Feminist bunk will cause society's collapse

Some years ago a British officer, Sir John Glubb, wrote a pamphlet on the rise
and fall of empires. A sure sign of an empire's decline and impending fall was,
he said, the rise of feminism.
I believe he is right. Of all the corrosive, nonsensical and damaging movements
that have come and gone in American society, none has caused more damage than
feminism. Thank God it now seems to be falling out of favor.
It goes without saying that no country can be strong without strong families,
and feminism directly attacked the very concept of families. It urged young
women to slut around. If men are promiscuous, why shouldn't you be? That alone
shows the degree of stupidity that is characteristic of the feminist movement.
That's why the feminists bear responsibility for the plight of so many single
mothers.
Rules that conform to nature produce positive results. Rules that conflict with
nature produce bad results. Through the centuries, Western civilization
developed some rules that took into account the natural differences between men
and women. The male is by nature promiscuous. Sex to the male is like eating a
good meal - an enjoyable experience but one you can get up and walk away from
without any thought. The woman, designed by nature to be a mother and
susceptible to becoming pregnant, invests much more emotion in it.
So society, to protect women, develops rules to discourage promiscuity by both
sexes. Even in my day, the rule was iron-tight. If you got a girl pregnant, you
married her. No debate. No excuses. If you abandoned her and the baby, you were
a worthless, lowdown dog. There were also social penalties against the girl who
slept around. These rules weren't 100 percent effective, but they definitely put
a restraint on the libido. There were far fewer teen pregnancies and single moms
than there are now.
But the feminists dismantled these rules. Women are just like men, they said.
You pick your own guys to sleep with and walk away when you're finished. Sex is
for recreation. Well, anybody but a stupid feminist would have realized that the
group that welcomed that message the most was the males. When females started
saying, "Let's have sex with no obligations," the male said, "You
betcha."
Of course, a necessary ingredient of feminist-promoted promiscuity is abortion
on demand, since no method of birth control is 100 percent effective. This has
literally led to the deaths of more innocents than the Holocaust. And for what
reason? Simply as an adjunct to recreational sex without responsibility.
Another stupid thing feminists did was attack motherhood and make it seem that
working was the better choice. Anybody with life experience knows that it is 100
times more difficult and requires more intelligence and more energy to be a good
wife and mother than to perform any corporate job. Corporations run themselves.
Families don't. Most of the jobs men do no sensible woman would want to do.
As for the kids - those who escape the garbage dump behind the abortion clinic -
they're forced to play against a stacked deck. Any child who spends his babyhood
and toddler years in day care and then comes home to an empty house in his older
years is going to suffer. Sometimes there's no help for it, but the feminist
movement has absolutely encouraged it.
You will notice that I've said nothing about equal pay for equal work or the
right to vote. Those are civil rights and have nothing to do with feminist
ideology. Feminism has given bad advice to women and encouraged the worst
behavior in men. Arnold Schwarzenegger is right: It encourages the development
of girly men. That's probably why empires fall.
The rule is simple: Anything that encourages strong families is good; anything
that weakens or destroys families is bad. And let's cut the bunk about families
being any grouping you want to call a family. A family is a man and woman and
their children. The hysterical harpies of feminism who tolerate chauvinist
rogues like Bill Clinton while getting hysterical over any perceived threat to
their beloved abortion industry should be relegated to the far-out fringes of
the fruit-loop dump.
