A few years ago, my husband, Mark, and I were at one of those hip downtown restaurants sipping mojitos and nibbling on lime-spiked seviche when one of my bosses appeared from a cloud of Cuban-cigar smoke and patted my shoulder. When I introduced him to Mark, he naturally asked what he did for a living. We both froze.
"I do some freelancing," Mark said.
"He studied film at NYU," I said at the same time.
Mark looked at me and shrugged. "I stay home with our daughter," he said, as my colleague quietly balked.
"He makes it possible for me to do my job," I said, laughing. But inside, I was mortified. Technically, I had it all back then, including a gorgeous toddler and a cool job.
What I didn't have was a husband I felt proud of.

The doctrine of "legal equality" abolishes Western civilization, which is based upon making relevant distinctions among unlike things.
Feminism has never been about acceptance of reality. By using power to suppress organic relationships among people, it is profoundly and irrevocably destructive of all, not just Western, civilization.
And it always has been.
I was not starting a debate, but clearly you wish to preach.
I think we see this woman and both see that her posture seems nutty. I think her problem, the woman in the original post, is vanity, childishness, selfishness and and extreme self centeredness and incapacy to truly love someone other than herself.

The woman is perfectly suited to her environment.

It’s not so much that I want to preach but more that I see the world in spiritual terms. If the woman in question put her life in spiritual order, she wouldn’t be vane and selfish as you note. Or, she would at least recognize those sinful aspects of her life and would be working with Christ to overcome them.

Actually, we agree. Some people have the self discipline and maturity to do what is right and/or work to fix those things that aren’t right without Christ. Many others do not. In my opinion, that’s where a Christian world view would have helped her.
He should drop this *itch for a younger more attractive woman who appreciates all the work he does around the house.
Oh, and one who makes more money.
>>It depends on how you define feminism. If you go back it used to be “the doctrine of legal equality between men and women.”
Interesting outlook. I was brought up to think of the equal protection amendment as an advancement and affirmation of the best of Western Civilization and I have not seen any reason to change.
