Where Have The Feminists Gone?

Truth is indeed sometimes stranger than fiction. Who would have ever thought that the, so called, “women’s movement” would abandon their efforts to promote women?  Well, they certainly have.

There is a ‘war on women’ and these women’s rights organizations have suited up for battle and have begun firing at the very women they are supposed to defend. The large women’s rights organization, National Organization for Women, has lost all credibility as far as I am concerned. 

NOW was founded in 1966. Their goals were lofty and intended to promote women and to “level the playing field.” Somewhere along the way, they lost sight of their goals. 

I found it interesting to look through their founding documents. The original “Statement of Purpose” now has a disclaimer. “NOTICE: This is a historic document, which was adopted at NOW’s first National Conference in Washington, D.C. on October 29, 1966. The words are those of the 1960s, and do not reflect current language or NOW’s current priorities.”

The same feminists who fought so hard to have Title IX enacted are now doing all they can to destroy women in sports. Title IX was signed into law by Richard Nixon in 1972. It gives women athletes the right to equal opportunity in sports in educational institutions that receive federal funds, from elementary schools to colleges and universities.

Now women’s sports are under attack from the left which include NOW and many others. Those same feminists’ organizations who wanted to ‘level the playing field’ for women are now tilting the field upside down. Let us look at a few of the weird things happening that are harming women.

A woman was brutally beaten by a man pretending to be a woman in the Olympic Games.

Far left ESPN recently fired a female sportscaster for speaking out against men in women’s sports.

Wisconsin Governor Evers is pushing for a change in his state. A bill has been introduced to change the word “mother” to “inseminated person.” 

A male pole vaulter in Maine has won the girl’s state championship event. (He competed as a male last year and placed fifth.)

President Trump confronted the Governor of Maine re not following his executive order barring male from competing in women’s sports.

A state Representative in Maine has been censured after speaking out against males in women’s sports. She is not allowed to speak on the House floor or to vote. Surely this is not legal.

We could go on and on with examples, but you get the idea of the craziness regarding this issue.

Women athletes, led by swimmer Riley Gaines, has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA. Women are fighting back and if common sense prevails, they will come out victorious.

NOW, the so-called women’s rights group, has the audacity to oppose the lawsuit by the female athletes. They issued a statement saying that wanting women’s sports to be only for women is “white supremacist patriarchy at work.” Are the black women athletes “white supremacists?” These people are not only hypocrites, but they are also lunatics.

The transgender movement is trying to change long held views of society that really are unchangeable. Mothers will always be women. Girls cannot fairly compete against males. There truly are biological differences between male and female. God determined our gender and changing parts does not change your biological sex.

President Trump has signed an executive order banning transgender service members from serving in the military. Once again, that’s common sense. A defense official said they believe there are around 4,200 troops, diagnosed with gender dysphoria, who are currently serving. It is estimated that the taxpayers have spent $52 million on psychotherapy, hormone treatment, sex-change surgeries, and other treatments for transgender service members. (Note. My auto correct tried to change sex-change surgeries to gender-affirming procedures.)

The defense undersecretary for personnel, sent out the following memo, “The medical, surgical, and mental health constraints on individuals who have a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with, gender dysphoria are incompatible with the high mental and physical standards necessary for military service.” I say AMEN.

We must remember the goal of the military is to produce great war fighters. Their job is to kill people and break things to protect the American people. It should not be a social experiment for transgender ideologies.

The war against women and our military is a serious matter. The attacks are fast and furious and finally we are fighting back.
