Feminist fought the WRONG fight!!!

     It amazes me in todays world that there are still feminist who really think that the fight they took on for equality was the fight they should have fought.  When I was younger, I was blinded into thinking that women should be able to have it all, Job, Family, Children and lots of money.  Women in the sixties fought and burned their bras in order for the freedom of choice, the freedom to choose their own career path and to make it amoungst the men in a working world. 

     I Truly believe the women of the 60's

had good intentions with extremely bad results.  Women today DON'T have choices.  Most have to work one or more jobs to make ends meet, and to put food on the table for the children and family.  Most women DON'T have the choice to stay home and raise their children, which is why so many of our children are out of control.  Hillary Clinton once said "it takes a village to raise a child", well the village has a NO TRESSPASSING sign out front, and the parents aren't at home.

     I am very lucky so far, my husband works two jobs so that I can stay home with my son.  That is my career, to raise him to be a hardworking, trustworthy, good man.  Don't get me wrong I am all for the father staying home to raise the child as well but there should be one parent to guilde that child to become a healthy, happy and productive adult.  That is the fight that femisnist should have been fighting for.  RESPECT, the respect of being a parent who is raising a child which is THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB ON THIS PLANET.  You don't get paid for it, it is a selfless job that often doesn't merit raises or good reviews.  It is a job that leaves you tired and feeling unappreciated, but it's the MOST REWARDING job ever.

     I feel very sorry for the women who can't have the choice that I have in staying home to raise a man, I feel sorry for the women who choose to have children and then choose to cast those children aside for a career when their career should be at home raising their children.  Next time maybe the feminist of the world will take up the right fight, which is gaining the proper respect for taking on and conquering the most difficult job in the world.

    i realize that I will take heat for this post, but like I said most women don't have a choice, that choice was taken away from them and now they have NO choice and have to provide for their families.

Well stated Barney . I have to admit I loved those bra abandonment years . I think the taxation of the American family has lead to most of the problems we see comming out these days . Most families can't afford to have a stay at home parent for proper guidance . If it werent for being over taxed , most families could afford to exist on a single income .

I was a sixties stay at home Mom with 5 kids born from 1960 till 1968 and one in 72. Hell it was cheaper to stay at home! When the last one reach 5 it was time to go to work! My husband said I was like the woman in the commercial, bringing the bacon home and frying it up in the pan. I can't repeat what I told him. lol

It is so very true, and so very sad most of these girls are having babies to try and keep a man, some women go after their career and then have childre by someone esle's husband, some try the career and have a baby and get a loser for a man, some get the babies live off welfare buying weed and beer etc.. and give their coins to the character that they think is a man leaving the kids hungry, some have the babies to get the check and hang out in the beauty parlors and gossip while their kids are dirty and hungry,AND THEN their are the blessed ones that have a wonderful stay at home husband/or wife and children, and some get the best of both worlds, career, husband/wife, children. One day things will be the way they should be if we instill morals in the future of the next generation.

I think it's sad that the focus is not on raising the children. I have many friends who choose to work because they have the choice to do so. I don't judge them at all but my husband and I struggle everyday because I don't have an income and we feel it's more important for one of us to be home with my son. I don't need to go to the hair salon, get a mani/pedi, or spend my money on designer clothes, I am trying to raise a good man, that will treat his wife and children and others around him with respect. He will be taught hard work so he can be a productive human being and that if he makes mistakes that he needs to learn from it and not repeat it. I think that is much more important then driving around in a BMW and sipping starbucks while on the phone with my hairdresser. PS. good for you Carol I commend your choice on staying home to raise your kids!

You don't understand Barney, this was the start of the Feminist movement. I was one of the woman that didn't support the movement. The only choice I had was to get married or join the Army, and since I was told, only BLEEP's enlisted in the Army, I choose Marriage. That's when my choices ended. And Shock, I had six kids, what category do you think I was end. Lol

I do agree with you Barney, about staying at home and raising your own children. Sad to say a lot of women don't have that choice now, even with a husband. Lucky You!

LOL I love that Shock, believe me my husband is working 2 jobs because so I can stay home to raise my son. That is a decison that we both made when we got married 11 years ago. One of us would stay home and raise our child, and when he gets older we will sit at the dinner table like we did when we were his age for family time. God bless you Carole and your 6 children, I'm sure you raised them right.

I hate to say this but the big banker families Rockefeller and Rothschild backed this movement.
Granted women should be viewed as equals and it sounded great but the real reason this movement was funded by them was because 50% of the adult population wasn't being taxed when the women weren't at work.
This movement has help decimate the sanctity of the family and has wrought great profits for those that receive our tax dollars...the share holders of the privately owned Federal Reserve.
And THAT is the bottom line.

One more thing think about this the only way you can get any assistance in this country is if there is no man in the home...If you are still married and have fallen on hard times, best of luck but if the man is out of the picture then you get help, this system has been set up for the government ran systems such as schools and such to be looked upon by the child as the parent figure. Check out the book Deliberate Dumbing Down of America written by Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt, former Senior Policy adviser in the U.S. Department of Education. She speaks on this. It's one hell of a thick book but if you want to know why this movement was started and why our young are less educated every year this goes to the heart of it. Great read, yet frightening.

Thanks Spiritsoup, I will pick this one up.....It sounds like my kind of read...what I should do instead of burning my bra, is burn my book for my younger years by Susan Faludi called Backlash the undeclared war against American Women. It will be like a whole new movement!!!!!

Spiritsoup, Makes sense to me. I can tell you are well read. Things happen for a reason. Well they didn't brain wash me. My husband said I'll go to work, you stay home. When he got home, his bathe was warm, his kids were clean, and dinner was on the table. Oh, my hair was comb and I didn't have on a bath robe. Keep your values Barney, they will take you a long way.

Thank you Carole....I think it's not a question of the wife staying home, I just believe 1 parent should be home to raise the children....When we decided that we wanted a child it was always said that whatever we had to do one of us would be home with him if we could...This is the most important job in life and RESPECT should have been what women fought for instead of burning their bras and having sex with anyone on two legs.....Look at children today they are out of control and I hate to say that it's mostly MY generation that is screwing them up!!!!!
