Translation: More Gems From Suzanne Venker | Clarissa's Blog
I think this is a good and accurate translation of a misanthropist's rants. Hatred between men and women is born out of traditional gender relations, where both men and women would trap each other in some way, in order to co-opt them into the family system. Men would be deceived through the promise of sex, to become providers, no matter how they were feeling. Women would be compelled to play their role as housewives and mothers, through economic default. There were few ways for women to make a living on their own, in the past.
Now, everything is changing and this is obvious from each new generation. The up and coming one has very little sexism in it, even compared to my generation.
There is much less reason for anyone to be angry than before. Only the sexists, who want to hold back progress, are still enraged.
