“We in the West do not refrain
from childbirth because we are concerned about the population
explosion or because we feel we cannot afford children, but because
we do not like children." ~Germaine Greer
Last week columnist Lyndia Lovric at the
Winnipeg Sun launched this salvo: "One of the biggest
lies perpetuated by modern-day feminists is the contention that
feminism is about equality. Feminists aren't interested in
equality. What they want is revenge."
We are forever amazed how many women
journalists proclaim it's a man's world in 1st and 2nd world
countries. Women can do anything they like these days and have
unlimited possibilities in all areas of life. If women consciously
think it's a mans world then off course those thoughts will
continue to resonate and manifest the same. "What you resist
persists"...
Feminism has moved along for women and it
has created a whole world of academic study within Universities
around the globe. Young women today have the world at their feet.
But where did feminism really come from and when did it really get
started?
We found this article below that was
interesting, it's not our educated view but adds some flavor to the
discussion. Men have had to reinvent themselves and we don't mean
by going metro sexual. There has been such a swing for women's
studies and women's involvement in just about everything males are
being out numbered in everything except adult dating sites which
also ironically works in women's favor.
Feminist Utopia,
Social Nightmare
by Carey
Roberts
Every era
has its utopian movements that hold out the promise of social
perfectibility. One such movement is feminism, which claims the
path to social nirvana is the liberation of women and the creation
of a gender less society.
One hundred
years ago, feminism claimed that equal rights under the law was its
goal. Once women won the right to vote in 1920, many predicted that
having achieved its objective, the women’s movement would close up
shop and fade away.
But
feminism did not lapse into the dust-heap of history. It merely
went underground.
For 40
years, the feminist cause was sustained and nurtured by the
Communist Party of the
USA.
This was accomplished by establishment of the CPUSA Women’s Bureau
in the 1920s, and later through the creation of a front
organization, the Congress of American Women.
Recognizing
its Communist origins, the US Department of Justice placed the CAW
on its list of subversive organizations in 1948. (Go to the CPUSA’s
web page at www.cpusa.org, and you will see how they have cleverly
combined the Communist icons of the hammer and sickle to form a
logo that closely resembles the radical feminist hand-mirror
symbol.)
When the
Civil Rights movement swept the nation in the 1960s, feminism came
out of the woodwork. Although feminists still claimed to be working
for gender equality, their actions would soon reveal a very
different agenda.
Their true
intentions became apparent in the feminist position on abortion. In
their view, the decision to keep or dispose of an unborn child was
the woman’s, and only the woman’s prerogative. No mention of gender
equality there.
And the
matter of who would gain custody of the kids in the event of
divorce – would it be the mother, the father, or both? In the
1970s, the answer became clear, as chapter after chapter of the
National Organization for Women came out in opposition to joint
custody. This, in spite of the fact that this co-parenting
arrangement affords equal rights to both parents – not to mention
its benefits for the children.
Next the
breast cancer crusade came along. Before long, the National
Institutes of Health was spending three times more money on breast
cancer research than prostate cancer. Where’s the equality in
that?
Then came a
series of laws that purported to protect women from predatory
males: sexual harassment, domestic violence, and broadly-worded
rape statutes. In theory they sounded good. But in practice, they
violated men’s fundamental Constitutional protections of due
process and equal protection under the law.
Affording
equal opportunities to men and women is laudable. But in practice,
feminism cares nothing about mere equality. Now, white women have
become the most legally-protected and economically-privileged group
in
America.
At their
core, all utopian movements seek to remold human nature. The
Marxists demanded that the New Socialist Man place the interests of
the state above the needs of the individual. And the feminist
movement seeks to achieve a society in which the social and
psychological differences between the sexes are
eradicated.
But history
reveals the populace inevitably begins to resist such extreme
psychological make-overs. So the utopians soon look to the
government for a solution. That entails placing ever-increasing
power in the hands of petty bureaucrats.
When their
policies begin to infringe upon individuals’ basic civil rights,
the utopians inevitably explain that the ends justify the means.
Thus the totalitarian state begins to emerge.
The
feminist utopia is a social nightmare to women. Because feminism
endeavors to remake women in the image of men. Feminism seeks to
remove women’s choice to marry, bear children, and devote
themselves to child-rearing.
The
feminist utopia is a social nightmare to men. Because feminism
wants to remake men in the image of women. In the feminist vision,
men are a continual threat to women, so their rights and freedoms
must be gradually curtailed.
And the
feminist utopia is a nightmare to children. At best, gender
feminists see their offspring as an impediment to maternal
self-fulfillment. At worst, children are viewed as a
contraceptive-abortive failure.
In 1870
Queen Victoria of England wrote, “I am most anxious to enlist
everyone who can speak or write to join in checking this mad,
wicked folly of 'Women's Rights,' with all its attendant horrors
…Were women to 'unsex' themselves by claiming equality with men,
they would become the most hateful, heathen and disgusting of
beings and would surely perish without male protection.”
One hundred
and twenty-five years later, we should give her prediction a second
look.
PC Feminism
It appears that the concept of
PC Feminism evolved out of, or is an umbrella term that describes,
a combination of various factions of feminism, such as Affirmative-Action
Feminism, Gender-Feminism, Hegemonic Feminism, Pop-Feminism, Post-Modernist Feminism, Radical-Feminism, Survivor-Feminism, Total Rej (total rejection)
Feminism, and Victim Feminism, in short, any and all forms of feminism that
elevate women to the status of a superior class of citizens and
relegate men and boys to the category “sub-human”.
Therefore,
PC
Feminism not only promotes superior status, rights and privileges
for women but makes all-out discrimination against men and boys
politically correct and desirable.
(How true! after 6 years of studying feminist
academics and their writings/teachings this is their
way)
