RE: Writing my Senior Thesis on How Feminism is Destroying the West
I agree The Rational Male is very good on the psychological-scientific side of red pill truths. But for feminism in general you may want to look at the Chataue Heartisite and to maybe get a passing grade look at other mainstream "conservative" commentators on the subject-particularly women writers not because their better but because you need a good grade. Also comment on the "growing" (  ) Women Against Feminism "campaign" and the Mens' Rights Movement.
And be careful when referencing/mentioning things related to RoK, Roosh, Game, and "PUA" though that is helpful to us in an academic context it will be viewed as bizarre at best, and misogynistic and hateful at worst, which will most definitely effect your grade and reputation in these hyper-progressive colleges (not sure how truly liberal your college is). Any way that's my 2 cents.

Over the course of this school year, I'll be writing a 30 page thesis on this topic (How feminism destroyed/is destroying the West) and presenting it orally at the end of the school year.
It may not be something you want to cite, or something you would be proud to admit you read, but Eric Rudolph (the Olympic Park bomber serving a life sentence in federal prison) wrote a decent essay on the subject. Say what you will about his politics but he got this much right.

RE: Writing my Senior Thesis on How Feminism is Destroying the West
Couple thoughts from a guy who was a decent enough social sciences major, not so long ago:
- Your thesis cannot be, "Feminism is destroying the west." That is a 600-page book by an established academic, not a 30-page thesis by a college senior. Your lack of credentials aside, you just can't make that case convincingly in 30 pages. Narrow your scope; choose some particular aspect of gender relations that has changed and discuss it in detail. Heartiste is a great model for this: Occasionally he puts out some sweeping 2500-word manifesto but mostly he contains his posts to single, specific ideas... ideas that, on aggregate, amount to a damning case against feminism.
- But, obviously you should not actually cite Heartiste or any other manosphere blog.
- Mainstream media haven't really caught on yet, but it's very voguish in academia these days to question the foundations of "human rights" (tho not necessarily feminism). Check out The Last Utopia by Sam Moyn (a professor at Harvard). Moyn's a fantastic writer, and his book is a beautiful example of how you undermine rarely-questioned ideals.

RE: Writing my Senior Thesis on How Feminism is Destroying the West
If you want to focus it a little, you could talk about how the breakdown of the family and increase in divorce has led to increasing social problems such as crime and poor life results from children raised out of wedlock, and psychological problems for women who do not form families to begin with. Further, children born to older parents have higher risks for all sorts of diseases.
The cornerstone could be research showing single women are the least happy group out tuere, and married women are the happiest.
You do the research but find numbers for divorce over the past 60 years, numbers for children born out of wedlock, and the educational achievement, propensity towards crime, likeliehood to hold a job and likeliehood to end up in jail of children born out of wedlock to children born to married parents.
Research the overall fertility of western countries compared to Muslim or African countries, showing that our society is being replaced by low birth rates.
Contrast feminist art with great patriarchal art. The greatest works of history contrasted with menstrual blood strewn objects.
The startling statistics of young single women on anti-psychotics,for anxiety, depression, and contrast married women who are happy and mentally sound
Include anecdotes of bitter old women lamenting never having children.

RE: Writing my Senior Thesis on How Feminism is Destroying the West
I don't want to say you're fucking yourself over, but...
1) I'm going to assume you're a social science/social studies major. The field you're entering is one where your senior thesis can make a big determination on where you work after graduation. It's a field defined by people chasing down jobs after graduation, not getting job offers. It's a fantastic time to get some limited experience in an over crowded field - going to a government agency or an NGO to do research for a thesis is a great form of flattery and networking, and you're throwing it away.
2) I don't know what school you're at, but I can't imagine things have changed too much since I graduated, and hopefully academic standards are still something professors cling to. A thesis usually requires either primary sources, or academic, peer reviewed secondary sources. Lots of sources. Quoting blogs and opinion pieces won't go over too well, nor should it.
3) Ideally a thesis is something you want to research and will help prove your worth as a scholar. Choosing a topic that simply conforms to your personal paradigm is a waste of your time for a work you'll have to put so much effort into. Challenge yourself.
4) If you decide to go ahead with this, I'd start looking for scholarly work by feminists analyzing feminism itself. Look at the marginalization of minority/underserved community women in the west, lack of feminist voices from the global south, etc...
5) Expect your profs to reject your thesis proposal. You'll also risk getting hate from student groups and your peers. Hell, you may even risk someone drawing you up for disciplinary action.
If after all that you're still up for it, message me with a draft and I can try to help you out. I'm sure a few of the other guys here will, too.
If you are going to impose your will on the world, you must have control over what you believe.

RE: Writing my Senior Thesis on How Feminism is Destroying the West
You would be better off arguing that second-wave feminism is a manifestation of the decline of the American psyche- a key point made in " The Culture Of Narcissism."
However, like others have said, you are opening a can of hateful worms. No ideology is more sacrosanct on college campuses than feminism.
Honestly, the more on point you are (drawing on pscyhological research that shows that two-parent homes produce healthier children than one-parent homes, straight-up debunking of feminist theory) the more hate and ire you will draw. For most left-wing professors, feminism need not be justified because it necessarily is on point about its claims. Hell, calling it an ideology is offensive to them.
If you really want to ruffle some feathers, argue its a religion and then use the book " When Religion Becomes Evil" by Charles Kimball.
His five warning signs:
1. Absolute Truth Claims
2. Blind Obedience
3. Establishing The Ideal Time
4. The End Justifies Any Means
5. Declaring Holy War
I will mostly likely be doing an ROK post on this sooner rather than later.
