I Am Against Feminism
“Killary Clinton represents, to me, the triumph of second wave feminism. If first wave feminism was about legal and political equality (a woman should be able to sign contracts, own land, vote), then second wave feminism was more about a Machiavellian quest for power merely for power’s sake, and the belief that in order to obtain power, women needed to become more like men, just like men. The symbol of second wave feminism in my mind is that relic of fashion: the shoulder pads.....Perhaps it was a naive notion to think that women were nobler, superior creatures, not prone as man is to original sin, somehow uniquely able to resist the temptation of having power over all of the kingdoms of the world.....Yet, I do believe that women are different than men. I believe that those differences are extremely important, especially at this time in history, and I find hope in the words of Pope Paul VI from one of his Discourses: 'Within Christianity, more than in any other religion, and since its very beginning, women have had a special dignity, of which the New Testament shows us many important aspects…it is evident that women are meant to form part of the living and working structure of Christianity in so prominent a manner that perhaps not all their potentialities have yet been made clear.' And it gives me hope that there are young women who haven’t fallen prey to our government’s pervasive and persistent propaganda, who wish to admire and emulate women who represent something more, something other than the 'equal' ability to wield U.S. state power and participate in its violence.” [b]~ Ellen Finnegan[/b] [c=#BF0000]http://bit.ly/1TVqKKE[/c]
[b]P.S.[/b] -- I admire, and am thankful for, the "first wave feminists". However, significantly - they did not feel the need to adopt a left-wing label and identify themselves as "feminists". They did not see themselves as part of the ideological nightmare that has been rupturing the West ever since the bloodbath of the French Revolution. They did not see the killing of unborn children as a sacrament of liberation -- in fact they uniformly condemned the hideous practice.
