Robert Frost’s poem “Mending Wall” describes two neighbors who meet every spring to walk the fence dividing their properties. After a hard winter, damage has to be assessed and repaired. Perhaps, after Miley Cyrus’ controversial and crass performance at the VMA awards, it is time to assess today’s culture and seriously consider how to repair the damage to the nation’s girls and women. The objectification and exploitation of women — as seen in all its crudity in Cyrus’s performance — is a wake-up call for us all. Is that what women really want? Is that what any of us really want? But isn’t that the inevitable result of our anything-goes, sex-and-drugs saturated culture?
Since the early ’60s, our nation has been experiencing a harsh cultural winter. Howling winds of change — insidious myths and outright falsehoods — have undermined and torn apart the faith, values, and morality that have held together a diverse and multicultural people. Those myths — those attacks — those falsehoods — by those who present themselves as champions of women’s rights constitute a very real “war on women.”
It is a senseless war of promoting casual sex: spreading the myth that women don’t need marriage, pushing a culture climate that objectifies and exploits our girls and implementing public policies that inevitably lead to women being the majority of those in poverty. That war against women has loosened and upended many of the foundation stones of Judeo-Christian principles. Primary among those huge boulders crashing into the culture are: casual sex, cohabitation, and the collapse of marriage.

One change:
The title should read “The DEMOCRATS Culture War on Women”.
my observation is miley is a possessed little whore.
I bet Billy Ray Cyrus wishes his daughter was a waitress at Denny’s
Geez, the only good thing I can say about that performance is it makes my wayward daughter look not nearly so bad
How does she do that with her tongue? I went to the mirror, and after experimentation, I couldn’t even imagine it.
The author has framed the issue incorrectly. It is feminism’s war on society. Feminism empowers women to destroy marriage, through so called no fault divorce where if she no longer feels contentment she can break her vow for cash and prizes. Feminism teaches women that children are a curse and to practice the holy sacrament of self empowerment by killing children in the womb. Feminism teaches girls that it “Your body, your self” and any use of her body to gain empowerment is ethically enlightened, either as a prostitute or the exercise of the existential choice to be a lesbian. Men have been shamed to the shadows by feminist vitriol; hardly a brave soul dare speak against it lest he be accused of executing a war on women, having a low view of women or being a misogynist. Feminism is destroying little girls with its harlotry and hate, eviscerating little boys and castrating husbands. Know the name of this cancer, it is not a war on women, it is a feminism’s war on social order, and it is the destruction of the west.
Before this stink, I did not know who Miley Cyrus was. I’m pleased to say I still have not seen the offending footage. I am pretty much a pop-cultural moron and work hard to keep it that way.
some people have really long tongues and really weird muscles in the tongue.
Consider yourself fortunate.
I think grandparents were invented by God to be a moral influence on their grandchildren in a way that helps parents if done correctly.
Grandchildren are our legacy.
We have the life experience the kids don;t have.
And you are right—most times, the grandparents can get a hearing, because the kids tune out Mom and Dad.
The American culture is now on a suicide course.
The popular rejection of Judeo-Christian principles will not allow this society to succeed.
Like Israel and Judah of old, they were reduced to exile before they learned their lessons.
It could happen to us as well.
I'm fed up with the constant "woman as victim" mantra.
They are doing this all to themselves. They have the power to change it but don't do anything except blame others.
I am "Bop" to three grandchildren, and I know that I mean a lot to them, even though I am not the brightest star in their universe. Yet this role is something that shines for me with a brightness that I never expected.
They are doing to to us all. And the they is feminism - an idea that while it is propagandized as represents the interests of women, is so hell bent on destroying patriarchy that it does not care a wit about the women it destroys on the process, nor the society in which they exist.
Mending Walls has a meaning totally lost to the author.
“Good fences make good neighbors”... I do this by leaving the television set complete with it’s shock culture, off.
See... your fence does not need mending.
Hollywood promotes Satanism/occultism all the time. They didn’t even “hide” the allusion to the Devil with her hair. All the popular stars-—or most of them, have sold their soul to make it big in Hollywood. Corey Feldman came out and told everyone how he was raped along with the other Corey as boys—Corey Haimes committed suicide.
He stated that Hollywood is full of pedophiles. Looking at Cyrus, she was surely in some of their orgies which they always have with the kids.
You sell your soul or else you get shelved and fade away. Maybe you can come back on a youtube video, today with a load of talent and luck-—but it wasn’t possible to get anywhere without Hollywood support for a century.
It is really Communism/Marxism which obliterates the Natural Family and God. They particularly hated Christianity.
Betty Friedan who founded the modern “feminist” movement was a hard core Marxist. Same with the homosexual movement-—founded by a hardcore Marxist Harry Hay. They are designed to group and divide/separate and then make those groups hate each other. Mothers have their maternal instincts destroyed by abortion and Professionalism-—normalizing in girls the “Right” to killing of one’s own biological offspring and selfishness (Girl Power) so that they do not have that selflessness required to nurture babies. It destroys their very nature of womanhood and pits women against their own children and men. No Fault was Lenin’s idea as was Day Care for babies and women in the workforce so the State can control them and their ideas would not be transferred to the children. State wants to shape the mind of kids totally.
Same with homosexuality-—it emasculates men and destroys their protective nature which is designed, when mature, to protect the weaker sex and family. It is essential for cultures to have “mature” men who protect family-—Homosexuality forms narcissists who think only of themselves and lust.
It is about radical egalitarianism-—to make men and women interchangeable and make biological connections meaningless so they can eliminate all knowledge of the past (Traditions) so they can create their own “Reality” which will be whatever the State (god) says Truth is.....and Good and Evil. Like in the Books Brave New World and 1984. Truth is Lies, Up is Down and you have no real knowledge-—all ideas are controlled-—so it makes sense.
Homosexuality is the easiest way to pit men against women since marriage is the only institution which unites the sexes. Homosexual cultures like the Samurai and today’s Afghanistan always hate the women and abuse children.
The children being abuse will not grow up to be emotionally healthy and Virtuous. Without virtuous males and females the culture collapses because they don’t care about their offspring.
Cultural Marxists invaded the US in the 30’s and “Marched through the Institutions” to destroy them from within. They even took over the Catholic Church (Bella Dodd) at Vatican II.
This is Marxism against Christianity. Slavery v. Freedom. “Individual Rights from God” concept has to erased from the minds of children. Get the USA and the Marxist control the world.
“And the they is feminism”
I was watching a football game tonight and the commentator said one line outweighed the other line by 50 pounds “per person.” I didn’t see any women in that game, but still they insist on their blasted gender neutral terms. It infects everything, and the author of this piece has three names, a concept started by the feminists.
