Where There's a Will, There's a Way!
I have discovered a new blog that is unquestionably of the non-feminist sector, and I deem it the sort of thing that folk such as ourselves would find worthy. The name of this blog is Planet Will, and I have boldly purloined the most recent post for your enjoyment, as follows:

Why Feminism Will DieBut now, get thee thither thine own self!
"In physics, the perpetual motion machine may be defined as any device that continues its motion perpetually without diminution, and it has never been achieved despite claims by one huckster after another. The reason these devises don’t work is the fact that they eventually wind down, generally due to friction.
"Feminism is comparable, being that in order for it to continue it must overcome friction, lest it wind down and stop. The friction that afflicts feminism comes from two sources. One is internal to this system, the other is external.
"The internal friction comes from merely having to continually drive home the concept that women are victimized, while at the same time they are gaining the upper hand in society. In other words, it becomes difficult to maintain a status of victimization when the supposed victims are dominating in education, social benefit, and government representation.
"The external friction comes from those in our society who simply recognize this machine as a huckster’s scheme, and one that operates to their detriment. All creatures great and small are generally governed by self interest, and with the realization that feminism is counter-productive to their well being, acts to overcome it will follow.
"The external friction is growing by leaps and bounds. Men, and some women, are realizing that they are receiving a bad deal. While feminism is struggling to maintain it’s facade of victimization, those that have had the epiphany regarding feminism's demeanor are beginning to act.
"The days of feminism are numbered, and external friction will be the last nail in its coffin."

Thankyou Fidelbogen.
Another point for the analogy of the demise of feminism (and everything else)to entropy. ;-)

Interesting. I agree it will collapse however I think it will take Western Civ with it. It's end will come as our economy implodes and totalitarian rule takes over.
""The internal friction comes from merely having to continually drive home the concept that women are victimized,"
Part of the momentum comes from the myth of past oppressions and victimization. They paint themselves as the superheroes who saved woman from a past of drudgery and slavery. They use this to get more recruits by saying "You (women) owe the feminist movement for your lack of oppression in life today."
@LL: I would quibble with that a bit. Feminism has been a totalitarian shoehorn par excellence, in terms of enabling more and more state intrusion into smaller and smaller crevices of private life. (Remember: "The personal is the political".)
Economic collapse (it seems to me) would lead to some beastly awfulness - chaos, lawlessnes, urban warlordism, etc...
But not totalitarian awfulness. Feminism (among other factors) has been a powerful force for the totalitarian development of the body-politic. However, universal collapse and the ensuing anarchic barbarism would tend to obliterate feminism et al due to the traumatic dose of "reality therapy" it would inflict upon the world.
Vaporous fooleries like feminism would be among the first casualties in such a pandemic cultural "wildfire of the vanities". . .
And the obliteration of feminism would spell erasure for the very BASIS of that totalitarian system which has been steadily building for years now.
So I question whether "totalitarian" would be a correct description for the "brave new world" that might emerge post-collapse and post-feminism.
On the contrary, that world might offer considerable freedom of a cutthroat, dog-eat-dog variety!
Nasty and bloody, to be sure, but not likely "totalitarian".
I think the both of you were referring to different forms of societal degeneration. The first was a dystopia and the latter anarchy. :)
