This work argues against the principles of feminism, claiming that the feminist movement seeks to make women adopt masculine traits in competition with men, rather than embracing their natural roles and attributes. Kenealy discusses the biological and societal implications of this shift, suggesting that a rejection of traditional gender roles could lead to societal decay. The opening of the text introduces the author's perspective on the feminist movement, characterizing it as a form of "Masculinism" that disregards the unique qualities of women. Kenealy sets the stage for an extensive critique, suggesting that the differences between the sexes are crucial for human progress and development. She invokes historical and evolutionary examples to argue that the division of labor by sex has been natural and beneficial. The author positions herself as a voice of caution, warning that the push for equal rights characterized by feminists might undermine the essential roles and contributions of both genders in society.
