“Would you like some more Koolaid?”

Oh... I’m serving tea. Koolaid goes straight to my hips. Do you really think that women competing in sports like swimming, gymnastics, softball, weight lifting, track and field etc... has anything to do with abortion, STD’s, divorce, fatherless children, poverty, homosexuality, AIDS, gangs and a high murder rate?!! I suggest you research the benefits of females that compete in sports... read a little about how young women benefit by healthy competition and exercise. Granted, American society has more evils than the times of our grandparents BUT involving young girls/women in sports helps parents reduce the risk of many of these evils.

No. Natural athleticism in women is fine. No one is saying physical fitness education is a bad thing.

Feminism though has pushed athleticism on women. You are aware of the incredibly unfair application of Title IX, aren’t you? Colleges shut-down men’s athletics (with LOTS of demand from men for them) and open up certain women’s athletics (with little demand from women for them) just to APPEAR to be fair.... Why such an ideal for women to be athletic? Why such an ideal for women to do everything men do?

My point is that FEMINISM itself IS INDEED a key element in: “abortion, STD’s, divorce, fatherless children, poverty, homosexuality, AIDS, gangs and a high murder rate.”

Every one of those problems is directly related to dysfunctional families...which feminism has at least aggravated.

Is equal-pay for equal-work a good thing? Of course. Should men and women be treated with equal respect? YES. Beyond that though, feminism has been a very negative thing.

The acceptance of the anti-feminine elements of feminism, is equally to blame on both men and women.
