Very good article. It's important to realize that feminism is only one segment of the modernistic propaganda machinery run by the elitist Freemasonry. These are the people described in detail in BG 16. Otoh, in our tradition there're are known several female diksa gurus and this has nothing to do with feminism. about the Graglia book: Domestic Tranquility: A Brief Against Feminism by F. Carolyn Graglia The principal targets of feminist fire in the on-going gender wars are not men but traditional wives and mothers, says a lawyer-turned-housewife in a powerful critique of contemporary feminism. With a profound understanding of the quandary of modern women, Carolyn Graglia shows that the cultural assault on marriage, motherhood, and traditional sexuality, rooted in the pursuit of economic and political power, has robbed women of their surest source of fulfillment. Mrs. Graglia traces the origins of modern feminism to the post-war exaltation of marketplace achievement, which bred dissatisfaction with womens domestic roles. In a masterly analysis of seminal feminist texts, she reveals a conscious campaign of ostracism of the housewife as a childish parasite. Turning to the feminist understanding of sexuality, now pervasive in our culture, she shows how it has distorted and impoverished sex by stripping it of its true significance. Finally, after exposing feminisms totalitarian impulse and its contribution to the tangle of pathologies that have left marriage and family life in tatters, she argues for a renewed appreciation of the transforming experience of motherhood and the value of the domestic vocation. cont. Personal Review: Domestic Tranquility: A Brief Against Feminism by F. Carolyn Graglia This book was amazing and it was pretty easy to read. The book has seven chapters, an index, an acknowledgment, bibliography and an introduction which is very very long. The first chapter is how woman became discontented and because of that discontent the feminist movement was bound to happen. She tells us how the "traditional family started" and how different cultures contributed to women no longer valuing the home or the homemaker status. The second Chapter discussed the response the revitalized woman's movement chose -- a further devaluation of the housewife's role to drive women into the market place. In the next chapter the author explains on how feminism de-feminized women to become more like men or lesbians. The forth chapter deals with feminists and them encouraging women into male promiscuity, and explains to us that our fore mothers probably had a better time in the bedroom than feminists lead women to believe. The fifth chapter was probably my favorite which deals with feminism and how the it tries to force or shame housewives into the market place by no-fault divorce laws, or by childish name calling. In chapter six probably the most hard-to-swallow chapter is how feminism impacted society and basically with numerous other accounts destroyed the black community, and made numerous women poor, children being born out-of-wedlock, contributed to falling birth rates, and more. The last chapter discusses how women would probably be more happier raising their children and if they choose to enter the workforce they shouldn't be shamed into it. Women should be free to choose whatever they think suits them and shouldn't be ashamed to do so and society shouldn't just take one side and not get the other side any chance to explain their side of the story. http://www.dandavats.com/?p=9471
