Still Catholic and proud of it. Don't have a lot of rants like my dad, the ignorant redneck. Love being a wife and mother and have known that was my calling since I was 10 yrs old.

HMMM.....
A friend recently pointed out to me that women are undervaues and underpaid. I told her about my last post.
She told me it's still a mans wrld because men still run it, and if Hilary Clinton had come out and said ll the suf her husbnd did were her idea she would have been tossed out.
But that made me wonder: Is it true? Did no want her to be the first womn president because of her policies? If that's the case then she was just as unlikely to be electd as a man. I, for one, am sure I would not have liked her any more if she were a man. I actually don't like her at all.
Are women really undervalued, or are they just told they are? I for one feel undervalued because I stay at home for my child, s well as for my nieces to have safe child care. Does that mean i'm worth less? She hasn' t said as much, but I am sure one sister looks down on me for it. Either because she's jealous or because she really thinks less of me for it.
Is the work I do around a home less importnt than what Iwould do at a job outside the home?
What is the real driving fore behind this femanist movement to keep women out of the home? Why shouldn't we be in the home? We have a right to stay in the home and do what we re programed to do. Why is it looked at as wrong?
If my previous post seems angry I apologize. The news coverage really did tick me off.

Our Men
One of the headlines on the news the other night was about how much women get paid for their labor. 83cents on the dollar.
They also pointed out that there are more women on campus than men, and more men than women in the unemployment line.
Great! One big step for woman-kind!*eyes roll*
How much are the men getting paid for their labor? That was a conveniently left out question. Could it be possible we ctually make the same amount? What about our men?!
The fact that this was left out is very sad. "Feminism" is emasculating our men. There are whole generations now ruined by it. There are young men and boys of all ages who are angry and don't really understand why.
Our men are being left behind. Young boys are becomeing increasingly angry because they are being told they aren't as valuable as girls. It's in movies, books, music, business politics and in school. They are being told that, because they have a "Y" chromosome, their input doesn't matter.
Case in point: a line from "private practice"(may not be exactly word for word) "If you don't have a vagina I want you to leave this room. " Feel free to try and prove that line isn't there. I turned that show off permanently after that line.
Because of "womens empowerment" our men, our men are being left out of marital decisions, reproductive decisions, financial decisions, religious decisions, activity in any christian church in a number of contries and being told we don't need them alltgether.
We do need them. We need their strength. We need their practicality. We need them to support a healthy home life. We need them to make us feel safe. We need them as role models for our sons. We need them so our daughters have healthy relationships with the opposite sex.
WE NEED OUR MEN! You want real feminism in the world? Put your dresses or skirts back on.Throw out the sexy jeans. Get in the kitchen and let the men back into the workplace. Stand up to the space-bats and tell them you want to be applauded for being domestic. Demand recodnition and apprectiation for the men who work so hard for their families to have a mother and wife at home. Demand that our men folk be given their dignity as men back to them.
We, as women, have stood up for ourselves kong enough. Stand up for our men. Scream for mens empowerment.
Demand equl funding for prostate cancer, as much as breast cancer. Demand it for mens heart disease, and testicular cancer. Mens cancers get a drop in the bucket in funding compared to how much womens cancers get.
It is time to fight for our men.
They deserve it after 100 years of oppresion by self-centered females.
I love the men in my family. I am proud to have wonderful, strong men in my family. I will fight for them any day of the week.

Modesty and Chastity
This is something i've only come to understand with age. This is part of "the talk" I will one day have with my own daughter.
It is okay to be modest. Yes, some of the other kids will tease you for your choice in clothes, they only wish they had them. Some of the other girls will tease you about something they like that you wear. I know this because it happened to me.
Be modest anyway. Don't let anyone tell you it's not right. Even if that person is your best friend, boyfriend or teacher.
Be chaste. Chastity is a virtue ( so are patience and modesty). virtues do not have to be about religion, for those of you who rebel at religion.
Keep your mind chaste. Yes, it is possible. Even for a teenager or college student. I know they say teenaged boys think about sex so many times a day, that girls do, too, but less than boys. Why do we tell them it's okay when it's really not? Why do we not tell them it's expected of them to think about sex, when we really don't want them to think about it?
Teach your children to be chaste. Don't say " you'll probably think about sex a lot, but I don't want you to." Even if the parent was not chaste as a young person, you can still look at your kids(boys and girls) and say " I know it's better to be chaste. I know it will be hard, but it's better."
my best friend told me ( i was 19 she was in her 40's) that it wasn't realistic to expect kids to not have sex. I wondered why. Sure the ones I was around were taught that its okay to do that. But why? If you don't want to find out your kids are having sex, tell them you don't want them to have sex.
Teach your boys to save themselves for their wives. That it won;t mean anything unless they are married. when you are not married it really is just empty. Sure it feels good, but it still felt empty. Teach your girls modesty and it will be easier for them to be chaste, and for the boys to be chaste as well.
Teach your girls to save themselves for their husbands. Again, it is just an empty act if you are not married. I know from experience.
I was engaged to my husband for a long time before i married him. We had a child out of wedlock. It still felt empty. Yes we loved each other. Yes we were very committed to each other. But there were times that I felt used. There were also times that I felt like I had used him. Even with our arms around each other falling asleep, even when he took care of me when I was sick, I still felt like I was using him in some way because we were not married.
Teach your boys and girls modesty from an early age. At about 10 start on chastity. To promote both of these from early childhood have it a regular thing, in the home, that they see the parents being modest. Be chaste outside of your bedroom(I know married people enjoy sex). Continue teaching both through high school and college. Yes college. Once they are away from home the influences of the world are still there. You are still their parent, so parent. They still need it.They will love and respect you more for it.
Thankyou to my mom for teaching me most of this, even when I didn't want to listen.
