Feminism; It's Liberties and Abuses TBC...

Going to copy and paste this from an email to a friend because I am too lazy to create it again! But I think it will show how I plan to use this blog for some venting and also some dissecting of feminist thought as I learn the workings of it.

"I tried to go to Franciscan but they don't offer an English Master's. I was pretty upset last night after I got the syllabus because we have to read stuff by Margaret Sanger, the major birth control activist and feminist. It is obviously a very liberal bunch of women and I just know it is going to be a cross for me. There is also a beautiful crucifix on the wall and I just look at it and wonder why I am in the class at all. Jon says I should stay so that I know the methods of the liberal pro-contraception , anti-family camp. I just think my heart is too weak to handle hearing the madness. It's all crazy stuff. I already tried to read "Women and Economics" and it's about how we are animals and trade sex for food or something along those dehumanizing lines. It's so illogical really. And the whole feminist movement has turned on itself and exploded, women are not held in higher esteem now that they are dehumanized and treated as sexual objects to be desired and recycled (sometimes literally in pornography, which some feminists defend as empowering women). Anyway I was emotional about it last night and wanted to drop the class more than anything but I think I am going to stay now and just do my best with it all."

So, if you want to know from an insider what kind of propaganda is being dispersed and what reasoning is being used to support it, check back on this blog every once in a while!

Hope you all have a more profitable semester and keep me in your prayers!!
