Jan 16, 2004 “To the woman He [God] said, “I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in pain you shall bring forth children; your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.” (Genesis 3:16) And ever since, men and women have been doing everything conceivable to ignore this aspect of God’s curse on humanity, I believe we all pretty much understand the difference between what is “feminine” and what is “feminist”. Those things feminine are designed to attract men for the main purposes of marriage and procreation. Women who want husbands, homes and family understand that “feminine” is the way to achieve these things. The “feminist” is in the camp that doesn’t care about men. If they need men at all it might be for a quick physical gratification, a plug for a promotion or some generic use before the man is tossed aside and forgotten as useless towards the feminist’s life’s goal. The feminist tells women they are unfulfilled without a college degree, a high paying CEO position and a guest spot on “Ophra”. There have been countless (yet, here’s one more) articles, columns, studies and books written within the past two years alone discussing the “Inequality of the sexes”. Some of these articles explain that men and women are somehow “different”. Others push a gospel of all men and women being “equal” in every way. This is not surprising. In an age obsessed with gender distinctions, how many restrooms will be enough? Are we male, female, bisexual, transsexual, transvestrical, homosexual, or just animal? The lines between these distinctions are so blurred it is a wonder we all aren’t wearing dresses over our trousers. (Gee, I hope that doesn’t start a fashion trend.) We have done this to ourselves. We can blame no one. We were given a design of one man with one woman. The man was to toil the fields to support his family. The woman was to be at home, teaching her children and keeping the home safe and secure until the man came home. Then, together, as a family, they would all play board games, or read stories or do homework together until everyone would say “good-night” the old fashioned “Walton’s” way. When the dissatisfaction of feminism reared its terrible frame, “family” became and endangered species. When all those unfulfilled “moms” hit the workplace, the number of extramarital affairs increased, leading to more dissatisfaction. Then the number of divorces increased, leading to more dissatisfaction. Then the number of single “mother” led “families” increased, leading to even more dissatisfaction. HELP! Even I, a stupid man, can see the correlations. Women (non-feminists) want to be loved and secure in a relationship because that is the way it was always meant to be. To think that fulfillment can come from a job is the wrong thought. Eventually, the natural instincts of womanhood will come into play. Children and a stable relationship and a home will become desires that will interfere with a career. I read this sentence the other day: “Without pressure to change, workplaces don’t.” The sentence came right after the point was made that men are less likely than women to “demand that [a] workplace bend to a family’s needs.” There is a lot of that going around these days. The “Family Leave Act” is 12 or so weeks of “unpaid” leave available for family matters. Now some are fighting to get those 12 weeks “paid” at the expense of the “workplace”. Why does anyone have to “pressure”, by governmental regulation no less, someone else to support us? Why can’t men and women take responsibility for their own life’s choices? If you are a woman who insists on dealing in every aspect of traditional male roles, you should expect to find some areas you will fail at. You must never expect anyone to lower standards so you may claim success. Men, we have become “feminized” to the extent that we are failures in our duty to toil and support our women. We use them. We get them pregnant, and we walk away. Things are so bad we’re letting “Queer Eyes” show us how to catch and keep our women. ARGH! When “police- MAN”, “fire-MAN”, and “Army MAN” were forced by PCism to become “police-PERSON”, “fire-PERSON”, and “Army-PERSON”, we lost all our authority to be heads of our households. “Pandora’s Box” was opened long ago. The proverbial “Cat” has been out of the proverbial “Bag” since Ms. O’Hare and her atheist ilk had prayer and the bible stripped out of our public schools. We are all self-inflicted victims of this so-called “modernization” of man and we will probably continue to believe our federal government will be able to regulate us back to some sort of sanity. The fact of all matters is that men and women are not equal. They never have been equal. They never will be equal. Acceptance of that might just give some of us peace of mind. There will always be those however, who will insist God didn’t know what he was talking about. ------------ About the Author: Independent, Conservative, Christian.
