Eine einfache Kritik des Feminismus (Geschlechterideologie in Bezug auf Frauen)

A Simple Critique of Feminism (Gender Ideology Pertaining to Women)

Feminism in the context of a career essentially means that both the husband and wife are working. So, in a family, the man works, and the woman works as well, both accumulating wealth within their family (double income). I do not have an issue if the woman holds a position because she is qualified. Obviously, I would be criticized by the masses if this qualified woman possesses something needed by the market in her career path. The issue arises when unqualified individuals feel entitled to a position merely because they subscribe to feminist ideology.

A simple example: there are four vice-rector positions, two are given to men, and two to women. This is the most foolish work distribution and contradicts natural law (sunnatullah). Positions should be given based on qualifications, not gender. If a man is qualified, make him an official; if a woman is qualified, make her an official. It should not be "because she is a woman." That’s absurd (there is no logical relation between gender and work positions, especially in specialized fields — it's a fallacy).

Nowadays, many women in bureaucracy already have husbands who are the primary breadwinners (even if the wife does not work, the family is still well-off). However, these wives often engage in intrigue within the bureaucracy, sabotaging the careers of men who are the sole breadwinners for their families, providing for their wives, children, parents, and siblings. The dark side of feminism is the "greed for income" under the lipstick of a "pleasant-sounding feminist concept." In reality, many other women are left hungry (with unmet basic needs) because a few greedy women are dazzled by the sparkles of Western utopian wisdom as an ideological path to "power." They believe this is the path that enables women to fulfill their need for self-actualization.

But when these women proudly stand atop the male-dominated bureaucracy (with the help of their husbands who are, of course also the men), they forget that they are trampling on the empty stomachs of other mothers and daughters by destroying the careers of their husbands. This social phenomenon needs a solution through education. Women who claim to adopt feminist, emancipatory, and egalitarian ideologies must also understand that they are not the only women in this world. There are other women whose livelihoods depend on their husbands, and due to the greed of some bureaucratic wives, those women are left hungry because their husbands are laid off.

Just imagine, the salary in a particular region (let’s just say the minimum wage, without even considering allowances) is already designed to meet the monthly needs of a family, with double that amount allocated for one person's salary. So, when a father works, he already earns enough to support his wife, children, and parents in his family, plus half of it goes to savings (usually used for paying installments). Thus, when both the husband and wife are working, they are bringing in enough income for two families but are spending it on just one family, doubling their savings. But then, heartlessly, they become "witches" by killing the livelihoods of those families who only have one wage-earner.

Feminism is an ideology of individualism, but if we view it from the collective perspective of family, we have always practiced cooperation in our noble family culture. Therefore, if transformation is to be done, it must be done wisely. Improve your qualifications, do not boost your self-existence by recklessly cutting corners, competing in cruelty, and indulging in pettiness as is the current reality for followers of feminist ideology.
