He is right on about feminism. Feminism brought us divorce, and with it boys who grow up without the guidance of fathers, which was what they wanted. They also brought us other breakdowns of family,. Those being homosexuality, pride in that, and most other social experiments. We now have an entire generation and a half, where a lot of children, way too many, with the help of the public education system, have grown up in a world of divorce and promiscuity with no basis for what marriage really is or what it really means. These children, now adults, haven’t experienced a true family life, (most of them) or a solid relationship with which to model their own lives after. Is it any wonder so many young people don’t understand the need to defend marriage and morals?
Feminists orchestrated all of this over a period of time, and it is time for traditional morals to take a hard stand against it, for the same of our children and our country!
I think there is plenty of blame to be spread around. Sure, feminists fought for women’s rights to work, which brought higher divorce rates. To blame them solely for divorce is unfair.
Had all men treated women with the care and respect demonstrated by walking to the outside of the sidewalk and opening doors, divorce would not be nearly as prevalent. It just didn’t happen that way.
My father walked out on my mom and his five children, when I was in middle school. Never paid a dime in child support. Mom worked a full time administrative job, cleaned the offices at night, and cleaned houses on the weekend to keep us from starving. My wife’s father walked out on her mom when she was 2. She ended up in foster care until her mom had a reliable job and could take care of her. Her father never contacted either his children or his wife again.
There is plenty of blame for the male gender in society’s problems. If all men treated their wives with care and respect, feminism would not have taken hold as it did. I have seen plenty of my buddies treat their wives as if they weren’t important, only to have the wife up and leave. You can say she is responsible because she left. It just isn’t very accurate.
Feminism is a bad thing for society. IMO it is worse for women. It has created a society in which the woman is almost expected to work, and where it is difficult to make ends meet without 2 incomes. After a long work day, and coming home to five kids, my wife used to swear that the feminist movement was created and advanced by men.
Did it start with feminism? I grew up in the sixties and the free love thing is what I remember first.
Beautifully stated!
