The Feminist Revolution Is Nothing Like The American Revolution
The French revolutionaries wanted liberty, equality, and fraternity. What they got was a beheading spree. Radical feminists want economic, social, and political equality. What they get is a world without traditional men and women, figuratively beheading the very society they are free to complain in.
To celebrate America 250, reflecting on what the Founding Fathers did for America can help us understand where feminism went wrong. Many people source the beginning of feminism to its “first wave,” when suffragists had some legitimate claims, similar to the Founders'. This wave was led by women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who had seven children, and argued that women could both hold public office and voluntarily be wives and mothers. When she married her husband in 1840, the vows omitted the words “to obey.”
