Feminism is the ideology that sees great value in increasing the power
and resources (in every sense of those words) of women in relation to
men. It is just as valuable to feminists that men be hobbled and
weakened as that women become stronger. This flows from the core belief
that womens dependence on men has historically been exploited by men in
the form of the patriarchy - that men have "ruled" in the family and in
politics outside the family.
Therefore, as women gain power in relation to men, they can
re-negotiate all of these forms in a way that is more congruent with
their desires and true nature.

Only a society as rich and powerful and resilent as the modern West
could survive for even a short time with this sort of toxic nonsense.
Weaker societies would be killed outright.
