Modern feminism and democratic socialism often move in the same direction by weakening the family as society’s primary support structure and shifting dependence toward government and centralized institutions.
Modern feminism frequently frames traditional family roles—especially homemaking, motherhood, and male leadership—as oppressive, outdated, or inherently unequal. That cultural shift has coincided with declining marriage rates, delayed family formation, and falling birthrates across much of the Western world.
Democratic socialism expands government responsibility for needs once primarily met through family, church, charity, and local communities—healthcare, childcare, education, housing, and welfare. Policies such as universal state-run childcare or large-scale entitlement expansion may reduce immediate burdens, but they also move more responsibility away from families and toward bureaucratic systems.
Supporters argue these policies strengthen families by reducing financial stress. I understand that argument. My concern is the tradeoff: assistance rarely comes without increased taxation, regulation, and institutional dependence.
I am not saying every feminist or democratic socialist consciously wants to destroy the family. I am saying the cultural and economic incentives these ideologies promote often produce that result: weaker family bonds, less self-sufficiency, and greater dependence on centralized systems.
Strong families create resilient, independent citizens. The weaker the family becomes, the more power shifts elsewhere.

Sure, but so does capitalism. Divorce is big business. Where once families needed only one house, one car and one house full of furnishings, broken families now require two homes, two cars, two sets of furnishings. Every holiday and birthday comes with multiple lots of gifts. You think all the companies that benefit financially want that to end?
Putting women into the workforce doubles labor potential which naturally lowers wages in a primarily supply side economy such as ours. Especially one in which the government too often participates in the suppression of labor unions. Now many families need daycare too.
The government gets their cut by assessing fees for collecting and distributing alimony and child support. All the taxes on the unnecessarily doubled goods and services for two households. Not to mention licensing and inspection fees for state approved daycare programs.
We’re talking about BILLIONS, all brought to you by capitalism, and none of it is going anywhere. Even if you could put on the Infinity Gauntlet and snap your fingers to make feminism and socialism just disappear, nothing would change. Those big corporations and the government are going to get your money no matter what. Capitalism isn’t the altruistic end all, be all solution to everything that you think it is. The rich will always get richer and the poor will always get poorer regardless of what label you put on the system in place.
Democratic socialism creates losers among countries. It doesn’t work well and you need some other country to pick up the bill for defense as they become weak.
Modern feminism is a path to a full-time job, low pay and a lonely life. The women of previous generations had better more fulfilling lives I would bet.
These countries need to constantly attract new immigrants to survive. They don’t though. Venezuela is probably a good example as they were very wealthy in the early 1990s with oil money and now people can’t even afford the basics without financial strain. Their problem is nobody now wants to move there, only away from there.
Exactly. Democratic socialism sounds compassionate at first, but over time it creates dependence, higher costs, weaker private institutions, and less self-sufficiency. And modern feminism often does something similar culturally by treating traditional marriage, motherhood, and family roles as burdens instead of strengths.
Spot on. I hope more people come to realize it.
I agreed. You put it very nicely.
Socialism is willfully surrendering your freedom to a totalitarian system claiming to work for your benefit but ultimately taking away all your choices.
Freedom is messy but it’s worth it. Always.
Suggestion: Stop letting a clickbait-clown like Tim Poop fill your head with political big words that he himself doesn't understand. Just worry about your own family skills, huh?
Calling it “Tim Pool big words” is not an argument. I explained exactly what I meant: modern feminism weakens traditional family roles culturally, while democratic socialism shifts responsibility from families and communities to the state economically. You can disagree, but dismissing the argument with insults does not refute it.
No! But they sure do try awful hard to do that.
I have a question for you.
If feminists hate men so much - who are they having sex with?🤷🏼♀️
Other women
@sage2021, That’s my point. I’m not saying every feminist consciously hates the family, but modern feminism often undermines traditional family roles while pretending there are no consequences.
Marriage rates are declining, birth rates are falling, and men and women are increasingly moving in opposite political directions. A lot of progressive, feminist, and democratic socialist women openly talk about rejecting men, marriage, motherhood, and even sex with men as a political statement. The Korean “4B” mindset is one example of that attitude spreading.
Some feminist women still have sex with men, but the broader ideology often separates sex from marriage, motherhood, and family formation. When marriage and motherhood are framed as oppressive or patriarchal, abortion becomes easier to defend as “liberation” instead of being treated with moral seriousness.
The result is weaker marriage, delayed family formation, less trust between men and women, falling birthrates, abortion without moral seriousness, and more dependence on institutions instead of family.
Not every individual feminist hates the family, but the ideology often teaches women to view traditional marriage and motherhood as oppression rather than as something valuable.
You're 💯% right. I would have never thought that our society would flip the script the way that they have, but they did.
Two each their own I guess. It's very sad to me though.
I agree. The shift happened gradually, often by reframing duty, sacrifice, marriage, and motherhood as burdens rather than meaningful callings.
Freedom matters, but a culture that treats commitment, family, and responsibility as oppressive should not be surprised when trust declines and families weaken.
When family stops being valued, society feels the consequences.
Exactly! 💯 🙂
I’m glad we agree, @sage2021
Feminism the way it is now is a pos and the Democrat party is a pos, so I suppose yes, at least in influence if you let them.
Mo'Natcha!!
That's its direct target. It hates the nuclear family.
Pretty simple actually. They're all trying to fuck their dad.
That's the core of the commie agenda.
yes obvious!
Generally yes
Yes it's cancer
No...
Why no? I’m not saying every individual feminist or democratic socialist wants to destroy the family. I’m saying the incentives often move in that direction: less family responsibility, more state responsibility, and weaker traditional bonds.
