I apologize if one is offended but that is not my intent in any way. My intent is actually the opposite to praise women for the motherhood role. I think the offense some are taking is due to the influence of the lie of feminism.I agree. Comments such as the ones we’re discussing are plainly and flatly misogynistic, especially when we have saints like St Gianna Beretta Molla, a doctor, and are cheering at the nomination of a pro-life Catholic Justice of the US Supreme Court who also happens to be a wife and mother.
It is sad that Catholic women on this forum have to be exposed to such rude and intolerant comments. Imagine if someone posted that Blacks or Jewish people should not have certain jobs. Why is it okay to say these things about women? I can only hope and pray that the people who say these things are not raising children, especially daughters.
And I am also a woman and I agree with Montrose that the comment was rude and should not be tolerated on this forum, and I know many women on here who agree with me as we have discussed it between us every time we have to read these types of insensitive posts.I am a woman and there is absolutely no apology needed here and I know many other women who would be upset if they received an apology here.
I’ve heard it countless times myself and we hear it all the time. Women say there are no good men out there. This is a lie. There are plenty of good men but women will not consider many men based on their status. People can deny that all they want but it is true.Hmmm…so what you are saying is that the less a women earns, or better yet, earns nothing, the better her chances of finding a husband?
My friend. When you are in a hole you should stop digging!I’ve heard it countless times myself and we hear it all the time. Women say there are no good men out there. This is a lie. There are plenty of good men but women will not consider many men based on their status. People can deny that all they want but it is true.
Many women will work, go to college, etc. and there is nothing wrong with that. Single women have to work. No one is saying that is wrong. The problem is when women who are married and have husband can have children but put it off for job or education. Many women put off children to seek education or jobs as these things take priority rather than bearing children. This is a lie of feminism. It is permeating our culture in every aspect.That didn’t come across the way I meant it to and I apologize. However, in times past, all it took was for a female to be of childbearing age to be of the age to marry, hence with a marriage, the running of a home. That tends to be the thing among the evangelical families that are featured on TV with very large families- the young teen girls are doing all the household management while the mom has another baby (the Duggars come to mind). So, that’s the point I was making in that if women were to only be taking care of the home, there was no need for God to give them the ability to attend college and do anything else. Let me state this- there is nothing wrong with only having a high school education and choosing to be at home with no other job. There is nothing wrong with having a post-doctorate and choosing to be at home with no other job. There is nothing wrong with any combination of those and choosing to be at home or working.
Please stop saying all women!!! because that is not true. The poster is praising women for the beautiful role of motherhood and I do not want an apology for that. Motherhood is the greatest gift God created in me. All women are called to be mothers, even if it is spiritual motherhood.I repeat my earlier comment. You owe all women an apology for such an attitude.
This is very true. Women are more angry and unhappy today than they have been for a very long, long time.It was not meant in any disrespect. You are not understanding my point. It is not to say a woman cannot do a job, but rather to imply that being a mother is better than any job for a woman. We are seeing the consequences of feminism today. This feminism idea is what has empowered women to seek after this workplace success, but they do not find happiness no matter what their job success. Feminism has twisted it that attaining success is good and being a mother is not that great. That is a lie. Motherhood should be held in the highest esteem.
Feminism has lied to and deceived so many women.This is a lie of feminism. It is permeating our culture in every aspect.
UnderstandThat didn’t come across the way I meant it to and I apologize.
Just saying, in times past, many men did not have college educations either but rather worked a trade or worked a farm.However, in times past, all it took was for a female to be of childbearing age to be of the age to marry, hence with a marriage, the running of a home.
Except that as I said, there are seasons in a woman’s life. There will be a time before she starts a family and a time when her family is grown. Also a woman having a college education can aid her in helping her children with their schoolwork, or manage a home business, help her husband with a family business…So, that’s the point I was making in that if women were to only be taking care of the home, there was no need for God to give them the ability to attend college and do anything else.
Or bring in the money to support herself and the family when Husband is out of a job, disabled, or dies at a young age, which happens quite a bit.Also a woman having a college education can aid her in helping her children with their schoolwork, or manage a home business, help her husband with a family business…
I am very, very glad that Amy Coney Barrett has been appointed by President Trump, though I do believe we need to lift her up in prayer because having a large family and a very stressful career is very difficult and weighing on a family. Having a small family with or without a career can be difficult.And yet we have a wonderful example in Amy Coney Barrett- she is showing one can have many children and have a successful career at the same time. Liberals can’t handle that because it goes against their rhetoric of children are a hindrance to a career and the mad-rad-trads* and MGTOW can’t handle it because she shows that a career is not a hindrance to having a lot of children.
I agree, though again as I said, this would be a season in a woman’s life, not the rule of all family life.Or bring in the money to support herself and the family when Husband is out of a job, disabled, or dies at a young age, which happens quite a bit.
He’s also saying that a number of us, while needing to work, are still stealing jobs from men and thereby lowering the pool of “eligible” men to marry due to the size of our incomes.The poster is praising women for the beautiful role of motherhood and I do not want an apology for that.
A man being dead is permanent. It’s not a “season in a woman’s life”. There might not be another man to come along and help. She might not even WANT another man, which is fine, she doesn’t have to have one.I agree, though again as I said, this would be a season in a woman’s life, not the rule of all family life.
Yes, it is true it is permanent but it is apparent that their marriage started out with him alive. She didn’t start out as a widow. After he dies it becomes a new era in her life.A man being dead is permanent. It’s not a “season in a woman’s life
I am not sure the poster is a he and I do not believe the poster addressed the issue of women having to work but rather women choosing to compete in the work force and put career over family and the problems with feminism.He’s also saying that a number of us, while needing to work, are still stealing jobs from men
Motherwit said:That just isn’t true. It was because women wanted more for their daughters that they encouraged them into higher education and careers
That just isn’t true. It was because women wanted more for their daughters that they encouraged them into higher education and careers. The post war generation of women who were being forced out of the workforce and told to be good 50’s housewives resulted in an epidemic of prescribed opiate addiction.This is very true. Women are more angry and unhappy today than they have been for a very long, long time.
He is not. He is saying women should stay at home, have kids and look after the home and stop cheating men out of jobs. Read all his posts.Please stop saying all women!!! because that is not true. The poster is praising women for the beautiful role of motherhood and I do not want an apology for that. Motherhood is the greatest gift God created in me. All women are called to be mothers, even if it is spiritual motherhood.

Well they are taking jobs men could take. A female doctor is most likely not going to consider marrying a man who works at Walmart. The pool of eligible men for women has been greatly reduced due to this. We hear it all the time from women, “there are no quality good men for them.” Yes, because they are seeking providers that can provide more than they could provide for themselves.
She/he didn’t qualify those as “women who are married”. Just “women”. That second quote especially is general, not specific. I work in a job that can be done by a man and it makes a good income. Therefore, I’m stealing a job from a man and lowering the number of “eligible” men for me to marry because of my income.Women in workplace limits the men they would choose to marry and therefore disrupted God’s plan for children and families. We see it so prevalent today.
Actually, if you’re working around a bunch of men all day, you’re increasing your chances of meeting a nice, marriageable man with a job. I spent 13 years in a heavily male-dominated workplace, and every single woman who worked there and wanted to find a husband did not have trouble finding one, including me.I work in a job that can be done by a man and it makes a good income. Therefore, I’m stealing a job from a man and lowering the number of “eligible” men for me to marry because of my income.
I hear the poster saying that as women compete against men in the work force and get jobs men may have received, leaving men to get jobs that pay way less, these men are less appealing to these career women making large sums of money. I can see that happening. Maybe not by everyone but some.She/he didn’t qualify those as “women who are married”. Just “women”. That second quote especially is general, not specific.
