      Feminism is now anti-feminine

      Drawing on 60 years' service to Church, Royal Navy, Journalism and
Education, Reverend Ken Dobson takes a look at the
      idiocy and ruin still being inflicted on our society today
      by faminazi fanaticism

      My childhood, some 70 years ago, was lived out in circumstances
totally different from those of today. It was a childhood with no luxuries,
no TV and no motor car; indeed, almost everything taken for granted by today
's children, was then totally absent.
      So how is it that we were so much more contented, more secure and
largely free of those things that make some of today's children a problem to
themselves, to their parents and teachers, and to society in general?
      We do not live in a happier world and our society is in an appalling
mess. Just ask your local 'bobby' for a start! His job today bears little
resemblance to that of the 1920s and 30s.

      What, in essence, is it that has so changed our lives? The answer is
all too simple; all too obvious. It is the almost total disappearance of
mother from the home. Yes, it is as fundamental as that. The great abundance
of social evils today is basically that mum is not there when we need her.
She is elsewhere: in a shop, operating a computer in an office earning the
extra money required to provide today's extras, often foolishly conceived of
as 'essentials'.
      If we came home from school and Mum was not there, we were totally
stricken. Where could she possibly have gone? It was as basic and as simple
as that! Mum's eventual reappearance was greeted with huge relief and a
sense that all was well with the world once again.

      Clearly this has been a major feminazi coup. A great victory for all
they hold dear. Their ancient battle cry: 'If women will not leave their
homes then we will drive them out' has now been fulfilled.
      So let's have a quick look round at some feminist achievements today.
We know all too well what it has meant for families, for husbands, for
teachers and for society - especially older folk.
      What, in their own words, have these 'liberated' women achieved? Here
are just a few recent examples.

      A Daily Telegraph headline has proudly proclaimed 'First female
Solicitor General kicks the men in wigs downstairs".
      It seems this new feminist paragon of virtue has removed from the
Solicitor General's office the priceless national treasure of 'pictures of
men in ruffs, frock coats and breeches' and replaced them with 'bright
abstract paintings by women'. No matter that what she has wantonly thrown
out is part of our national heritage!
      The actions of this zealous 'reformer' sound rather hollow when we
consider that she recently appeared on our front pages as 'the Rt Hon.
Speedy Gonzales caught speeding at 99mph' just when the Government had
announced a clampdown on speeding!
      Furthermore, this 'lady' is a cabinet minister, who had been sacked by
Tony Blair and had also been prosecuted for contempt by the then Attorney
General. Her quite pathetic performance in a former government post led to
her being assisted from a BBC programme in a distressed state.
      This same woman, who was also once at the centre of a media storm,
sums up with the immortal phrase: 'I'm definitely a feminist'. Well, well!

      My second example takes us back to April. A sports supplement of a
daily paper was filled almost from end to end with pictures and interviews
with a female athlete under a headline '2-15-25 The time that set a new
world standard". Try as I might, I just could not locate any reference to
how mere male athletes had fared in the race. Presumably they had simply
faded away, unable to compete with this female Amazon.

      The same extraordinary hype appeared everywhere in the media. I was
quite dazzled until, oh dear, I noticed a tiny reference to a man from
Ethiopia who had taken only 2 hours 7 minutes 56 seconds; well over 7
minutes less than the time taken by the much vaunted lady. Would you call
this racist, sexist, or just plain cheap feminist deceit?

      In quite a different case, I noticed that one of our most respected
technical journals has been running a service determined to change the fact
for which most of us are truly thankful: that only one in ten rail employees
is a woman. Those not agreeing with the author of the article are labelled
'misogynist'. Could it not be that, in fact, aptitude is more likely to be
the deciding factor?
      Nor was it a great surprise to hear that a recommendation to the
Government suggests sex 'education' lessons should be given to
five-year-olds. After all, had I not taken part in a verbal dual with a
specially appointed minister of a highly respected protestant church when he
openly advocated giving very young girls advice on the so-called
contraceptive pill? My preferred lists of 'facts of life' and their results
interested him not one jot.

      So all in all, what a breath of fresh air we found in Alice Thomson's
splendid Telegraph article 'What do women want? To be left alone'.
      ' At 21,' she says, 'I assumed that feminism was about having the same
rights as men. We'd had the same education, the same career opportunities.
None of my teachers ever suggested that girls should consider different jobs
to fit in with having a family. It would have been insulting.

      ' Now half my girlfriends have given up work for their children.
No-one wants to be considered a career harpie. 'Yummy mummies', the ones who
look immaculate at the school gate and make cupcakes for their children,
made it into the dictionary. The statistics bear it out. According to Jill
Kirby, authoress of the Centre for Policy Studies pamphlet Choosing to be
Different, the ideal of the 'superwoman' full-time working mother peaked in
the late 1980s. The majority of women now prefer their man to be the major
breadwinner.
      ' This varies little across social class. It's not even a British
issue. Ann Crittenden, authoress of The Price of Motherhood, a best seller
in America, makes it clear that American mothers are sick of being told to
have it all. Across the classes, and the Atlantic, only 20 per cent of
mothers now consider a career their priority.'

      Alice Thomson asks, 'So what is the Government doing about it? What
has the trio of women - Tessa Jowell, Patricia Hewitt and Margaret Hodge -
who decide such matters for us, said? Get back to work. Stop being so
selfish. A report from the Women and Equality Unit makes it clear: 'Real
problems persist: the employment rates for women with dependent children. It
continues: 'Just 48 per cent of women with children under two are in
employment, compared to 90 per cent of men with two-year-olds.'

      Margaret Hodge, the new Minister for Children, must feel bewildered.
Her generation of Labour MPs wants to give women the same chance they had -
to have both a career and a family - and they're turning down the offer.
      Miss Hewitt, the Trade and Industry Secretary, goes further. Her
department believes that the stay-at-homes are a drain on the economy by
failing to pay for the cost of their education through taxation.
      It's true to a certain extent. More than half of all students taking
up scarce places at medical school are women. Yet after 10 years, 60 per
cent of them have given up, leaving a huge hole in the NHS. The same goes
for teaching.

      The problem for the Misses Hodge and Hewitt is that the majority of
young women aren't like them. Even if they are given help with childcare,
they would prefer to do it themselves.
      Every child manual starts by telling mothers how crucial the first few
years are. It's a generation thing. Now that we don't have to fight to work
anymore, many are choosing not to.
      Alice Thomas, Well done! You've said it all!

      So there we are! Despite oceans of sick feminazi propaganda, endless
media support and unashamed brainwashing of teenagers; despite drivelling
headlines such as 'Women get a taste for life in the fast lane' (alas ending
in an early grave), a vast number of women still choose to be real women.
After all, our future does depend on it!
