Matt Walsh: “Feminism … Is the Most Destructive Movement in Human History”
“Great social revolutions are impossible without the feminine ferment,” wrote infamous communism co-founder Karl Marx in 1868. Interestingly, too, it was a convention in 1848, the same exact year Marx’s Communist Manifesto was published, that’s often cited as marking “first-wave” American feminism’s birth. So the ideology has been around a long time — some would say, too long.
Enter commentator Matt Walsh. “Feminism,” he told interviewer Benny Johnson Tuesday, “is the most destructive movement in human history.”
“And I don’t say that as hyperbole,” he added.
Walsh then elaborated, stating on The Benny Show:
Well over 60 million human children have been killed in abortion. … There’s nothing else you can point to that’s had the death toll that feminism has had … the effect it’s had on the family, basically destroying the institution of the family; nothing comes close to feminism. And with feminism, it was like that from the very beginning.
The commentator then mentioned the Lindsay Clancy situation as one of the movement’s “terrible fruits.” As for Johnson, he concluded his X post of the clip (below) with, “Feminism is a death cult.”

This is hardly the first time Walsh has manhandled the ideology. Last July, for example, he stated in a podcast “that feminism has killed far more people than the atomic bomb.” But is it really the “most destructive movement in human history” — or at least something approximating that?
