[April 17, 2025] Darleen Lev, an ex-feminist, is being interviewed about her thoughts about how feminism has betrayed women in the West. In a recent video, she gives us a brutal takedown of feminism (see video here in its entirety, 1:10:17).
“I was so taken by our childless women ruining the world that I plan to incorporate the dialogue into a chapter/essay for the book. I heard of the cause of the problem put on men. I agree but I would like to explore how feminism destroyed the courtship that much more directly that led to marriage and family formation.” – Darleen Lex
Darlene says she has considered writing a book called “The Dumb Feminist Life” about how feminism has self-destroyed so much of itself. In this interview, Darleen is telling feminist women that they themselves are accountable for the dating and courting chaos we are seeing today.
Darleen came of age during the sexual revolution, when things changed from a focus on the family to being a good civic citizen and learning about proper moral behavior. This is when the culture flips; the media, politics, and movies all convey the message that for women to be empowered and free, they must become the “boss babe” in charge. As for men, they “serve no value.”
She remembers hearing on television that the Supreme Court passed Roe v Wade and thinking, “Wow, I can do whatever I want.” She could now have an abortion legally and without consequences. Along with more birth control – like the pill – we were completely liberated into casual sex.
Darleen says it was even like you “were supposed to” have casual sex. The arbiters of correct opinions were now imposing this on us. She tells us about how the media promoted the idea that “you can live like a man [having hedonistic sex]” and “you don’t have to live like your mother [sex only inside marriage].” Casual sex was liberating, and something was wrong with you if you didn’t engage loosely with men.
Traditional women were now out of style and old-fashioned. Women’s magazines like Cosmopolitan were all about “women’s lib” and how enlightened and hip the new woman was. Remember Helen Reddy’s I Am Woman (1971), where the words “no one’s going to keep me down again” were the best thing to happen in the history of the world.
“It was women who gave men permission to be [sexually and relationship] irresponsible.” – Darleen Lex
All this behavioral change and freedom has consequences. Men really got hit hard. Their wives turned on them because of the “we don’t need no man” attitude. Their families were destroyed, and their kids were taken away. Now, men are hesitant to get married or even to have a relationship.
“One of the greatest tragedies of the feminist project is denying how much men have lived and cherished women and their work.”
It was women who decided that being a mother was not valuable anymore and that motherhood was drudgery and akin to a form of slavery. Within this despicable narrative, men are demonized and seen as disposable.

Please read my books:
I feel bad for young women because her teachers, her parents, and her society continue to lie to her that her best self is to be a boss babe and should avoid having children.
…. and who is surprised?
Feminism = death of the family.
Death of the Family = destroyed lives, crime, heartache, and a tortured death.
Don’t let leftists define what people want and desire for their families. Else, we lose the battle against true Evil and that is Feminism.
Yep, well said , Kerry. 👍👍👍👍👍
Exactly right and Ms. Lev says it here.
“One of the greatest tragedies of the feminist project is denying how much men have lived and cherished women and their work.”
I recommend this VERY BIASED article where you can get a taste of the 4ht Wave of Feminism being propagandized.
“Everything you wanted to know about fourth wave feminism—but were afraid to ask”
https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/culture/44809/everything-you-wanted-to-know-about-fourth-wave-feminismbut-were-afraid-to-ask
On 22nd January, the day after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, millions of women marched across dozens of countries to demand equal rights. The women’s march was organised in reaction to the hyper-masculinity of Trump’s election campaign, and his attitude towards women throughout—from his stance against reproductive rights, at one point threatening to jail women who had abortions, to his boasts of “grabbing ’em by the pussy.” But the day also became a focal point for grievances that have been building since the emergence of what is now being called the fourth wave of feminism—following on from previous waves that began with the struggle for the right to vote in the late 19th century, moved through the liberation movements of the 1960s and on to the debates surrounding pop culture and gender theory in the 1980s.
CRAZY
The pro-feminist propaganda is still strong. Just look at Rachel Zegler but also how that propagandized ideology has hurt her professionally.
Funny how all these so-called feminists are suddenly wanting the traditional life with husband and kids but only after they have practiced the opposite in their early adulthood, lots of having sex with many men. They have chosen …. And they chose poorly. I see this all the time with “boss girls” who are living alone with their cats. They are even alone when working and they don’t figure it out until they have past the reproductive wall. Men no longer want to wife them up. They made their bed, and now it’s time for them to lay down in it.
We can pray they live a better life, even without a family and no one to care for them as they slowly age with their house cats. 🙏
I am an ex-feminist – to use this “description “ – but now am saved from that horror.
Sadly, young females in America are still being lied to by feminists and still making those young females unhappy. Most will not have any children and will forever regret following this horrendous Marxism ideology of feminism. Thank you Gen. Satterfield and for also publishing a book on how to make yourself a good person.

Judy, you beat me to recommending Gen. Satterfield’s book. Well done.
