Adventures in the Patriarchy™: ‘Doll Moms’

Chronicling the ongoing intersectional struggle to liberate women — inclusively defined as the legacy kind and the transgender individuals — from the Patriarchy™, one microaggression at a time.

Methinks the lady doth protest too much

The whole “voting rights” and “equal pay” thing is so first and second-wave feminism.

Under third-wave feminism, we’ve radically expanded the purview; modern feminists will crusade against literally anything that causes them any amount of psychological discomfort on a personal level.

As documented in prior editions, new-age feminists have a well-honed knack for alchemically transforming any and all personal psychological afflictions, no matter how apolitical in nature, into political issues that everyone else in society is then forced to reckon with.

Exhibit A is childless shrew Chelsea Handler, filming herself in bed with a bowl in hand, presumably full of cannabis, desperately and transparently trying to convince herself — by proxy, by convincing and getting affirmation from her fans — that barrenness is an enriching and gratifying lifestyle:

I can drink what I want, smoke what I want, nap when I want because I don’t have to worry about a child asking me a ton of incessant questions that, frankly, I don’t care to know the answers to.

She goes on to rattle off all of the exotic destinations she’s visited in the recent past, including Jamaica, where she enjoyed jerk chicken, before encouraging other women not to have children.

‘Doll moms’: A uniquely Western phenomenon

If you want to play with dolls as an adult, it’s obviously a free country; God bless.

But I get the feeling this is misdirected maternal instinct.

Via The Mary Sue:

The Internet at large has stumbled upon the concept of “Reborn doll moms.” To say that there is discourse would do it all a disservice. For the uninitiated, these women are taking care of special baby dolls prescribed by doctors for women who lose their child in pregnancy or in childbirth. It’s a complicated plan of therapy to help with the grief of an extremely traumatic event.

Meanwhile, in Russia…

The government has announced through state-run news agency Russia Today that it will offer psychological counseling to women who express disinterest in having children during routine medical visits.

Whether this is a sincere announcement of government policy or just a high-class troll is unclear — the AI-generated image of the pink-haired in the therapy session indicates the latter — but, in any scenario, good on Russia for at least challenging the narrative dominance of the entrenched gynocracy in the West.

There are, of course, myriad geopolitical reasons that justify Western antipathy towards Russia — but its reluctance to commit to the demographic suicide pact of the West is certainly part of the equation.
