Women who devote their lives to their families are the finest aspects of human life. They are saints who bring love and beauty into the world and tend to the real everyday needs of men and children. To disparage these women is a foul, vicious calumny worthy of the devil himself. Yet that's what the feminist movement is all about, though they deny it.

This is NOT what the feminist movement is all about. Some feminists may be about undermining family, but not even close to a majority are. This is a bald faced lie. Get your facts straight.

Anyone, from the Right or the Left who wishes to limit women in any way, are nothing more than fascists who believe women are sub-human. This makes BOTH radical feminists AND radical fundementalists allies in the crime of using women as pawns to their political agenda. It makes them both NAZIS declaring that they have the right to tell others how to live, no doubt even to whether they are allowed to live, if we let the NAZIS from either side prevail.

Unfortunately, both extremes miscalculated. The vast majority of women are will not be fooled by either NAZI extremist position which attempts to dehumanize women by proposing that women HAVE TO CONFORM to their agenda. Women will refuse to conform en masse to anyone's agenda, no matter what it is.

Words cannot express the contempt I have for anyone who would try to co-opt woman's humanity, her free will and her individual autonomy in any way whatsoever. Both sides are the vilest anti-human hatemongers on the planet.

Telling women what to do and what to do, how to think, and what to hope for in her life is nothing short of declaring her a sub-human entity. It won't be tolerated by women no matter which side it comes from.

No one has a clue what the "feminist movement" is all about. All that's left of it are a bunch of sour, disgruntled college professors in "womyn's studies" who are most likely on the verge of retirement.

Most "revolutionary" feminist ideas have become entirely mainstream - read this and other conservative news sites on the plight of Afghani women, for example. There is a LOT of conservative support for the horrors women experience under sha'riah Islam, but these people wouldn't call themselves "feminist."

Feminism disgraced itself deeply in the 1970s not only when large parts of "the movement" adopted lesbian separatism (think Mary Daly) but when being a 'feminist' meant being pro-abortion.

Feminism also became entirely identified with political correctness. Women who were doing everything the feminists said women "should" do - like going to law school; starting their own radio programs and newspapers; getting involved in national lobbying, etc. were trashed entirely by feminists if they were politically conservative or politically "incorrect." (The example I gave refers to Phyllis Schlafly, by the way.) So feminism got tarred not only by the brush of abortion but by radical socialism/liberalism as well.

When the goddess worship got dragged in it entirely went to you know where, and that's why people around here, I imagine, just gag when they hear "typical" feminist rhetoric.
