Women Who Make the World Worse

This book by Kate O'Beirne is fascinating. Rush Limbaugh's endorsement says, "With wit and smarts she drives a stake through the heart of radical feminism, naming names, and takes down the modern sisterhood in a fearless, funny, and factual way. And it's long overdue. Know your enemy. Buy this gutsy book!"

Most of the time, feminism is such a part of our culture, woven into the fabric of our everyday lives, that we don't see it or know it's there. It's subtle but it's fierce, waiting to destroy every woman and every marriage. Satan knows - attack the family, attack the created order - soon women will be leading men. Abortion, homosexual marriage ... where will it end? Here's a couple of quotes from her book.

"When the number of women who died in Iraq reached two dozen, sixteen as the result of enemy action, feminists welcomed the gruesome milestone. Retired Air Force brigadier general Wilma L. Vaught explained, "There's been an acceptance of the fact that women ... are in harm's way and they are being killed. That is defining to me." A woman being brutally killed alongside men is a long-awaited feminist dream of equality."

"In a celebratory story featured on its Web site, the U.S Army patted itself on the back for giving Army Reserve Sergeant Julia Fadell the opportunity to drive a forty-ton heavy equipment transporter throughout Iraq rather than be stuck in a dreaded "routine job." By October 2003, Sergeant Fadell had been fired on and separated from the unit's convoy at night in Baghdad, but was extending for another year's duty in Operation Iraqi Freedom. "What I'm doing is important," declared the forty-one-year-old mother of SIX children who range in age from nine to tewnty-two. In keeping with the apparent family tradition of women doing men's dangerous work, her eldest daughter, an Air Forcec reservist, had recently served in Baghdad. Mother and daughter are a tribute to the feminists who have waged a relentless campaign against the quintessentially male obligation to fight our nation's wars. Feminist ideology has won when it doesn't matter which sex does the mothering or the soldering."

"The 213,059 women on active duty include over 24,000 single mothers, and there are 29,000 married women with children on active duty in the Army alone."

Is this something of which we as a nation should be proud? Would this make our Father delighted in us? Oh the shame! We are so far from God's original intentions in the created order of male and female. My heart breaks!

Sad. It's frustrating to have to defend doing what God designed me to do. Makes me long for heaven.

That book sounds great, in a sad sort of way. Reality check. This is the world we live in. I suppose that's why it bothers me so much to see Christians move away from what God intented. If we don't hold tightly, obviously no one will.
I'm sorry our phone time was cut so short today. I hope we get some good time to catch up soon.
