Susan B. Anthony would be ashamed of being known as the mother of modern feminism. She would have hated the pro-abortion movement, the no-fault divorce movement, and everything that second wave feminism insisted was the good and right thing to do, despite knowing that they were lying, and that what they were pushing, no sane woman would want, if she knew what it was going to do to her life.
I am not a feminist. I do not think that women are better than men; nor do I think men are horrible. (Honestly, it's kind of the other way around.) I do not think women should be in positions of authority or leadership, whether secular or religious--they think with their emotions, rather than with logic as divorced from emotions as a human being possibly can. And they're petty and vindictive about it, too.
I know this because I am one.
Ideally, if I could, I would wave my magic wand and revoke the laws permitting no-fault divorce.
That's right--no more "starter marriages." No more fifty-five hour, "Let's go to Vegas and get married for the weekend! It'll be fun! And it's not like it means anything!" jokes.
No more instances where a married woman decides that she's "not happy," and boots her husband to the curb while insisting that she has the right to keep what he paid for (because, in most cases, he does make more). And that doesn't consider what happens when there are kids involved--she keeps them, too, and demands that her ex husband is robbed at gunpoint while keeping his kids from him.
I'd also wave my magic wand and revoke all of the laws that penalize guys for being guys and having a sense of humor. Oh, and the ones that force employers to hire X number of women, whether they're qualified or not.
A woman's place is where she's truly happiest. I have never met a happy feminist, or any woman with children who cannot be home with them. So, yeah: in most cases, especially where children are involved, a woman's place is in the home, with a man who can and will protect and provide for her.
Too bad that modern feminism sees that and works hard to hide it, and to mess men up so badly that they run for the hills instead. And with today's culture and laws penalizing men that marry, I truly don't blame them.
Honestly, if I were going to drop a bomb somewhere, I'd set up a radical feminism leaders' retreat somewhere in the desert. Because it's no worse than what they've done to two generations of men, and counting.

You just gonna have to breed more, H, so we can spread this through the gene pool.
ReplyDeleteYou guys have the opportunity to spread the idea, too, since you're homeschooling.
DeleteGosh, could it be you just identified why so many men turn to Asia to find a woman with a decent attitude. I know many men here with Filipina, Thai, Viet Namese, even heathen Chinee wives.
ReplyDeleteYou know what? ALL treat their husbands like they are the king of their world and for good reasons. And these couples do tend to stay married a LONG time.

You also find it in Central American women, and pretty much anywhere Western-style feminism and Marxist ideals of breaking the family never took hold.
