Feminists have been lying to women about sex for the better part of a century. It was just a couple generations ago that feminists argued that all sex between men and women constituted rape. The feminists have done a complete reversal in the last few decades. These days sex is declared a right that is both physically and emotionally meaningless. Further still, feminists argue sex is empowering for women. Because feminism relies almost exclusively on stereotypes, their argument these days is that because men get away with engaging in casual sex without consequences so should women. Instead of elevating women, feminism lowers them to the level of the worst male cad. Argue against any of this and theyll declare that you hate women. Apparently placing women on a pedestal and encouraging men to join them on said pedestal is tantamount to hate.
In reality, casual sex isnt physically or emotionally meaningless. Physically it can not only lead to pregnancy but also to disease. Emotionally causal sex can create all sorts of problems for both men and women. Perhaps the biggest negative is that casual sex cheapens sex in such a way that long term relationships and marriages are adversely affected. This may very well be the goal of progressive feminists who want to overthrow everything associated with traditional western culture, particularly if it is associated with the Christian faith. However, for the rank and file woman, casual sex is a complete disaster. They lose the intimacy they would enjoy only in marriage. The end result is depression and a host of other emotional problems.
Unfortunately the way to engage in copious amounts of casual sex one has to go to parties, bars or other drinking establishments. Most casual sex occurs when one or both parties has been drinking. The feminists have declared in recent years that women should be free to drink just as much as men. Unfortunately for women there are a host of negative consequences associated with drinking to excess. This includes giving consent to sexual intercourse with someone a woman might not ordinarily give consent to. Suggest women try to protect themselves from sexual predators or from whores remorse in the morning and youll me met with the accusation that you hate women. Feminists are literally making the argument that equality will only be achieved when women can get as drunk and stupid as men.
Casual sex is not empowering. Slut walks are nothing but a bunch of show offs trying to confront and offend a society that neither cares about their confrontation nor is particularly offended by anything they do. Our culture has fallen to the point where a bunch of ugly girls walking down the street in underwear and dyed armpit hair is met with ambivalence not offense. Those who are paying attention are rolling their eyes. The fact is that on Americas college campuses, casual sex is the norm and its engaged in by both men and women. Campus culture is such that casual sex is expected of both sexes, so rallying for campus sluts is really sort of meaningless. The fundamental problem is that feminists view sex as an issue of empowerment. Its hardly surprising that they view sex incorrectly. Separating sex from our creator will always result in an improper view of the subject. Sex is a gift from God to those who are married in accordance with his word. It is not a matter of power or empowerment.
Ultimately the feminists are leading women down a very sad and depressing path. God created women to bare children, to be mothers. How many 40 year old women living in progressive enclaves like New York and Los Angeles are currently childless and desperate to have a child? They bought the feminist lie 20 years ago that they could have a career just like a man and that they didnt need a family. These women have careers, just like men. They even get paid the same as men. The problem is that within them they desire children and now at a late age for child baring theyre desperate for a baby. Todays young women are being lied to about casual sex, empowerment and safety. The negative consequences of the feminist outlook on sex is not only hurting these women today, it will negatively affect them for years to come.
True feminists have a genetic mutation that ultimately removes their lineage from the human species.
I once told a feminist that empowering women is about living like a nun, dedicated to one’s career in sciences, not sluting or gold digging around. She was offended but I tol her she was choosing the dum whore education track for her grand children. She would not talk to me anymore but A month later she was taking them to church.
By God’s grace I didn’t buy into the feminist idea of casual sex. I realized early in life that it was adultery and, to me at that time in my life, I viewed that as unforgivable. I decided I wouldn’t cheat on a husband whom I hadn’t yet met. At forty I now realize that I am one of two women around my age who I know made the same choice.
It does affect future relationships in a bio chemical manner. This is all from memory so forgive me: every time you have sex with a person your body releases oxytocin (IIRC) and that makes you feel bonded to that person. Each time your partner is a different the bonding effect is lessened, sort of like peeling and sticking the same piece of duct tape over and over. By the time you are married you are truly missing out on what God intended for sex in marriage; a connection deeper than anything else you could experience.
I think you’ve got some issues. Any by the way, women bear children, they don’t bare them...
I thought lying to women about sex was OUR job.
(cymbal crash...)
Feminists believe that their role is to bare their children - in public and in front of older men.
LOL!
I’m 45 and my husband and I were virgins until we were married at age 29. We have an incredible intimate relationship - (and 6 kids) I have often said that feminism does not empower, it degrades. Real feminism celebrates the ability of women to bring life into the world and nuture that life. And that wonderful God-given ability does not preclude women from doing other things. I am an attorney also and work part-time around my kids’ school schedule so I can financially contribute to their Christian school tuition.
Well, they are “bare” when they are born! That popped out at me too. In my opinion, bad spelling and grammar detracts from an article. I’m one of those grammar nazis.
Core goal of "liberalism" in general, not just feminism.
Liberals are just Humanists, and Humanists are de facto, and for the most part unwitting, Satanists.
I don’t know. My wife did bare my son when he needed a new diaper. :)
You’re right, poor editing on my part.
Absolutely, this issue isn’t just limited to feminists. The entire progressive movement, whether its socialism, feminism, abortion, homosexuals etc. is about overthrowing traditional western culture and in particular the Christian faith. They know that if they can separate people from the grounding of the Christian faith, they can create a society in any manner the progressives see fit.
The Christian culture stands in opposition to the Satanic/Humanist culture that they have chosen.
And those who continue to cling to their Humanist “I’m a good person” belief need to be confronted with what they REALLY believe.
Well said. We have six children as well and homeschool, though I am tempted to put them in school every once in a while;). Since I don’t have your earning potential we will continue to educate them at home. Funny that while we have struggled in some areas of our relationship, intimacy has never been a problem. I guess God’s plan really is best.
And by the way, I’m sure you noticed this too, by making the decision to wait until marriage, it made dating a lot easier with a lot less drama. None of these long term on again off again relationships complicated by sex. And if the man was not someone I saw myself marrying, that was the end of it.
I actually homeschooled until last year. What is frustrating to me is that we found this perfect school - everything about it is great - teachers are phenomenal, kids are learning about God in every class and they are learning about George Washington and Columbus in History (do they still teach about them in public school?) However, the school has to close because they don’t have the enrollment to stay open. Parents can’t afford to send their kids to private school while they are struggling to pay the property taxes to fund brand new (unecessary) public school buildings and pensions for their public schools. It’s outrageous and I wish I knew what to do about it.
I dont know about that as an explanation but from what Ive seen, what you have described as an outcome is absolutely true. I think that it may be even more basic
.marriage is about many things but with respect to its unique character, its about sexual commitment i.e. exclusiveness and availability). For a person going into a marriage, all this rests on trust
. Trust that the one youve married will not go outside the marriage and trust that she/he will always be available for sexual release/satisfaction when it is needed. There is no such thing as casual sex because all sex takes a piece of ones soul. For an exclusive marital relationship, losing a piece of ones soul is not a problem because it is all about the two shall become one description given in scripture
.so taking a piece out of ones soul still keeps it completely intact to the whole relationship. However, if one has had sex before marital vows with even one other person, she/he is approaching the marriage with a pieces of their soul that resides somewhere else
. and only a request for forgiveness will allow God to piece those broken parts together again. Without this repair, the 100% trust fact can never truly be there
. because there is an undeniable history that the individual shared something intended for exclusivity with someone else.
