The final nail in the coffin for feminism and gender equality should be the fact that no one can name a single civilization that thrived—or even survived at all—that gave women (rather than a single, occasional queen) an equal share in political decision-making and responsibility. Sure, some civilizations gave some high-status women property rights and wealth, but that’s not the same thing we’ve been discussing around here. Some feminist and gender egalitarian weasels will try to argue that high-status women always had some influence on the political course of every major civilization, but that influence was always a very indirect and feminine kind of influence—as a group, women were never directly involved in the actual decision-making, management, defense and general leadership of any civilization. They were never treated as equal to men with regard to their responsibilities. There are individual exceptions—rare “female warriors” and powerful queens here and there—but as a group, women did not have equal representation in any traditionally male occupations crucial to the survival of civilization. Only until very recently, Western civilization has always been patriarchal. It was all entirely built under patriarchy. The decline of the West (of White nations) has absolutely correlated with every increase in female enfranchisement and “gender equality.”
