Subject: Repost - Erin Prizzy - Critique of Feminism
This is an article I lifted from the Mens Media Network Site.
I find it interesting and pertinent as it is written from a womans
perspective.
Lets see what some of our "resident" feminazi's have to say about it.:-

"Why I, as An Ardent Anti-Feminist,
Feel Sorry For Women
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----
Erin Pizzey

I feel sorry for women of my generation who were tricked into believing that
the so called women’s movement had anything to offer women except tears.
Professor Ruth Wisse from Harvard, has this to say about the women’s
movement: "By defining relationships between men and women in terms of power
and competition instead of reciprocity and cooperation, the movement tore
apart the most basic and fragile contract in human society, the unit from
which all other social institutions draw their strength."

I believe that the women’s movement internationally has been the most
extreme and the most influential cause of the destruction of family life in
this century. The history of this movement goes back to the early sixties in
America when the women’s liberation movement was born out of the rage and
frustration of American women working along side men in the left wing
movements that were sweeping across the western world. Like many women of my
age, I was transfixed by the writings of feminist gurus. I passionately
believed in the message that was being touted through the pages of
newspapers. The seductive message was that women were going to cease to
fight and to compete with each other. We were going to come together to
improve our role in society and to take advantages of choices that would
enable us to compete in the work place if we so wished. We would be given
control over our bodies and be able to make our own decisions over abortion.
To this end we were invited to attend conferences where ‘a new future for
women’ would be revealed.

What was all too quickly revealed was an agenda that made my blood run cold.
Hundreds of women, all white, mostly middle class and largely from academia,
assured us that they had the solutions to all our problems. My problem as I
saw it, was that I had recently moved into Hammersmith and was suffering
from a great deal of isolation. I supposed that the women’s movement was
geared towards helping women, like myself, at home with small children, to
learn to reach out to others in our communities. I was very wrong. It soon
became obvious that the women’s movement was bent on infiltrating and
destroying family life. The enemy I needed to identify was behind my own
front door. Useless to protest that my husband paid our mortgage and enabled
me to stay at home full time to be with my two small children. I was howled
down and ridiculed. Within a matter of months after that first conference
the subject of women’s liberation had become so fashionable that very few
women would dare even suggest that they were happy to be at home and even
less likely to admit that they were happily married.

Some newspapers through their women’s pages and virtually all magazines
carried their new ‘deal’ for women. Marriage and family life were little
more than gulags where women languished, forced to service the bestial needs
of men. Women, in this brave new world, were now fueled with the information
that women’s sexual needs, denied them for so many generations by selfish
and controlling men, were now paramount. Overnight the roles changed and men
no longer were the pursuer but became the pursued. The pill took care of any
consequences and old fashioned morality was thrown on the scrap heap.
Chivalry towards women by men was met with sullen rudeness and men began to
feel the chill wind of universal female dislike. Maleness became radically
unfashionable. Little boys were to be brainwashed into abandoning their
traditional games and toys and encouraged to adopt ‘femaleness.’ Men were to
be redesigned and repackaged into ‘new men.’ Many men, at first, responded
with cries of delight. Blinded by lust and the lure of relationships without
any responsibility, many men fully concurred with the women’s movement.
Slowly as women moved into positions of power, men began to feel the iron
fist of the women’s movement in their backs.

Today, millions of men look back at the devastation this movement created in
their lives. Publicly derided as useless, feckless idle wasters, men have
retreated into their holes to lick their wounds. A generation of young men
in their early twenties are now adrift in a sea of misandry. They are
regularly exposed as less able than their sisters and pilloried as academic
failures by the press. No wonder they turn to mental illness, suicide and
drugs. Their feminist mothers, in many cases, with multiple sexual partners,
have abandoned their role as care givers. Children come home to empty rooms,
empty fridges and no warmth. These are the children of the ‘nobody home’
generation. The feminist movement decreed that all women must enter the work
force and hand their young children over to the care of the ‘mother’ state.
As the divorce rates soar men refuse to make any commitment that ties them
to women who, when they are bored with the relationship, will boot the men
out and keep the money and the children.

The gross injustice to men deserves our concern but save your tears for
innocent women. Our daughters did not deserve the inheritance of malice and
spite that my generation of women heaped upon the shoulders of men. The
feminisation of the schools where all male efforts were seen as malignant.
The natural attraction between boys and girls described as ‘sexual
harassment,’ and the terrible loss of tenderness and romance that has been
leached out of the lives of women.

What we have left, thanks to this evil movement, is a vast number of lone
women trying to keep what is left of family life going. They never asked to
be foot soldiers in what has become a feminazi army. They were not blessed
with skills and college degrees that gave them economic power to make
decisions when they were abandoned by their men. They believed that the
feminist movement was going to offer them choices. What they did not
understand was that there were never any choices. Men, realizing that they
had been cast in the role of sexual monsters, retaliated. Those that didn’t
pitch into the war of the sexes with relish, simply faded away. Women facing
the new millennium have few choices. One of them must be to take back our
homes and our families from the clutch of the feminist movement. Fight back
against the ridicule heaped upon men. Those men are our sons and hopefully,
our future son-in-laws. Where are the men and women who want to preserve
family life in this country. Are they willing to stand up and be counted? "
