For example, voting. It doesn’t seem so great to me. Feminism didn’t start in the 1960’s, it started well before that at least 100 yrs before. For women, the right to vote is indeed a precious right…I do agree however, that politics in of itself leaves me cold.
In regards to holding “elected” office,
As women we have the opportunity, irregardless of our present political circumstance.
Working outside the home. First, women have always worked. But, assuming she means anti-discrimination laws and affirmative action for women, then again I would say, it’s just about money and perhaps, some status.
It was not my intent to state that women who were SAHM didn’t work. I was clear by stating, "outside, i.e. in addition to “the home”. The laws I refer to are the the laws that state you cannot sexually harrass a women in the workplace, nor can you deny her a promotion to an equally qualified man, whether he is married or not. Back in the day the justification for not promoting a woman was, “well she is married, her husband takes care of her”, or “I have to choose the man, because he is married and has a family to support.” or “I can’t choosed the single woman over the single man, because she will get married, get pregnant and I will be in a bind during maternity leave.” It is against the law to ask a woman if she is planning on having children, if she is married, or if she has children, their ages. I for one am glad that law exists.
Own Property, drive a car and legally possess money. Again, I think husbands have always been able to leave their estates to their wives, **Not talking about “estates”, I am talking about the “here and now”. She shouldn’t have to ask “permission” to buy groceries, nor should she be “put on an allowance” by her husband as if she were his child." These things are discussed “together”. **if they chose to, a woman could drive a car, “Who’s car would she drive? Is her name on the title?” if she had one and a woman could buy a house,**if she had a house, why would she buy one

Now is her name on the deed to the house? ** if she had the money (which she could always possess),
She could only possess the money at her husband’s call. I am refering to back in the day. but that isn’t what I think she’s talking about here. I think what she means is using Media and Public Education and
whatever means necessary, to coerce/convince men into treating women that way.
Men didn’t have a blank check to murder their wives or kidnap them. Need I say, that the percentage of women murdered by their husbands has not significantly changed as a result of all these sacrifices that have been made to our Civil Liberties, in the name of “protecting” women. Remember, when men lose their Civil Rights in one area, it gets generalized to other areas for EVERYONE

Can you say, “Police State?” Nobody seems to connect these dots

maybe it’s got something to do with…
…Education; the term “education” has become a meaningless term. Nowadays, a kid graduates from high school, but can’t read or write. A prisoner is declared reformed and winds up on the six o’clock news crime report. Cable Television, again, need I say more? Yeah, I probably do. O.k., M.T.V., for example, seems dedicated to stimulating Vice and ridiculing Virtue. Well, that’s certainly one kind of education! You spend eight years getting a P.H.D. and wind up waiting tables! Your parent’s both work, you spend all day in school, watching t.v., hanging out with your friends or reading Time magazine and you are declared “raised” at age 16 or 18. We seem to live in a culture where people are irrationally afraid of the weather, the water, the food, the fuel, their houses, their clothes, their tools, their families, their bodies and The Church. Yet, we are told, ad nauseam, that we are living in the most enlightened era of mankind! Education, I’m not sure that we are getting the kind of teaching that we need. Again though, I don’t think this is what she means. I think she means women should be encouraged to get whatever Training/Credentials are required to get the highest paying and highest status jobs. So, again, it appears to be
all about money and status.
Totally missed the boat on this one. How many women doctors, lawyers, press, senators, etc…were women back in the early 1900’s? Women were not encouraged to get an education. It went too far in the 50’s where a woman’s interest in going to college was to find a man and get married, vs. women in the 60’s and beyond went to college to the betterment of themselves. Education has been of great benefit to women. Unless of course you are a woman in the Middle East…where she can’t drive, can’t vote, has no money and is not educated. Sounds like paradise to you
Of course, it is also about Independence, taken to the extreme. The justification for which appears to be, women don’t want to depend on men in a culture that has abandoned Faith and Reason (not mind you, because of a failing on “men’s” part, but because “women” realize to reform men would require a return to Reason and Morality, which they, like men, are unwilling to do). So, the “positives” of Feminism appear to be the moral equivalent of a prostitute wearing a condom to protect their customer from getting a venereal disease. In other words, if one moral law hadn’t already been broken, there wouldn’t appear to be a need to break another, to prevent, what appears to be, an even greater tragedy. Where does it end? Well, I guess that depends on which direction you are headed.:christmastree1:
