Power hungry congressmen of the 1960s helped feminists get their way, using their government power in exchange for guaranteed women’s votes to keep them in jobs where they could pass pay raises for themselves, never be held accountable for the quality of their work, and win high-paying private-sector jobs lobbying their own successors later on.
and
...millions of men who have little respect for women and who take no responsibility for the support or rearing of the children they sire.
So how are men not responsible for the problems blamed on feminism?
What they wanted were guarantees that they could compete for jobs they aren’t as good at as men, and as job applicants be given special status and relaxed standards rather than submit to open competition.
Whether feminists want that or not is beside the point, because men are willing to give that for completely unrelated reasons.
Look men, I don't enjoy male bashing any more than the next guy, but some where along the line men are going to have to face up to the harm they cause themselves and each other and change their ways, or they will all end up going to the unemployment lines or bankrupt, uselessly blaming feminism for the discrimination they inflict on each other. It's as simple as that.
Not to get off topic......but this is a telling statement in regards to our current state of affairs, nationwide.
Pretty much.
"Equality" Abortion on demand and "sexual freedom" were desired..
The Feminists got what they wanted, but it came at a heavy price and it's not over yet either.. There's still a whole generation on the way with even less respect for motherhood, marriage and women in general.
Right now you can find them putting condoms on banannas in (ahem) "health" class. But they will be the leaders of tomorrow soon enough.
1/2 Disagree. They are passive. They are however power-hungry just as much as Feminazi's. They ALWAYS pack down from another guy in a straight up confrontation. They also do not hesitate to stab that person in the back or hit a women. These are the same types of guys that frequent piecenik(Spelling intentional) rallies.
The men in Congress and the judges who helped bring it about weren’t necessarily wimps. They were foolish, scheming, selfish, and short-sighted, yes; but I’m sure there were more opportunists than pushovers among them.
I think where I disagree with the author here is on the definition of wimp. Running to the hills in response of doing what is RIGHT is the epidomy of a wimp. 65% of it in the mind. Oftentimes those that are wimps physically are also wimps in the mind, but that's not always the case. these men are somehow wimps for not reversing the tide of feminism
Some are, some aren't. Those that put their head in the sand sure as hell are though. Giving up is the same as running to the hills.
and many (especially in the South) have quietly ignored the moral and philosophical wrecks that are Congress, our institutions of higher learning, and the popular press
That's backing down. Running to the hills. Head in the sand. Wimps.
Some men choose not to speak out much because they have accepted the grave responsibility of supporting a family, and for their families’ sakes they put job security ahead of ego
Why do so many people think of it as an either/or situation? Family is important. Picking the people that are supposed to represent us DIRECTLY affects families. How long does it take to write a letter to the editor? Vote? Tell others to vote for or against someone. An hour a month at a GOP meeting? Putting in even just one hour helping a good candidate. Bring the family.
What does that old saying go. You have to stand for something or you fall for anything.
