As modern-day feminism continues to infiltrate society, the “future is female” sentiment only grows stronger. At least in some circles. Currently, there’s a push by far too many on the left to see all masculinity as toxic. This could not be further from the truth. While there are certainly bad individuals who exhibit the worst kind of behavior, such as Andrew Tate, masculinity in itself is not toxic. So the desire to label all of it as bad is not only false but noticeably odd.
In Texas, a woman named Robyn Yerian has created what she calls The Bird’s Nest. This is a small commune for women only. According to the 70-year-old Yerian, she runs the so-called utopia with “no men and no drama.”
THERE IS NO FEMINIST SOLUTION TO THE FERTILITY CRISIS
Americans, men or women, are free to live as they want. If they prefer not to be around the opposite sex, they’re allowed to do so. But the idea that a commune free of men would be better on that fact alone and be free of drama is nothing but wishful thinking. It is certainly not reality. Males and females were created to complement one another. Both males and females have strengths and weaknesses. To behave as if one side of the aisle is better or unhindered by the human condition is to avoid the truth entirely. But this is the mindset Robyn Yerian seems to hold.
One of the main goals of The Bird’s Nest is to “empower women.” I don’t know the political and cultural leanings of those who live there. However, a women-only commune meant to empower females is essentially telling us that life in a world where men and women inhabit the same public, professional, or personal spaces is unfair to women. It suggests that existing alongside men somehow reduces a woman’s ability to succeed in any area. Again, I’m not sure what prompted this attitude, but it reeks of third-wave feminism that views men as enemies who must stay away. That’s a destructive mentality to hold and also pass down to future generations.
As a woman, I take great issue with the claim that a women-only commune is one that includes no drama. First of all, “no drama” is impossible for any living situation that includes more than one person. Eventually, there will be conflict. Even with the best intentions. Secondly, women are usually more emotional than men. This is just how we are wired. As with other inherent qualities, they can be good and bad. For example, women are more likely to be compassionate and nurturing. There is also a great tendency to overreact at times. So a “no men, no drama” tagline for a supposed haven only occupied by women is far-fetched at best. Sure, there may not be a great deal of drama, but there is no way The Bird’s Nest is a place with no drama at all.
Like it or not, the world we live in is filled with males and females, both young and old. It is one thing to stay away from truly harmful individuals. But to automatically conclude that life is better without males around? That’s a feminist delusion. It also doesn’t take into account that in male and female relationships, it’s not solely the man’s responsibility to ensure things are harmonious. That duty falls equally to both people. And if the relationship is strained, whether it be friend, professional, or romantic, it requires that both parties work on things and, if need be, compromise. Pinning all the blame on men feels right only if you’ve bought into the lies.
WHERE DID ALL THE MALE ROLE MODELS GO?
Personally, I don’t care if women want to establish a commune with no men or if men want a commune with no women. You’re allowed to do as you please in this free country. In 2025, misandry exists alongside misogyny. But the former is easier to sell given the history of feminism in this country. But just as sexism against women is wrong, so too is sexism against men.
“The future is female” sounds terrible because it would be terrible. The Bird’s Nest and the women who occupy it can live however they please. But it’s utter nonsense to act as if a world without men is better. While it’s unquestionably different, it is most assuredly not improved.
