All the more so when you look at her father, journalist and politician Woodrow Wyatt, Lord Wyatt of Weeford.

Every Monday I meet with a group of female friends in a London restaurant. We sit at a table near the window and discuss our lives.
We have many things in common. We are all in our mid-50s and highly educated career women. But there is a vacuum in our lives. We are all single and childless.
I increasingly feel, as do many of my intimates, that feminism has failed our generation. I grew up with its beliefs. No, strike that. I was force-fed them.
By the age of 13, Christmas presents from my Women's Lib aunt were books by Gloria Steinem and Simone de Beauvoir, considered the mother of modern feminism. (My aunt was one of those militants who had famously disrupted the 1970 Miss World contest).
My peers and I watched Mary Poppins, idolising the determinedly single nanny (never noticing the occasional sadness behind her eyes), and sympathising with suffragette Mrs Banks, while wondering why she didn't leave her dullard of a husband.

well...maybe there is an upside to assisted suicide after all. no man, no kids and if becoming a crazy cat lady isn’t appealing...well...
It difficult when the entire culture milieu was on that side “force-feeding” her as she puts it.
Religion was probably the only anchor that could have protected from those influences, but that’s why the left has done everything it can to remove Christianity from the public life.
I do feel sorry for her because she is a victim.
Probably the best course is to take a massive overdose of heroin and enjoy you life for a few seconds
What Wyatt practices is what Deep State calls feminism.
What you practice is what I call feminism.
You are conflating childless with childfree.
You shouldn’t.
Petronella, you ain’t ugly and there are plenty of men out there that could satisfy your mental and physical needs. You are making the choice yourself and whining about it.
All the more so when you look at her father, journalist and politician Woodrow Wyatt, Lord Wyatt of Weeford.
>>The first wave....the right to vote, equality in the workplace and for school admissions was just fine. I think almost everybody would support all of the above. But of course, they just couldn’t leave it at that. They had to then move on to denigrating stay at home moms, getting married - especially when younger and when they were most wanted - and into a blinding hatred of men. That stuff is all toxic....toxic to society and everybody else around them and ultimately toxic to them too.
Exquisitely written and bells-ringing true. Feminism arose out of a need to balance wrongs in the workplace. And they did that. But then they started to denigrate men in order to inflate their own positions. That’s when feminism failed.
But it seems to happen over and over again when justice is achieved and then domination, or inflating one set of values over all others, becomes a new goal. And the excuse is given why more and more laws need to be passed to support the so-called disadvantaged by always harkening back to the period of injustice, now dismantled.
there was nothing wrong in the workplace to fix ....
Luckily, my sister and I didn’t fall for the lies of feminism - that we’d be far happier with “fulfilling” careers - and be better off w/0 husbands or children that would “hold us back from reaching our potential.”
My sister passed up a huge promotion that would have meant prestigious travel on the company’s jet, a huge salary, luxury, etc., to become a wife and mother - says she doesn’t regret one single second of her decision.
.
I cut my working hours way back for my kids - we struggled, but it has been 100% worth it.
I have friends that chose a childless, husbandless life - they are now older and wonder what happened, where it all went - some are alone and bitter. Designer handbags and spoiling dogs does not make up for the joy of having a family.
I think she is alone, bitter and angry - she can’t take back the years she lost, her fertility, the lost opportunity she had to be a wife and mother (is there anything better than that??).
I bet she’d give anything to go back in time and choose a different path.
Something tells me these women should have picked an anonymous donor, given birth and give the child up for adoption. They’d be miserable every day for the rest of their lives but it would at least be for a legitimate reason.
It’s human nature. Women were put on this earth to do that. This way they can do their own thing while good people raise their child. Their bodies need to go those changes that will come through pregnancy. Then they can abandon it the way animals do. It takes a village right?
I know it sounds neanderthal but is it any worse?
And this is why speeches by folks like Harrison Butker cause leftist to spin off into a ranting, shrieking, red-faced, vein-popping hissy-fit.
I remember being chided about being a “housewife” by a couple of women like her when I had a baby on my hip and was holding the hand of a toddler. Didn’t matter; I was as happy as a lark. I’m guessing they stayed as miserable as this lady is.
I am single, childless and alone, AND I am working to save my Country! What could be a more worthy calling? Obviously it keeps me VERY BUSY!
I was fed the same feminist pablum by my own mother. Thank god I figured out the truth for myself. My children are the most precious gifts from God and yes, I sacrificed my career for them and I would do it again.
NPD? I’m q familiar with that one....
I feel like that a lot myself.
That's what they wanted you to think.
Turns out, it WASN'T "just fine". It was the wedge issue that opened a crack for contraception, abortion, faggotry, hypergamy, and genital mutilation to enter.
Same thing with the grossly misnamed "civil rights movement". That was just the wedge that opened the door for "Diversity, Inclusion, Equity".
NEVER trust a progressive.
NEVER give in to people who demand something for nothing.
Repeal19.
"A CAT". As in one of them.
That's not pathological.
Twenty cats in a 950 sq ft house?
That's pathological ...
(Yes, I'm thinking of a real person. She's down to one cat, now and her life is much better. Too much of a good thing ...)
