Leftists Are Waging A New War On Women

The definition of Feminism according to Webster’s dictionary is: belief in and advocacy of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes expressed especially through organized activity on behalf of women’s rights and interests. By that definition, I am indeed a feminist. But the movement itself has strayed far away from that definition.

Men and women are different. There are many folks, including many feminists, who try to tell us there is no difference and they are completely interchangeable. Don’t believe any of it. It’s just not so. 

Remember the book Men are from Mars. Women are from Venus? It’s an oldie but a goodie and it talked about the differences between the two. Mars and Venus are quite a ways apart. 

God doesn’t make mistakes and he made men and women uniquely different. We see things differently and express ourselves differently.

There is a big desire in the world to blame everything that is unequal between men and women on gender inequality or discrimination. It could be that men and women want different things.

While women are becoming more educated and more prevalent in the workplace. We make different choices. Therefore, the outcomes are not always equal. It may have nothing to do with discrimination. 

A recent study focused on women in private company boardrooms. Only 7% of seats on boards were held by women. Sixty percent of the companies had no women on their boards. 

Over half of the graduates, over the last few decades, with masters in business, law degrees and medical degrees have been women. These women, according to feminist ideology, should now be at the top. They attribute this lack of women at the top to the “glass ceiling.”

Women who had left a successful career, gave very different answers. Some reasons given were, “the work days kept getting longer and longer” and “I’m no longer willing to work that hard.” They also said balancing the needs of their family was more important. No matter how we try to twist it, women want different things. 

Survey after survey shows that working women say that they would prefer to spend more time with their family. That’s a real problem for the feminist agenda. 

Thirty percent of married mothers with children at home are not employed. Of those who do work, at least half work part time or far less than their husbands.

We hear repeatedly how women make $.78 for each $1.00 that men make. It’s not usually told that of those men and women with the same degree of education and time in positions, the pay is the same. Sometimes women make slightly more. 

The pay disparity is because women choose less challenging and less risky occupations. They also prefer flexibility to higher pay. Women also choose to leave the workforce to have children and raise a family. Feminists really don’t want to hear that.

A feminist icon of the 1970s, Simone de Beauvoir, said, “No woman should be authorized to stay home to raise her children. Women should not have that choice, because if there is such a choice, too many women will make that one.”

Can you believe this idiocy? So women should become slaves to the corporate structure because feminists say so. Feminists are always screaming about
Women’s right to choose, but this insinuates that women are too stupid to make their own choices when it comes to being employed or staying home. 

Famous feminist, Betty Friedan, wrote a book in 1963, The Feminine Mystique. She described the life of an affluent suburban housewife as “a comfortable concentration camp.” 

The Covid pandemic has illustrated how different women are from men as well. We have the lowest labor participation rate for women than we have had in three decades. Women have left the workforce in droves to stay home and educate and care for their children. 

We should celebrate whatever choices women make if it leads to happiness. That’s how we roll.

Remember it’s not nice to fool Mother Nature. It’s impossible anyway.
