I certainly agree with most of your article, but being very young during the Women's Lib movement, I can only say how happy I was that it came about. I did not want to get married and have children and be a "house wife" like it was expected of me. Why? Why did I have to follow that set of programming? I felt marriage was a trap. If a man and woman want to be married and raise a family, I am all for that. Men should be allowed to be men and the same goes for women. If a man wants to work to bring home the bacon and women be stay at home moms, I am fine with that. I don't think women should be cops, they can't handle the job, unless its behind a desk. They don't have the physical strength for it, same applies to working for a fire dept. Most women are bitches when it comes to being a CEO, or even a manager. I've run across so many of them who were Pure Evil. They got a little power in their pinky and thought they were God, and boy oh boy, did they let you know! I much rather work for a man. For myself, I don't look at myself as a female, thats secondary to being a Human. Me and my sisters didn't grow up in a household that showed a lot of love, only that we should graduate high school and look for a husband. You know, follow what your parents did and their parents and etc. Women do have a right to choose, but most have gone Way Over The Edge. I don't respect them at that point. No need to act like the female Black Widow spider. Its too bad men think so little of women, especially here in America. This is why they choose those from other countries, a woman who is more subservient. I live alone, so I have to have a pair of cajones or I will be taken advantage of and being seen as "weak". It swings both ways, Don. When men stand up for themselves, they are congratulated. When women do, they're called bitches. Go figure. Nudity can go, it needs to be eliminated from books, magazines, and movies. Females at the beach who wear only thongs, I find it very disgusting. Cover it up, Ladies!

Basically, we can thank Pope Pius XII for the "Women's Lib" movement, most specifically his little know Encyclical "Sponsa Christi". A 33rd Degree Master Mason could not have done a better job destroying the traditional role model of women in society. Now, I know there were women politicians before Pius XII, like that gal who voted against the US going to war in WW1 and WW2- I cannot recall her name- but the pope really wanted women in "the game", so to speak. His writing lit a fire under the convents in the 1950's, producing the "Mod Nuns" of the 1960's, who spearheaded the "Women's Liberation" movement. It was not long before they joined forces with the communist labor unions and became a force to be reckoned with.

I was there, in the '70's, and watched our sissified and emasculated bishops just stand by and watch the nuns push everything from "gender inclusive" language, which ultimately wanted to characterize the Holy Ghost as "She". (I guess they forgot Our Lady is spouse of the Holy Ghost.) They also wanted, of course, women priests, which the slack-jawed Bishop Bernardin would sponsor at the notorious Land-O-Lakes conference in Wisconsin. (Even Pope Frantic would have been nervous there.) In TV Land, Ward Cleaver was replaced with Archie Bunker, and Alice was replaced with Blondie.

That, of course, led to the free fall in the television of the '80's with such shows as Dork and Mindie, Miami Mice, a bizillion Happy Day's spinoffs, The Star Trek Next Generation Bimbo Injection...

By the '90's, everything had hit rock bottom.

And people today wonder at the absolute annihilation of anything even remotely resembling Captain James Tiberius Kirk.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us. You are our only hope!
