How Meghan Markle Exposes Toxic Feminism – OPINION

Meghan Markle Toxic Feminism

Meghan Markle is toxic and gives feminism a bad name. In her mind, women are oppressed and don’t have a voice in anything they do. Seriously, her brain lives in the 1950s and ‘60s when the female populace was only good for one thing; being a housewife and raising a family.

 Everyone knows what we’re about to say next. Meghan’s feminist journey started at age 11 with her stupid dish soap commercial story. Anyone looking into this will know it was a class project and thousands of people complained about the ad. Also, there is no record of Meghan’s letter being archived by Hilary Clinton’s people.

Meghan Markle Doesn’t Acknowledge Women Who Came Before Her

Meghan drones on about how women should be helping other women and how they shouldn’t be silenced. Okay, she is missing one vital component. There have been female pioneers for decades. Even centuries. Does she not know her pal Gloria “Glo” Steinem was one of these iconic women who was considered the mother of feminism in the United States in the 1960s and ‘70s?

What about Harriet Tubman, a black woman who was essential in abolishing slavery in the United States?  Or the black women involved in the Space Race that included the book Hidden Figures, which also became the movie of the same name? Or even better, what about Prince Harry’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II who spent the early years of her reign in a largely male-oriented world?

All Meghan cares about is her own achievement and no one else’s. She believes she is the best thing to have been born. Forget all the other people who have overcome challenges to get to their high-ranking positions in life.

Also, Meghan has no compassion for anyone. She told Oprah Winfrey that what happened to “Kate Middleton” when she was dating Prince William was nothing bad. This shows that Markle doesn’t care about anyone’s mental health, not even her own.

Meghan Markle Leans Into Old Stereotypes

It is women like Meghan Markle who think that feminism is about bringing down the patriarchy and breaking age-old traditions, which is a toxic ideology to have. Also, using one’s sex to get to avoid repercussions is a trouble magnet, a tactic used by some to garner sympathy.

Toxic feminism and Meghan Markle go hand-in-hand. She pulls women (and girls) down who she sees as competition. Look at her treatment of Princess Catherine and Princess Charlotte.

Meghan wants to be seen in the same light as them. She doesn’t want to work for it. Instead, she takes not-so-subtle jabs at them. For example, she was on a panel at SXSW and was talking about trolls on social media. Yes, you read that right. Anyone following this drama for a while will have heard of the Sussex Squad. Oh, yes. Markle’s beloved minions would follow her to the depths of hell.

Catherine understands royal tradition, not because she is British. But because she took the time to learn. She and William dated on and off for a decade. Meghan saw this as outdated and needed Harry to get that engagement ring on her finger ASAP.

When you look at Meghan’s comments about how women need to help each other, she does the opposite. There are plenty of stories out there where she has torn down her sex for no reason. Let’s look at the list, shall we?

  • Disrespecting The Queen by referring to her as “Harry’s grandmother” and that dreadful curtsy.
  • Disrespecting Catherine by calling her Kate
  • Bullying Princess Charlotte, even in front of the cameras (when she thought they weren’t on her)
  • The constant staff turnover, especially female staff
  • Not allowing other women to stand next to Harry, regardless of their high status
  • Demanding photos with little girls to make it look like she likes kids

Meghan Cannot Handle Playing Second Fiddle

Meghan hates being second fiddle to anyone. She refuses to follow her husband who is the true royal and she has to do everything against the status quo. Moreover, Markle wants to be seen as a rebel like Princess Diana. However, there is a stark difference.

Princess Diana didn’t throw her entire family under the bus. With the royals, the only ones she threw barbs at were Charles and Camilla and maybe Sarah Ferguson. That is it. She never went after The Queen or Prince Philip. Never. Imagine if she had. Her reputation would’ve been in the toilet if she had. No one criticised Her Majesty and got away with it.

With Meghan, she’s trying to be Diana, but she’s completely missing that her late mother-in-law, was no saint. She was a rebel who knew there were limits. For example, she understood what to say and what not to do.

Meghan Markle, meanwhile, is running saying, “Only, everyone is toxic because they don’t respect I‘m into feminism and they’re all racist because I’m black and so are my children.” She doesn’t think about her behaviour and how that might be causing issues.

In saying that, she is opening herself up for criticism and this is exactly what she wants. She knows she is not relevant without the royal family. After all, she milks her Duchess title for everything it is worth.

Woe Is Me – Meghan Markle’s Toxic Feminism Is Making Her Look Like Amber Heard

When it comes to toxic feminism, it doesn’t get any more talked about than Amber Heard, the ex-wife of Johnny Depp. From the beginning of the drama between the former couple, we always said she was no victim. She was the perpetrator.

Yet, Amber makes herself out to be this advocate for women in the form of a domestic violence campaigner, when she isn’t. She used her platform as a woman to make the false claim that her more accomplished ex-husband was a woman beater. Her claims have been debunked by many of Johnny’s exes including Winona Ryder, Kate Moss and the mother of his children, Vanessa Paradis.

Meghan Markle is no different with her toxic feminism. She claims to champion women’s rights and empowerment, but she uses age-old stereotypes that haven’t existed in decades. Just look at her now-defunct podcast, Archetypes.

The Archetypes Of Meghan Markle’s Toxic View On Feminism

Before you all butcher us, yes, we did use the word ‘Archetypes’ incorrectly in the title. We did this on purpose to reflect what Meghan did with the word. Yes, we understand she was trying to ‘combine’ Archewell and Stereotypes, but she doesn’t get that it’s a word within itself and has existed for centuries.

Meghan’s need to establish herself as a ‘feminist’ reflects on her unnecessary use of old stereotypes on her Archetypes podcast. The topics she covered were (in no particular order):

  • Diva
  • Angry Black Woman
  • Single Women
  • Bimbos
  • Dragon Lady
  • Ambition
  • Good Wife, Bad Wife/Good Mother, Bad Mother
  • The ‘B’ Word
  • Activism
  • Being Crazy

There are a few others, but these were the main ones. The only person who believes these are still a problem is Meghan herself. Why? Because she’s been called every one of these things. People she has worked with in the Reitmans advertisement campaigns said she was a diva, and so on.

Toxic feminism is Meghan Markle’s way of crying victim when things don’t go her way. She wants to be seen in the same way that Gloria Steinem is. However, she cannot offer anything new that hasn’t already been done.

Example Of Meghan Markle’s Toxic Feminism

An example of toxic feminism we can use is the rumour that Meghan Markle fat-shamed a then-toddler Princess Charlotte. The rumour claims that during the bridesmaid dress fitting, the former actress allegedly referred to her soon-to-be niece as “chubby” and mocked her voice.

Then, we have Meghan saying recently that her daughter, Lili, who is now three has “found her voice.” Charlotte was the same age when Markle allegedly mocked her during the dress-fitting drama. So, it’s okay for Lili to have a voice at 3, but Princess Charlotte. This is what we call double standards.

Meghan also expects women who work for her to have the same mindset as her. If they don’t, they become targets of her bullying. Markle looks down at everyone who cannot give her what she wants.

 There was a rumour that Meghan was at a social event with Harry and a woman came up to introduce herself. Markle looked her up and down and ignored her like she was nothing special. Not only is this rude, but this also shows that what the former actress has said about her in-laws being cold is entirely incorrect.
