until I threw away all that feminist crap I’d been burdened with growing up in the 1970s. I somehow believed I wasn’t a person unless I had a powerful career, and I put that first in my life – before my husband, before my kids… I divorced… only due to divine intervention, one day I woke up and realized the lie I had been living… I was able to remarry my husband, celebrate my children… I’m still working (good gracious, my hubbie is a school teacher – I have to work!) but it’s not what defines me. I have never been happier. Damn the feminist movement for stealing fully 41 years of my life!

and how about those pajama-gram ads?

exploitation times 10!

My mother is a NOW feminist and burned her bra in a protest in 1972. Because of the bold steps she took in those days, I went to college at a school that never admitted women, I’m now making as much money as a man…doing the same job…and have all opportunities afforded to me that men do. I thought that THAT’s what the women’s movement was all about. But, I’m a Christian, married, girly, I’m very feminine, and I belive in chivalry. And they would not consider me one of them. I respect and believe everything they were for in the 70…but that’s not what they are about now. Isn’t that odd?

Since you mentioned one of the kardashian family members……… NASCAR had Kim Kardashian as a co-Grand Marshall today at the Vegas race.

Her face and branded perfume were the primary sponsor of the 36 car (driven by Mike Bliss) for the race – a one-off sponsorship.

Before the race, she was standing right next to Junior Johnson – the other co-Grand Marshall as he gave the command to fire up engines at the start.

I’m positive she was supposed to join in with him, but as God is my witness, I don’t think she knew the words (Gentlemen, start your engines!)…. It also looked like Junior Johnson wasn’t having any part of her being there.

She also looked really confused standing around ‘amongst the masses’ before the race in the infield and the interviews done with here were embarrassing to say the least.

By the way…… I’m very serious here……. That was (I think) only the third or fourth time I ever saw her. I don’t do ‘Hollywood’ and I still don’t know what’s the big deal about her other than her dad helped keep OJ out of jail for a double murder.

OK Art, I know you’re there reading this…….. better to have her and her smelly flower water on the car than to have a blank hood, deck and quarters…….. Yeah, I know……… The 36 team owner needs operating dollars or they’re start-’n-park at best.

Too bad he wrecked…… I like Mike Bliss and he deserves a solid ride.

I wish that I could recommend this. Its too bad that feminists are trying to force young ladies to turn out just as bad as they are – and judging from the university campuses I’ve been on, they definitely are making some progress.

It is great to see women who are ladies, wives, and mothers, among other things, and are proud to be so.

Let me track back to this quote:

Good to research your options, bad to fall for anti-choice claims of “post-abortion syndrome.”

So, it’s “good” to do the research your “options”, but only if it doesn’t actually effect your decision. Suddenly, I begin to understand the support of Global Warming “science”.

I assume the scare quotes are intended to demonstrate that post-abortion syndrome is a propaganda device and not something real (like, say, Global Warming). Well, my first wife suffered that mythical syndrome from an abortion she had before we started dating. For years, she would wake up crying in the middle of the night and I’d hold her until she fell back to sleep. Seemed real enough to me at the time.

Ironically, we split up in no small part over her strident feminism (coupled with my refusal to become part of what Limbaugh now calls the Urban Castrati).

I particularly appreciated this:

“Why would anyone respect you as a human being, if you don’t respect yourself?”

And yet we have known for centuries, nay, millenia, that there is depression after a miscarriage.

Why IS that?

…and an excellent comment by Praying.

It’s really the primal sin in a different package: the temptation to acts as though you were the Creator, believing yourself entitled to control every aspect of your life, setting you own rules, and viewing others as means to your ends.

But we’re not the center around which the universe revolves. Reality provides a sharp corrective to such fatal delusion – if not in this world, the next world will bring a rude awakening…

I agree that PAS exists, but in my opinion, it’s not a good example to use in defense of a position. I mean, post-traumatic stress disorder exists too, but we don’t argue against engaging in conflicts. The resulting argument pits privacy against country, and that’s an argument that no one ever wins.

Otherwise, fantastic article. I’ll sleep better when Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, the Kardashians, et al. are off the air. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I cannot comment very well because those shows don’t appeal to me at all. I cannot imagine a man worth having that would appreciate such women.

Like the mutilation of artistic beauty by the shock artists, sexuality has become coarse and ugly also. What once shocked, now numbs us.

As a professional counselor, I can defintely say that post abortion syndrome exists. In addition, women who have had abortions also have a much higher chance of contracting breast cancer. You don’t hear that from the moonbats either.

And followed to its’ logical conclusion, not only does leftist social thought turn American womanhood into a gang of sluts (a la reality TV), it turns our men into effeminate, ultra-sensitive metrosexuals (urban castrati). A pretty sad state of affairs…

And reality shows like the Kardashians show how degraded our society has become when we elevate crude, classless and women like these to the forefront. These are not real women, in my view, and if I were single now, women like the Kardashians would not be worth my time. As a happily married man of nearly 24 years, I thank God eveyday for the gift that my wife is to me and my family.

One need look no further than the ‘flagship’ publication of the “Feminist Movement”, Cosmopolitan, to see the lie of the radical feminists.

They bleat continually about women being respected for their minds and not their bodies and not as sex objects, and then proceed to publish a magazine in which 80 to 90% of the articles are about: How to look more physically appealing to a man…how to rock a man’s world in bed…and how to be a sex object on the beach so you can get the hunk of your dreams.

And *we’re* mysogenistic sexists.

Sigh!
