I'm of child bearing age and the only thing feminists have done is to scare American men away from us girls.

They don't need one. They think for themselves.

We'd like the women's movement to show us the way. Obviously can't do it on her own . . .

re: That's when I learned that pap tests screen for cervical cancer, not ovarian cancer.)))
And cervical cancer is very rare among couples where both partners have been chaste and faithful through life--another thing the femmies won't bother to tell you.

30 years ago, the feminist movement seemed, at least in part, to be about equal rights and opportunities which were much needed.
'Women's' jobs such as teaching and nursing were woefully underpaid (making it impossible for a male teacher to support a family on the pitiful salary), certain fields were 'off limits' to women, there were no girls' sports programs in schools, there were even places of employment that paid women less than men for the identical job because they supposedly weren't the 'bread winners' and didn't need as much money...........there were problems that needed to be fixed.
They HAVE been.
Now the so called women's movement is about two things........hating men, and killing babies.
It long ago ceased being a movement that gave a rip about women.

The author should do what thinking women have been learning to do for years - turn their backs on feminism. It just takes some of us longer than others to get their eyes opened.

WHAT HAS the women's movement done for you lately? If you're a woman past childbearing age, the answer is: not much. What did she expect from a movement who defined itself on '...the right to kill babies on demand?!'

and women, who outlive men, will suffer more. I don't want to live to be 100 if my Social Security check is only going to make it to 85. What????? Looks like the culture of death (abortion when she was young) has this woman thinking in those terms for her later life also...

I don't need the "feminist movement" I am a strong, liberated, independent western, free, Christian woman.
So were my mother, and grandmothers.

We'd like the women's movement to show us the way. Translation: We can't think for ourselves. Someone please do it for us.
It'll be about a Social Security system that's going bust - and women, who outlive men, will suffer more. I don't want to live to be 100 if my Social Security check is only going to make it to 85. Feminist economists, where are you?
Translation: Someone did our thinking for us, and we don't like the outcome!

P.S. Perhaps a movement that has as it's center the right to kill babies will help the old feminist gain the '...the right to be euthanized on demand by whoever is providing their 'life support system!'
I mean...if you can have the right to stop a life on one end of life 'un-naturely' why shouldn't the logical next RIGHT be to stop it on the other end 'un-naturely?
The feminist could call it 'retroactive abortion.' Of course it would only apply to females...
Bye bye feminist Boomer...

Visit a local nursing home. They are filled with women. Essentially, every health care issue for older persons is a woman's issue.
The medical profession's view appears to be that when you grow old you die. Consequently, why waste a lot of effort.

As the April 25 march in Washington demonstrated, the primary focus of the women's movement is still what it was over 30 years ago: abortion rights, or reproductive freedom. But what about the growing number of older women who are finally free from reproduction? This sort of attitude is what I was talking about on the other thread.

I'm a female past child-bearing age and I remember reading Ms. magazine in college in the early 70's, and at the time, the movement made sense. It pushed for equal opportunity for women to enter careers and gain equal pay for equal work. It spoke about choices. The pro-abortion emphasis bothered me a little, but back then, it seemed that only "the Catholics" were fighting abortion. My family got a Christmas card every year from a Catholic family and included was a pro-life tract, and I remember my Mother commenting, "That's the Catholics for you, they keep pushing the same issue."
It took some years of living and involvement in my local church to become exposed to the view that abortion was wrong. That's when I realized how heavily the media brainwashes women that it's OK to kill your unborn child.

Feminism brings an end result of a loveless life with empty dreams or nightmares. Find a good man, marry, have a family and love each other. Things are never perfect, but what else is there? A lonely exixtance?
