As a woman, I have juggled a career and homemaking and the end result has been that my home and family has suffered and been at the losing end. I do not think it outrageous or degrading to be a homemaker, and as soon as I am able, I am going to leave my career and return home, so as to give my family the 100% that currently goes to an employer that cares nothing about me or my family. I celebrate traditional values!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-77473026332692048992014-03-07T16:25:42.153-08:002014-03-07T16:25:42.153-08:00I think the point is that some women now have the ...I think the point is that some women now have the choice to be homemakers or to work or to do both. Women can take care of the home when their children are young and go to work later. Women didn't have so much freedom to choose before feminism. Men now have those choices too. Feminism wasn't amovement by a few women, it was a movement of all of society. Of course every sociological change has its good and bad aspects. Men are much less likely now to want to marry a woman and support her while she stays home and has babies. That's not what men want or expect now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-6672454845102851102011-11-29T06:13:23.158-08:002011-11-29T06:13:23.158-08:00If one lives long enough one begins to see basic t...If one lives long enough one begins to see basic tenets that always happen. Those who rebel against the basics of any successful society will eventually be rebelled against. The time frame that this happens depends on the amount of power gained and the willingness to use it against their own children.<br />It happened with the USSR. It is happening with the 60's generation and those like JFK who tend to represent them. And it is happening to feminism.<br />At some point the young begin to recognize that nothing is every done by those in power for their benefit. The 60's generation, as a whole, has been committing generational theft and leaving the young with the debt. Feminist have so devalued and debased young women to the point of limiting their chances for a happy and full life. As feminist do damage to men, especially young men, they directly affect the young women who will deal with these men. <br />At what point does a degree lose its ability to be valuable? It should not surprise that academe and feminism are heading towards bankruptcy. <br />No matter how much those who try to justify their deceiving of the young eventually many of the young will figure it out. It should surprise no one that both the 60's generation, the rise of the educrat s and feminism occurred at the same time. They are not called the "ME" generation for nothing. They never full understood "Ask not what your country..........." In fact for many they reversed and basically asked "Whats in it for me. <br />The move away from personal responsibility to the collective. The emphasis on putting people into groups and not looking at them as individuals. When we lose our identity as individuals we set ourselves up for destruction. Eventually all groups will get to be condemned. The gradual condemnation of feminism is what now is occurring. It will be young women who will do the job.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962996070458991675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-78838729563827285312011-11-26T19:49:41.238-08:002011-11-26T19:49:41.238-08:00Anon--Arthur Koestler's 1950 novel The Age of ...Anon--Arthur Koestler's 1950 novel The Age of Longing has as its protagonist a woman who has never achieved either emotional or sexual satisfaction with American or European men but who falls hard for a committed Russian communist.

All done to satisfy dreams of physical and material instant gratification. It's tragic that so many people ignore the comprehensive corruption which afflicts our society.<br /><br />It's interesting to note how easily the supposedly principal instinct was manipulated and rejected. It's as if a large minority of people have a death wish. However, with "the return of the homemaker", maybe there is hope that a reasonable compromise can be reached.<br /><br />As for the rest, there were some (or many?) men who abused their relationship with women and in the process of compensating we overcorrected and went to another extreme. Typical.<br /><br />In any case, maybe this odd little specie on this odd little planet does possess an intrinsic dignity and value and is worth preserving.<br /><br />Viva la revolucion! Nothing less than the viability of humanity is at stake this time.n.nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252447117532342957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-53844152257986688812011-11-26T15:16:26.766-08:002011-11-26T15:16:26.766-08:00Ideology.
