Comments on: Feminism: Throwing Logic Out the Window http://www.generationcedar.com/main/2008/08/feminism-throwing-logic-out-window.html Mon, 06 Sep 2010 14:05:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: April - Team Tottle http://www.generationcedar.com/main/2008/08/feminism-throwing-logic-out-window.html/comment-page-1#comment-10781 April - Team Tottle Wed, 13 May 2009 05:23:10 +0000 http://www.generationcedar.com/main/2008/08/feminism-throwing-logic-out-the-window.html#comment-10781 Kelly, I find your writing to be pretty amazing. I don't find you cold or cruel at all. I agree that we need more women like you guiding the misguided christian women. I wish life was like it was 50 years ago. I think I may possibly be the only stay at home mom on my street! I quit a career to stay home with my son and now daughter and I still struggle with all the pride issues. I know this is the place for me to be and I want to be here but I do struggle with being valued, etc. Society turns their nose at stay at home moms. I think one of the many negative effects of feminism is that most mothers don't know how to "keep home". I am a prime example and I struggle with this every day. I did well at my job, I was climbing the ladder, etc. But I don't fare well as a mother. I find it extremely challenging and feel defeated almost daily. I am hoping praying and working toward becoming the wife/mother that God wants me to be. Feminism angers me because so much was ingrained in me that I am now trying to fight against to live the life God chose for me. Kelly,

A point to remember is that feminism stems from communism. You woman are another worker so you're not a useless eater at home...your baby needs to go into the state day care program and we need you back on the production line makeing the oligarcs rich. In reality women haven't been freed from the bonds of home making...we all still do it even if we now maybe get help from our husbands. I believe that at least among conservative Christians of the 17/18 hundreds that there were publications encouraging husbands to be good househusbands managing and delegating to the wife in the home. This was prior to feminism. Husbands realised their wives needed help in running a large (not by yesterdays standards...although 20 was still big then) family. I think feminism has made our husbands colder towards us (women.) It makes sense...if we don't need their help because we can do it all then they won't give it for fear of being biffed in the nose. My post is also long...I do appologise...I don't often do this sort of thing...I have trouble managing my 7 and homeschooling as it is. Sorry I keep thinking of other things also.

Titus 2 tells us that when a woman doesn't keep at home (which is in line with Prov. where it says it's a strange woman whose feet abide not in her own house) that she is BLASPHEMING the Word of God. Harsh also I know. Oh yeah something I forgot to add.

John the Baptist named Herod for committing adultery with Phillip his brother's wife (Herodias.) I am aware of a few times where Paul personally named people who he felt other Christians needed to be warned about. John the Baptist "o generation of vipers,who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?" So you see what the truthful thing to do was and thus the only loving thing. When the diciples were commissioned to go from house to house taking the message of the Gosple they were told to wipe the dust off their feet as a witness against them who would not accept the message. Sounds harsh in our "that's great for you but not for me" age of immoral relativism. Just my .2c New here so not exactly sure what this is all about...a friend emailed the link:-) I believe there was sympathy in the post.

I'm a work-a-holic by nature... a busy body. I could easily be one of those mom's who could say, "I would go crazy staying home, I have to work." Instead I use my talents and gifts to work from home. I am a Director for women's and children's shelter, but I have a house supervisor who deals with the daily needs of our clients and I take care of administrative areas from my home office. I balance that around homeschooling my kids. This is a very delicate balance act and I'm always going to the Father to ask for guidance. I have a seperate homeschool area where the kids and I disappear for hours enjoying eachother during our "table-time". I finally have a wonderful rythm that allows me to use my gifts and stay home and continue to minister to my family first. If my working ministry ever came before my family I would quite. As a matter of fact I will be quiting when my two adopted children come home next year. Just my thoughts... www.haitiadoptions.blogspot.com<br/>:-) EMMA Bravo!!

It's not an usual thing for a woman with triples to decide to not to stay home with her children. It seems like this woman wants perhaps too much at once. She ought to have some time to stay at home with them. It's up to her if she wants to divide the time with her husband, but the children need to have contacs and growing bounds with both of their parents. I would say that it's a good idea to place the children in a kindergarten eventually, just because I believe it's a good thing for children to meet other children and learn from them. That's the best way to tell the children to respect and appreciate each other from the start, when they see that some children are black, som are not, some children are muslim, some are not. Also it has been shown that the children's language developes the best in interaction with other children.

If you ask any mother what he most precious possession is she will most likely respond that it is her children. So why then do we allow our most precious possessions to be cared for by others? I would be bet that many spend more time, effort, and thought in deciding who will manage their stocks then they do their own children. At least I know this is how it was for me before I learned of the Lord's calling on my life. Kelly,
