Dangers to civilised society posed by feminism

"It is tempting to think that feminism in its latest version will collide with human nature once too often and then just go away. A collective cry of "enough" will arise and,magically, girls will no longer be made to feel foolish about wanting children, men will no longer have to worry about "offending" their dates, and freedom and rationality will return to the occupational workplace. This hope might seem to be bolstered by the failure of egalitarian zealotry in Sweden, Israel and Russia to alter the basic structure of society.
Unfortunately, such hope is undermined by the extent to which feminist ideology has already won the day in the United States.
No teacher or public speaker dares use "he". Critics must apologise before praising books, movies, or ideas that deviate from the party line.
Feminist doctrine now shapes to an unprecedented degree the rights and duties that govern institutional and social life. Once in place, hiring quotas, textbook censorship, court jurisdiction over private association, and all the other travesties of liberalism to which people have become numb, are likely to stay in place long after they will have clearly have seen to have failed to achieve the unachievable. (based on Prof Michael Levin,- The Feminist Mystique, 1979. page 12)

* Affirmative action is by no means equality of opportunity and is in fact inconsistent with it.(Michael Levin)

* For every man passed over in favour of a woman, another woman is disadvantaged, namely the wife of the man passed over. (Michael Levin)

Importance of maternal role

"...Sexual roles - mother and father, husband and wife - are not just arbitrary categories into which people are squeezed; they are broad patterns and principles of behaviour which define the optimum ways in which men and women can relate together, enjoy intimacy, and provide a context in which children can grow up healthy and strong.
The maternal role is more than just one component in this pattern of complementary roles. It is the crucial pivot - the foundation - upon which both family and society revolve. How women fill that role determines the potential happiness and fulfilment of all of us."
(Prof Peter W Blitchington, "Sex Roles and the Christian Family", Tyndale, Wheaton, Illinois, USA, 1980, page 95).

Feminism has it all wrong

"Finding roles for women isn't the problem. Finding one for men is." Anthropologist Margaret Mead.

Conspiracy against men

"Everywhere throughout society where is a conspiracy against the manhood of each of its members." Ralph Waldo Emerson, (1803 -1882).

We are born either male or female

"The quality of maleness and femaleness is intimately woven into the overall fabric of personality. Human beings are not biologically bisexual....... The human spirit is greatly impaired when childhood development does not lead to fully developed masculinity or femininity.
Fully masculine men and feminine women are by definition mature, and that term implies the ability to live out one's abilities. These include the capacity to mate, live in harmony with a member of the opposite sex, and carry out the responsibilities of parenthood.
Mature people are competent and masterful; not only can they make families but they can take of hold of life generally and advance it, and in particular they can replace themselves with healthy children who become healthy men and women.....The fate of mankind depends on the durability of the heterosexual relationship, and the stability and integrity of family life".
(Psychiatrist and Psychoanalyst Harold Voth, article "How much longer can the family survive?", in Mothers on the March newsletter, vol 1 # 2, July 1979, page 2. Voth is author of The Castrated Family.)

Fight for traditional roles

"When laws are passed which prevent individuals having a sufficient freedom to find their best fit in the environment, we are in serious trouble. Our way of life is based on individuality, personal freedom, and the freedom to find expression of one's abilities. Personal abilities are related to sex identity; there are fundamental differences between men and women. When the process of selectivity between the individual and society is seriously interfered with by law, an eventual decline is the result, simply because people will be forced to fill positions which would be better filled by others." - Harold M Voth, M.D., Senior Psychiatrist and Psychoanalyst at the Menninger Foundation, Topeka, Kansas; Rear Admiral Naval Reserve, US Army 1979.

"We must fight back against the social movements which are destructive to our way of life. We must preserve the vitality of our people and provide these vital and vigorous people a context, that is, a society in which it is possible to find the freedom to express their individuality.
This means, above all, preventing the passage of laws which ignore the differences between people, in particular the difference between a male and a female, and which undermine the security and stability of the family and the nation. Strong pioneer families created this country; strong families and strong leaders will save it." - Harold M Voth, M.D., Senior Psychiatrist and Psychoanalyst at the Menninger Foundation, Topeka, Kansas; Rear Admiral Naval Reserve, US Army 1979.

Men have shot themselves in the foot

"It is not often that a dominant class legislates its own downfall with quite as much thoroughness as the parliaments of the western world, filled as they are with men passing equal opportunities legislation in favour of women, have done". (David Thomas, "Not Guilty- In defence of the Modern Man", Weiden & Nicolson, London, 1993, page 63.)

Margaret Thatcher on equality

Once a woman is made man's equal, she becomes his superior.
Margaret Thatcher (b 1925) English prime minister

In praise of men

"How can a woman scruple entire subjection, how can she forbear to admire the worth and excellency of a superior sex, if she at all considers it? Have not all the great actions that have been performed in the world been done by men? Have not they founded empires and overturned them? Do not they make laws and continually repeal and amend them? Their vast minds lay kingdoms waste, no bounds or measures can be prescribed to their desires...They make worlds and ruin them, form systems of universal nature and dispute eternally about them; their pen gives worth to the most trifling controversy." Mary Astell 1666-1735 (English feminist writer)

Marriage

"The reason husbands and wives do not understand each other is because they belong to different sexes." Dorothy Dix.

"I think a bad husband is far worse than no husband." Margaret Cavandish, Duchess of Newcastle.

"It is very nice, having a man in love with you." Winifred Wills.

Humorous

"Give a man a free hand and he will let it run all over you." Mae West.

QUOTES by Alan Barron
(convenor and founder of The Memucan Institute)

History will judge this generation most severely for making some critical errors regarding the over zealous pursuit of equality for women. Most gender reforms - like affirmative action - were carried out on the basis of ideology rather than popular consensus or validated scientific research. The drive to equalise the roles of men and women is not a fight so much against alleged male bias as it is a retreat from reality and common sense, a futile war against nature and the Divine Will. The equality for women jihad is in reality waging a war against the primacy and stability of family life, due democratic processes, and ultimately against the concepts of masculinity and femininity themselves.

The battle of the sexes hasn't been a battle, it's been an absolute massacre.

The sexes are equal but different- not equal and the same.

Feminism is a destroyer. It destroys a woman's happiness, it destroys family life, and it destroys full employment and a future for our young people.

The so called women's movement is in fact the biggest opponent of femininity and all that it entails.

There is nothing wrong with feminism except that it's dogmatic assertions are all wrong.

Affirmative action is legislated discrimination against men, their dependent wives and families, and has no place in a democratic society which upholds family values.

Everything - absolutely everything - has been sacrificed on the high alter of equal rights for women. The sacrificial lambs have been the rights of children - both unborn and born, and the rights of men.

Feminism, or the "women's movement" should know all about sexism- seeing as they practise it so well.

Equal rights for women isn't the way forward- its the way back to the cave.

What people have to realise is that feminism is out to destroy family life and the complementary roles of men and women.

The "womens movement" came from marxist socialism, and that still remains the hidden agenda of feminism, - to reshape society into a classless, genderless society controlled by the welfare state.

A definition of a feminist? It is a person who is subjective and resentful, who submits totally to an ego-centric ideology.

Feminism takes itself seriously

"We must understand that we (feminists) are attempting is revolution, not a public relations movement." (Gloria Steinem).

Attacking the family

"Women's liberation, if it abolishes the patriarchal family, will abolish a necessary substructure of the authoritarian state, and once that withers away Marx will have come true willy-nilly, so leg's get on with it."- Germaine Greer (b. 1939) Australian feminist writer

"Patriarchy's chief institution is the family." Kate Millet American feminist.

"The patriarchal marriage is a disastrous institution for both sexes." - Carolyn Heilburn.

All men are rapists

"All men are rapists and that's all they are. They rape us with their eyes, their laws, their codes." - Marilyn French (b 1929) American feminist/author

Marx and revolution

"Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without the feminine upheaval. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex; the ugly ones included."- Karl Marx German social philosopher, revolutionary

Goals of feminism

"Feminism is the path to humanism, and it is humanism that is the goal". Gloria Steinem in 'The Humanist' Nov/Dec 1977.

Superiority of women

"Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought of as half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult." Charlotte Whitton, social worker and politician.
