Yeah, there are alot of women (including men) who came of age at the beginning of the Women’s Movement who are now retired or nearing retirement and are angry at their daughters for being homemakers. Basically saying, I blazed this trail for you why aren’t you following it?

Yep.

I had a long talk with my Dad, just this past weekend, about how difficult it was to find a good woman. I'm sure it's not an uncommon complaint, dating back generations (Og look! He no find woman for cave!) ... but I think it's harder for my generation, and those going forward, specifically because of feminism.

Lots of women, like this author, are being told from birth that not only they can but they should compete with men. Constantly, and on the same playing fields.

The reality is that they can't compete on even terms. And additionally - the reality is that men and women both can be *very* successful, just by not competing against each other, and by keeping their playing fields separate.

For instance, I'm an excellent Dad, but I'm a terrible mother. I recognize that, found an excellent mother for my kids, and stick with what I'm good at. However..... Feminism dictates that women can be either father or mother (or both, if they'd like) equally well. Unfortunately reality intrudes and (with some exceptions) women find out that they're terrible subsitutes for fathers, with predictable results being played out right now on society and the family structure that is society's bedrock.
