First of all, Let me just say...I am not a Feminist. I am a woman, a nurse, a mother, a wife, a daughter, and a sister.
I believe in the right of a woman to have an abortion. I do not agree with a lot of what goes on within the DSS building, but also do not agree with all that goes on in domestic homes.
I do think that if a person of the female persuasion works harder or is better at a job than her male peers, then she be compensated accordingly. BUT: I firmly believe this drive women have for being in the work place, which was pushed by our feminist counterparts in a former generation, has made it harder for women to stay at home with their children. I seriously believe if we had more mothers at home, we would have less children running the street and getting into trouble.
If we as mothers could focus less on the bills, less on our jobs, and more on the state of our families, then our nation would be better off. Where does the equality issue come in when we discuss the raising of the children. That is the equality that must be discussed, especially if society still demands women to support their families too.
I am still of the old mindset, that if I have to raise the children, do the housework, cook the meals, and write out the bills, then I should not also have to go to a full time job everyday. I also believe if it were not for the initial demands by women to make more money, our economy would not be in the toilet today.
Yes, I believe we have an inequality problem when it comes to sex crimes! That is a known fact. But we need to separate rape and murder of women from a discussion of inequality in the work place. They (in my opinion) are not one and the same. Rape and Murder are heinous crimes that have occurred in every nation, and in every generation. And speaking from experience, women and girls (while the majority are) are not the only people being raped, murdered and molested in our society.
When does rape, murder, and molestation stop in the world? How do we get rid of it? Do we kill all the men? Well, hell, that isn't an option. Do we pray? Well, has that worked? So what do we do? How, as a Feminist, would a woman stamp out these atrocities in our society, our world? You can't. There will still be perverts, rapists, murders, and molesters. We can not know what is in the mind of an individual until they perform these atrocious acts (and sometimes not even then). Our prisons are overflowing with rapists, murders, and molesters, but no one has discovered how to stop them. They just cycle right back out into society to do the same things over and over.
My son was molested and orally raped by a perpetrator several years ago. The guy admitted guilt and is serving 30 years in Prison. But more than likely he will be released and not rehabilitated by the time he gets out. So will he more than likely continue the behavior? Probably! And do you think the sexual predator registry will stop him? Probably not!
Who cares if I am not equal to my husband. I want him to take care of me and our children. I still have a life, and I enjoy it greatly!
Have I been raped? NO! But do I care about other women? YES! Do I know how to stop them from being raped or murdered? NO! I think most criminals are equal opportunists. They don't care who gets hurt. Whether the criminal is male or female! You know, we have more male prisons than we do female prisons. However, the female prisons are overflowing too.
