Do You Pity the Girl at Home? Feminism Lies Again.

Do You Pity the Girl at Home? Feminism Lies Again. 

Good article.

Why oh why is it acceptable to build a huge debt in college to take care of other people's children but not to stay home ministering to you own family, caring for your own children or siblings? Just not right.

I have lately heard a renewing of the rhetoric that feminism is about women being paid the same as men, or it is all about women having choices.

If you actually pay attention to the media messages we are always sent, this is simply not true.

Anything having to do with traditional womanhood is disparaged and degraded (birthing babies, caring for your own little ones, caring for your own home, caring for your own husband.) Feminist leaders have even stated IN THEIR OWN BOOKS that stay-at-home mommy-ship should be made illegal, this option, this choice, should be outlawed! because too many women will always choose to be home.

If it makes money, however, the exact same skills are praised, even if it means less money for the family because you are paying someone else to do the exact same thing for your own family.

Some common misconceptions:

• Stay at Home Moms are lazy A woman who is doing everything you pay your daycare worker, restaurant owner, maid, school teacher, and TV dinner manufacturer to do is not lazy.
• SAHM cost the family money Actually, they often save the family far more than they could ever earn. What with childcare, taxes, commuting expenses, etc, you have to earn $3 for every $1 you want to spend. If you keep money from leaving the house you come way out ahead.
• Working women have it all Biggest bunch of, (uhhh, well, insert word I don't usually use)!!! NO ONE has it all! NO ONE!!! If you try to have a career, children, marriage, all at the same time something will suffer and likely it will be all of the above. There simply isn't the time in a day or the energy in a body to do it all or have it all. You have to choose.
• Men have always been better off than women Never understood this one. For 6000 years men have had to go out and slave by the "sweat of their brows" in order to feed the ones they love and please their wives enough to get what they want most (sex) and somehow this is better than the queen of the castle? Why in the world would any woman want this? 

Seriously, there is so much bias out there.

• If the news is bad and only involves men victims, the media will use the word "people." If the victims are all women, they use the word "women."
• If the bad guys are all men, they use the word "men." If the bad guys are all women they use the word "people" (or equivalent gender neutral term)
• If the good guys are men they use the word "people." If they are women they use the word "women."

This is deliberate brainwashing propaganda.

• Articles about working women NEVER talk about the many, many studies that show daycare to hurt kids. In fact, they seldom mentions the affects of mom's job on kids. The entire articles are always focused on how it affects mom.

And listen to the rhetoric:

• "We (women) need to support each other (women)!"
• "We (women) need to help each other (women)!"
• "We need to increase opportunities (for women)!"

More facts:

• Girls are more likely to graduate high school than boys.
• Girls are being admitted to college and getting degrees in higher percentages than boys.
• Women have lower unemployment rates than men.
• Women who never take any maternity leave in their lives (just like men) earn MORE than their male counterparts. (Seriously, compare apples to apples. You can't compare the salary of a woman who took three months or two years off to have a baby- twice- and then works part time for several years so she is home before the kids get out of school to the salary of a man who gets no time off for babies and works full time from college to retirement.)

No, feminism is NOT about "equal pay for equal work." It is about worshiping the career woman. 

It is also about socialism. Really listen to what feminists are trying to get. They are ALL the goals of socialists. "Feminism" is nothing more than Socialism with a woman-worshipping veneer.
