Introducing Women Who Make the World Worse
Welcome to the inaugural summer post of NeW's online blog Book Club! Every Monday, I will facilitate discussion by posting thoughts about interesting quotes and points in Kate O'Beirne's book, Women Who Make the World Worse: And How Their Radical Feminist Assault Is Ruining Our Schools, Families, Military, and Sports. This week we will be discussing the Introduction. If you do not have your copy yet, you can buy it on Amazon here.
According to Kate O'Beirne:
Kate O'Beirne goes on to list the following women in the public sphere working toward these aims: Jane Fonda ($12.5 million gift to Harvard for anti-male research), Whoopi Goldberg (pro-abortion philosophy and praise for single-parent families), Hillary Clinton (plan to '"liberate" women by putting their children in federally funded childcare programs), and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg (complaints about Mother's Day and Girl Scouts).
At my convocation at Arizona State University, these women would have been satisfied in their "success." The undergraduate student speaker for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences was biologically a man who regarded himself as "she." Thus, he was one of those boys who was "reprogrammed and treated for his 'pathology.'" Sadly, because he depended on his unusual appearance to sustain the audience's attention, his speech had no content. With perfectly straightened hair, thick eyeliner, large gold earrings, this student began his speech by blowing a birthday party / New Year's Eve party blower. Although his words were meaningless, his actions and appearance spoke loudly.
I have a question for you all. Actions supposedly speak louder than words. However, for the success of their methods and aims, radical feminists have not been silent. They have garnered key positions and used their platforms to proclaim their philosophy and make it seem "mainstream;" while conservative women have been content being consistent in their actions at home, at work, at church, and in their community. I would argue that there is one thing wrong with this picture. Conservative women have been silent.
Would you agree? How should conservative women change what they are doing to challenge the women who make the world worse?
According to Kate O'Beirne:
"The modern women's movement is totalitarian in its methods, radical in its aims, and dishonest in its advocacy. . .Fueled by their persecution fantasies, modern feminists have been calling for radical social engineering to eliminate any differences between the sexes. They insist that any sex differences are the result of social construction, not biology. So they want boys and men to be reprogrammed and treated for their 'pathology.'"

Dear Catherine,
Conservative women must be encouraged to
give a voice to their values! Yes, our
actions speak loudly, but to be successful against the insidiousness of "male reprogramming" ad nauseum, adopting the tactic of fighting fire with fire would be great!
Conservative women can write letters to
the editor and letters to their elected officials. They can serve on committees and boards of family friendly organizations, and be community organizers for pro-life and prayer events. Conservative women can
find a Truth Project small group in their neighborhood and attend the 13 week class. This will equip them to be
pro-active, involved citizens of their
communities! If we don't stand up for the truth, who will?

Feminism is dying. More and more women are deciding to stay home rearing their children instead of putting them into third party day care. But the destruction feminism left behind, and continues to leave, is huge.
The problem is to find a man who will commit, when men have now been empowered with "sexual freedom". Who could do such an awful thing to women?
The feminists are misogynist -- they actually hate women as well as men-- that's why they try to make women more like men by denying the biological differences. The feminists, filled with hate and denial, want to stamp out any femininity in women and force them into male roles. It's sick if you ask me.
