Feminists versus Womanhood
The American Mind ^ | 05/26/21 | Helen Roy

Posted on 05/27/2021 10:11:40 AM PDT by PoliticallyShort

I don’t know a mother who would not die for her children. There is no greater love, and, speaking politically now, there is no greater responsibility. Contrary to the oft-parroted shibboleths of modern feminism, a mother’s role is not beneath her. It is actually above her, in the sense that motherhood inherently elevates women as cultivators of the gratuitous gift we know as life itself. Perhaps they already know this. Perhaps this is the point.

The reciprocal truth of the female body and the female soul is fundamentally incompatible with the progressive, individualist, materialist, liberal feminist worldview. So the two were divided, and in this division, subjected to an antispiritual regime that aggressively robs women of their dignity and unified purpose. For women to be restored in their fullness in public and private life would mean to expose and oppose this centuries-long project of the physical, social, spiritual deconstruction of women’s bodies and minds. It would be to uphold a maternal ideal so radiantly beautiful, powerful, and yet humble, as to make her detractors run and hide in shame. No wonder the enemies of humanity would like to make that Woman disappear.

“I don’t know a mother who would not die for her children.”

So the author doesn’t know any women who have had abortions?

“I don’t know a mother who would not die for her children.”

What about that woman who chopped 2 up with a meat cleaver?

We just read about that awful woman who buried her little girl in the back yard. The hyperbole and universal statements here don’t work. But a real mother, a good one, is worth her weight in gold, and she would give her life for her children and her family. I think this is just bad writing.

The creation of life within the woman is G*ds greatest and most incredible gift to human beings!

My first thought as well. The love of a good mother is phenomenal. But some women fail terribly.

I know some reading this may have indeed aborted a child. I remind them it is not the unforgivable sin. But it helps no one to pretend that it is not ghastly and acknowledging that can help with the repentance and restoration.

Perfect description.

I don’t know any women who have had abortions. Have probably met some on my life without knowing it.

There is nothing so precious as a good Mother.

There is nothing so foul as a bad mother, thankfully they are few in number.

As a general rule, when a family disintegrates it is best if the Mother is granted custody. There are of course exceptions to this... Fathers are wonderful, and IMO required if the children are to prosper.

The bond between Mother and child is the strongest bond that exists.

The bond that can develop between men engaged in combat comes close..
