And Yet More Evidence of Perpetual Children

This gem struck my attention, courtesy of the girls at Pandagon. I mean, why wouldn't a title like "Why The Culture War Is Classist and Racist" not catch the attention of someone like me. But I cite this article only to point out that feminists, like other liberals, are perpetual children. Here is the quote that pretty much sums up the author of this post.

With 16 children, Michelle Duggar is the patriarchal ideal; she was rendered incapable of resisting or leaving many children ago (Mandatory caveat: We are officially to say that we believe Duggar when she swears she loves it.) if she wanted to, since she has just too much child-baggage to do anything for herself.

Children, real-life ones that are already born even, are luggage that the true independent woman can leave on the curb, hail a taxi, and ride off to wherever her heart desires. But poor Mrs. Duggar, oppressed by the patriarchy, has too much baggage to drop in order to live the feminist ideal.

The assertion that this woman is doing nothing for "herself" because she has children is a slap in the face of every mother that ever was, including the mother of this author.

In my experience, my wife, who stays home with our soon-to-be four children, has accomplished much more than this hyper-sensitive dateless wonder will ever attempt to accomplish. She is actively molding, shaping, affecting, and educating the lives of countless people for ages to come. She is instilling values, handed down from various influences in her life, teaching skills, and nurturing the personalities of our children, who will in turn, hopefully, do the same for their children and so on. And I am also participating in raising our children as an equal partner, acting as the head of our household, my wife acting as the guide of our household. Part of being a mature, responsible, adult member of society includes thinking and acting beyond yourself and your own gratification.

Our feminist friend, displaying her child-like attributes, is doing us a favor by "pitying" those who are mothers rather than following their example. For in that, she will cut herself from the gene pool, and my children will not have to contend with her offspring.
