Moloch against Women

The angry empty logic Moloch in Paradise Lost mimics that of meninist groups
today. Moloch wants to attack heaven with everything the fallen angels have he is
bruised from the war they just had and feels theres nothing to lose so he acts like a
caged animal and is desperate for revenge. Meninist groups today exist because the
people in power, men, felt threatened by feminist groups and reacted with rage and
empty facts and logic.
Moloch in his argument to attack heaven again states that My sentence is for
open Warr, directly making his point with an argument completely built on pathos.
Meninist groups clearly state that they believe men are more victimized as a group than
women and therefore they deserve more attention. This argument is completely built on
pathos and is reactionary because after the strength of feminist groups throughout the
20 and 21st century they felt their power was threatened. Moloch also exaggerates the
power of the outcast demons saying they will attack heaven Arm'd with Hell flames and
fury all at once in order to boost enthusiasm for his vendetta. Meninist groups
exaggerate facts in relation to men saying more men get raped than women and men
commit suicide more in order to get the opposite reaction from their audience as Moloc,
they want to appear like they have more problems. Meninist groups are missing the
point of feminism, its not to ignore that there are problems that affect men, its to help
women have an equal standing with men in a society that favors those men. Meninist
groups are rageful against feminists saying theyre man haters when feminism is
literally a movement about women.

Moloch is angry beyond reason. He doesnt think about how truly awful the
consequences of another attack on heaven would be because hes hurt they just lost
and wants revenge. His anger clouds his judgment and the ability to provide a logical
argument to the army of demons. Meninisms rhetoric is angry and thoughtless with no
focus. Its a reactionary group because they feel hurt and weakened that women want to
have equal standing with them. No matter how much process the world makes their will
always be a Moloch to make angry useless rants about whatever the situation is.
