Instead of a quiet and gentle spirit, they are loud and assertive.This perversion breeds a fractured society where families crumble, birthrates plummet, and communities unravel into dog-park-ridden childless voids.Partridge said that men grow weak and aimless because feminism robs them of their ability to control women. They fear marriage because they fear the feminist divorce courts, he claimed. They fear career because they fear the Karens of the HR department.He went on to connect it to immigration, saying that women suck down birth control pills and they abort their babies so immigrants need to come to the U.S. to replace those children. Partridge claimed that this is bad without explaining why. Its common among the right to claim that more people of color living in the U.S. is a bad thing in and of itself.Feminism isnt just for liberals and lesbians, he concluded. Its also infiltrated conservative and Christian circles. He then denounced Republican women in elected office.

Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), have used their platforms as cishet women in positions of power to promote the idea that trans people are a threat to cis women, only to face criticism from their fellow Christian conservatives for being women with careers.Partridge appeared in a 2015 Good Morning America episode to argue with his wife that women wearing leggings causes men to think of them sexually or lust after them.Iknow how men think, he said. Its not the womans responsibility. But I appreciate the idea of a woman saying, like, Im going to try to cover up myself in a way that might help you not think of me sexually.In 2020, he was accused of plagiarizing pithy sayings from celebrities and using them on social media without attribution.
