus or the deeper meanings behind Socrates’s dialogues, rather opting to keep their minds focused on insanely inane topics like peplums, tulles or chignons. They never became conscious, intelligent human beings. With equal rights and opportunities, the tables just got turned further against men, and practically nothing changed for women, for freedom without consciousness is no freedom at all.
If feminism was implemented with care instead, by trying to close the immense gap between men and women first before giving them equal rights, we’d have been living in a much better world. Men and women’s social values would be roughly equal, and women would be far less superficial and autodeprecatory in their selections of mates.
One may argue that the mental and social differences between men and women are inherently biological and no amount of “true” feminism could fix them, but I tend to disagree. Vilar (1971) argues that men and women are born with the same intellectual potential, but women’s potential wastes away, because she never uses it, because her female acquaintances all discuss things that require zero intellect to discuss and her male admirers put her up on a pedestal, not requiring her to do anything to get his love and affection. Here’s the full quote by Vilar:
To conclude, due to the botching of what feminism was supposed to be, despite gaining rights, women did not evolve into fully conscious and intelligent beings, and the societal imbalance persisted, with men feeling further disadvantaged. If feminism was implemented correctly, this would’ve never happened.

At birth, men and women have the same intellectual potential; there is no primary difference in intelligence between the sexes. It is also a fact that potential left to stagnate will atrophy. Women do not use their mental capacity: they deliberately let it disintegrate. After a few years of sporadic training, they revert to a state of irreversible mental torpor. Why do women not make use of their intellectual potential? For the simple reason that they do not need to. It is not essential for their survival. Theoretically it is possible for a beautiful woman to have less intelligence than a chimpanzee and still be considered an acceptable member of society. By the age of twelve at the latest, most women have decided to become prostitutes. Or, to put it another way, they have planned a future for themselves which consists of choosing a man and letting him do all the work.
