Fruits of feminism?

Independence - frees men from responsibility - leads to abused and abandoned women

Contraception - frees men from responsibility - leads to...

Financial independence - frees men from responsibility...

Sexual ‘liberation’ - frees men...

Easy divorce - frees men...

(is there a trend here?)

And... careers as the primary way for women to find meaning and value in their lives- leads to abortion as a perceived necessity so that careers are not disrupted - leads to abortion as a perceived universal right to justify women who have had abortions - leads to aborting of girls because they are girls (what a tragic own goal!) and the inability to comment on that because abortion is every woman's right for whatever reason she chooses..., and also leads to the incidental corruption of medics and medicine (which used to be at the service of life), leads to ...

Careers focus also leads to the abandonment of children by their parents to professional child rearers, contributing to the fragmentation of family life and disaffected and damaged youth.

The whole project - springs from and reinforces a human-centred view of reality that excludes God and even in Catholics makes it unlikely they will accept and follow Church teaching.

Have I missed anything?

Careers and vocations

A chap called Ttony, with a stutter presumably (I wouldn’t mention it, but he seems to make a point of it) left a comment a while back which set me thinking.

I have to say, that I discourage our kids from thinking about careers much. I have, too often, seen kids pursuing either their parents’ ambitions for them (to be a doctor, typically!) or an amibtion they settled on early in life - and it going wrong.

But I am more than happy to get the girls to recognise that their vocation is highly likely to include being a wife and mother, or possibly a religious sister: something the schools don’t seem interested in discussing...

Indeed, Ant has taken to winding the careers people up by talking in such terms. I can't think where she gets it from!
