Old guard feminists are so fully stuck in the 1970s, it is almost laughable. That the world has changed and moved on is beyond the fading wits of the Gloria Steinems and Faye Wattletons and their sister hags. Their principal article of faith, that being pro-abortion rights is being pro-woman, has long lost its demographic validity: more American women are pro-life than pro-choice, women are substantially more pro-life than men, and the strongest support for abortion on demand comes from men between 18 and 35. Yet, these feminist dinosaurs cannot let it go…abortion on demand is their litmus test for everything and everyone. So much is their obsession with it that they will gladly label people like Bill Clinton and Teddy Kennedy “champions of women rights”. Tells you how much feminists are out of touch with real women when their heroes are misogynist men who have gotten away proudly with sexual harassment, workplace sexism, attempted rape, repeated cheating on their wives, and murder. Even now, as more and more neutrally culled data challenges feminism to its face, the middle aged feminists and their journalist buddies are calmly living in their cocoon world of three decades ago. A sample of the current facts that have passed the NOW dinosaurs (and their emasculated male Democrat and RINO allies) completely by:
- Fifty four percent of Americans, men and women, consider the Bible to be literally true.
- More women than the previous generation, most of them highly educated, are staying home to raise kids.
- Only half of the college going women, supposedly the most socially liberal of all women, support abortion on demand
- Close to a third of America’s women agree with the Southern Baptists that the husband is the head of the household
- A large majority of American women do not consider themselves to be victims of gender oppression
- Women are far more likely to go to church than men; the churches they go to in ever increasing numbers are the evangelical, charismatic, fundamentalist, and conservative Catholic congregations, not the anything goes mainline Protestant ones.
- A majority of America’s women think that the most important job for a woman is to be a good mother
- Many Democratic women are solidly pro-life. The strong sanctity of life laws enacted recently in South Dakota and Louisiana were spearheaded by liberal Democratic women.
KsReaganite does not necessarily agree with all the points raised above. But the question that begs an answer is this:
What Feminist Majority are these NOW cows representing? There isn't a feminist majority!
KsReaganite’s tentative answer is this: These NOW cows really represent that small sliver of Prozac prescribed well-to-do women who have been educated beyond their intelligence, have hyphenated names, sip martinis while the daycare raises the kids, cheat once in a while to feel liberated, and show up Sunday mornings at mainline churches that tell them whatever they want to hear to feel good about their sorry lives.
