609. Roots: Politics vs. Females — 1. Openers

Jump to Comments

I dedicate this series to Her Ladyship Princess Rita.

The roots of Feminism are so interwoven in politics, history, and propaganda that this series has grown in size and depth. To ensure clarity, you’ll have to suffer through some definitions. Sorry.

I expose endless ways that Feminism helps political activists steal power away from the female gender and moderate the power of individuals. So, stay with me. Don’t let one objection or temporary disinterest turn you off. Rewards will come with the whole picture.  

We will trace roots by comparing two kinds of people. Some believe that women have God-given inherent rights to power, respect, and equal standing in society. Others believe they can provide women greater advantages, especially over men, through modern political and legal means that are unrestricted by principles from two centuries ago.

Some people rely on principles locked firmly in the rule of law, because it more predictably shapes their future. Others depend on pressures perceived by those in positions of power and respond to the rule of man, which makes the future unpredictable for the Some. (Also, women possess a primal need for a brighter future, and so they crave stability and predictability in their lives.)

Citing two kinds of people beg this question: What about people in the middle? Essentially, fence sitters don’t know, don’t care, or just want to watch. So, for this treatise, we can ignore them. And anyway, moderates don’t change the world. They water down the urges of the two competing kinds that shape the world; those whom I contrast here.  

Some people seek to preserve the U.S. Constitution, because it guarantees our inherent rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Others seek to overrule or overturn the Constitution, so they can impose their ideals on society according to ideologies foreign to America’s founding, heritage, and tradition.

Some people want to let people mind their own business and lives. Others seek to interfere in everyone’s business and life, and they expand government power to do more of it.

The roots of Feminism extend deeply into the ideologies of the Others shown above and in what follows. For over 100 years a collection of interest groups pushed back and forth to fulfill hidden agendas. They advanced with incremental ups and downs, as in two steps forward, one step back.

The mid-Twentieth Century saw revolutionary events including Women’s Liberation that morphed into Feminism. Modern women now question the merits, so feminists have started leaning as if preparing to take a step back. But the game’s not over and we need more info about the players.

Tomorrow: WWNH about faith.
