Feminist Says Child Rearing not Worthy of Time and Talents of
Intelligent
Humans

If all you thought like that then the world would be better off and not
breeding like rats with 1 billion and growing.

The world population is several times that figure.

New York, June 20, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Linda
Hirshman, a feminist US writer on cultural issues, has
told the world why she thinks staying at home with the
children is an occupation "not worthy of the full time
and talents of intelligent and educated human beings."
She complains at length that the feminist movement, while
making some gains in public life through legal activism,
has largely failed in the one area where it counts most:
the family.

She upbraids women who stay at home for failing the
feminist agenda, saying, "They do not require a great
intellect, they are not honored and they do not involve
risks and the rewards that risk brings."

Writing in the November 2005 edition of the American
Prospect, Hirshman admitted that the real intention of
the feminist movement was not "equality", but to destroy
what she calls "the unreconstructed family" of a husband
and wife rearing children. She writes that the goal was
to see as many women as possible abandoning family life
for high-level professions and politics.

Hirshman a committed radical, was a member in the 1970s
of the feminist lobby, the National Organization for
Women (NOW), a donor to the pro-abortion political
organization, EMILY's List, and a professor of women's
studies.

But, she complains, the movement has "stalled"; while the
"public world has changed... private lives have hardly
budged." Childrearing is still seen by both men and women
to be the natural purview of women. She writes of her
"shock" to discover that among those professional women
whom she called the "logical heirs of feminism", large
numbers were leaving their careers to opt for
childrearing.

"Marriage is essentially unchanged," she laments. "The
real glass ceiling is at home... Looking back, it seems
obvious that the unreconstructed family was destined to
re-emerge after the passage of feminism's storm of social
change."

She writes, "this represents not a loss of present value
but a loss of hope for the future -- a loss of hope that
the role of women in society will continue to increase."

Some of the women she interviewed confirmed her worst
fears: they liked being mothers. One declined to be
interviewed because she could not leave her activities
with her daughters: "We're all in here making fresh apple
pie," she said.

Another, an "an Ivy Leaguer with a master's degree"
described her at-home activities: "I take my [3-year-old]
daughter to all the major museums. We go to little
movement classes."

The article ignited a blaze of online outrage from
feminists and traditionalists alike. Bloggers and
editorials in print and online editions of a number of
magazines have run comments blasting Hirshman.

In an op-ed at the online edition of the political
magazine, the Huffington Post, Ann Coulter wrote that
Hirshman and those who think like her, are "expressing an
intolerant world view that women who don't work are
losers."

"Hirshman isn't just expressing an opinion about what she
thinks is best, she is saying that any woman who makes a
choice different from what she espouses is unequivocally
'wrong.'"

Coulter writes that feminism is losing its sway in public
because it focuses on "problems that hardly exist...
while spending precious little energy on issues that
indisputably have a negative impact on women:
pornography, sex trafficking."

"If [feminists] spent a fraction of the time on these
issues that they spend trying to get women to get their
men to vacuum the living room, the world would be a
better place."

prove my point about atheism though. There are very few
of them in the world, but you can spot them by their
world view. A true MALE atheist would be more like the
lead character in Natural Born Killers. It looks like the
female equivalent would be a rabid feminist.

I'm glad that the cat is out of the bag. Now everybody
should know that the goal of feminism was never equality.
There's actually a politician (I think in Sweden) who
wants women to chose to stay at home and raise kids to
reimburse the state for their education (because they're
"wasting" it raising their kids)! She basically wants to
take away women's "choice" and force them to be in the
work force whether they like it or not! How fascist!

There is no future without children and children need to
