Nothing despises women more than modern feminism. I'm sure of it.
I've been doing this job long enough to see too many examples. People who subscribe to modern feminist ideology spew more venom at women than any other ideological position on the planet. In fact, modern feminism seems to hate women so much that it constantly tries to replace them with men.
If any woman speaks out against their erasure, modern feminism rises up and attempts to shame and intimidate them into silence.
Take the recent dust-up between Riley Gaines and Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14), for Instance. Both are perfect representatives of the opposing sides. Gaines is an accomplished athlete who bravely pushed back against the transgender movement to keep women's sports and locker rooms safe by keeping men who pretend to be women out. For her trouble, she's been attacked relentlessly, and not just with verbal barbs, but with physical attacks as well.
But most importantly, Gaines is a mother, which is the most important job in the world, and the job for which all other jobs exist, to borrow wording from C.S. Lewis.
Meanwhile, AOC is a "representative," and I put that in quotes because she hardly does her job. Her role is to be more of a visible figurehead of a radical part of the Democrat Party than an actual representative. She's far more famous for her online activity and rallies than her work in Congress. She's the perfect example of Shakespeare's idiot full of "sound and fury, signifying nothing."
The two got into a spat on X where AOC attempted to insult Gaines by — and I'm not kidding — reminding her that she's the fifth fastest woman in the nation, not bothering to include the fact that one of those "women" she came behind was a man.
It’s always hilarious when they think they’ve landed a “gotcha” by pointing out I was the 5th-fastest woman *in the nation* yet they conveniently forget the mediocre man who ranked 462nd in the men’s division lol

Misogynistic dunce https://t.co/d1aiAHHoYQ
I want to pause here for just a moment and point out that even if Gaines was just fifth, there are 174 million women in the United States, and she's pretty much faster than all of them. AOC's "insult" is not a slam; it's a reminder that Gaines is a true athlete who could smoke pretty much anyone who decided to race her in the water.
But I digress.
Gaines challenged AOC to a debate, to which AOC did her usual dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge maneuver of not accepting the challenge and throwing out an insult instead, this one about Gaines needing to get a job. Gaines replied masterfully, pointing out that she has the most important job in the world.
I have a real job. I'm a mom. It's the most important & rewarding job in the world.

I think if you had a baby girl like I do, you'd understand my positions a little better. https://t.co/to8syxkXjP
The important part of this exchange isn't the exchange itself; it's the words beneath them. AOC's attacks on Gaines aim directly at her accomplishments, belittling them to make Gaines sound like she's done nothing.
The part to pay attention to is that AOC was likely not even thinking about Gaines as a mother, but as a woman who stood up against a movement that sought to substitute men for women. They consistently say that transgender men "are women," but refuse to define what a woman is because they know that doing so would mean acknowledging that men are not women.
The question then becomes, why does modern feminism want to replace women with men so badly?
It's because they see being a woman, especially a woman who embraces her femininity, as inherently sinful to modern social norms. They see femininity as weak, submissive, and most egregiously, compatible with masculinity, not masculine itself, a quality they enviously believe is the only real power. Any attempt to put femininity in a position of power is seen as regressive to modern feminism.
So it punishes women who fight for femininity's rightful place as the chief characteristic of the female sex, or at least, they try to. This does include insulting women for pretty much any outward expressions or qualities of femininity, including traditional beauty, motherhood, being a homemaker, and working alongside men instead of attempting to outpace or dominate them.
The goal is to stamp femininity out so that feminism can rule, and not just women, but men as well.
But feminism is fighting an uphill battle that it can't win. Even after decades of attempting to reprogram women, nature still wins out. Most women either embrace their femininity, settle down, have children, and live a traditional life, or find out too late that this is really what they wanted all along, resulting in regret and unhappiness.

If modern feminism is going to push against femininity this hard, then it's going to collapse in on itself. It can't assail nature, and women will always be women in the end. They always have been, and while social trends might change and pendulums might swing, the ingrained programming can't be ignored.
Feminism can't punish the femininity out of women.
