Hating Babies, Hating Mothers

“I don’t want a baby. . . . Nothing will make me want a baby. . . .
“This is why, if my birth control fails, I am totally having an abortion.”
— Amanda Marcotte, January 2014

“No woman should be authorized to stay at home to raise her children. Society should be totally different. Women should not have that choice, precisely because if there is such a choice, too many women will make that one.”
— Simone de Beauvoir, 1975

“We identify the agents of our oppression as men. . . . All men have oppressed women.”
— Redstockings, 1969

Professor Glenn Reynolds is stunned by the condescending tone of a New York Times article on wealthy stay-at-home moms:

Okay, so the implication is that there’s something wrong with being married to a rich, powerful man? And there’s also something wrong with “intensive mothering,” which apparently means being intensively involved in your child’s upbringing? . . .
[I]f this is slavery — being married to a rich/powerful husband, being able to stay at home with one’s children, and having time to get involved with charitable causes — I think a lot of women would willingly sign up.
Only a hardcore feminist would think such a life is odd enough to pen an anthropological essay about it in the New York Times.

Ah, Professor, but in the elite media, “only a hardcore feminist” is ever allowed to write anything about women’s lives.

The goal of the Feminist-Industrial Complex is to indoctrinate all college students in feminism’s anti-male/anti-heterosexual ideology, and this New York Times article is about trying to figure out how these women managed to resist. Too many Disney movies, maybe?

“The radical feminist argument is that men have forced women into heterosexuality in order to exploit them . . .”
— Celia Kitzinger, The Social Construction of Lesbianism (1987)

Heterosexuality is oppression. Motherhood is slavery.

What twisted them so to get them this way?

It is probably good they are not raising any babies, but still. Jeeze louise.

A woman has sovereignty over her own body. So if she chooses to end a pregnancy before it’s full term, that’s her right. But at the same time I respect a woman’s choice for wanting to stay at home and be a housewife is she chooses. Many feminists try painting a woman who chooses to stay at home and raise children as a traitor to the feminist cause. But I think being a housewife and a mother is a perfectly noble goal for any woman.

“Their self-care was no less zealous or competitive. No ponytails or mom jeans here: they exercised themselves to a razor’s edge, wore expensive and exquisite outfits to school drop-off and looked a decade younger than they were.”

Scottie –

A woman has sovereignty over her own body

Yes

So if she chooses to end a pregnancy before it’s full term, that’s her right.

No.

An unborn child is not merely part of his mother’s body. Not like a bunion or an appendix.

He is a human life in his own right, the most vulnerable and innocent of all human life.

Abortionists belong in jail. They are murderers, plain and simple.

I find it helpful to see what these folks look like. It often explains a lot about their worldview.

So Wednesday ~~Addams~~ Martin looks like a Bond villain. No alpha male billionaire husband for her.

Sharon Hayes, the sociologist/ Gender studies professor quoted in Martin’s article, looks like a homeless meth addict.

— Simone de Beauvoir, 1975

So, if you want to kill your unborn baby, you ABSOLUTELY have the right to make that choice, but if you want to keep your baby and stay at home and raise your baby, you ABSOLUTELY should NOT have that choice.

IOW, despite what they claim, feminists really hate choice.

There is a bizarre marriage between the insane which is now being labeled as Feminism and socialism/fascism/communism educational industry. Is it any wonder that we have a large populace of people who believe all sorts of things contrary to nature and common sense.

Patterico once had a post up speculating on what the left would do if the technology existed such that if a woman found herself pregnant, and did not wish to have a child, the unborn child could be transferred into an artificial womb or some such device, so that the woman could become unpregnant, without the child being killed.

The left still wanted the child dead.

The process of–to use a current term–“shaming” stay-at-home moms, especially those with advanced college degrees as been goin on for awhile now. Feminists sell it as being a betrayal of feminist ideals. In reality, nothing demonstrates the Leftist orientation of feminism as well as this. It is about making sure that every able bodied person is employed and feeding tax money into the state’s insatiable maw.

Thus, do we have pronouncements like, “No woman should be authorized to stay at home to raise her children.” “Authorized?” By whom? Consider also the various statements like, “It takes a village . . .” or Melissa Harris-Perry’s assertion that children belong to society and not parents or the demonization of “free range” parenting or the attacks on home and private schooling. All of these seemingly disparate movements are in reality individual threads in the cloth of destruction of Western Civilization. I fear we’ve long passed the tipping point and those of us who’ve been warning of such developments for years are now welcoming newcomers to what is, alas, the Alamo. It’s hard to avoid saying things like, “Where were you 30 years ago?”

“The goal of the Feminist-Industrial Complex is to indoctrinate all college students in feminism’s anti-male/anti-heterosexual ideology”.

No, the current goal of F-I Complex is to drive their agenda into the public schools, as is currently being done in Fairfax County, VA. Face facts, they have already succeeded at the collegiate level. If successful, it will also create thousands of job opportunities for Women Studies graduates to work as guidance counselors to implement these policies in K-12 schools.

By the way, loved the book “Sex Troubles”.

Quite true, although the agenda has been set for awhile, and I know for a fact that “battlefield preparation” for this part of the Left’s war on our educational has been going on for at least 15 years. (Other portions of the agenda have been advanced for the last 40 years and the plan has been in place for at least a century.)

At this point, cue up those with kids in public schools who protest that “it’s not in my school.” Yes it is; it’s just being deliberately hidden from you. Public school is not the same as 20 years ago. Ignoring what’s going on is not an answer when it’s your children’s soul at stake.

I believe you’re right. But it’s not like we weren’t warned a couple of thousand years ago. I figure society as a whole is beyond redemption, and now we just focus on what can be done with individual lives. Of course, if more of us did that, who knows the good that could be wrought?

Where is that statement from? What backs it? Why is it so blunt and final with no mitigation from the concept of responsibility?

You have the right to walk freely down the street and go where you want to go…

…BUT if you blithely walk past a guy lying there with a bloody knife-wound on his stomach, then I am allowed to regard you as evil, because you felt not a smidgen of responsibility. I would regard you as evil for thinking your freedom absolves you of responsibility.

I can’t find the exact quote right now, but in discussing his proposal for universal daycare, Obama made a gaffe — which is to say, he accidentally told the truth: that he doesn’t want women to make the choice to stay home with the kids, since closing the gender pay gap is more important to him.

So, what about an old girlfriend of mine, who has a disabled son? She has a college degree, a Masters even, but her husband and she had a mentally disabled son, who can never care for himself. Her husband works, and she stays home to care for their son. Should the feminists shame her?

The Aztecs and Maya with their cults of human sacrifice had nothing on our modern Molech and culture of child sacrifice. Look at those two zombified specimens in the picture, they’d fit well at Tenochtitlan worshiping the devil-god Huitzilopochtli.

Imagine one founding father, one Puritan or one contemporary of Jefferson or Lincoln who could imagine any political party, let alone a majority party, in this country taking its cue from the Aztecs and making sodomy and human sacrifice a part of its platform.

I have a suspicion about Marcotte that her emotional life is a consequence of some sort of feedback loop wherein she responds to discontent with anger which generates more discontent. This will not end well.

Some years ago, Prof. KC Johnson put up a post critiquing some of her writings on Pandagon, written at a time when she was still employed at UT Austin and blogging in her spare time. A woman chimed in with a story and explanation. This woman identified herself as the mother of a youth who had been in Marcotte’s social circle ca. 1994 (more precisely, she said her son’s closest friend had put in some time as Marcotte’s boyfriend). The setting was Alpine, Tx, a settlement of about 9,000 people all alone in the west Texas desert. By this woman’s account, Marcotte despised her son, seeing him a hick and also looked upon her milieux with a mixture of contempt and a sense of injury, irritated that her pop culture knowledge (among other things) was unappreciated (the occasion was some sort of costume she wore to party derived from Rocky Horror Picture Show, to which she had given detailed and assiduous attention).

You never know about these things, but this woman’s account was temperate, detailed, and had a certain versimilitude. Students of small town life (which I only experienced as an adult) tell me that the relationship between such towns and their natives can be powerful – one of attraction or one or repulsion. Consider the actor Matt Malloy, who continues to own a home in the little town in New York where he grew up.

So, who’s Amanda Marcotte? A woman not at home where she’s native (not surprising to many; the thought of West Texas can be agoraphobia inducing). A woman whose education is not all that extensive or distinctive. (Rank and file private colleges are for the kids who did not get into the state university of their choice, and that’s where her schooling stopped). A woman whose work history is not all that impressive either (mainly eight years as a petty apparatchik in higher education). A woman who has no husband and no children. A woman who has never written anything that mattered the day after she wrote it.

Now, she can look in the mirror and say, “I’m 38 years old today. What’s it worth and whose to blame if the answer is ‘not a whole lot’? That hurts. Alternatively, she can turn up the volume. Maybe the volume get her the recognition she fancies she’s deserved all these years. Or so she thinks. Most of us avoid pain and have trouble thinking long term.

Just a little OT, but as I was perusing the book section at a major drug chain, I noticed all the romance novels.

Know what they all have in common? A damsel in distress and an Alpha male there to save the day. Sometimes the distressed damsel isn’t shown on the cover, but it is usually implied in the title of the book.

I defy you to show me a romance novel with a Beta male on the cover.

Bitterness comes right off the page, as does her arrogance. I’m not a fan of mind-reading strangers but I’ve met a lot of people whose reality never lived up to their arrogance. As long as they’re young, they can keep that illusion going. As they age, they realize a lot of stuff they thought might happen, things they’d do and places they’d see will never happen. Arrogance precedes an event, cockiness comes after an event. She wants to be treated like some wise world-weary personage. The trouble is her wisdom consists of a keyboard and her nice opinion of herself. If you want to be cocky, get out there and do something. Create some stories to tell. I have no respect for her – she is a fool.

When has a group of women ever created a thing like a Magna Carta or Constitution? That leads one to believe they either don’t care or can’t do it. The view from outside looks much the same. It takes blood to enforce those freedoms and I’m the one who has to sign up for the draft by law. Take the fake blood away and go shed some real blood. Start at the draft offices. Occupy them – don’t take no for an answer. The fact I have to give those directions is its own answer.
