I can&#8217;t, and I think it would be a safe bet that this woman has never had a stable, functioning relationship in her life. I post this because having spent a year or so exploring modern feminism, or third-wave feminism as it&#8217;s often called, I have reached the conclusion that much of it is driven by women whose personalities are too poisonous for them to build a relationship with a man of their choosing. That&#8217;s not to say all third-wave feminists are single, but a lot of them seem to despise their partners (e.g. <a href=\"http:\/\/theothermccain.com\/2017\/11\/27\/check-me-here-rooshv-is-your-sexuality-ugly-dangerous-brutal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jessica Valenti<\/a>) or show signs (e.g. Laurie Penny, and the woman in the tweet above) of being such unpleasant characters that no sane man would want anything to do with them.<\/p>\n<p>Which leaves us with an interesting question. Is their obnoxious personality a result of their failing to find a decent partner, or is their failing to find a decent partner a result of their obnoxious personality? My guess is it starts with the latter, then forms a vicious circle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today somebody actually replied to my question on Twitter as to whether the unpaid work done by men gets counted when declaring that women are suffering under the crippling burden of housework, which I wrote about here.
