OMFG did you really just say that about feminism.
Why, yes I did! :-)
Some people would call what I did "traditional family values". But anti-feminism is so much more incendiary. lol
Honestly. Let me guess your wife is one of these old school people who just wants to look after their children and husband.
Yes. But don't assume that she's uneducated. She has a university degree and worked in the medical field for a number of years until the cost of daycare became oppressive, at which point she did what she would rather do anyway: stay home with the kids. Believe it or not, she was happy with her decision, the kids were better off, and it didn't make her a idiot.
How many women out there would prefer to stay home with the kids if they could afford it? I'd argue quite a large percentage. Oh, and this whole women working thing is so western-world. There's women covering huge parts of the planet who would find it unthinkable to let someone else raise their children while they toiled away somewhere else for something so meaningless as money.
Who is brainwashed again.
You are. :-) But you're not alone. I'd say that most people have bought the propaganda with little or no effort on the part of those pushing it.
Women are equal to men they can do as they please.
Men and women are not the same, regardless of what your TV says. Men and women are physically and mentally different. One isn't better or worse than the other, they're just different. There's a reason why you don't put women on the front line in the military. A civilization thinking rationally wouldn't dream of doing that, which is why they're getting ready to do it in the US.
I do agree that they can do as they please though. Of course, once the women are brainwashed into giving up millennia of gender roles common to the entire human race, then they'll do what someone else pleases while believing they're free, right?
Women having choices has nothing to do with the breakdown in families.
Again, if you manipulate the women (and men) into distorting gender roles, then it does break down the family. Brainwash them enough and they'll happily destroy their own family and argue with you when you point out what's happening.
Men not pulling their weight is a more likely cause.
This is an entirely different problem that's also breaking down the family. If men get all the sex they want, and aren't taught to treat women with respect, and instead are encouraged to never leave adolescence, then you end up with the problems we have today.
I really don't know what to say in flabbergasted.
Really? Is that all it took? I'm just getting started! How about this one... I believe (and have encouraged my children to do so) that people should get married at around the age of 18. This way, it becomes possible, even easy to wait for sex until marriage. Of course, I also tell them that divorce isn't an option. They have to make it work.
People think I'm insane when I tell them this. After all, everyone knows that you should wait until you go to college and get an established career and a house and a mortgage and a mountain of debt and two cars... before you get married. Maybe 30 is a good age! After all, kids don't know anything and what if they get divorced?! An conveniently, 30 is too late to wait for sex, so we can just sleep around with whoever we want. Right? I mean, we're all free and liberated, open-minded people, right?
How's that thinking working out for the western world? The divorce rate is higher than ever. Infidelity, illegitimacy, sexually transmitted diseases are all on the rise. People on their second, third, or fourth spouse is commonplace. At least if the 18 year olds get divorced later, they've only been with with (hopefully) one person the whole time, and the children all come from one father.
If you do things God's way, you don't have any of these problems. Of course, the Christian community has all these problem also. But that comes from not doing things God's way.
