Someone from the Winona Senior High School e-mailed in response to my last article on feminism. As she wrote, “You have got some of your information incorrect. I am a student at Winona Senior High School and I know Carrie and the ‘friend’ didn’t wear a button and is no longer involved with this.”
What can I say? I get my information out of the papers. I’ll do what I can to correct it when possible.
Speaking of “that” issue, it’s been active on the blogs. Accordining to one poster on Carrie Rethlefsen’s blog,
[W]ith the current facist Bush regime, women’s rights are being ripped away as fast as they can. Sneaky and underhanded tactics are being employed to make Roe V. Wade as weak as possible, with an end goal of widdling it down to uselessness.
Demonstrating my point, this isn’t about rights. It’s about politics. Those who advocate for vulgarity aren’t doing so in the name of liberty. They’re doing so in the name of cultural remodeling. To liberals, “women’s rights” is a term interchangeable with “abortion.” Both phrases have very parochial meanings, and neither one is related to freedom.
The righteousness of feminists is absurd. How does this, or this, or this, or this have anything to do with rights? In what way are feminists benefactors to the subjects of those stories?
Someone else posted a response to my article in another blog. Speaking of it, the blogger wrote:
Is it so hard to understand what women’s issues are? There aren’t many things that are solely women’s issues as opposed to people’s issues, but there are some.
But because they referenced only with euphemisms, presumably because they’re otherwise so unpalatably extreme that no one would entertain them, we generally have no idea what “women’s rights” are outside of abortion.
No matter how you try to swing it, there are a few core issues that are specific to women. The message, though, is that women aren’t important enough to have issues of their own, no matter how personal they are.
Just a thought, but why do people’s personal issues somehow always lead to government requiring other people to pay for them?
[B]eing a 16-year-old who was homeschooled apparently gives him great insight into what public schooling is like
Apparently, homeschoolers aren’t important enough to be as opinionated as their publically schooled activist counterparts. Fascinating.
That’s it for now..
