		<description>My Mother was a real feminist. She was competent, smart, taught me to be honest, demonstrated Christian behavior as well as offered to teach me how it had saved her from self destruction, loved my children completely, shared her humor and that of others in her letters to me. I am ashamed I did not demonstrate how much I appreciated her and thank her more for her sacrifices while she was still alive. I could not be the father or husband I am today without having had her influences in my life. I have no doubt that she made me a much better man and person, and I have passed her love on to my children. Thank you Muriel Cecelia M.
Her loving son.</description>

		<description>I just found this wonderful nugget of innate honesty and wish I&#039;d found it sooner. I found it utterly heartbreaking. I read the entire article and I &lt;strong&gt;CRIED&lt;/strong&gt;. I cried for the following reasons:

1. As a child, I saw the pull of guilt my own mother had about working and shuffling my sister and I off to various babysitters. She had had many, many miscarriages until me and my sister and she had to work. She was (and is still) a gifted computer programmer and I wish that her employers had had the foresight to have a daycare center within their facility so she knew we were safe. 

2. I saw how feminism and the wonderful modern, irresponsible American culture perverted my younger sister. She always felt in competition with me, because feminism encourages, not sisterhood, but competition among women (as I discovered in college). Feminism turned my sister into a clueless, craven slut. I don&#039;t often call another woman that... but as a teenager, she was the MOST selfish creature who hung out with like kind, developed a hideous drug/alcohol habit, ran away 2 times, and was raped at a frat party. My mother often tried to reach out to her and my sister would spit in her face... asking for stuff but not love. This was the result of my mother&#039;s guilt and it&#039;s still having an impact. My sister and I have been estranged (like Rebecca and Walker) since I graduated college. Many times, at the urging of friends, I tried to reconcile with her, to no avail. My sister, to this day, now a social worker, thinks the world revolves around her. When she heard that I was marrying a military man, she &quot;reluctantly&quot; participated in my small wedding, yet on subsequent occasions, she has been very disrespectful to both my husband and me and that alone is why, like Rebecca, I&#039;m estranged from my sister. Another ironic twist to my sister, she recently had a baby girl, and I wonder what my niece&#039;s future will be. Will my sister be yet another disinterested mother like Walker? I will hedge my bets since she was certainly a disinterested, jealous, abusive sister for most of my life.

3. In college, I had a &quot;beloved&quot; women&#039;s history teacher who I really looked up to. Her first husband abandoned her and her young daughter and me and my classmates often tried to support her. Her classes really taught me the academic philosophies of feminism, if not their hideous, personal repercussions. I saw this woman, a great friend, get married to a fellow professor I admired, and have another child. Unfortunately, even throughout the changes in her life, she still felt that women didn&#039;t need men or felt they exploited/hurt women rather than partnered/supported them. A woman, who was my personal, feminist icon... who I invited to my own wedding... when she found out that I was marrying someone in the military, she cut off all communication. I was devastated, even tried to contact her but she refused even those attempts. To this day, it befuddles me...even though she was a liberal, she was my friend and I was naive enough to think that friendship went beyond politics. I was wrong.

4. My personal consequences: throughout high school, college, graduate school, even from my own mother, female relatives/friends, I was told that women shouldn&#039;t &quot;depend&quot; on men. Focus on your career, even if it doesn&#039;t make you personally happy or &quot;complete.&quot; From the time I got my master&#039;s degree, to the time I pursued an ill-fated teacher&#039;s career, I always had the word &quot;career&quot; in my mind. I&#039;m now 32 and know that Rebecca&#039;s feelings are all too real about that &quot;ticking clock.&quot;

I know working moms try, but their attention is always diverted. They can&#039;t always be there for their kids, which is sad. Feminism, as devoutly followed by many liberal women, has turned them into self-centered, egocentric bitches like Alice Walker. I&#039;ve seen it in female relatives who went through divorce after divorce like they changed shoes and the casual, careless sexual flings of my friends.

As a woman who is 32, I desperately want a child and hope that I will be able to conceive and realize that dream. So does my husband. Nobody ever realizes what feminism does to men and the husbands of ambitious women who think a career above everything means &quot;something.&quot; It only means, that in the end, something&#039;s gotta give.... either your personal relationships, your dreams, or your sanity.

		<description>I just read Rebecca&#039;s entire article.

POWERFUL!

I am proud of her stance. Radical feminism has lied to, and devastated so many. She is MUCH stronger that her mother has ever been.  There is no greater priviledge than motherhood.  Anyone who disagrees is fooling themselves.

MM and Rebecca, thanks for sharing.</description>

		<description>Alice Walker typifies a lot of the social/political radicals of her time.  She &quot;loves&quot; humanity in the abstract, but not the people right in front of her.  Individual responsibilities to a marriage or a child get in the way of their devotion to politics and revolution.  The adulation of fans, fellow travelers, and the elites means more than hugs and hand paintings.  I wouldn&#039;t doubt that Ms. Walker surrounds herself with friends, associates, and even lovers who admire her from the outset.  Ultimately, I think she is disapponted her daughter didn&#039;t just &quot;get over&quot; the haphazard way she was raised and chalk it up as a necessary sacrifice to the wonderfulness that is Alice Walker and her cause.  She has what Tammy Bruce would call &quot;malignant narcisissm.&quot;  I&#039;ve read stuff on Frontpagemag.com about other children of radicals and they were often mistreated by their parents.  It&#039;s very sad.  

Feminism should&#039;ve been regarded as an experiment that needed to evolve and change.  If Rebecca Walker is a liberal still, it may not be for very long.  She possesses far too much common sense.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Being a feminist means believing in equal rights for women and men.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

And our illiterate culture has mistaken &quot;equality&quot; for androgyny.

Men and women should be treated with equal respect, but we are inherently &lt;em&gt;different&lt;/em&gt; in our abilities, likes/dislikes, etc.

We are designed - whether you believe in God or evolution - to be &lt;em&gt;complimentary&lt;/em&gt; to one another...</description>

		<description>memyselfandi said:&lt;blockquote&gt;Being a feminist means believing in equal rights for women and men.&lt;/blockquote&gt; No, I really don&#039;t think so.  Being a feminist means believing in the advancement of women&#039;s rights only.  If feminists truly believed in equal rights for both sexes, they would choose a gender neutral term to describe their movement, not the sexist term &quot;feminism.&quot;  

It would be like saying that white supremacists and the KKK stand for equality of the races; or that La Raza and the NAACP are interested in the advancement of all people.  It just doesn&#039;t fit the mold...</description>

		<description>I remember an ad on the radio several years ago for a temp service. It said, &quot;you have been a wife and mother but now it is time to be a woman by having a career.&quot; I didn&#039;t think I heard it right until I heard the ad at a later date.</description>

		<description>Heh, and I&#039;d wondered why all the boys in my generation act like five year old girls. 
Thanks a bunch for the 60&#039;s.
You know, it was wonderful that women gained access to school&#039;s, career&#039;s and all that nonsense but, to be perfectly honest, I would be happier being a housewife. I&#039;ve heard my whole life that I MUST have a career, and I MUST be better than the boys. I live in a town where feminity is frowned upon and I feel ashamed to wear a dress or even makeup. Is that what feminism has achieved, spineless men and obnoxiously masculine women who think that looking pretty is a sign of exploitation? 
All of my friends and me take pride in our appearances, and not for the sake of being a sexual object, but because being well put together gives us confidence and a sense of power. 
Thanks to feminism and the 60&#039;s, most of us have spent are lives being demeaned, abused and treated like idiots because we choose to exert our feminity. I think that&#039;s the legacy of feminism: Shame. The shame of being a woman. God knows, I&#039;d rather be a girl than one of the boys my age... I&#039;ve got more cojones than anyone I know haha.</description>

God knows, I&#8217;d rather be a girl than one of the boys my age&#8230; I&#8217;ve got more cojones than anyone I know haha.</p>

		<description>I had to stop and consider the implications of Rebecca Walker&#039;s article in a personal way. Her description of her mother&#039;s actions seemed to mirror the attitude of my ex-wife as to the responsibilities of parenting. For most of the marriage I was the provider/nurturer to both my biological daughter and my stepdaughter.

Due to her actions I was blessed with full custody after the divorce.

My ex-wife is now in a nursing home.

My oldest daughter, now 19, was living with her and is glad to be relieved of what she felt to be her caretaking filial responsibilities. 

My youngest daughter, who is 15 and lives with me, doesn&#039;t feel a need to contact her mother at this time.

The friends and so-called &quot;sisters&quot; that she chose over family are long gone.

My family consists of me and my two daughters. My oldest daughter is turning into a delightful adult. She&#039;s smart, funny, and a joy to have a conversation with. My youngest daughter is maturing into a sensitive young woman with a caring and generous heart (albeit with the usual mid-teen drama).

After reading this article, I found myself wondering if my ex&#039;s exposure to the feminist philosophy of the &#039;70&#039;s warped her lifeview from that point on.

Anyway....what&#039;s done is done.

As I mentioned above, she is in a nursing home.

And if she passes on in that place?

She will do it ....alone.</description>

		<description>terrig:

Your story about that pathetic woman who let a man abuse and molest her children happens &lt;em&gt;too frequently.&lt;/em&gt;

I hold women like her with so much contempt, it makes me want to slap her silly.  Dr. Laura addresses this issue constantly.  

Women should be she-bears when it comes to protecting their children.  

But instead, they are too weak and stupid to choose a husband for character and fatherly instincts.  Instead, they have serial boyfriends with whom they have children, and end up raising those children themselves &lt;em&gt;in poverty&lt;/em&gt;.  That&#039;s stupid.

Then we see them anxiously hunting for the &quot;next&quot; one, and often, in their desperation, end up with a creep who hurts her children.  How many times have we read stories of children who have been beaten, burned, strangled, molested, abandoned, and murdered in horrific ways &lt;em&gt;by mom&#039;s boyfriend&lt;/em&gt;?  &lt;em&gt;Too many damned times!&lt;/em&gt;

Because feminism has destroyed the traditional concepts of motherhood, womanhood, and marriage, children have been suffering the most, either by the mother&#039;s abuse, neglect, or outright MURDER by abortion.

I have nothing but contempt for mainstream feminism.  One judges a tree by its fruits.  With the fruits of feminism, we have seen evil.</description>

		<description>When I read this story last week, I honestly wasn&#039;t surprised.  However, it&#039;s not just the femnazis as Rush calls them.  There seems to be many today who do view their children not as precious gifts but as &quot;punishments&quot;.  They also seem to feel that their happiness is more important than their childrens.  Unfortunately, I have a pal from high school who recently found out her new boyfriend was molesting her 10 y/o son and 12 y/o daughter.  She kept this criminal in the house for two weeks and finally the girl told her teacher and she and the brother were out of the house that afternoon.  This idiot actually chose this guy over her kids until the cops came.  But she bailed him out.  Kids are still in foster care (where they&#039;re better off in my opinion) and she&#039;s trolling the yahoo personals again looking for another boyfriend (she needs to be happy).  
Rebecca&#039;s story is heart breaking but I am happy she has found what truly matters.</description>
