Neo-Feminists Worst Nightmare

I grew up a typical liberal tree hugging feminist girl. You know, the hardcore prochoice type. I swore I'd never get married, have babies, be a stay at home mom, or drive a mini-van. That would mean a man was keeping me down! I would never allow that. Men, especially those God awful white males, have been keeping us women down for far too long.

Then I grew up and realized the truth. Not only that I changed. I'm prolife, married, mother of 2, drive a mini-van and I stay at home despite having a BA. How dare I! I gave into the MAN. I should be ashamed. My husband must have brainwashed me somehow. I'm his slave.

I'm still a feminist. A true feminist. I consider those belonging to NOW and other far left women's rights organizations to be neo-feminists. They want women to believe that they're STILL being oppressed by the MAN. (By the way, who the hell is this MAN they keep talking about?) They want us to shun everything we should be proud of.

I used to think pregnancy was a curse, a punishment from God for Eve's sin in the Garden. Boy was I wrong. We can do whatever a man can do, but we have them upped by 1. We get to make LIFE. Without us humans wouldn't be able to survive. Yes, sperm from males are needed, but an absolute MUST is the woman's uterus. Without the uterus a life cannot grow. Being pregnant made me realize that pregnancy should be considered a gift, a blessing. Yes it is unpleasant most of the time (my pregnancy with my first was absolutely horrible from beginning to end), but the outcome is completely worth it. During both pregnancies my husband told me many times he was jealous because I was able to feel and bond with the girls 24/7. Nothing, absolutely NOTHING, can top feeling a baby move inside you. Life begins at conception. The very first ultrasound of Janet at 6 weeks changed my view on abortion. She was barely the size of a grain of rice yet her heartbeat was so strong. I saw and heard her fantastic heartbeat and I thought, "How can anyone deny that is a life? How can anyone deny that is a child?"

(Before I start this I realize that due to high cost of living some families are forced to have two working parents. I am extremely lucky and grateful I'm able to stay at home and if a family can have a stay at home parent they should.) During the pregnancy I was determined to work despite my husband having an incredibly well paying job. I wanted to keep my identity and to me my job let me do that. It wasn't until the end when I was visiting day cares I realized one of us should stay at home with our daughter. The obvious choice was me because Zac makes more money than me. In all honesty it doesn't have to be the mother to stay home. I really do think a parent should stay at home with the kid. The mother should be the one, though, because by nature we are the nurturers. I can hear the neo-feminists going off saying I've been drugged or forced to say that. Fact is you CANNOT deny science. There are biological differences between males and females. It is our biology to nurture. It is in our nature to comfort and love. We are wired for that. I knew it was important for my daughter to stay home with her. I'm the one teaching her right from wrong. I'm the one who is raising her. It's the hardest job in the world, but the most rewarding.

This will drive the neo-feminists crazy. Get this. My husband allowed me to CHOOSE what to do! I know, right? Isn't that CRAZY?!? I must be lying about that. Well, I hate to burst your bubble neo-feminists, but he did. He had NO PROBLEM when I told him I wanted to stay at work. Anytime I get stressed and claim I want to go back to work he supports me. My husband, the MAN, the awful white male, allows ME to decide what I want to do with my life. Crazy insane talk.

Thing is, how can any woman deny that being a mother and a stay at home mother is not what we're supposed to be doing? How can they argue that this is not what we're meant to be? It's the most important job in the world. We are continuing the human race and shaping our children. Why is it so outrageous that women become mothers and stay home? Because we're not make an impact on the world? We are! Being a mom and stay at home mother makes a HUGE impact on the world. I can make a much bigger impact and difference in the world being a mother and stay at home mother than I could being president or a teacher. I'm raising my children in the best possible way. I'm teaching them manners, right from wrong, and anything educational.

It's nature. It's science. You cannot fight or deny either. Try all you want, but it won't work. Females have always had the upper hand against males. We just never realize it because the neo-feminists want to make evil the ONE thing that makes us females special: Pregnancy.

I am a true feminist. A true feminist embraces and loves what makes us female and that is the ability to form and grow life. Pregnancy is not a curse or punishment. Pregnancy is quite possibly the best thing in the world and only females are allowed to experience it.

You're wrong neo-feminists. It's not the MAN that is keeping females down. It's YOU. As long as you fight or deny your biology and nature you're keeping females from reaching their potential.

  1. Mary,
    Great post! Obviously, as a man, I can not relate to being pregnant; but, nonetheless, I can relate with you Libertarian views, and your well-reasoned, acknowledgment, that, there is a natural order in the world! As a Christian, I believe that God is the one who controls this order; but, even atheist Libertarians realize, these is a natural order in the world; and, more times then not, when the Government tries to alter something, they tend to make it much worse. Sadly, there will always be these people, like the neo-feminists, who would rather pretend to be a victim, then to just play the cards as they are, and count their blessings! I have no doubt, as well, that a movement from the left, has long been trying to under-mind the family and Christian values in this country; and, sadly, the neo-feminists bough right into it! I am really happy for you and your family! :)

  3. So, no, you're not actually a feminist. Got it.
