The women’s movement has sold women a bill of goods.
All of life revolves around the family — or it should. But the idea of “providing” for a family has morphed into the idea of “career,” wherein the means to an end has become the end in itself. People have lost focus as to what really matters.
The idea of motherhood has been denigrated. Women have been taught to disdain the very activities which we are biologically — and yes, spiritually — wired to do. The activities which ultimately bring us the most joy.
The notion of sexual morality — designed to protect children from being born into situations without a mother to nurture and a father to provide — has been undermined. In the name of “equality,” young women are now being conditioned to behave like the fantasies of the most selfish, irresponsible men. They make themselves available without any commitment or even love. If they conceive, they kill the child, or go off to raise it on their own, patting themselves on the back for their independence.
I went to law school after putting my sixth child in kindergarten. I now have 19 grandchildren. My job has been rewarding in every way that a job can be rewarding. But it can’t begin to give my life meaning the way my children and grandchildren do.
I’m sorry that this poor woman bought into the lie.
Good post.

Law school after 6 kids eh? Wow.
You rock!
Exactly what i would like to do. My 6th is 18mo. When he gets into school I will be going back myself, probably not for law, just a teaching degree, but I figure we can graduate at the same time!
Nice post...........
I've been reading this thread, thinking I feel no sorrow for this lady, but not having words to explain why...thank you for helping me find them.
There's a saying in sales that you can't sell anything to anyone, you can just help them buy.
There's another saying...you can't con a honest person.
She got what she asked for...too bad for her it's not what she wanted.
Were I to feel some form of sorrow or pity or sympathy for her, it would require first that I consider her an innocent bystander in her own life. That would be immoral, IMO.
It is what it is. I have no sympathy for those who've p!$$ed in the well, and now don't like the way the coffee tastes.
That is a most insightful and profound comment. Your life experience has clearly given you great wisdom.
