Yes, this is why things like Slutwalks bother me. Also the underlying concept is irrational.
If these ladies are in a 12-Step, chances are there is some connection between the way they’ve managed their personal lives and whatever brought them to 12 Step, too. But at least they’re going to 12 Step and thats good.I’m pretty much a casualty of the sexual revolution. I never had an abortion but Ive done plenty of other stuff I’m not proud of. But now I’m in my fifties and have to make the best of life as it is. I would certainly advise young people not to do most of the things Ive done, but of course they don’t come to me for advice and I don’t blame them—I wouldn’t either. I was in my late 30s when a lot of this stuff dawned on me. Two books helped. One was Men and Marriage (sometimes called Sexual Suicide)by George Gilder. Every adult should read it. The other was The Rules by Ellen and Sherrie. Of course they came at it from a purely strategic place- -they weren’t telling women to delay gratification for moral reasons.
One of the disadvantages of having no children, stepchildren or grandchildren is the prospects for old age are grimmer. In my case since I have no siblings, I don’t have neices or nephews either. I know people who say “Well plenty of children don’t visit, don’t help, are abusive, etc.” But I think your odds are still better with children. This is is one of many reasons that the old ages of us baby boomers will be interesting, and not necessarily in a good way.
If young people , especially young women did ask me advice, I would say that one of the biggest places feminism went wrong is denying that men and women are different or should be different. The other is something clever I heard someplace-”They don’t make a condom for your heart.”
They do it because they can’t accept themselves. If they accepted themselves and were okay with their lives, they wouldn’t do these insane parades and demand that others accept it.
