If the average American were asked what they imagine the priorities of the feminist movement are these days, most people would likely cite concerns like "fighting abortion bans" or "getting justice for sexual violence victims" or boring mainstays like "equal pay for equal work." But if you listen in to the world of right-wing social media influencers, they have a different answer. To them, feminists are single-mindedly obsessed with destroying women who identify as "tradwives."

Remember boys and men: If you can’t get a girlfriend, much less a woman of your dreams, just become radicalized by a fringe extremist group on the internet.

Worked great for the Taliban, hasn't it?

Exactly, if you can force all women to be subservient, they'll have to date you.

Depends on whether the 72 virgins thing is true. And if said virgins are girls.

Surprise! Your 72 virgins are other hopelessly radicalized young men from your cult!

The 72 virgins are the friends we made along the way to martyrdom.

Did it? Sure, their buddies are in charge, but they still have to live in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, and it seems to be a shithole by virtually every definition.
