What were these mistakes, if I may ask? I'm pro equality too. In fact, I see myself as a feminist, even though I'm a man. Strange, I know.
We liberated women from civilisation, allowing them to embrace individualism & survival of the fittest.
Without liberating men, or giving men a value outside of paternalism. Leaving men with the internalised misandry & obligations of patriarchy & no real benefits, potentially even being punished for doing what is expected.
The gender wage gap is just that men are obligated to compete against women, because of hypergamy.
The fact you can't even question this stuff without being labelled a misogynist or red pilled, means we are locked in on a course of extinction or populism (like Trump).
The first/second wave feminists weren't wrong in thinking something needed to change, but didn't understand quite what the effect would be of the specific changes. When people bought up the issues that would arise, they were met with "trust me bro".
Pre feminism was basically DEI for men, to keep society stable. If we can't prevent women from using ambition and success as their major attractive traits, we are never going to have a stable society again. The more gains that women make in success, the more men are excluded from the dating market. If men don't have a stake in society, they have no reason to care if it remains civilised or not.
We're now in a positive feedback loop, as women find themselves feeling more unsafe, it's leading them to acting in ways that make society less cohesive and therefore more unsafe, resulting in them acting in further ways that make society less cohesive and on and on.
