How feminists and feminism has destroyed masculine and feminine roles
The Washington Times ^ | December 31, 2014 | Crystal Wright

I regret not getting married when I was young. More specifically, I wish I had focused on the marriage factor, asking myself what I wanted more: a career or a family.

Unlike my mother’s generation where gender roles were uniquely defined and respected in America, the 1960s feminist movement and the offspring of liberalism has led to the death of masculinity in America today.

Gender roles have eroded to non-existence.

Starting in elementary school, teachers are drowning boys in “sensitivity,” turning men into little ‘sissies’. “They are making a toxic environment for boys. Primary education does everything in its power to turn boys into neuters,” asserts anti-feminist Camille Paglia in a recent interview.

She is absolutely correct. These same little boys grow into adults who suppress their manhood to live in a politically correct prison with “no models of manhood,” adds Paglia.

Today’s modern man is afraid to tell a female colleague she looks pretty because he could be sued for sexual harassment.

"They can’t have it both ways. If she wants to be treated like a lady, she should abandon her feminism and I will treat her as such. If she wants to cling to her feminism and un-ladylike ways, then I have no obligation to treat her like a lady."

Bingo. Males didn't change their roles, females did. Collectively, females are to blame for today's societal dysfunction.

My apologies. Females don’t realize that the moment they adopted feminism, THEY GAVE AWAY ALL THE KEYS THEY ONCE HELD IN RELATIONSHIPS, DATING, FAMILY, CHILD-REARING, ETC.. THEY GAVE ALL THE KEYS AWAY BECAUSE THEY DECIDED TO GIVE THEIR SEXUALITY AWAY.

I have a daughter and two sons. Daughter loved school, always.

The boys have both had scrapes with teachers and principals over being hyperactive, mouthy, turning in half-baked homework and scrapping with other kids.

In their free time they like to help on the farm, fish, shoot and play football. They especially adore their smart-ass grandpa (my dad) who lives on black coffee and junk food.

Seems like normal boy behavior to me, but what do I know.Every time something comes up it’s a half-hour phone call with the principal.

Disconcerting to see an article in a major news organization with an obvious subject-verb error in the title and a recurrence in the second paragraph.

“They want you to abandon traditional roles and values and marriage for counter-cultural practices.”

I haven’t. I have only abandoned rewarding feminists with gentlemanly courtesies that they neither desire nor deserve.

Let me ask you something. If some old 18th century model gentleman encountered a cannibal, stone-age, bone-through-the-nose woman in Papua New Guinea, do you think they would feel obliged to treat them with gentlemanly courtesy? Or would they understand that such a woman had no part in that social contract of courtly behavior?

I view these modern feminists much the same (and some even have the nasal piercings too!).

“If a female is acting in an inappropriate way, that doesn’t mean you should abandon your beliefs.”

How have I abandoned my beliefs? I treat ladies like ladies. Women are not necessarily ladies. It has never been my belief to treat all women as ladies, so what exactly is it I have abandoned?

Are we supposed to treat a whore like a lady as well now? I certainly don’t recall that ever being some tenet of gentlemanly behavior.

Yes, they are so deluded, they actually think that the act of giving away their greatest power in life is “empowering”.

Not really, Crystal.

Get out of DC, the bed-wetting, pajama boy capital, and you’ll find plenty of men.

My youngest son told me he’d be glad to marry a woman and have children if he could find a real woman. He said he had been proposed to marry by a couple of females. I know both of them and am glad he did not marry them. Trust has not been there for anything serious or important...yet.

He says there are some seriously deranged women out there. He said within a month the crazy will come out and then grow. I said, “don’t tell me. It will give me nightmares.”

He’s always had good radar, so I don’t have to worry about him. He’s a Christian and I think he has angels serving as blockers for him on the field of life. His dad told him “You can fall in a pile of sh!t and come out smelling like a rose. Your life is charmed.” That is a good message of hope and a positive attitude that I am thankful his dad has shared with him.

if a woman proposes to a man that is a serious strike against her. 1. she is a fool to be with him and 2 he is a fool to be with that woman. (she does not want a husband she wants a wife)
