A Few Conclusions on Feminism

Sep 26, 2008 11:44

Okay, so I need to start at the beginning of the Feminism adventure...basically Political Science classes.

While I unfortunately don't remember very many specific feminist points, I did realize that a great deal of feminism seemed to oppose the Conservative Christian scene, which I had spent my teenage years absorbed in and adopting. It left me a ( Read more... )

I know you probably received the comment that I deleted, but it was too convoluted, felt accusatory, and didn't properly convey what I wanted to say, so that's why I got rid of it, not because it isn’t true.

If you didn't get it, though, I'm not trying to beat you up or be rude, I just really want you to know the facts so you can be fully informed as you make decisions for the rest of your life.

But first: "God has given me talents to use and invest with, not to bury.Um, wow, you just insulted every mother out there who invests her time and gifts into her children, and her world, in ever new and ingenious ways. Having children doesn't mean you give up your talents, or lose or bury them, you just have to be more creative - it forces you to think beyond yourself.

Yep, twas me who quoted Paul and I haven't forgotten it. Perhaps I was relying too much on you getting my deleted comment by email? I did reiterate his statement in that one.

Since I didn't know you have PCOS, I just wanted you to have the facts. I didn't try and sugarcoat it, because I've read and heard so many accounts, both first and second hand, of women (mostly the career-driven, ME oriented kind) who suddenly woke up in their 40s and 50s and realized that Prince Charming isn't coming to sweep them off their feet. I'm not saying that is you, but I just wanted to give it to you straight; if you've dedicated your life to God, He will take care of you in His perfect way.

I care about you, Sarah and I don't want to see you harmed by the feminist lies so prevalent in today's society.

I suppose that didn't come out quite as well as I wanted it to, either. *le sigh*

I don't think you're blindly following the feminist model.

I just care about you and don't want to see you hurt.
