Desecration
“Women who stepped up were measured as citizens of the nation, not as women…this was a people’s war and everyone was in it”.
According to Charles Krauthammer’s 28 May column in the Townhall.com, these are the first words you see as you descend into the World War II Memmorial which just opened.
Krauthammer finds them banal.
I find them disgusting, repugnant and disgraceful.
The contribution of women during the Second World War should have certainly been recognized somewhere in the memorial but of the 405,399 Americans who died in that war (source:Altavista-World War II American casualties) how many were women.
The brunt of the suffering in that war, as in all wars, fell on the men.
There were no women at Omaha Beach, in the B-17’s over Europe, or in combat at Tarawa, Iwo Jima or Guadalcanal.
(And, please, nothing about the nurses. They were certainly brave women who deserve recognition but, as compared to men, how many were there of them?)
To imply that the suffering done by men and women during the Second World War was equal is just a lie.
Acknowledging the contribution of women first of all at the new memorial is female chauvinism at its most absurd.
Chalk up one more thing that the feminists have to be ashamed of.
If they are capable of that emotion.
