DISINFO: Today’s post-modern society is inhabitated by weak feminised men, while women lost their femininity

SUMMARY

Today’s post-modern, consumerist and money-oriented society can only satisfy people’s basest needs and excludes superior aspirations for spirituality and the sacred. This decadent society is inhabited by weak feminised men, males who are no longer men, who have renounced virile virtues such as the spirit of adventure, risk-taking, and the willingness to face danger and the challenge of death. This weak male is a degraded type of human being whose overriding goal in life is to feed himself and make money, who seeks security and comfort. Weak feminised men do not have the inner strength and the authority to lead a family, which in fact is disintegrating in post-modern society. In order to compensate for the increasing inadequacy of their weak male partners, women have adopted masculine roles and behaviour and have lost their femininity.

RESPONSE

The article provides no evidence to support its claims. It repeats a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative portraying Western societies as decadent and inhabited by feminised men who have lost masculine values, and by women who have lost their femininity. This message is consistent with the broad pro-Kremlin narrative about the West’s moral decay and the erosion of traditional values in Western societies. According to this narrative, the “effeminate West” is rotting under the onslaught of materialism, immorality, perverted values, sexual deviance, feminism and “political correctness”, while Russia embodies traditional spiritual and moral values. Read a similar case claiming that post-modern feminism in the West leads to the total destruction of men. This disinformation message appeared in the same publication as the claims that in the Western post-modern society the “system” strives to keep people alone and isolated from each other in order to dominate them more effectively.
