Democratic North Carolina state senator asks, ‘Why the f*** are men still in charge?’

Rabid and fanatical anti-male bigotry is nothing new in the Democratic Party. It has arguably existed for decades and been a core tenet of third-wave and fourth-wave feminism. Over the years, as feminism has fused with radical left-wing ideologies and contemporary cultural Bolshevism, it has mutated from a movement for women’s equal rights into one that embraces a fanatical hatred of men and blames all of society’s ills on them.

This sentiment was reflected in a recent Survey Center on American Life survey, which found that most Democratic women between the ages of 18 and 49 blame the challenges women face in America on men’s behavior or actions. It should come as no surprise, then, that Democratic North Carolina state Sen. Sophia Chitlik felt comfortable asking on social media, “Why the f*** are men still in charge?”
