Feminism's Fight Against Nature

For all you young women out there who are conflicted with the “stay home or go back to work” dilemma after having children, I highly recommend a book called The Flipside of Feminism; What Conservative Women Know—and Men Can’t Say by Suzanne Venker and Phyllis Schlafly.  I do caution you to read it with an open mind, though, because it goes against everything feminists have been telling us--or I should say drilling into us--for the last few decades.  And even if you don’t consider yourself a feminist, their ideas have infiltrated all our lives.

A recent report by the National Bureau of Economic Research says “As women have gained more freedom, more education, and more power, they have become less happy.”  Why is that?  Is it because women try to have it all, a career and children, and find that while they can do both, they can’t do both well, at least not at the same time.  So maybe putting a career on hold for a few years until the children are in school isn’t such a bad idea--or better yet, for those who can, work from home.

I am certainly not saying that we should go back to the world of the 50’s (not a chance); however, I think it’s time for feminists to stop screaming inequality.  And I also think it’s time for society (led by feminists) to stop pressuring women to go back to work after having children.  If a family can manage it financially, then who better to be the care giver?

Radical feminists hate this book, of course, and they do not want you to read it.  They want women to think they are still oppressed.  There is a quote about feminists being a disagreeable bunch, and that “It’s impossible not to be bitter when you’re banging your head against the wall trying to keep the sun from rising.”  That is what radical feminists are doing in their quest for trying to make women think they are exactly like men.  They are not.

Feminism is a fight against nature.
