You call it "wry and observational", I call it descriptive, and you're calling *me* a troll?? Get back under your bridge. Aesthete [L0L -- riiight] wrote:

But where the rubber meets the road they agitate for quotas that replace equality of opportunity with anti-male bigotry, discriminatory laws that crush freedom, laws and taxes to stop you from driving the car you want where you want to drive it, laws and taxes that punish personal behavior they dislike (such as smoking, or owning a gun), and in divorce laws that punish both ex-husbands and ex-wives with equal poverty, equal misery, and incalculable emotional damage to their children. Feminism is just another current of the Marxist class war intent on destroying society and replacing it with a fascist omnipotent state that shrives all the humanity from men and women and turns everyone into perfected, robotic post-human beings. It is foul beyond measuring and I hate it. You should too.

I am always disappointed when teenagers come to church in flip-flops, cargo shorts and wrinkled t-shirts. On the one hand, they are in CHURCH, not sleeping in. On the other hand, Jesus suffered mightily when crucified, and might have enjoyed the comfort of cargo shorts and a t-shirt instead of what he got. I think out of respect for his suffering, we can have our children wear scratchy clothes and dress shoes for 90 minutes each week. We went to Phantom of the Opera in Houston last weekend, at 2 pm.. I was afraid the adopted dress code would be Church Casual, but there were women in black strappy heels and glittery dresses. It certainly made the event, which set us back several hundred dollars, more special because of the pretty dresses on the well-coiffed women. I took it up a notch, too. No blue jeans for the Phantom!

Loved your comment MathMom. IMO, the women who commented in this diary are Conservative Women. There are variations in their style, but it is not because of weakness. Maybe you are more comfortable with tools, but you have not given up your femininity to be able to use them. I agree it isn't all about dresses or jeans, it is the individual wearing the clothes. I imagine men have found very appealing women in those jeans. For myself, I like to dress up, because we do so rarely now, and it makes me feel more comfortable and yes, I'll say attractive. That is what works for me. The common theme though; we have been enabled to be all we wish to be and are happy with the choices we have made. And we have the utmost RESPECT for those that may make other choices. That is how I see it. Loved your comment MathMom. IMO, the women who commented in this diary are Conservative Women.

I find it is the soft expression of feminism when extolled to young women makes them listen to you. They are hungry for information and they are desperate not to be "victims". They want to know that their value is in the person they already are without bending to some pre-conceived notion of what it mean to be a woman in America. I truly believe Conservatism is the RIGHT path for young women to follow and I personally will continue to help them to see it! for young women to listen to!
