11 Powerful Women On Raising Feminist Sons
Huff Post ^ | 05/06/2016 | Catherine Pearson

Posted on 05/09/2016 2:39:58 PM PDT by Mandingo Conservative

I am a feminist. My husband is a feminist...I’m raising my son to be a feminist because he will be a better person for it. Instilling the value of gender equality from birth means that he will support his twin sister, his friends, and his daughters should he ever have them. Raising my son a feminist means he will be better equipped to operate in a world where women are increasingly and rightfully in positions of power, and he will relish the benefits that brings to everyone.

Raising my son a feminist means he will be ...

... limp-wrist purse-carrying shell of a girly man who is ashamed of his sex and subservient to his penis-less betters.

Or he'll become so defiant that he'll be some oversexed testosterone-driven macho fool who'll screw everything but the crack of dawn.

Or you could quit trying to pollute your child's mind with your own prejudices and let him find his own sexual expression ... as long as it doesn't involve polishing someone else's knob.

It’s OK because the she is just ensuring a future where her sons are diminated and ruled by my sons.

While somewhere in the Middle East there is a madrassa teaching their boys how to kill your little feminist.

For what I see of it, she views men like the Soviets viewed kulaks, except from birth. To her, men are only fit for indoctrination or destruction.

That’s right. Boys should be taught to act as gentlemen, and treat woman (and men) with respect.

Marxist Feminism’s Ruined Lives
Frontpagemag.com ^ | 9-2-2014 | Mallory Millett (sister of now’s founder)

...It was 1969. Kate invited me to join her for a gathering at the home of her friend, Lila Karp. They called the assemblage a “consciousness-raising-group,” a typical communist exercise, something practiced in Maoist China. We gathered at a large table as the chairperson opened the meeting with a back-and-forth recitation, like a Litany, a type of prayer done in Catholic Church. But now it was Marxism, the Church of the Left, mimicking religious practice:

“Why are we here today?” she asked.
“To make revolution,” they answered.
“What kind of revolution?” she replied.
“The Cultural Revolution,” they chanted.
“And how do we make Cultural Revolution?” she demanded.
“By destroying the American family!” they answered.
“How do we destroy the family?” she came back.
“By destroying the American Patriarch,” they cried exuberantly.
“And how do we destroy the American Patriarch?” she replied.
“By taking away his power!”
“How do we do that?”
“By destroying monogamy!” they shouted.
“How can we destroy monogamy?”

Their answer left me dumbstruck, breathless, disbelieving my ears. Was I on planet earth? Who were these people?

“By promoting promiscuity, eroticism, prostitution and homosexuality!” they resounded.

They proceeded with a long discussion on how to advance these goals by establishing The National Organization of Women. It was clear they desired nothing less than the utter deconstruction of Western society. The upshot was that the only way to do this was “to invade every American institution. Every one must be permeated with ‘The Revolution’”: The media, the educational system, universities, high schools, K-12, school boards, etc.; then, the judiciary, the legislatures, the executive branches and even the library system.

It fell on my ears as a ludicrous scheme, as if they were a band of highly imaginative children planning a Brinks robbery; a lark trumped up on a snowy night amongst a group of spoiled brats over booze and hashish...

He could become a US Senator from SC or a failed Massachusetts governor who goes on to become a failed Presidential candidate.

“I am a feminist. My husband is a feminist...I’m raising my son to be a feminist...”

Should read: I am a lunatic. My husband is a lunatic...I’m raising my son to be a lunatic...


Or:
I wear the pants. My husband wears the skirts. I’m raising my son to be gender-confused.

Yes. Of course.
While we are on the subject it seems to me that feminism is more masculine than feminine, in any traditional sense. I raised my daughter to have the courage, inquisitive mind, independence, and generally pugnacious attitudes historically associated with masculinity. This is precisely what feminists are calling for.
Associating these character traits with a particular sex is, well, sexist. Feminists fall into the very trap they seek to escape. Theirs is a reactionary rather than a revolutionary tactic. They seek not so much to build up women as to denigrate men.
My daughter, by the way, is feminine to the core of her being. She is a loving mother and wife, well educated and an outstanding member of her community. I am immensely proud of her.
