Cultural Marxism is a term I have discussed several times on this channel. It's a term that circles around a lot on the Internet nowadays. Many view cultural Marxism as nothing more than an alt-right dog whistle. Apparently uttering this term means you're part of the far-right white-nationalist conspiratorial plot to take over Western civilisation and kill all the blacks/gays/Jews and so on. Truthfully, cultural Marxism, or Marxist cultural analysis, is just another term for critical theory. It's hard to find genuine information about this online, so I compiled a playlist below with a selection of videos about cultural Marxism. I have also linked an excellent paper and a book below which should provide further clarification on this term. I do think it's important for people to know about this to understand the background behind modern 'woke' ideology, social justice warriors, and intersectional feminism. ➤ Cultural Marxism and the Frankfurt School Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL32vBNC_nCT8NEJy6zghI8qxIK4rhEbi9 ➤ Douglas Kellner’s essay on cultural Marxism: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00131857.2021.1926982 ➤ Conversations on Cultural Marxism: https://amzn.to/3Pk2VAT ➤ British Marxism and Cultural Studies: https://amzn.to/3L50Fwe ➤ Race Marxism by James Lindsay: https://amzn.to/3xhnibc Disclaimer: some of the above links are affiliate links, meaning that if you purchase anything, I will receive a small comission at no extra cost to you.

There's a common misconception nowadays around Feminism: feminism means gender equality, and feminism means women should have choices. This is a liberal feminist idea, yet to me, this is just simple liberalism and egalitarianism. I agree with the radical definition of Feminism: that Feminism is a political movement that seeks to liberate women from the male-dominated patriarchy. I think this is a much more accurate definition of Feminism. Because Feminism is supposed to be a political ideology. It's not supposed to mean 'someone who thinks women are people.' When Feminism adopts this definition, it means that it no longer means anything, because who doesn't think women are people? Who doesn't think women should have equality? Moreover, it gaslights and pressures women into calling themselves Feminists. 'We should all be Feminists' -- yes, this is exactly what cults do. They put pressure on everyone to become part of them, and if you're not siding with them, then you're in the wrong. But most people aren't actually Feminists (with a capital F), because most people don't want to overthrow the 'patriarchy.' Most people just want to live their lives and I think pressuring all women to become political activists is unfair and unrealistic (not to mention, it does a disservice to 'politically active' Feminists). I don't respect any part of radical Feminism, but I do respect the fact that they're not hypocrites and they stand by their cause. And that cause is to liberate women from the so-called 'patriarchy', not to achieve social and legal equality.

Is casual sex bad for women? Is it good for women? Does sleeping around liberate women, or does it just demean us? Is it awesome or heartbreaking? I think the answer is something in between. For many women, casual sex, or sex outside of romantic commitment, can be a source of fun, pleasure, and joy. However, I do believe that many women are not emotionally and psychologically wired to enjoy casual sex. I think that casual sex can be a fun 'phase' that a lot of people go through, but long-term, people typically desire romantic emotional commitment and view that as preferable to having emotionally detached sex. Some women have higher sex drives than others and a greater need for sex. Some people have more 'experimental' personalities and thus like to seek out new experiences. I don't see anything wrong with this. I think that the association with sex as a measure of personal virtue comes from the Abrahamic religions, which is very unhealthy.

Recently, in 2022, Spain passed a 'yes-is-yes' or 'only yes-means-yes' law of consent, saying that sexual consent can only be given when a woman gave a firm yes to sex. This was after five men raped an unconscious 18-year-old girl in 2016 and were not given appropriate charges. While I absolutely agree with the importance of sexual consent, I worry about what this could mean for future harmony between the sexes. To what extent could this law lead to policing of human behaviour? Guess we'll have to wait and see. ➤ Article on Spain’s ‘Yes is Yes’ law: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/08/26/spain-only-yes-law-sexual-consent/ ➤ The often incorrectly cited ‘1 in 4 women are raped’ statistic includes ATTEMPTS OF rape, attempted assault, and indecent exposure: https://rcew.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/documents/Statistics_about_sexual_violence_and_abuse_-_sources_RCEW.pdf ➤ 2018 Scottish study: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-43128350 ➤ 1985 Boston study: https://archive.org/details/licensetorapesex00fink/page/204/mode/2up ➤ RAINN statistics on rape perpetrators: https://www.rainn.org/statistics/perpetrators-sexual-violence Marital rape laws by country: ➤ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marital_rape_laws_by_country ➤ https://www.theweek.co.uk/98330/when-did-marital-rape-become-a-crime Women’s desire for sex in long-term relationships tends to wane: ➤ https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/7/9/e016942 ➤https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/02/women-get-bored-sex-long-term-relationships/582736/

Fifty years ago in the United States, the bill Roe vs Wade was passed on the grounds of liberty. Sadly, in 2022, this bill has now been overturned. Abortion in America is now a state law, rather than a federal law, meaning that women who live in Bible states who need access to abortion will not be able to receive one. While I agree with Feminists that abortion is a fundamental right, my disagreements lie in that I do not view abortion as a 'Feminist' issue. To me, abortion is very much a religion vs science issue. Most people who are anti-abortion are staunchly religious. The United States' government has a large body of right-wing Conservative Christian fundamentalists. They are mixing religion with politics. Secular liberal principles are very much for abortion rights. In the 21st century, it is a massive shame that we are allowing thousand-year-old ideas that belong in the Dark Ages to be pushed onto mainstream society. ➤ Check out my video on abortion here: https://youtu.be/eIAFDx2RlM0 ➤ Roe vs Wade overturned, Evangelical Christians rejoice: https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2022/june/roe-v-wade-overturn-abortion-supreme-court-ruling-pro-life.html ➤ States where Roe vs Wade have been overturned: https://www.insider.com/map-where-is-abortion-illegal-us-roe-v-wade-overturned-2022-6 ➤ The Bible Belt (nine of the states where anti-abortion laws were triggered in the overturning of Roe are in the Bible Belt): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible_Belt#By_state ➤ Judaism and abortion: https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/529077/jewish/Judaism-and-Abortion.htm ➤ Christianity and abortion: https://www.christianity.com/wiki/christian-life/the-bible-say-about-abortion.html ➤ Islam and abortion: https://hadithoftheday.com/abortion-in-islam/

I don't and never have been politically conservative. However, I grew up hearing a lot of anti-conservative bias all around me, often distorting ideas around right-wing schools of thought. 'Right-wing' is often viewed as a slur and a dirty word. While I abhor right-wing extremism (just as I abhor leftist extremism), moderate schools of right-wing thought (e.g. classical liberalism) are not all bad. We need to stop seeing being socially/fiscally conservative as 'bad' or 'evil' if we want to have open-minded discussions. ➤ One minute video on difference between liberalism and leftism: https://youtu.be/b6w3l_BUyWs British vs American Conservativism: ➤ https://www.theatlantic.com/daily-dish/archive/2010/02/british-conservatives-vs-american-conservatives/190298/ ➤ https://www.gov.uk/government/news/same-sex-marriage-becomes-law ➤ https://www.itv.com/news/2019-09-14/introducing-gay-marriage-one-of-my-proudest-moments-former-pm-david-cameron ➤ https://americancompass.org/the-commons/what-republicans-can-learn-from-the-uks-conservative-party/

It’s tough to find books that critique Feminism against the hundreds of pro-Feminist books out there. Here are a few that I have read that I recommend to anyone who wants to read about Feminism from a critiquing-Feminist perspective. Out of the four of these books, "The Flipside of Feminism" is the only one I would dub 'anti' Feminist (it was also my least favourite of the bunch as I couldn't relate to Suzanne Venker's social conservatism). The other three all support Feminism in some small way, they simply critique it and provide counter-arguments. ➤ The Flipside of Feminism: https://amzn.to/37pznBn ➤ The Myth of Male Power: https://amzn.to/3jMKUNw ➤ Free Women, Free Men: https://amzn.to/3KT9IzD ➤ Who Stole Feminism: https://amzn.to/37sc21Y ➤ My goodreads page: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/18169646.Zarina_Macha ➤ My author channel: https://youtube.com/@zarinamachaauthor Disclaimer: some of the above links are affiliate links, meaning that if you purchase anything, I will receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.

Feminism typically teaches us that it liberated women and gave women all of the rights that we have today in Western societies. However, in this short video I am going to debunk five key areas often associated with Feminism, asserting that it was in fact science, liberty, and capitalism which liberated women. ➤ Equal Pay in the USA: https://www.nps.gov/articles/equal-pay-act.htm ➤ Equal Pay in the UK: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1970/41/enacted ➤ My video on abortion: https://youtu.be/eIAFDx2RlM0 ➤ My video on the sexual revolution: https://youtu.be/UBCow_vaCUI

Feminism is often credited with pioneering the sexual revolution, even though when they first started, the two movements had little in common. In this video I shall assert why Feminism was not entirely responsible for the sexual liberation of Western women, and how Feminism is not actually as sex-positive as it could be.

There are many hypocricies of Feminism, and in this video I am going to discuss five of them. Iceland, the most Feminist country in the world, banned strip clubs in 2015. Two different Feminists have different views on this: ➤ https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2010/mar/25/iceland-most-feminist-country ➤ http://feministing.com/2010/03/29/iceland-bans-strip-clubs-a-victory-for-feminism/ Feminism vs choice: ➤ https://theconversation.com/no-feminism-is-not-about-choice-40896 ➤ https://magdalene.co/story/choice-feminism-and-why-its-not-enough

Abortion is hailed as one of Feminism’s greatest triumphs. While I have always been pro-choice and believe abortion must be legal worldwide (as should prostitution), I see this as having little to do with Feminism. Those who are pro-life and who believe abortion should be totally illegal are usually either religious extremists, or simply lack the knowledge that making abortion illegal is more harmful to the mother and the foetus. Abortion being made legal was about classical liberal humanitarian values, not Feminism. Plus, many of the early Western women’s pioneers (so-called first wave feminists) were anti-abortion.

Feminism is a highly complex ideology that has various factions and sub-types. It is so much more than simply ‘gender equality’ (and in my opinion, is not synonymous with gender equality). In this video I outline the three main types of feminism: radical Feminism, liberal feminism, and intersectional Feminism. ➤ Videos explaining cultural Marxism and The Frankfurt School: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL32vBNC_nCT8NEJy6zghI8qxIK4rhEbi9 ➤ Paper on cultural Marxism: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00131857.2021.1926982 Radical feminist critiques of the sexual revolution: ➤ https://www.jstor.org/stable/466614 ➤ https://enlightenedwomen.org/radical-feminist-regret-sexual-revolution/ ➤ https://winningthestrike.wordpress.com/2014/02/27/anti-porn-feminism/ ➤ https://youtu.be/T3KFXqOCE7c ➤ https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2014/03/sex-positive-feminism-doing-patriarchy%E2%80%99s-work-it ➤ https://www.damemagazine.com/2016/11/07/did-sexual-revolution-liberate-women/ ➤ Sex-positive feminism: https://astroglide.com/blog/sex-positivity-what-it-means-and-why-its-beneficial ➤ Dennis Prager being called a ‘male chauvinist pig’ by Betty Friedan: https://www.nationalreview.com/2016/11/feminism-weak-women-equality-sameness-difference/ ➤ Irina Dunn and Gloria Steinem claiming ‘a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle’ (i.e. women don’t need men): https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/a-woman-needs-a-man-like-a-fish-needs-a-bicycle.html ➤ ‘Don’t cook dinner, starve a rat today’ phrase coined by Betty Friedan: https://www.buttonmuseum.org/buttons/starve-rat-today ➤ Betty Friedan’s anti-male or anti-masculine sentiments: https://fathersforlife.org/feminism/truth_a_la_friedan.htm https://youtu.be/qfgxHKli9CU ➤ Suzanne Venker breaks down American Feminism in ‘The Flipside of Feminism.’ This article serves as a good summary of her book: https://www.wbur.org/radioboston/2011/03/18/suzanne-venker ➤ Valerie Solanas: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/26/obituaries/valerie-solanas-overlooked.html ➤ Warren Farrell, once hailed by Feminists, is now chastised by Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem for speaking out on men’s issues: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1993-08-09-vw-22148-story.html ➤ Simone de Beauvoir viewed motherhood as oppressive: http://motherhoodinpointoffact.com/dev/concept-of-motherhood-parental-choice/ Many contemporary Feminists support a radical approach to Feminism and oppose a liberal ‘choice’ one. ➤ https://theconversation.com/feminism-has-failed-and-needs-a-radical-rethink-55441 ➤ https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2020/11/16/feminisms-second-wave-has-failed-women ➤ https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/apr/16/why-andrea-dworkin-is-the-radical-visionary-feminist-we-need-in-our-terrible-times ➤ https://theothermccain.com/2014/09/23/the-incoherence-of-liberal-feminism/ ➤ https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/feb/20/ten-things-feminism-has-ruined Feminist critiques of marriage: ➤ https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/video/2016/may/25/women-face-it-marriage-can-never-be-feminist-video ➤ https://theswaddle.com/marriage-is-an-inherently-unfeminist-institution/ Websites like ‘Everyday Feminism’ and ‘Feminist Frequency’ don’t call themselves radical Feminists yet clearly hold strong bias towards men, as highlighted in their condescending articles. ➤ https://everydayfeminism.com/2016/10/yes-actually-it-is-all-men/ ➤ https://feministfrequency.com/video/5-ways-men-can-help-end-sexism/ ➤ One of my favourite authors, Louise O’Neill, blatantly said that the hardest place to maintain her feminism is in a relationship with a straight man.

There are many reasons why I am not a Feminist. In this video I summarise seven of them. I actually identified as a feminist in my teens, but the more research I did into Feminism, the more I spoke to Feminists, and the more I read Feminist articles, the more I could no longer identify with the ideology and thus I stopped being a Feminist.

I support gender equality, and women’s rights. I applaud and respect plenty of career-oriented women, including several feminists (including Caitlin Moran and Louise O'Neill). I have socially liberal (not Conservative) views. Yet I refuse to call myself a Feminist. Despite identifying as a feminist aged 14-18, I have since come to view contemporary Feminism as little better than a religion. In this day and age, being a non-feminist gal (or guy) is very tough. This channel is to share my views with others who disagree with Feminism and instead support gender egalitarianism.
