From Princess to Prostitute
How feminism has degraded women to their lowest conceivable state
The estimable John C. Wright explains to women that the escape from the trap of traditional morality offered to them by feminism was not the freedom they believed it to be, but a trap far more hellish than they ever imagined.
Feminists, you were told that the traditional morality was a trap, meant to force you into being chaste and doing housework, and that by working outside the home, you would be free. The freedom you sought by rejecting traditional morality, as is the way of such things, is also a trap: so while you are free to work outside the home, move in with a live-in lover, who no doubt, if he is a gentleman, is willing to spank you until you scream, you are still probably going to end up doing the housework anyway, because he is not going to clean, and he is not going to put a ring on your finger, and your work outside the house gives you the freedom to loan your live-in boyfriend money, because he no longer acts the part of a man and supports his wife.
And, if statistics are any guide, he is likely to beat your children that you had from a previous alliance, and, to keep you away from other men like himself, to beat you, too.
This era promised you freedom, but it disarmed you. Look around you. Look at the culture that normalizes porn and lauds abortion as a sacred right. This culture hates virginity, it hates motherhood, it hates marriage, and it is not that friendly to old ladies.
It hates everything about you, ladies, everything feminine, everything maternal. The only time the modern culture praises femininity is when it sees feminine traits in menfolk. The only form of the feminine principle this culture admires is the adulteress.
Oh, to be sure, there are men who do not fit this description, but they are men who disobey rather than obey the common wisdom and the common attitude spread by our day and age.
This era is not friendly to you, my ladies. If you want to avoid that same pagan world view and mind set that created the cult of temple prostitution, you must seek out the Church that ended paganism.
The modern woman who chooses the college-career path is actually lower on the historical scale than the temple prostitutes of yore, lower even than the average house slave, because even the prostitute or the slave had someone who was responsible for caring for her, protecting her, and providing for her well-being.
The strong independent woman of feminist fantasies is just an ersatz man, no more credible in her posturing pretenses than the balding man in a dress who claims, against all science, nature, and observation, to be a woman.
Feminism is not the liberation of women. To the contrary, it is the enslavement of a woman to her own worst and most self-destructive urges and short-sighted desires. It is no more healthy for the female psyche than smoking methamphetamine is for the female body.
I had a short stint in the academic world as a PhD student, then abandoned it for motherhood and homemaking. Both worlds come with tradeoffs; in academia I was treated well and felt respected - but I didn't like being there and missed my son all the time which made me quite useless as a student. Now, I like getting out of bed every day and I don't feel the guilt of not seeing my children because I get to spend all my time with them. And my relationship with my husband is better than it has ever been. But I've never felt so looked down upon by society at large. I regularly have to remind myself that what I am doing now IS more valuable even though nobody except my husband tells me so. Lucky for me he never stops reminding me of that. This world that we're living in has its priorities upside down.
We will bury feminism when we start in the Church.
I went to a seminary 25 years ago. It was a conservative seminary in a conservative denomination.
We were taught in our entry level ministry class, for example, that a man should abandon his career for a few years and take care of the kids so his wife could take a few years to build her career. Along with a host of other feminist crap.
The result is that we see this junk pushed in our churches. Frankly, I was influenced by it and it caused all sorts of problems in the beginning of my marriage, because, of course, women do not actually want equality. They want a strong man to lead them. I wonder how many divorces their evil teachings caused.
Now we are finding out that a ton of this has been financed by Soros.
The church must become as opposed and vehement towards feminism as it is towards abortion.
Many talk about repealing the right to vote for women, but it'll start with the church actually teaching biblical teachings about men and women and living it out, instead of falling in line with, and teaching, Soros's agenda.
Then, much like we have with abortion, we'll obtain a victory in this area in politics and public policy.
