Lindy West, the world's official nastiest-looking feminist, has taken to looking through college papers to get Jezebel blog post ideas. She found an editorial in the Nebraska College newspaper and wrote up a blog titled "Nebraska College Kid Says Feminism ‘Achieved Its Goals’ So Women Should Shut the Fuck Up Now."

Feminism has achieved what it was set out to do, and now that women are considered equal, ‘feminists’ want more. The movement is ruining modern relationships, and it’s bringing about the downfall of men. This can easily be seen by the numbers on a college campus and in the modern economy.
The fact of the matter is: the rules of survival have changed. No longer do people need to be risk takers, strong and resilient to survive in the world.
