Men suffering from monomania in arts, engineering, or protecting their families, may sometimes be celebrated.
From Hitler, Mussolini, Pol Pot, Mao Tse Tung, and Vladmir Putin, there has never been a man in history who’s been long celebrated for monomania in the political arena.
There seems to be a remarkable blindspot for female ideologues with the monomaniacal idea of women’s unique victimhood.
Many believe competitive victimhood is a new feature of the feminist movement.
Dr. Janice Fiamengo again uses source materials and the words of early feminists themselves in her video, The Victimhood Craze in Early Feminism: The Case of Elizabeth Cady Stanton to clarify this is not a bug of these movements but an original feature.
Her contention is that “Feminism is a victim mentality disorder.”
In other words, it embodies and exacerbates a delusion of unique persecution that results in a radically lessened empathy for others.
Further, she demonstrates in convincing detail using the words and letters of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and other early feminists to detail their racist, anti-immigrant and anti-male bigotry and viciously self-centered monomania as it relates to the Black vote vs. the rights of wealthy white women to vote.
“It is testimony to the sickness of the modern feminist movement that feminist historians have never objected to the vengeful anti-male fervor and self-pitying obsessions at the heart of Stanton’s life and advocacy,” says Dr. Fiamengo.
Stanton was among the most famous self-pitying early feminists disadvantaged and stigmatized by being born female, who called out women’s subordination, crying at her speeches in order to manipulate her audiences.
Victimology
At the age of 25 years, Stanton was so convinced of her worldview she argued incessantly and had a fit on her honeymoon after writing that she wanted to kill a man who disagreed with her by, “wringing his neck.”
Author of the Declaration of Sentiments, she also knew so much about everything that she felt confident arguing for the universal good of the:
- Liberalization of divorce laws
- Legal exemptions for women who commit crimes
- Updating the Bible to reflect its Gender Ideology
Vindictiveness
Fiamengo quotes Stanton after a conference of Teachers rejected her position on pay demands, “The sooner the current generation of women die out, the better.”
Hardly remarkable as it compares to today’s “Punch a TERF” attitudes for Women who question the current orthodoxy, but still telling of the underlying similarities of how independently-minded Women are kept in line by Ideologue bullies.
Self-Centeredness
At the end of the Civil War, Stanton was outraged that Blacks were going to get the right to vote before wealthy White women. Contrary to Staton’s writings that claimed Women like her were enslaved.
“So long as Women are slaves, we shall be Knaves” – Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Stanton writes that culturally inferior “Sambos” should not get the vote before her.
Perhaps tellingly, well over a hundred eighty three years ago, wealthy, elite, white feminists, are still celebrated today for stealing the valor and competing for the righteous victim status with Black men.
This quote from Sarah Grimke’ reveals this is all nothing new under the sun.
“All I ask of our brethren is that they will take their feet from our necks and permit us to stand upright on that ground which God designed us to occupy.” – Sarah Grimké, 1837
While Stanton’s anti-Black racism and disgusting bigotry is sometimes disavowed by some of today’s feminists, her Irish and German immigrant bigotry doesn’t raise an eyebrow.
Similarity with Marxism
While many suggest Stanton’s upper class white female oppression, professed in the Declaration of Sentiments, may have been influenced by Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto, Fiamengo thinks not.
I tend to agree with Dr. Fiamengo on this and while having a relatively deep understanding of the psychological and philosophical roots of Marxism, I’d suspect Marx was actually expressing and unleashing the destructive force of female pattern aggression and victim sanctity on the world.
Variants of Marxism have destroyed civilizations and are responsible for a huge percentage of much of the death over the last century. Like Feminist victimology, Women and Marxist Children refuse to acknowledge this harm.
As of this writing, many middle class, educated White women still feel aggrieved, oppressed, deprived, and entitled to reparations.
