While I listened to this guy I wasn’t sure if he was just a liar or stupid. As I listened I knew he was both of those things and manipulative. The worst kind of manipulator. He was using female tactics. The “oh, I don’t know... I don’t know what you mean, you are crazy, you…don’t make sense.” And, the final, “That was a long time ago.”
First off, this guy hasn’t a clue about a real woman, so let me help. When Alex brought up that the CIA was behind the woman MOST known for feminism… Gloria Steinem. I didn’t know that, but I could quickly put together why.
Obviously, they wanted money & by having 2 people working they could collect more in taxes. It’s always about the money. These government agencies… it’s about money or power.
Was this a good idea? Well, I was young when Steinem came out, while she was burning her bra I was trying to get mine. I couldn’t put together what not wearing a bra had to do with overcoming men. She seemed like a bitter, mean person to me.
So now, we have had enough time to look around & see if this was a good idea. Let’s look, in the black community, they were encouraged to get “free stuff” easy free stuff, sure we all like that. So they get free housing AND BONUS extra for each kid, no man/husband needed. No male role models… I mean I’m just being honest here, if you want to deceive & manipulate go ahead but going that route never produced real answers. You have to take on responsibility for that.
So, what happens to the mainstream family structure? Mom at home, dad working, one car, one house? That was my life, along with church (which I never liked going to). So, what did that produce? Well, if you break an arm or come home cut, I know how to fix that. Mom taught us girls.
I can cook a full course dinner, I know how to clean & raise children. This is passed onto children by the stay-at-home mom. So, if my son was sick at school, I could be there in 5 minutes (not wait on the babysitter or neighbor). I know how to bring him home & tend to him, with a clean bed, darkened room & chicken soup. I’m there. Hole in a shirt? I can do that.
Are you getting the picture yet? If not I give you a grown woman who put Gorilla glue in her hair. She has 3 children. Do you know why no interviewer asked her, “What did your husband say?”. Think it over. Children raising children. Uneducated. This doesn’t turn out well.
I’m trying to shortcut this comment because I could talk all day on it. The shortcut ideas I put here should give you enough. Think this over, in Africa, there are sponsors who went into villages to help them live a better life. They found over time something they never could understand:
They taught them how to raise rabbits for food & money because it seems this is an easy way to work there w/little money. BUT, they found this knowledge was not passed down to each generation. They had to reteach the way to do it every 10 years or so. Think on that.
A family structure does a lot for the next generation. I didn’t raise children, I raised adults. Who are doing just fine.
