Feminism Like Racism Is Outdated Political Propaganda

[From article]
Virtually all feminism today is shtick. No serious person can believe the whining voices telling us that women are oppressed by men.
[. . .]
Women in America are not "oppressed" in any way at all. Men, in fact, have more reason to complain than women, but all forms of gender politics by women or by men are nonsense.
Consider the old complaint that women earn less than men. This ignores the type of work done by women and by men. The really dangerous jobs, which pay more because of the dangers associated with the work, are done by men.
Most women work in schools or offices, with all the non-monetary benefits that brings. Long haul truckers, who have to drive non-stop for many hours and shower in truck stops, do much harder work than secretaries or sales staff in a mall.
[. . .]
Feminist shtick, like some vaudeville comical routine, ignores what really matters and focuses on itself.
Even sillier [. . .] is the idea that women are worse off economically than men. Women have most of the wealth, even if they do not earn most of the wealth. Mass Mutual Financial Group reported in 2007 that women over 50 own seventy-five percent of the nation's wealth. Just as importantly, an estimated 85% of consumer purchasing decisions are made by women.
[. . .]
Even worse, because at the lowest income levels women with children on welfare get checks from the state and non-income benefits and the fathers are compelled to pay child support for these children, the true desperate poor in America are single men.
[. . .]
Black leaders have long complained about the high percentage of blacks in our criminal justice system, and the left agrees, but the Bureau of Justice Statistics reports that 94% of all prison inmates are male. If it is evidence of bigotry when whites, who are 75% of the population, are 42% of the prison population, what does it mean when women, who are more than 50% of the population, are only 5% of the prison population?
