Read this amazing story.... After spending most of her life defending the feminist movement, British writer Petronella White writes an article in which she expresses her regret, saying: “I am single and childless and alone. Feminism has let me down and let down my entire generation.” The writer added in her article: “Every Monday, I meet with a group of friends at one of London’s restaurants. We sit at a table near the window and discuss our lives. We have so much in common—we’re all in our mid-fifties, working women with prestigious educations—but... there’s an emptiness in our lives because we’re all single and have no children. I feel increasingly, as my close friends do, that feminism has let down our generation... and I sometimes think, as my friends do, that the West has outgrown feminist philosophy and that it has become harmful... So where in this world are women like us left to reach our mid-fifties and find ourselves alone? ... Did you know that one in ten British women in their fifties has never married and lives alone! And it’s a painful and unhealthy thing. My friend Sally, who is 55 years old, said to me: I always feel like an unwanted person as a woman because feminism taught us that the traditional female is a stereotype invented by men to keep us under their control, and based on that, I was hostile to men to the point of pushing them away, and now here I am paying the price for it... I say it clearly: It’s time to rethink this culture and reclaim the traditional culture... Perhaps it’s too late for me and my friends, but we must not allow the women’s movement to destroy the lives of future generations as well.”
