With hundreds of thousands of confirmed coronavirus cases worldwide, businesses are struggling to cope with lost revenue, forced closures, and disrupted supply chains. Quarantine measures have not only restricted personal movement but have had a direct and deleterious effect on business practices and activity.
This is a fact. And the economic effects are no joke.
Even though the coronavirus crisis is far from over, and many of its impacts are yet to come, it hasn’t stopped feminists from attempting to take over the narrative – and turn a deadly virus into a battle of the sexes.
At first, articles appeared saying that this pandemic will be a disaster for feminism – that women will find themselves shouldering most domestic activities, such as housework and caring for children.
Feminist voices argue that because women comprise the largest number of employees in non-essential business roles, they will be disproportionately affected both socially and financially. They make this claim despite the fact that men are suffering from and dying from the illness at much higher rates.
Considering that loss of income has become a significant point of discussion for both men and women, it’s interesting that no feminists are addressing the coronavirus pay gap.
For the longest time, the feminist doctrine has argued that there is a deliberate, sexist disparity in pay between the sexes. They believe that for every dollar a man earns, a woman is paid 20 cents less. While much of this can be explained by lifestyle and job choices, and the flawed methodology by which the gap is calculated, the idea persists.
But, by the standards of feminist logic, wouldn’t the pay gap work in reverse? During this time of intense economic downturn, for every dollar a man loses, women would be losing only 79 cents.
If we’re being totally fair about this, wouldn’t that make men the people most in need of financial compensation and support?
Many Western countries have initiatives entirely dedicated to closing the pay gap, enacting gender quotas or passing specific legislation designed to address the perceived inequality between the sexes.
So, why should coronavirus be any different?
For a movement that purports to care deeply about equality, it is interesting that no feminist activists, writers or politicians have made mention of this startling disparity in monetary loss. And, if men are indeed losing more money than women during this time, shouldn’t they then be compensated accordingly?
While many of us have brought up the coronavirus pay gap in jest, it still underscores the dishonest nature of the feminist movement. In times of economic stability, it is an ideology all too happy to promote a thoroughly debunked concept, forcing governments to institute insane initiatives to close a non-existent disparity.
But, when it comes to legitimate, tangible economic crisis and downturn, they’re silent.
The truth is, the majority of the third-wave feminist movement isn’t interested in inequality when that inequality negatively concerns the lives and experiences of men. And, it’s unlikely that any notable feminist voices will spare a second of their time considering the consequences men might be facing during this time of economic hardship.

Do You Approve of Trump’s COVID-19 Response? [TAKE THE SURVEY]
Sydney Watson
Writer. Journalist. Australian/American political commentator. And your very favourite deplorable. To be fair, I actually hate writing these "about me" things. Honestly, if you're reading this, on a scale of one to "not even a little", how much do you care? Ya don't. But I digress. If you're here, I'm glad. I hope you enjoy my commentary on all things political and my questionable accent.
“Feminist aka Betty Frieden” has nothing to do with female, both girl and woman.
Feminist is a cult of depraved debauchery in the head.
Females scorn them.
I totally agree. I was raised to be a strong woman, but not to try to be a man or to belittle men. I despise the women who are cheating little boys out of being masculine!
Pull all Sydney Watson report because she bias a one sided opinionated journalist totally wrong.
What if my wife really enjoys taking care of the kids, if I took all of those chores away from her would that make her life less rewarding or more rewarding? If I gave my wife the chores that I do that she does not like would that make her life less rewarding or more rewarding. OR, what if she gets to do the things she enjoys most, I get to do the things I enjoy most and we split the things up that neither of us enjoy?
The problem with leftists seems to be they dread everything in life and they are not happy unless everyone else is miserable too, although they assume everyone else is miserable for some reason. Life is too short to waste being miserable, of course if being miserable is the only thing you enjoy then you have that right.
What a bunch of bull crap!
I am a woman. I have a husband, father, son, brothers, nephew, uncles… I have female relatives that I love and cherish just as much as my male relatives. I am highly offended and insulted by nearly every word from the hate-filled women and men who claim to be so called “feminists”. Listening to the irrational hateful rants leads me to believe that most “feminists” are suffering from mental illness.
They are.
I have one word for the feminists: SHUT UP
From its very beginning, the feminist movement has been a Communist Front, like the environmental movement, and the gay movement. They have taken a valid cause, and turned into a Liberal- Communist agenda. Note how the feminist movement treats women under Communist regimes, its horrifying.
Bella Pelosi, better known as Dracula. Sneaked in a 1 billion Dollar funding for Plan Parenthood (The abortion factory) and other things that have nothing to do with the Coronavirus bill. Evil and Devious indeed! Never let a crisis go to waste is one of the Demoncrat 10 Satanic Commandments.
Wuhan Virus Bioweapon AKA: China Virus, Coronavirus weaponized by China and their treasonous Godless demoncratic Commie party and cohorts the fake media, academia, Hollywood, Millennials.RINOs..to crash the greatest US economy ever! And to take down the greatest president ever, President Trump!! Keep up the great work President Trump! 2020 and beyond! From the Patriots of a Commie Demoncrat free America!
*SCENE 1 :
The curtain opens: China becomes ill, enters a “crisis” and paralyzes its trade. The curtain closes.
*SCENE II.*
The curtain opens: The Chinese currency is devalued. They do not do anything. The curtain closes.
*SCENE III.*
The curtain opens:: Due to the lack of trade of companies from Europe and the USA that are based in China, their shares fall 40% of their value.
*SCENE IV.*
The curtain opens:: The world is ill, China buys 30% of the shares of companies in Europe and the US at a very low price. The curtain closes.
*SCENE V.*
The curtain opens: China has controlled the disease and owns companies in Europe and the US. And he decides that these companies stay in China and earn $ 20,000Billions. The curtain closes. How is the play called?
*SCENE VI:*
*Checkmate!*
*Amazing but true*
At first they were too prepared. Three weeks after the start of the roll, 14 days and a 12,000-bed hospitals were already under construction. And they really built them in two weeks.
Awesome.
Yesterday they announced that they had stopped the epidemic. They appear in videos celebrating, they announce that they even have a vaccine. How could they create it so quickly without having all the genetic information? Well if you are the owner of the formula it is not difficult at all.
And today I just saw a video that explains how Den Xiao Ping gave the west a half stick. Due to the coronavirus, the actions of Western companies in China fell dramatically. China I just hope, when they went down enough they bought them. Now the companies, Created by the USA and Europe in China with all the technology put in by these exchanges and their capital they passed into the hands of China, which is now rising with all that technological potential and will be able to set prices at will to sell everything they need to the West. How are you?
None of this could have happened by chance. China who cared that a few old men died? Fewer old-age pensions to pay, but the loot has been huge. And right now the West is financially defeated, in crisis and stunned by the disease. And without knowing what to do.
Masterfully diabolic. It had to be the communists. |
Adding to this, they are now the single largest owners of US treasury with 1.18 trillion holding surpassing Japan.
An instrument that has seen the most rally

How come Russia & North Korea have Low or Zero incidence of Covid- 19 ?
Is it because they are staunch allies of China
On the other hand USA / South Korea / United Kingdom / France / Italy / Spain and Asia are severely hit
How come Wuhan is suddenly free from the deadly virus?
China says that the drastic initial measures that they took were very stern and Wuhan was locked down to contain the spread to other areas
Why Beijing was not hit ? Why only Wuhan?
It is interesting to ponder upon.. right ?
Well ..Wuhan is open for business now
Covid – 19 needs to be seen in the backdrop of the arm twisting of China by USA in the trade war
America and all the above mentioned countries are devastated financially
Soon American economy will collapse as planned by China.
China knows it CANNOT defeat America militarily as USA is at present THE MOST POWERFUL country in the world.
So use the virus…to cripple the economy and paralyse the nation and its Defense capabilities.
I am sure Nancy Pelosi got a part in this…. to topple Trump….
Lately President Trump has always been telling of how the GREAT American economy was improving on all fronts and jobs were coming back to the USA
The only way to destroy his vision of making AMERICA GREAT AGAIN is to create an ECONOMIC HAVOC.
Nancy Pelosi was unable to bring down Trump through impeachment…..so work along with China to destroy Trump by releasing a virus.
Wuhan’s epidemic was a showcase.
At the peak of the virus epidemic….China’s President Xi Jinping…just wore a simple RM1 facemask to visit those effected areas.
As President he should have been covered from head to toe…..but that was not the case.
He was already injected to resist any harm from the virus….that means a cure was already in place before the virus was released
China’s vision is to control the World ECONOMY by buying up stocks now from countries facing the brink of severe ECONOMIC COLLAPSE…..Later China will announce that their Medical Researchers have found a cure to destroy the virus
Now China shall OWN the stocks of All Western Alliances and these countries will soon be slave to their NEW MASTER….. CHINA
These women have a chip on their shoulder because they are ugly and bitter. Idiots that want attention so badly.
To all the self-centered feminists…GET A LIFE! The virus isn’t all about you!
Women fail at study of logic and math.
That is why it is futile to discuss anything with a libber. It also explains why so many libbers are Democrats.
