Damsels in Excess: The Collapse of the Matriarchy

For decades, society has been shaped by a matriarchy, a narrative that pushes men aside and elevates women to positions of unchecked power. Damsels in Excess pulls back the curtain on the rise of feminism and its Marxist roots, exploring how a movement originally meant for equality has instead created a world where men are demonized and women are made miserable. This is the book that cuts through the propaganda to reveal the catastrophic consequences of a feminist-driven society.

At its core, Damsels in Excess tackles the crisis of masculinity and the displacement of young men. Boys are falling behind in education, career prospects, and even basic social skills. The male crisis has been ignored for too long. “We’ve created a generation of young men who have been abandoned by society, told to apologize for their very existence, and forced into a role of silent suffering,” Scheffer writes, shedding light on a troubling truth—young men today have no clear path forward in a society that has turned its back on them.

Meanwhile, fathers, the backbone of families and societies, are being slandered and discarded. The “deadbeat dad” label is weaponized by the family courts, the media, and even public opinion, painting men as failures while systematically denying them the chance to be involved in their children’s lives. But the true horror doesn’t stop there. #MeToo has turned every interaction between a man and a woman into a potential minefield, further disenfranchising men and exacerbating the tensions between the sexes.

But it’s not just men who are suffering. Feminism, in its unchecked excess, has done far more harm than good for women as well. Scheffer pulls no punches in revealing the toxic traits feminism has instilled in girls—traits that leave them emotionally crippled, dissatisfied, and disillusioned. “We’ve told women that they can have it all, only to watch as they crumble under the weight of unrealistic expectations.” Women, under the influence of feminist ideology, have been sold a false promise of happiness, only to find themselves more unfulfilled than ever before. Ironically, feminism’s unchecked ambition has led to a generation of women trapped in a cycle of bitterness and dissatisfaction, unable to find fulfillment in either their personal or professional lives.

Then, there’s the hijacking of the women’s movement by transgender ideology. What was once a fight for equality between the sexes has now become a struggle to redefine gender altogether, creating an entirely new paradigm that threatens to erase the very essence of womanhood. But what will happen when the matriarchal system comes full circle? The very society that women have directed for so long is now a Frankenstein they can no longer control. And as they look around, desperately seeking the very men they’ve discarded to rescue them, the question remains: Where will the future take us?

Damsels in Excess doesn’t offer neat solutions or easy answers. What it does is what most are too afraid to do—speak the truth. It gives a voice to the forgotten and voiceless men. Patrick Scheffer unapologetically speaks the obvious truth that everyone is too scared to admit. Something has gone horribly wrong in our society. We are collectively spiraling into a sick, dysfunctional state, and the consequences are becoming more glaring by the day.

The question isn't just what’s wrong, but where are we going? Can we fix it, or are we destined to fade into history, replaced by newcomers who will impose their own morals, their own culture, and yes—their own patriarchy? Damsels in Excess challenges readers to face the cold reality that the world we’ve known may be crumbling, and time is running out. Whether we can reclaim it or let it slip into oblivion is a question we must all confront.
