Opinion on Feminism

A man named John J. McCartney, Jr., writes:
"Feminism has:
1) Preached for 40 years about a woman's "right" to kill her unborn child.
2) Exhorted mothers to leave the home and do "productive work."
3) Generated hostility to men as men and encouraged reflexive questioning of male leadership in marriage and work.
4) Lobbied successfully for the privilege--for women--to experience the thrills and hazards of military combat and shipboard intimacy;
5) Made the lesbian agenda its own;
6) Lobbied for, and won, no-fault divorce, generating poverty among, and injustice to, women;
7) Loudly proclaimed the absurdity that day care is as, or more, beneficial than mother care."
I am afraid I have to agree with Mr. McCartney. The only things feminism seems to have achieved are the disintegration of the family, lots of single parents, poverty, more government interference in families, and the disappearance of Christian and European peoples.

Defending Valentines Day

I am writing this unimportant bit in defense of Valentines Day. This past week several people I know (including my stubborn teenage daughter) have told me they don't like Valentines Day! And these people are Christian, too. One of these people told me he celebrated Chinese New Year instead. I asked, "Are you Chinese?" Of course not. What nonsense. And he has been writing 2010 for the last month and a half so the idea that the New Year started in mid-February for him is silly.
I have noticed that all of these people do not currentl
y have a sweetheart. But that's no excuse!!! I was a very homely, awkward teen and did not have a sweetheart on Valentines Day until I was in my twenties but I still made or bought a beautiful Valentine for my mom and dad and also sent a valentine to my grandmothers, aunts, sisters, friends, etc.
Some people say, "Well, your husband or wife should love you all year round, not just on Valentines Day." Again, I say, What nonsense! Valentines Day is a wonderful reason to do something a little extra for your sweetheart. Of course he or she loves you the rest of the year.
Next year if anyone has the gall to say something against Valentines Day, I am making them come over, and we are going to sit and cut and color and paste some pretty papers and hearts together until they remember the wonderful, childish joy they got out of sharing something lovely with someone!!!
