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.

  1. The early day feminists really were working for a certain equality which was not being practiced. If one looks upon statements and writings by Susan B. Anthony, one is struck by her pro-life convictions. Children were not her gripe.

    The early feminists wanted women to be able to vote the same as men, they wanted to be able to be recognized for capabilities in addition to childbearing and care of infants and family. They wanted appreciation for the loftier feminine characteristics which make society finer by the woman's touch.

    Ironically, though, today's radical feminism has abandoned its original movement. The movement now works to make women feel that to be meaningful, they must function in correlation to how men are made, forsaking those very functions which are innate to their own sex. It has evolved away from a voice to be appreciated for what is feminine, and toward it's fatal flaw, the raw envy of men.
