Feminism Is Not Ridiculous

Yes, everything about identity politics is vile. But bear with me. 

Political correctness has become so extreme, society is coming full circle. The weaponized fraction of the population who is transgender has forced the 51% of us with XX chromosomes to defend women’s rights. Yes, we must have women’s sports! Girls can’t compete with men… not even in the Oppression Olympics!


Ugh, can you feel the slime of grievance culture creep into our chat? All that preoccupation with labels and genitals? Before you insist that feminism was ruined by false accusations of sexism and the #MeToo victimhood circus (epitomized in the SCOTUS Brett Kavanaugh gang-rape fraud), please, come to my parlor and have a seat. Can I get you some tea? 


Femininity is what I think can save feminism.


Feminism is worth saving because it can be soft landing pad for ex-liberal women (oh, sorry: cisgender menstruators) like me. We can say, “I’m a conservative now but I still care about girls’ sports and female advancement worldwide.” We don’t have to be completely disoriented. We can say, “I’m still a progressive in that I don’t abide by Saint Paul’s injunction against women speaking up in church. Christianity is a bulwark of conservative values. But even the Bible can’t override a woman’s Constitutional First-Amendment right to free speech in America. And I notice the Bible doesn’t mention abortion once. It doesn't even mention gynecological surgeries. Is it possible that the world has changed slightly in two thousand years?” 


Feminism is also an essential defense for western civilization against Islamist terrorism, stealth jihad, and the Deep State’s use of Muslim separatism for black-supremacist violence like the murder of white cops and BLM riots. The physical reality of females (smaller stature, pregnancy, caring for infants and children, etc.) is a vulnerability that can open hearts to defend them against evil. We can stand against Muslim sexism, honor killings, child brides, “Eve teasing,” and being forced to marry your rapist…



(Sorry to have to share this photo. May God’s love cradle the hearts of all who suffer.) 

The Democrats’ support for late-term and “post-birth abortion” infanticide has repelled a lot of Left-leaning women. Who doesn’t know that motherhood is sacred? Well, did you notice during the Cov!d scamdemic when conservatives protested the (unscientific) mask mandates by ironically saying, “My Body, My Choice”? Preserving feminism can protect your body from totalitarian medical assaults like mandatory vaccines. The “right to choose” is something even liberals can understand.

Sorry to bring up abortion again. (Don’t spill your tea! Say, would you like a biscuit?) I’m an incest survivor whose dad choked a little girl (me) with his dick. So the mask mandate suffocates me doubly. Power is abused. I'm bothered by the right-wing slathering over the death of SCOTUS Ruth Bader Ginsberg and its threat to Roe v. Wade. Once a boyfriend reached in and pulled out my diaphragm, saying, “I’ll get you pregnant so you’ll really belong to me.” Yes, these things really do happen. And abortion is a topic I’d be happy to debate with you. 

My godlike ability to create life shouldn't end my basic human right to sovereignty over my own body. 

My body is my own property and I will deal appropriately with anyone who thinks otherwise.

To me, feminism is a woman being accountable for herself.

I’ve traveled the world, seeing first-hand the damage of rigid gender roles and oppression of girls. I’ve endured decades of the satanic elites’ exploitation of sex. I’m old enough to have had a mother who really was stifled by being identified only as a sex object and a mommy. We in USA can be free from that prison. Femininity should be liberating, empowering and fun! 

I adore the song “I’m Proud to be an American (God Bless the USA)” that Trump plays at rallies. But it’s a gut punch when Lee Greenwood sings, “I won’t forget the men who died to give that right to me.” Women like me risk everything to do what’s right. Must we be negated even beyond martyrdom? How hard is it to change the lyric to “Those who died”?

But thanks for the reminder that yes, I’m still a feminist. I think women count. Even dead ones.

I love men but find female beauty to be right up there with Mother Nature as the crowning glory of God’s Creation. So I’ll close with another photo of my favorite feminist heroine. May we wield our XX chromosomes with glee!
