Feminism Destroying America

When one searches to find the causes for America's rapid deterioration,
there is no shortage of suspects. However, my thirty-plus years experience
as a pastor, counselor, and researcher has convinced me that there is no
greater threat to America's future survival than the overall negative effect
that modern-day feminism has had, and is having, upon our homes and
churches.

In just over three decades, the feminist movement has completely uprooted
and rewritten the norm for American family life. No longer are women seen as
nurturers and helpmeets. The push for "equality" has done much more than
move America's women from the kitchen to the boardroom; it has moved them
from under the arm and next to the side of their husbands to, in many cases,
a place of independence from, and lordship over, them.

Wives and mothers today seem to take pride in their ability to "control"
their husbands. At the same time, however, they seem to be oblivious to the
fact that they have absolutely no control over their children. But neither
will they allow their husbands (or anyone else) to discipline their
children. As a result, today's kids are growing up mostly undisciplined,
unrestrained, and uncontrollable.

Ask any teacher, Sunday School teacher, coach, or youth worker, and they
will tell you the same thing: today's children are out of control! Many
people have far more control over their pets than they do their own
children.

Sadder still is the fact that the only answer anyone seems inclined to
proffer is to put these kids on behavior modification drugs, which, as
almost anyone knows, only exacerbates the problem. The problem with most
children is not an inability to sit still and learn; it is the inability of
parents to make their children sit still and learn. When it comes to making
children mind, many parents today seem to be absolutely and totally
helpless. I have never seen anything like it.

Please don't misunderstand me. I am not one who believes that all of our
marital and family problems are due to women working outside the home. I
don't believe that at all. However, I do believe that any couple that places
their personal careers or ambitions above their primary responsibility to
raise respectable, honest, obedient children is not only failing their
children; they are failing our country.

Selfish, materialistic, egocentric children do not make good citizens. They
don't make good employees, good policemen, good teachers, good judges, good
pastors, good congressmen, good physicians, or good role models. In fact,
they don't make good anythings.

Ever since our politically correct society decided that America's fathers
and husbands were no longer qualified to be the heads of their families, our
society has fallen into chaos. America's dads are reduced to being the butt
end of every comedian's joke, the fall guy in every sitcom, and the stupid
buffoon in every television commercial.

However, it does not matter what Gloria Steinem and her feminist friends
think about it, there is an established natural order for healthy,
productive family life. Man has a natural headship responsibility to both
his family and his community. When men surrender this responsibility, or
when women wrestle it away from them, the entire family and social
structures collapse. And that is exactly what is currently happening.
