When Female Sociopaths Hijacked Feminism

Short Answer: it was 1963.

Longer Answer:

The Dark Ages
Also known as the 1950’s (which are also known – to Conservatives – as “the good old days”). Actually, for a long time before that. A looong time. You pretty much have to go back to before Monotheism to find a time when human sexuality was not repressed. (Read Joseph Campbell’s accounts of the pagan sex cults; whew, our ancestors did a whole lotta love'n! But I digress…)
 
The First Wave
The first wave of Feminism had been about getting women to be recognized and treated as fully human in everyday life and under the law. This was good; I, as most people today, accept that as a legitimate goal. (As most young women today accept, it has largely been achieved.)


The Pill
The birth control pill (so impactful it is known simply as “The Pill”, despite the millions of types of pills in our society) was approved for married women in some states in 1960; every year after that, the number of women who could get it – both legally and illegally – increased every year until every adult and most teens get could get on it by the early seventies. This absolutely caused the Sexual Revolution, the way that it actually happened, when it actually happened (despite the protestations of some). Yes, there were psycho-social changes happening already, and something would have happened, but The Pill had a huge effect on America and the world.

(The Pill has been reformulated a few times since, and today is very safe and very effective – if taken as prescribed – for women ages 18 – 30.)


The Sociopaths/Psychopaths
"They are everyone, and they are no one." Morpheus, The Matrix

Movies and TV have given most people a false impression of what a psychopath is; the whole “Hannibal Lecter / Silence of the Lambs” thing.

In reality, most sociopaths (psychopaths are a subset of sociopaths) are not serial killers or even in prison. They are doctors, lawyers, nurses, teachers.. every kind of person. Rich and poor; young and old; Black, White, and Asian. They are Conservative and Liberal; Democrat and Republican; Capitalist and Communist. Every category, every place, every group has some.

Including the Feminist Movement.

The Feminist Mistake and The Biological Clock
The female sociopath cannot get human fulfillment from the "traditional" roles of  wife and mother. To her, those healthy, natural roles feel like a prison, and a trap, and like she's being unjustly persecuted.

In 1963, Betty Friedan released her book The Feminine Mystique. Friedan had been an activist for many years by that point; she was also a woman “of privilege”, living in a large house with several servants. Her wealthy husband hired a nanny to look after their children, and a maid to take care of their house, so she could travel the USA complaining about how oppressed she was.

[The NYT obituary for Friedan noted that she was "famously abrasive", and that she could be "thin-skinned and imperious, subject to screaming fits of temperament." Her husband said, "It took a driven, super aggressive, egocentric, almost lunatic dynamo to rock the world the way she did. Unfortunately, she was that same person at home, where that kind of conduct doesn't work. She simply never understood this." Germaine Greer stated Betty "would become breathless with outrage if she didn't get the deference she thought she deserved." That's the malignant narcissism which is typical of the psychopathic personality.]


So, since most women have to choose one or the other at a time, Feminism teaches them to put off marriage and children in favor of pursuing a career (mocking women who don’t as pursuing an “MRS” degree). This is not what’s best for most women – or their children – because the 20’s are the biologically best time to be getting pregnant and giving birth. Most women’s fertility starts to decrease after age 30, and decreases every year after that. If you spend all your 20’s going to college and then establishing your career, you are acting like a man. It’s OK for men to do that – we don’t get pregnant.
 
The Fish Needs A Bicycle
The man gives the woman what she values most, which is his love; the woman gives the man what he values most, her power. If the man gives his love for any amount of time, and then at some point stops giving it, then she should “stop giving away her power.” If the man gives her his love before she gives him her power, she will not be able to feel respect for him, then she will not be able to feel attracted to him.

If the woman gives the man both her power and her love – hey, that’s great. But if she gives her love but not her power, that relationship is doomed.

Female sociopaths, calling themselves feminists, point to examples of male sociopaths being psychopathic toward non-'path women, and misrepresent it as typical of how "men" treat "women" (the Patriarchy).

Modern (i.e., psychopathic) Feminism drops all of this context, and tells women “Stop giving away your power”, as an absolute. This makes it a vicious attack on healthy heterosexuality.

 
The Twilight of the Vampires
Vampire = sociopath = defective and inferior.

They are not heroes, they do not have superpowers, and there is no such thing as a good sociopath who fights the bad sociopaths because he loves a girl. The idyllic romance ‘tween Bella and whatz-his-name is the Trojan horse inside which that lie got smuggled into a generation of girls' minds.

No, vampires/sociopaths don’t have fangs, or sleep in coffins, or burst into flames in the sunlight. That’s entertainment industry bullshit.

There has been a huge push in recent years for psychopaths and sociopaths, to portray them as just regular fellas (Sopranos), cool and interesting (Mad Men), doing justice – unlike those incompetent cops (Dexter), and even an oppressed minority (True Blood).

Just because they find themselves fascinating doesn’t mean you have to.
