Dear American Feminists,
I am a thirty year old woman living in the United States and have been studying what is known as 'the women's movement'. I've read some of your books especially those written by Gloria Steinem and other famous women's rights advocates. Reading these books I hoped to gain some insight into the movement that my fellow conservatives railed against. I sought to find out why Rush Limbaugh takes such obvious delight in calling all of you feminazis.
I disagreed with the goals of the feminists such as abortion rights, putting career ahead of family and so on. I thought it would be easy for me to go on with my life and allow you to go promoting feminist causes. After all, this is America and I don't spend my time telling other people how to behave and what to think. However, I did not realize the impact that the feminist movement had in the lives of men and women in this country till I started dating (if it can be called such).
I hope you are happy with yourselves. You've made it possible for more girls to enter spinsterhood than ever before all the while going psychotic and starving ourselves to death into an early grave besides. The biblical verse (I know you hate christianity but please excuse me) that states 'what does it profit a man if he gains the world and loses his soul' comes to mind. What does it matter if I'm rich with a great career, my own car, a healthy 'sex life' and nice clothes if I'm alone when I'm eighty rocking myself to sleep in a dirty nursing home all alone with no grandchildren? Perhaps you don't care that many men cringe at the idea of getting married because you don't care for the institution of getting married yourselves. Perhaps not having children doesn't bother you because you're too busy advocating the murder of children in the womb.
You talk about us women embracing our 'real bodies' and 'our fat womyn' BUT what do you feminists fill your magazines with? It's not 'real womyn' that is for sure. You peddle independent womanhood in the form of acting like a slut, dressing like a slut and having women portrayed as black widows. You champion little girls wearing g-strings and playing rainbow braclet gamwes while condemning girls who save themselves for marriage, or girls who are celibate and dress modestly as 'old fashioned' and 'out of touch'.
My thirtieth birthday came and went, and so far I've learned that many men don't respect women. A married man will go over land sea and tell all kinds of lies to get sex from a girl. I've also learned that trying to attract the attentions of man already burned once by a 'independent woman' is a fruitless effort and these men don't go through half the trouble single men or married men do to use a girl sexually. They do no think we women are worth it. I wonder how many girls will learn about your lies the hard way? How many girls will have a mother like mine to listen to the whining and frustration then only to say, 'see? You need to church and get right with God.' not mothers who are interested in being their best buddies and further encourage promiscuity.
Many young men don't even want to get married but instead wait for those women willing to have casual sex with them. You taught these girls that having unattached sex is the mark of a proud, independent woman like Sex in the City for instance. You trash Jessica Simpson for being a brainless idiot but we BOTH know why you really trash her and don't trash Britney Spears. Frustrated fathers raise sons and tell them never to get married. What are girls like me supposed to do? Or is my choice to want to be a wife and mother not as vaunted as having abortions or group sex on MTV? Bring up marriage and children to a single man these days, and a girl will find herself all alone on a Saturday night. So what's a girl to do? Don't bother answering feminists. American culture has had enough of your answers. Your well intentioned moral boondoggles have hurt women more than you will ever realize. Let's hope you don't spread your false gospel elsewhere.
Thank you for your time.
Seriously. I'm not joking.
Yes, you are.
Any guy who really likes you will wait to have sex until you are ready for it. If they can't wait they are not worth it.
Yep me too...if I knew then what I now... oh boy! I can't move right now, but I'm meeting some success by having two good FRiends be matchmakers for me. I stay far away from metrosexual city dwellers *lol*
Yep
you're welcome to your opinion
Pretty pathetic, huh?
That's true...Oprah Winfrey had a whole show about it, which would have went unnoticed if Howard Stern didn't complain to the FCC.
I like Horowitz.
Can someone explain this to someone for me. He can't figure out how it is that he has a daughter and, of course, it is all MY fault.
Works the other way, too.
"Modern" women, inculcated with P.C. feminism, are just as afraid of marriage and motherhood. It doesn't bode well for the future of the species.
"Who doesn't?"
Nice rant! My brother is single, check out his picture on the Tax-chick page :-).
But seriously, I'm so grateful I got married 15 years ago, instead of being single now!
You might laugh or scowl, but if your objectives are to meet Mr Right then the first thing is to throw everything the femocrats taught you out the window. I never bought into their mantra, but it took me quite a number of years to find out how everything, I mean everything they said was wrong.
The second thing you should do is go and buy a copy of The Rules. Don't tell your friends, coworkers or anyone. I found it helpful mainly from a guide as to how to comport yourself in a way that a) you are less apt to attract the men that you describe who are disrespectful; and b)you will be more apt to meet the courteous and thoughtful kind of man that you'd like to meet.
absolutely...children are now an inconvenience. You can't have the career and the luxury SUV with three kids and limited budget. Taking care of a husband and children are an obstacle to a woman's success. I really wanted to write that but I felt I'd just be parroting Christina Hoff Sommers *LOL*
I amuse myself by calling women younger than myself, "Young lady," and men under 30 "son"!
Feminists still haven't figured out why the teachings of the church have survived for 2000 years while some of the greatest societys ever only lasted 200 or so years. Having a good life is pretty basic, you just have to stick to the rules of the game.
thanks :) My mom says the same thing... she was glad she met my father years ago hehehe.
