"If you want to be happily married, discern women carefully. Being pretty, young, and Christian is not enough. She may be the most beautiful woman that you have ever seen, but turn away if you encounter any of the following:

1.“I am a strong independent woman.”

2.“My career comes first.”

3.“I don’t want to be ‘just a mom.‘”

4.“I’m not a bra-burning Feminist, but I do think Feminism has been a good thing.” (This is akin to the argument: “Planned Parenthood does some good things so let’s not condemn it.”)

5.She scorns films that aren’t Bechdel-approved.

6.She insists on paying her half of the tab.

7.She looks down on courtesies that you provide, such as opening the door, driving, and paying, as insults.

8.She advocates government policies that promote sterilization, Planned Parenthood, no-fault divorce, slut-walks, women’s reproductive rights, etc.

9.Profuse profanity. Every Feminist I have ever met has been generous with profanity. They love dropping the f-bomb, in particular. I suspect Feminists believe that this is “empowering” or makes them “like one of the guys.” In reality, it’s ugly and degrading.

10.She shows annoyance around babies or small children.

11.She makes fun of her father by mocking him.

12.She frequently uses the word “patriarchy,” but she is not referring to the bishops of Antioch, Moscow, or Constantinople.

Can someone tell me what in the world this means?

Growing up in the 1960s and 1970s, I remember this kind of attitude. I'm a young teenage boy and I open a door for a woman and rather than saying thank you or even just ignoring me, she would say, "Do you think my arm is broken? I can open the door myself," or something along those lines. This was a prevalent attitude. So much so, that I pretty much stopped opening doors for any woman except my own mother who was always appreciative.

Today, most women I encounter will smile and say thank you, though there are a few who seem to be annoyed. Most of the women I find who are visibly hostile are my age and a little older, that is, they are the women who were in their 20s during the 1960s and 1970s.

But this one has taken over the petty complaints about opening a door. I detest hearing women curse and it is certainly not limited to just a few. Women seem to curse worse than a sailor for petty annoyances. Many don't even have to get outright angry before cursing worse than most men. I would stay far away from any woman uses such language routinely.

It's some stupid test to see if works of fiction write women characters well. Basically, if two women in the movie/book talk to one another without a man present, about something other than a man, it passes. The entire thing is really stupid.

How about listing the signs of trad feminists?

If a "man" doesn't have a natural aversion or repulsion to the aforementioned warning signs, if he can't see on his own that these are red flags, he is probably already a lost cause.
