PING!
PING!
Don’t read the “feminist critique” shown above unless you have a strong stomach. She’s right of course. This whole misogynistic article has as it’s sole purpose the enslavement of middle class women. Right. The comments afterword are equally obnoxious.
Definitely the culture has to change — family friendly, values-driven. What worries me is the lack of maturity and direction among the young. They will want to avoid ALL responsibility — finding a career, caring for parents, etc. Even if they had children, they would not know how to be effective role models. I predict a lot of early deaths — suicides, self-destruction (i.e. drugs, AIDS, etc.). The current generation will not age gracefully.
One for your list?
God I’m glad I raised three boys, even though the cards are stacked against them today’s society. The are perfectly capable of fending for themselves, thanks to an education in how to get by without outside help.
but getting back to car seats.....the govt has made having a child an emotionally draining, worrisome job, not to even mention the money needed to do all the "right" things.....
member when we would all ride in a station wagon to go to the drive in movies....not a seat belt among us..kids piled up in the back....raising kids was easier and a lot more fun for we kids in the good ol days...
One of my friends recently bought a new car. The main factor in her choice - the Kia version of a Cube ... a Soul? - was that it could fit three child seats in the back. She measured it to make sure!
He noted that modern women had developed a split personality. They were told they should aspire to hard work like men. Climb the corporate ladder like men. They could also have a husband (or not) and this “super job” would allow them to pursue a career while a nanny raised junior.
Men were told by these women that they weren't necessary, except as sperm donors. They didn't needed to marry the mother of their kids, but mom was able through the courts to make these men the woman's wage slave for 18 years (or through college) for HER kids. The woman had the final say whether she would birth his kids, and if the couple separated, he'd be paying child support and she'd decide whether he could see the kids or not. Under these conditions, men never outgrow adolescence and act like 18 when they are 65.
If the birth rate is shrinking, one of the first places to look is the feminist's war on men and boys. The feminist's have so stacked the deck against men that more and more men don't consider a traditional family as a serious option any more. Instead the act like a bunch of frat boys and are unbearably shallow when it comes to relationships.
The question that ought to be loudly asked of modern women: WHAT DO YOU WANT? The current war on men and boys is not working and it is producing all sorts of unintended consequences (like the rise of the sexually confused LBGT community, pedophiles, and animal husbandry lovers). What feminism has wrought has been extremely corrosive and destructive for society as a whole.
