Erika Kirk and the Bimbo-ization of the Feminist Movementhttps://pjmedia.com/scott-pinsker/2025/12/06/erika-kirk-and-the-bimbo-ization-of-the-feminist-movement-n4946763Before the #MeToo movement went (badly) off the rails, it made some very valid — and long overdue — points about predatory male behavior: Our wives, sisters, and daughters shouldn’t be subjected to unwanted sexual advances in the workplace. There is something weird, gross, and unsettling when a 60-something CEO has an affair with his 19-year-old secretary.
But then, of course, #MeToo went too far — which wasn’t really its fault: Successful movements always go too far, because they push, push, push until the blowback is too great. At no point in the #MeToo movement did its leaders say, “Y’know, we’ve made a lot of progress, girls. Let’s take a break and have a White Claw.”
...
That’s the root cause of the Pendulum Effect in PR: First, everything swings too far this way, then it swings too far that way.
But it very rarely resets exactly in the middle.
Hopefully, during each pendulum cycle, you’ve gained net ground. That’s the smartest way for political activists to play the game.
But if you’re not careful, the blowback can be so severe, you actually LOSE net ground.
That’s my theory of what happened to feminism during the Monica Lewinsky scandal: Had the feminists better managed their movement, the #MeToo uproar would’ve happened at least a decade earlier.
Because in their fervor to protect Bill Clinton, they discredited themselves.
...
But history has a nasty habit of repeating itself: Remarkably, the feminists are about to make the same mistake yet again!
This time, it’s not in defense of a Democrat’s libido. It’s in their cruel, sexist, absurdly chauvinistic attacks on a grieving widow.
Her name is Erika Kirk.
To most Americans, Erika is a beautiful, brave woman whose husband was stolen from her and her young children. Through it all, she’s tried her hardest to honor her husband’s legacy — reciting his story with teardrops rolling down her face.
...
The smartest, kindest (and most obvious) tactic for the radical left would’ve been to simply say, “We might not always agree with the political opinions of Erika Kirk or her late husband, but we’re so sorry for her loss and wish her family well.”
But they simply couldn’t resist the impulse to attack Erika Kirk — and not just her political beliefs, but her appearance, clothes, motives, and even her sexuality.
...
Still, the left-wing media hasn’t stopped attacking her. Consider the flood of headlines:
Slate: Why Do So Many People Seem to Think J.D. Vance Is About to Replace Usha Vance? Glad You Asked.
Salon: Why JD Vance and Erika Kirk’s hug made tongues wag
Ms. Magazine: The Return of the Tradwife Gospel

The verbosity of this article is almost Dickensesque
(I'm getting grumpy with commentary articles whose authors don't get to their point for half or more of their article), but it aptly applies a trend among activists and how Progs are doing it again. TBH, I do not mind feminazis self-beclowning, again.
