A lot of women have started to wake up and they are realizing that what 3rd way feminism fed them and promised them isn't all it's cracked up to be. I mean I cannot tell you how many videos come across my TikTok page, my ex feed, all of it that are just like this. Man, I feel lied to, lied to by the culture, But I'm going to take full responsibility there, man. I fell for it. I fell for the boss *****. The like, I I could do everything by myself. That hyper independent ********. And I'm 31 now and I still don't have kids. I don't have a family. And so many women around her age are reevaluating their lives, reevaluating what the hell they were focused on for the last 10 or 15 years and are realizing that they probably want to. Change everything. And to me it's heartbreaking because these women, they really were lied to. The feminist marketing machine of the last 30 years was insane and not leaning into it. That's a Sheryl Sandberg joke. I am a woman was considered the weird and nontraditional path. If you didn't do that, you were considered the black sheep. In the comments of that video, one person said the 30s will do that. It's like a switch gets flipped, family over, everything. But the sad thing is that used to just be the norm from the beginning, from your childhood family was everything. That is where you put your priorities. Now it's like you have to mature and age into realizing that that is what is most important. Which is very sad. Another person said this this is how we will heal our society. Glad to see more women waking up. Another girl said, I'm glad I'm realizing this at 26. I think she's going to say I still have a lot of time. Hopefully God puts that good man in my path. Another woman said yes, I blame Beyonc�� independent woman song. The programming started in high school. I mean that could be just a whole other episode and going through all the cultural icons and the entertainment that furthered this idea that women do not need anything or anyone except their career in themselves to be happy. Now around the same time that I saw that tick tock back in December, I was sent to this story, 38 year old woman decides that she wants a baby and claims that. It has been betrayed by feminism. So this article is about a woman who did a video for Fox. That's what the screen grabs are from and you got very vulnerable about her life and her choices and all of it. But she was brought on to Fox because of an open letter that she wrote for Business Insider earlier in the fall. And I cannot believe I did not see this until last month because it is so good. And her open letter is entitled I'm 38 and single and I recently realized that I want a child. I am terrified that I've missed my opportunity and I'm going to read you some snippets, but I highly recommend you go read the whole thing. It's free. It's an easy read. Now basically this woman, she got married young and then she decided that. She did not want to be a wife or mother and she began to resent the man she married for wanting a stay at home wife when that is what she had actually agreed to. When they got married she fell into the feminist trap. She followed societies lead, she rejected all of that and they got divorced and she spent years and years alone focusing on herself, chasing her career and dating people who also did not want to get married and also did not want to have children. And then she turned 38 and she took a good long look at her life. I told my friends and family that I'd never get married again. I needed independence of a filling career in space to chart my own course and I didn't think marriage fit into that vision. I was content to look towards the future. Out a husband, children, or the trappings of a traditional life. But then, after a bad breakup and her 38th birthday, she said that she began to feel an incredible urgency to find the relationship and stability to see me through the second-half of my life. To my amazement, I began seriously thinking about marriage and children. I hardly recognize myself. If I sound desperate, it's because I honestly do feel a little desperate. At my age. I know that creating life may not be an option for me, and I worry that men who want a family aren't looking for a woman pushing 40. I get it. I'm no longer the ideal candidate for motherhood, and it's a scary truth, but I still hope to. Find somebody who thinks that I'm the ideal partner and create our family together. Like it makes me want to cry because there's so many women in the same boat as her. My heart goes out to her and I genuinely hope that she finds somebody and I know that it's possible. Don't listen to what people on Twitter are saying. It is not too late for this woman or any of the women out there. Just the fact that they are waking up is huge. And Speaking of that, as so many of these millennial women are coming out of the girl boss brain fog, I think we need to reevaluate how society is going to treat them. Because the typical right wing and now red pill bro response is to make fun of these women, to throw their choices in their faces and tell them that. Hit the wall because they're above 30 years old. That does nothing to encourage them or welcome them or make young men feel confident or supported by our side of the aisle. It it truly does more harm than good. And yes, these ex girl bosses did make choices and they are facing the consequences, but they're taking responsibility and they shouldn't be shamed for that. And we can't ignore the fact that they didn't make these choices alone. This is what our culture told them to do. They were doing what they believe to be the right thing. Brittany Martinez, who is the editor in chief of Evie magazine, wrote a great tweet about this recently. She said what people don't seem to realize is that. A lot of the people in this millennial generation either came from broken homes where marriage was not modeled well for them, or were told by their parents that they had time or to focus on their careers before settling down. They didn't have people encouraging them to get married and find love young while their hormones were conflicting them. The women grew up with the Be a Girl boss messaging throughout the media because that was the cool thing to do. Not saying that you can't have a career. But now these women are turning 30 and lost. They're told now that they're worthless when they thought they were doing the right thing all these years by getting their PhD or whatnot. We will have a generation of unhappy people, and we will especially see it in the millennial generation, unfortunately. But it's not helping anyone to tell women once they've hit 30 that they're doomed if they're single. Is it easier to find love younger? Yes. To others? Find love later in life also yes. If women want to help the next generation not be in this predicament, they can show the world how beautiful it is to love and be loved. Make marriage look sexy over being single in an epic high rise in Manhattan, granted marriages and for everyone. But it is beautiful and I highly recommend it. I just see no point in laughing at others misery. You can't turn back time, but you can always make the most of your future. I mean, society has told women that nothing matters except themselves, that they don't need anyone else. They shouldn't want anyone else. In fact, wanting a partner, specifically a male partner, is just indoctrination from the patriarchy, and so you need to completely reject that. Our society needs good women, We need good mothers, we need good families, and we certainly need more children. And I love that she discovered this, even if it's later.
I always dreamed this. A family. Taking care of my husband and children in that special way. However, I was left with my 6 month old daughter to figure it out….and I did. Unfortunately, my career became my drug because how else would I provide for my daughter. Now 13 years later, I still haven’t met a man who wants to love us more than himself and God more than us. I worked my way up from nothing to a Sr. Project Engineer, constantly feeling everyone else around me was always so much better than me because no matter what I conquered, ultimately, I saw myself as a single mother, not good enough for any man to want for the rest of his life. So, with that being said, I love what this video is saying and stands for. That would have been my life if I could have had it. However, not every women who is killing it in her career and missing out on the family or the position we were purposed for is doing it on purpose. Some of us have been let down by the one man who was suppose to do his part to. So I truly believe this world not only needs healing in our ladies to remember our purpose but also in the men who have forgotten as well. But God…🩶
This awakening is big. I imagine women, who once went through the feminism-washing-machine and converted back to traditional roles and values will make exceptionally good mothers and wives and home-leaders.
A healthy society is build by man-woman families, who raise responsible children.
If we don’t have that as the core moral within a nation, we will slowly degrade into an anarchy.
Nevertheless, it’s a continuous life cycle, so every phase has it’s role and meaning.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Feminism is a farce. Women and Men need each other and God intended for us to compliment one another. Glad women (including me) are finally waking up to this reality.
Many happenings in the world currently have been because of this 'lie'. The core foundation of 'family' is being destroyed without so much as a blink of the eye. Hopefully we can rebound together in society and bring back values, morality, and overall care for each other again.

20 years ago I gave up a six-figure income to be a wife and mother. There were definitely sacrifices but it’s a decision I will never regret!
Both of my adult children are now married, well rounded, and emotionally healthy.

How can we work towards fairer representation?

What is the significance of commemorating Women's Day or embracing feminism?
“Preserving feminism is akin to tending to the roots of a tree; it strengthens the foundation of society and maintains the balance of power between genders."
"In a world where gender bias tilts the scales, feminism serves as the force that realigns them. Preserving it is essential for restoring the balance and creating a more just world."
"Feminism is the equilibrium point where rights meet justice. Preserving it ensures that the world remains balanced, fair, and inclusive for all genders."
Women bear the responsibility of supporting and empowering one another.

Technology is radically transforming society. 'Time to Reboot: Feminism in the Algorithm Age' by Carla Wilshire explores the new digital gender divide. It unpacks the uncomfortable parallels between a digital and tech consumer culture we find impossible to resist and the nascent decline of gender equity. It questions whether the technology that is meant to both guide us today and show us the future is, in fact, pushing women backwards—and if so, how we can fix this.
Part of our #inthenationalinterest series, the book will be out in March.
