As women will start giving up the 'perks' of feminism and just return to being stay-at-home mothers again with their husbands telling them how to vote.<BR/><BR/>The whole college and career path is going to be tossed out the window as soon as more women figure out that it has to potential to cost them their children.<BR/><BR/>So this is putting the death knell to the whole feminist movement...as women existed for centuries without these educational/economic rights but were always permitted to raise their own kids...<BR/><BR/>Feminists don't seem to understand that these new 'rights' are not a good enough substitute for our children.NYMOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05762350054432716749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740475.post-1144677486428841312006-04-10T09:58:00.000-04:002006-04-10T09:58:00.000-04:00Bingo.Over at familyscholar.org, they are arguing ...Bingo.<BR/><BR/>Over at familyscholar.org, they are arguing this case. The wingnuts are furious that some "queer girl" has the same rights as the FATHER, who of course should always have total control over his woman and kids. The liberals are busy arguing that the gay "parents" (ex-lovers to actual mothers) should have the same rights as mothers.<BR/><BR/>Goddess help us. <BR/><BR/>Just as soon as women have just enough equality to survive on their own (not paid equally to a man, but enough to get by), they're busy destroying your ability to be a mother unless you are under direct male control. What's the point of nominal economic independence then? What good is it if you are trapped in a bad marriage or relationship, or unable to get out because you are effectively blackmailed (e.g. you will lose custody or be granted "joint" custody with an unrelenting control freak, which is basically no custody.)Or if you can only avoid harrassment if you never have children or never get involved in any relationship, male or female?<BR/><BR/>NYMOM often points, correctly, to historic example. Here's mine. And actually it's from NYC and NYS. Back during the days of slavery (and it wasn't eliminated in NYS till the 1820s), African Americans were not unskilled laborers like in the south. On the contrary, due to labor shortages, they were trained for many of the most advanced trade skills of the time, skills that would have brought relatively high wages had they been white and free. But they weren't. So all that training and skill building did nothing to help their autonomy and security. As soon as slavery was phased out, as soon as African Americans thought they might be able to cash in on their skills, they were driven out of the skilled trades, and in many cases, driven out of the state altogether. Actually, there was a higher percentage of African Americans in NYC during the American Revolution than there was for years afterwards. In fact, till nearly half way into the 20C.<BR/><BR/>Lesson? College and a good job will mean diddly if it means you will lose custody, or face continual custodial challenges. Your hardearned job will mean nothing if you are paying child support to a lazy man who is still privileged in the labor force on account of his gender. Women and mothers need to realize that if we lose authority over our own children (basically put in a situation that is little advanced over what slave women faced), no amount of training, education, or professional status will be worth anything. You'll still be poor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
