While much of feminist doctrine appears nutty to most of us, it is amazing how much influence it still has in the MSM and many university campuses. Until state supported colleges and universities are forced by those who fund them to begin to welcome points of view which are other than hard left it will be difficult to fundamentally change the culture.
As for the MSM, just keep turing away from it. They will come around to honoring other points of view in the end.
And there I was thinking feminism had something to do with equal opportunities and legal protection from abusive husbands and predatary employees!
Any ideas how I can tell my daughter she should quit school and prepare for her life as a never-was, idealised 50s-style homemaker?
you are a nit-wit..............
I agree with the thrust of this article, but am skeptical of this statement. Our prohibitions against, say, murder conflict with nature. That is why we have moral frameworks, to rein in those impulses that conform to nature, but that also produce bad results.
I've always thought that worst thing to happen to American culture was women in the workplace. Work related affairs have probably broken up as many families as all other causes combined.
No, that's what feminism *should be*. It's gone way beyond that, and you know it.
Could you explain that?
Well, I'm an attorney and I hope my daughters, when they become adults, are as happy and satisfied as my stay-at-home wife and I hope they're much happier than the mostly-unhappy women that I deal with at work every day who struggle to balance raising children and pursuing a career (really we're pushing papers) whihch they've been told is the only means to a satisfied life
bttt
You are a smart man irontank.
I have watched with much grief as the managment in our office has slowly been taken over by women. Any men that get promoted are either girlymen or metrosexuals. The women are intelligent, knowledgable, and competent....but I do not want them in managment (or the girlymen). Leadership is mostly about personality and image...the leader sets the tone and atmosphere of the workplace. Women set a different tone and atmosphere than men....its hard to describe but its like working in a beauty salon vs working in a sports bar.
As competent as they may be, I don't think women know how to raise and keep morale...at least the morale of their male employees. Fortunately I retire in 4 years...by that time it will probably be all women executives.
Pick a little talk a little cheep cheep cheep..:)
She/it is a troll of several days.
Good article.Especially the last paragraph that says "Feminism working hand in hand with communism,multiculturalism.....continues to work to undermine America at it's core."That's the bottom line.Undermine a cultures institutions(church,family,etc)destroy the infrastructure,the glue that holds it together,and eventually it will implode.So what do they(libs)want to replace it with?Anarchy?
Mtr Reese has issue. Feminism may be his problem, but it's not THE problem
Your first sentence is the stated goal, but we would have to have a much longer discussion than we can have here about (1) if that is only a subterfuge for other agendas and (2) whether the methods we have chosen (or the feminist movement has chosen) to advance to those stated or unstated goals. Of course, you can see from my questions where I stand, but I can see why you might disagree.
The "homemaker" statement might be a cliche that you would reconsider. I don't believe anyone wants a June Cleaver society, although it would arguably be vastly superior to what we have.
I believe that type society was doomed from the invention of the oral contraceptive, for better or worse, so that the entire relationship of men-women with respect to sex, marriage, and family was upset. Unfortunately, oral contraception is, for one reason or another, less than totally effective or not used. We then have a society that acts on the assumption that babies do not, or cannot, happen, while at the same time the lunacy of that assumption is manifest.
By not teaching girls about modesty, chastity and the power of feminine charm. The "cool mom" story out of Denver is a perfect example of that. (And I know she's an anomaly, but there are a lot of women that would rather be their daughter's friend then mother.)
WoW! Just Wow!
