I married a feminist

I am a married man, and if I know anything from day-to-day experience, it is that you cannot infer a man's politics from those of his wife.

This truth came home to me again in a discussion about the politics of Jane Sullivan Roberts, the spouse of Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Jr. Over breakfast, I mentioned that Ms. Roberts has been active in a group called Feminists for Life.

If you marry a heterosexual, pro-life feminist, you might as well be marrying a sexually repressed woman. That's how the culture looks at accomplished women like Jane Roberts: they don't fit the harridan lesbo NOW NAG type of gal. Some feminists are created more equal than others.

I just need someone to explain to me how you can have a fulfilling relationship with someone ehose views are completely opposite yours?

[longtermmemmory]

which is why I fearlessly discussed politics with women. Mixed politics are even more onerous than mixed religion marriages.

Abortion was always a good place to identify marriagable women.

[longtermmemmory]

Feminists are for recreational sex.

Prolife women are the ones you give diamonds.

Great thread! It's always confused me that those who seek "equality" can't be independent without the right to kill their children. I'm indepenndent and if I kill my kids (not that I EVER would!) I'd be locked up in the Big House for a very long time.

[Originalist]

Heh, funny, but I really mean how can a conservative man marry a liberal? If your values are opposites, how can you have a happy marriage?

[longtermmemmory]

I do not think you can.

For feminists, abortion is not just a right. Abortion is a SACRIMENT. It is their entire faith.

How do you teach children to be prolife if they have that type of "woman" as their mother? How does a father teach a girl that she is entitled to respect, when feminism yell it is the duty of every hight school girl to spread her legs and experiment. (with BOTH sexes and even at the same time)

It is like a christian man marrying a satan worshiper. Conflict is inevitable.

[goldstategop]

A man and a woman can love each other but I've yet to meet a couple that saw eye to eye on everything. President Bush is pro-life; his wife Laura isn't. No two human beings will be exactly alike and I wouldn't want to be married to a clone of myself. So why are the feminazis and the MSM so upset over Jane Roberts having her own views? Isn't a woman entitled to her own opinions? You would think in this day and age of sexual equality, the Left would accord her some respect.

Ooooh I like that!

For some folks, politics doesn't have for them the psychic energy it does for most on this site. That is why. For those who are political, it won't work, unless fighting is a turn on for them. Some folks find fighting is the spice of life, but it does get old.

[TAquinas]

Excellent.

I can attest to that.

[goldstategop]

Pro-choice feminists believe in abortion as feminism's sacrament. That doesn't mean ALL feminists subscribe to that view. Mrs. Roberts certainly doesn't and you can believe in sexual equality without endorsing the wanton slaughter of the unborn.

[longtermmemmory]

Has Laura Bush actually come out and said she is pro abortion?

It seems the impression has always been quite the opposite.

Remember the left's docrtine: Wives, you, me and everyone are only entitled to our own opinions as long as they support the correct leftist looney doctrines.

[Originalist]

I don't think anyone can see eye to eye on everthing. But we are talking about core values, not thinks like curtain colors. I just don't get it.

[longtermmemmory]

I think pro life feminist is an oxymoron.

There has to be another term and feminist is definitly NOT it.

Feminism is DEFINED by being pro abortion. PERIOD.

It may be "cute" to point out this theoretical pro-life feminist concept but it is not feminism. The impression I get is that it is just pro-life career women, not feminists. They just want to use the feminist tags so when the "hangout" with the women's lawyer association they can still posture as a "feminist" with the real feminists. Peer pressure.

Bingo.

As FReepers, policy is "who we are."

I have known of couples for whom NOTHING comes before their mate. Their entire reason for being is each other. I think they could work, even if that makes them pretty much useless to the rest of the world.

[Polybius]

Freedom entails control over one's own body.

Very true.

However, once you allow your body to get pregnant, you are also dealing with a separate human being's body.

What control do feminists allow the unborn child over his or her own body?

Who is this guy trying to fool - himself? He must have suspected she was a bit left leaning when she told him she wasn't going to take his name. Not even one of those hyphenated jobs.
