'For several years, there has been a disturbing rise in the number of girls committing violent crimes at ever younger ages.
Last month, rival girl gangs used snooker balls in socks to batter each other in a mass brawl at a railway station at Shoreham, West Sussex.
In March, a 15-year-old girl was jailed for using a mobile phone to film two drunken teenage male friends beating a man to death in Keighley, West Yorkshire.
The reason for this parlous state of affairs lies in a combination of a collapse of family life and parenthood, depriving children of the love, security and discipline that are crucial in producing orderliness from within, and a parallel collapse in the willingness of the criminal justice system to impose orderliness from without.
On top of all this, however, modern feminism has added an extra and unforeseen twist.

The original 19th-century feminist pioneers, who fought for women's rights in a society where they really were second-class citizens, would surely have been appalled without measure had they been able to see into the future.

The suffragettes were none too noble themselves, in my opinion. In fact, I see very little difference between the writings and screechings of modern feminists and those of the suffragettes in the past.
At around 1900, the suffragettes were saying, "If women had the vote, there would be no more wars."
Today, it has merely become, "If a woman were President, there would be no more wars."
I see very little difference in the mentality.
The past may have indeed been somewhat misogynist... but, perhaps there was very good reason - and, maybe, it has more to do with the nature of "women," rather than "2nd Wave Feminism."
The answers to why women were kept as "2nd Class Citizens" so often throughout history, are becoming more evident with each passing day.
All that feminism has done is removed the safeguards that protected society from the masochistic and destructive nature of women.
