The Age of Feminism: Dating in Western culture & Society in the present

By Kenneth Lim

October 6, 2019

Okay, I’m touching on, what is likely, to be a controversial and perhaps, debatable topic, in my opinion, regarding trying to date in the Feminism dominated society of today (and the Women’s Rights movement)

(Note: I mentioned the Western culture countries and society, rather than the Eastern countries and Eastern culture society, which I will go into on a later blog – as Feminism dominates the Western culture/society and way of thinking)

 

Firstly, before I go into the challenges that you face, when dating and attracting a, especially a beautiful and intelligent young woman, Western cultured women have really been exposed to Gender Equality, and really exposed to the Feminism movement – to smash what is, out-dated ‘Sexism’

And masculine attitudes such as ‘Male chauvinism’ (or its perceived influence in society) through past generations, is no longer socially acceptable or tolerated now….

Personally, I understand and respect that such attitudes are indeed, out-dated, to an extent

Look – Feminists have long championed for equal rights for women to make it fair for both sexes – to this extent, they have demanded, and largely, got what they have wanted – in my view, this seems reasonable – again, to an extent

However, I really feel that Feminism has gone too far – and I have a firm, tough stance on just how far it has gone; it seems that the slightest hint of ‘anything’ and ‘everything’ that could be deemed as being in favour of a man (his masculinity being deemed as superior in any way), ‘often’ causes such outcry by Feminists, in that, it is totally unacceptable..

 

And, I do believe that definitely has somewhat, a negative impact on your chances in today’s society – in meeting a potential soul mate;
Now, of course I’m not suggesting a ridiculous notion, that the majority of
women or potential soul mates you might meet out there in the dating world, are
all going to be Feminists! No, I would never suggest that!

 

What I’m saying is, the chances of saying something or suggesting something that could possibly be interpreted as offensive, especially when it comes to old-fashioned dating, where, in my view, Femininity and Masculinity was something to be blessed, this could be seen as degrading to a woman’s power in our present society.

 

My view is that, a man could still feel allowed to be unashamedly masculine
(without being a Chauvinist) and a woman could still feel unashamedly feminine

In effect, it’s not that I would ever dare to suggest ‘A woman’s place is in the kitchen!’- it’s more about the values on what used to be deemed as socially acceptable; this has largely been lost, and has gone too far to the other extreme

For many young women, they have so many Feminist role models – the challenge of having a real, old-fashioned romance is now often met with “Women power” or ‘Girl power” – not all, but in many instances

And that, to my mind, has dampened behaviours and attitudes when meeting, dating and attracting a beautiful, intelligent young woman; of course, traditional and old-fashioned values of dating and romance is not totally dead; however, the chances are much higher that she believes, or has peer pressure, to believe ‘less’ in ‘Femininity’ and more in ‘Feminism’

Questions, comments and feedback welcome!

About the author

Spiritual, holistically inclined and on a personal journey of discovery and development. I have embraced the last 30 years learning about myself, developing myself in spiritual enlightenment and awareness, and understanding how to interact with others. I have always been fascinated with observing people too - and my own journey into finding the right soulmate has been a long, and very interesting road, full of personal 'insight' and 'understanding myself' from the 'inside-out', rather than the 'outside-in'. I have always looked to find inner happiness and contentment, and heal myself from within, rather than look for external sources of ways to become happier!

  1. Hello my friend!

    I am truly touched by such a compliment 🙂

    That’s a really nice comment to receive, I write as I really mean what I feel and believe in, and it’s exactly my thoughts on the whole ‘frustrating’ world and society in our Western culture that we have to tolerate this awful ‘Groupthink’, WOKE and snowflake generation of ‘intolerance’?! REAL men are still ‘REAL’ men, and I, for one, will ‘never’ be forced to accept what is forced in my face from these Feminists and LGBT tyrants who demand superiority and not equality! Look out for more topics I will be posting my friend! Keep well now in this COVID-19 outbreak

  3. Wow, all I can say is ‘Thank you very much my friend’! I had a voice, and I had to say it, against the suppressiveness of what is going on in our Western world society… Simple as that!

  4. I will definitely check out your website Justin, and do feel free if you wish, to forward and share my posts on?

    I found a good article – written by a ‘Mark Manson’ online about the problem with Feminism – maybe check that out? There are lots of articles that are now siding with the men this time, when, decades before, women may have had a point of feeling a lack of equality – as it stands now, they have got their wish, yet the Feminists are still demanding that this world is all about ‘More rights for women’ and ‘International Womens’ Day’ – well, what about ‘International MENS’ day’?
