The Consequences of Feminism: A Dystopian Reality of Modern Dating
The bill of goods that society has sold single women for the last few decades is coming back to haunt them. Convinced at ages when they were too young and stupid to know better, women bought into a scam called feminism.
Feminism framed the best parts of life — namely, children, family, a loving husband and a stable home — as burdens. Mission-based and targeting women too young to know any better, feminism stole from women real power, real safety and real choice.
The entire movement capitalized on weak egos and female insecurity. Instead of looking at these and solving the actual problems, women blamed men, as society instructed them to do — not for the reasons they were being told, but for reasons that enhanced society’s widespread control. Had they realized the misery that would have come of this, most certainly would have stopped.
Women flogged, steamrolled and beat men to a pulp. They broke their spirits and tried to rid them of all masculinity. Then they gave as many as they could a lobotomy, so the entire species would forget who they were. I’m not going to say that they feminized them, because that would be an enormous insult to femininity. They simply turned men into the worst version of themselves.
Men who refused to pander were ganged up on and accused of promoting toxic masculinity. They were labeled hypermasculine, brutish and outdated while the agreeable, docile, metrosexual suddenly became revered.
Single women are now bearing the consequences of their accomplishments. Their handiwork has come back to roost, leaving their lives empty and their eggs cold and old.
A Dystopian Glimpse into Modern Dating
A recent video shared on X has captured the new reality of dating for single women and men. The video compares what dating used to look like versus what it looks like today, in the wake of feminism and with the help of smartphones and dating apps. The video has been viewed over 5 million times already.
Many are calling it dystopian. Others, quite sad. The honesty of the portrayal has caught viewers off-guard, highlighting the stark reality of how feminism and technology have done more to isolate people than bring them together. It’s an especially sad commentary on modern male-female dynamics.
The video is set in the mid-80s. “Every Breath You Take” by British rock band The Police is playing in the background. The scene shows a young man sitting by himself in a diner. He is well-dressed and rather handsome. He spots a very pretty, wholesome-looking young woman in the distance. She is sitting with a friend, chatting. The young man musters up the courage to approach her. He compliments her, then says he’d like to take her out. She responds warmly. The young man returns to his seat with her number scribbled on a piece of paper. He is overjoyed and visibly proud of himself.

The scene quickly segues to the way that same situation is carried out today. The background music slows. In fact, it begins to drag, matching the darkened, shadowy room in which the young man sits. Smartphone in hand, he proceeds to swipe on an array of female profiles posted to a dating app — one, then another, then another.
The dichotomy between then and now is dramatic. No wonder it is causing such a stir, driving people to lament over the unforeseen repercussions that have already come to pass and will continue, including the falling-away of marriage and declining birth rates in the United States.
According to the post on X, the discrepancy between men finding dates through apps as compared to any other way is huge. It shows that the vast majority of people are dating primarily online. Approaching a girl while eating a sandwich at a diner just isn’t happening anymore. With that goes romance and the good meet-cute story.
the “online” one makes sense but the “through friends” one & others almost dipping to zero….
we are insanely atomized.

This represents just another way society has traded ease and convenience for health and welfare.
The reality is that men need to be listened to by women, which is exactly what hasn’t been happening since feminism began. I’m convinced much of today’s female culture has no clue who men are because they’ve spent their entire lives telling men who they are as opposed to listening to them. Now they are crying that they are lonely, worried that they won’t ever get married or have families. This is while women who are confident in their own identity and femininity aren’t having such problems.
Efforts to diminish and overpower men — while screaming you don’t need them at every turn — hardly goes unnoticed. In this case, it led to winning the battle and losing the war.
On either side, stands only one. It is the loneliest number — always.

What are the consequences of the cultural shift in dating towards a focus on individualism and instant gratification, and how does it contribute to feelings of loneliness, depression, and dissatisfaction in modern relationships
A study conducted by The Pew Research Center, the share of adults in the United States who are married has been steadily declining over the past few decades, from 72% in 1960 to 50% in 2020. This decline is particularly significant among young adults, with only 29% of adults under the age of 35 being married in 2020.
Furthermore, the birth rate in the United States has also been declining. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the general fertility rate reached a record low in 2020, with 55.8 births per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44. This decline in birth rates has significant implications for the future population growth and economic stability of the country.
These trends can be attributed, at least in part, to the consequences of feminism. The feminist movement, which gained significant traction in the 1960s and 1970s, sought to challenge traditional gender roles and empower women. While it certainly achieved some progress in terms of women’s rights and opportunities, it also inadvertently led to the devaluation of traditional family structures and relationships.
Feminism framed concepts like marriage, children, and homemaking as burdens and limitations on women’s freedom and independence. By promoting the idea that women should prioritize their careers and personal fulfillment over starting a family, feminism created a cultural shift that devalued marriage and motherhood.
This cultural shift, combined with the rise of technology and dating apps, has drastically changed the landscape of modern dating. The video mentioned earlier depicts the stark difference between dating in the past and dating in the present. In the past, men would approach women in person, engage in conversation, and make a genuine effort to establish a connection. Today, dating has become a swipe culture, with individuals constantly evaluating potential partners based on superficial traits and instant gratification.
The consequences of this shift can be observed in the increasing rates of loneliness, depression, and dissatisfaction in modern relationships. The focus on individualism and self-fulfillment has left many people feeling disconnected and unfulfilled in their relationships. The prevalence of casual hookups and short-term relationships has also contributed to this sense of emptiness and lack of emotional intimacy.
Additionally, the decline in marriage rates and birth rates has significant implications for society as a whole. Marriage and family have long been recognized as fundamental building blocks of society, providing stability, support, and nurturing for individuals and communities. The breakdown of these institutions can lead to social fragmentation, increased reliance on the state, and a decline in social cohesion.
It is important to note that feminism itself is not solely responsible for these consequences. Other factors such as economic changes, technological advancements, and shifting cultural norms have also played a role. However, it is clear that the feminist movement and its focus on individualism and devaluation of traditional family structures have contributed to the dystopian reality of modern dating and its impact on society.
In order to address these consequences, it is crucial to recognize the value of traditional family structures and relationships. Instead of viewing marriage and motherhood as limitations on women’s freedom, we should promote a more balanced approach that values both career aspirations and family life. We must also encourage a shift away from superficial and instant gratification in dating towards deeper connections and emotional intimacy.
Only by acknowledging the unintended consequences of feminism and working towards a more holistic understanding of relationships can we hope to create a future where individuals can find fulfillment and true connection in their personal lives. The dystopian reality of modern dating should serve as a wake-up call for society to reevaluate its values and priorities.
