I Love and Respect My Feminist Mother, But We Can’t Talk

The “liberal crisis” is having a conservative kid.

Very good post.

BUMP!

Not for women workers at the bottom....where most are. We make less.

9 Kids!? Somebody get Alouette and her husband some board games or something.

You can try strip poker. :)

The biggest problem with the feminist movement is that too many of them folded the results of their poor personal life choices into the mix and projected them onto ALL men, thereby creating a situation that totally upended the social conventions without having something steadying to take their place.

Bears a repeat.

This is sad. But note that Morgan says she continually tries to understand the world view of the conspiracy nuts and other left-liberals; she carefully states that they are not nuts, and she is respectful. It is her mother who rejects her. This is so typical of liberals: if you’re not a liberal, you’re a bad person in their eyes.

[puroresu]

It’s hard to think of any movement that has done more to harm Western Civilization than feminism.

My mother is almost like that. She is a rational communist who can be logically convinced that I am right, and she is wrong. Of course, she would be a libertarian 'cept of her stance on the 2nd amendment. That way, she is a pure of heart communist. (albeit a pacifist one at that!)

Of course, she also threatened to disown me if I purchased Godless by Anne Coulter.

I bought it the day after it came out, when she wasn't looking. BWWWAAAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHA

I my my FIL (G_d rest hos soul!) 3 months before I met my MIL. He was a conservative, and she is a BDS liberal. Odd couple. Anyway, my better half is conservative (I'm actually to the right of him! LOL) so that does sound about right.

He thinks my mother is a trip, and we won't even start with my aunt, who is planet pluto.....

Not for women workers at the bottom....where most are. We make less.

Not for the same job description and experience levels. 'equal pay for equal work' means comparing apples to apples, not apples to oranges. There is an over all pay gap because women are still generally (statistically)choosing lower paying fields and also taking more time off or working fewer hours. Blatantly paying two people in the same job different based on gender is not legal, unless it is affirmative action type stuff and the woman is getting paid more. Which happens at my company.

My ex is a feminist. She hates my guts for raising our sons to be conservatives and recognizing feminist ideology for what it is—liberalism.

I chose a conservative, religious lifestyle and had 9 kids.

9 Kids!? Somebody get Alouette and her husband some board games or something.

My theory is that larger families can be less difficult to raise than smaller ones - because the mothers of large families are under no illusions that they can afford to allow their children to debate their parents.

Only a theory, mind you. We had three, widely spaced, and their mother was far more tolerant of dissent than my own mother had been. But, when you are Daddy, you come home after the ground rules have already been established, and you either go with the program as it exists or you start a war you don't need. I thought sure that our kids would all grow up to be lawyers . . .

Feminism was only good for one thing: economic opportunity. The rest of it sucks for women.

The irony is that men respected women more and held them up on a pedestal before feminism. Men would watch their mouths in the presence of a lady, hold the door open for her, that sort of thing. They had manners. Feminism did away with good manners. They called that oppression (rolling eyes).

Well, I wasn't raised that way. I remember when I was young and dating (some 25+ years ago), I would stand by the car door and wait for the guy to open it. If he did, he might get a second date. If he didn't, he didn't get a second look.

Now my 12 year old son will open the car door for me and hold out his hand to help me out. He's been taught well.

Bet Holiday dinners are fun...

Not since they realized most conservatives are pro second amendment.

JUST KIDDING!

What about “Patriotism?”

Some “isms” are more equal then others.

Not me. I was working for a year at Best Buy when the young whippersnapper they hired for the same position, who I trained, started out at a higher pay than me!

Then they had the nerve to promote him to the position I wanted (and was qualified for) the minute I left to attend my father's funeral and conveniently kept that information from me for two weeks. I thought he had quit and my managers said nothing.

The minute I found that out, they started playing games with my hours. I will never work for that company again.

They were the Red Diaper Babies’ kids. They were infected from an early age.

Wow, I love it. That sounds like what I was posting yesterday - on how to wind up lefties up here in Canada. I do all that, they start screaming, and when they’ve completely lost it, I then praise the United States. By that point, they are spurting pea-soup from their mouths.
