Carlson Details Negative Impact Of ‘Feminism’ Around The World

While feminists in generations past claimed that their goal was to compensate for society’s long-standing gender inequities, more recent versions of the ideology have been widely denounced as efforts to erase any meaningful differences between the two sexes.

In Ireland, a current movement is underway to remove certain words — including “woman” and “mother” — from constitutional passages related to Irish families. Barrister Laoise de Brun is pushing back against this plan and recently joined influential U.S. political commentator Tucker Carlson to discuss this specific issue and the larger related problem impacting nations across the West.

Carlson attributed some of the changes to rapidly shifting demographics in European and North American nations, which has led to the systematic erasure of cultural histories. 

“We want to warn you this could shock you,” the host advised. “Here’s what the Irish Constitution says as of right now: ‘The state recognizes that by her life within the home, the woman gives to the state a support without which the common good cannot be achieved. The state shall therefore endeavor to ensure that mothers shall not be obliged, by economic necessity, to engage in labor to the neglect of their duties in the home.’”

Touting that passage as perhaps “the most female-affirming possible language ever written,” Carlson lamented that it could be rejected depending on the outcome of a vote set for Friday, which also happens to be International Women’s Day.

He then introduced de Brun, who denounced the “very reductive branch of feminism” that has brought about such efforts and teaches women: “Act like a man, behave like a man, pretend you don’t have periods, miscarriages. You don’t give birth, you don’t gestate, you don’t lactate.”

The same broad movement, she argued, has also pushed women into the workforce without putting similar pressure on men to take up more responsibility in the home. 

“So what happens now when we look at the statistics in Ireland, you know, Irish women are typically working full time, but they’re coming home and doing 38 hours extra a week of unpaid labor,” she added.

Attempting to get to the “bottom line” of the cultural shift, Carlson asserted: “If you’re trying to convince a population or prevent a population from having children, from reproducing itself, maybe you don’t love the population. Maybe you hate the population.”
