Finally, a celebrity with courage. It’s so refreshing.
I admit I had to look up who Laurence Fox is, but I’m glad I did. Apparently, the British actor caused a stir for admitting he broke up with his girlfriend because of her stance on #BelieveWomen and the bogus concept of toxic masculinity. He now refuses to date women under 35 because most are “woke” and honestly believe they’re oppressed.
Fox, 41, made his comments last week in an interview on The James Delingpole Podcast. “I don’t know how we ended up together,” he said about his former girlfriend. “It was a very short relationship. We were walking down the road, and she was talking about how good the Gillette advert was. I just looked at her and went, ‘Bye. Sorry, I can’t do this with you.’”
And here’s the most important part: “You know when a woman starts speaking to you like that you need to run,” Fox said. “She’s literally giving you two very strong hints that she’s about to make your life miserable.”
Bingo.
There are very few men in the modern world who haven’t been in the same boat as Fox at one time or another — dating a woman who, somewhere along the line, lets her extremist feminism out. When it happens, that’s when a man needs to run. Fox is dead-on: Dating women like that is going to make your life miserable.
At the very least, she’ll upend it to such a degree you won’t recognize it anymore. Look at Prince Harry. He married a woman so committed to feminist ideology she got excited about the idea that adherence to it starts in the womb. “I had seen this documentary on Netflix about feminism, and one of the things they said during pregnancy was ‘I feel the embryonic kicking of feminism.’ I loved that,” Meghan Markle said.
Harry says he supports his wife’s activism because it reminds him of his mother. But Markle’s activism is of a very different flavor. As Fox said: “This is the problem if you’re priming women to believe they’re victims and that this is a tyrannical patriarchy. It’s not like they’ve got a solution for that. They just want a matriarchy. Exactly the same, just the women in charge.”
He’s right. The Shriver Report, at one point delivered to each of the Fortune 500 CEOs, all 535 members of Congress, and President Barack Obama, urged policymakers to “change everything” to put women in charge. It boasted: “As we move into this phase we’re calling a woman’s nation, women can turn their pivotal role as wage-earners, as consumers, as bosses, as opinion-shapers, as co-equal partners in whatever we do into a potent force for change. Emergent economic power gives women a new seat at the table — at the head of the table.”
That’s what modern feminism is: a push to disempower men to create a matriarchy. “Equality” is just a ruse to get folks on board. And so many people fall for it, men included. After all, who could be against equality? It was a brilliant tactic.
But some men, such as Fox, see through it — and they’re wise to do so. When his former girlfriend told him he should always believe the victim, he said: “No, you don’t believe the victim. That’s not how it works. You listen to the victim. The victim’s evidence is examined, and a jury of their peers makes that decision.”
Every man should push back against any woman who tells him how to think and feel. “Woke” young women who believe they’re oppressed will never make a good wife, so do what Fox did.
Run.
