   The rise of the Transmaids

   Feminism now means bending to the demands of men in frocks.   
      
      
   A recent book by veteran feminist campaigner Julie Bindel bears the   
   title Feminism For Women. Twenty years ago, this might have seemed   
   silly; of course feminism and women go together, like Ant and Dec or   
   Jack and Coke. But now, it’s a timely reminder. Because quite a few   
   women who call themselves feminists actually practise a sort of   
   Frankenfeminism which, whatever their intention, ends up gratifying men   
   and degrading women.   
      
   The Transmaids (a woman who acts in a servile manner towards men, like a   
   handmaid, but only if that man wears a frock) are the worst – I’ll deal   
   with them later. But feminism-for-men (‘meninism’ – not to be confused   
   with ‘Leninism’, though misogyny definitely comes more from the left   
   than the right in these strange days) has been with us for quite some   
   time. In 2005 Ariel Levy published her brilliant book, Female Chauvinist   
   Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture, which dissected the alleged   
   rise of female ‘empowerment’ through such pursuits as pornography,   
   pole-dancing, Slut Walks, one-night hook-ups and basically everything   
   frat boys want from women. As Levy asked, ‘Why does the new liberation   
   look so much like the old objectification?’.
