Paul Craig Roberts \u2013 paulcraigroberts.org Sept 30, 2019<\/strong><\/h1>\n

My recent article, \u201cNo Motherhood, No People\u201d \u00a0(https:\/\/www.paulcraigroberts.org\/2019\/09\/28\/no-motherhood-no-people\/<\/a> ) resulted in some perceptive comments.\u00a0 Here is one slightly edited comment:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s sadly\u00a0ironic that \u201cfeminism\u201d has such disdain for femininity.\u00a0 Our society now heaps the most praise on women when they exhibit traditionally male traits such as strength, independence and excellence in STEM occupations.\u00a0 The woman who wants to marry and devote herself to being a good wife and mother, making home a safe and happy place to be, is ignored or disdained by the media.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s okay for a woman to be gorgeous and have lots of sex appeal as it\u2019s another form of power, but to devote herself to her family and sacrifice for her children, is now considered embarrassingly old-fashioned.\u00a0 It is universally understood that a happy childhood is the main key to creating happy, productive adults, but motherhood is being delegitimised.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCould this be because our overlords want to create a loveless society where every man and woman are looking out only for #1?\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMothers most of all LOVE, and good mothers (and fathers) raise children who are also capable of forming strong, lasting bonds with other people, and creating their own happy families some day.\u00a0 Love strengthens us, and the bigger our network of loved ones, the safer we are.\u00a0 We thrive when our lives are filled with laughter, intimacy, companionship, knowing that we matter, and that we will always matter, even when we can no longer care for ourselves.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOn a material level, when one falls, the others can raise him up, so no crisis need ever be permanent.\u00a0 For a person on their own, the loss of a job or a serious illness can drag them down so low that they may never recover.\u00a0 This is, of course, what our satanic rulers want: for us to be isolated, scared and vulnerable.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnother disturbing trend is the state intervening between parents and child and superseding the parents in determining what is right for the child.\u00a0For example, a woman who had just given birth refused the Vitamin K shot for her baby, and the nurse then left the room with the just-born infant, rather than letting the parents immediately hold her.\u00a0 It was 12 awful hours before they got their newborn back.\u00a0 It\u2019s part of a trend. Parental rights are being trampled.\u00a0 The state, we are told, knows better than parents what is best for their child.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI believe the ultimate goal of driving women towards careers and unattached sex is to destroy the family and eventually have children being born (possibly from test tubes) who have no parents and belong only to the state.\u00a0 Children\u00a0 outsourced to preschool, nannies and daycare, are not encultrated into family life.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The family is under attack from more sources than feminism. Economic pressures have forced wives and mothers into the work force.\u00a0 Formerly the rule was that corporations had equal responsibilities to the workforce, customers, communities and shareholders. This rule gave way to the argument that corporations only have responsibility to shareholders.\u00a0 This new rule was enforced by Wall Street\u2019s threat to finance takeovers of any company that did not do everything to maximize profits.\u00a0 Consequenty, today the only beneficiaries of corporations are shareholders.\u00a0 Wages are suppressed by jobs offshoring and work visas, benefits are cut, and a person\u2019s job can disappear without a moment\u2019s notice. Economic insecurity forces wives and mothers out of their role of providing household services into the male role of providing money.<\/span><\/p>\n

Child Protective Services, a gestapo state organization created by wicked \u201cchild advocates,\u201d has undermined parental authority over children. So many things now qualify as \u201cchild abuse\u201d that children can retaliate against parental authority by calling CPS.\u00a0 The consequence for the child and the parents can be draconian, and this realization by parents shifts power to the child.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently I linked to a Russian\u2019s view of why the modern family breaks up. He said that feminism has turned marriage into a power struggle.\u00a0 The woman seizes power by making the child an idol and herself his priestess, leaving the man as an economic appendage.\u00a0 \u201cAs a result, the entire family structure is destroyed, and the man leaves the family to find a place where he feels more comfortable. Thus the family falls apart.\u201d https:\/\/russia-insider.com\/en\/culture\/patriarchy-preserves-families-feminism-destroys-them\/ri27459<\/a>\u00a0 I have seen many cases of this.\u00a0 It is probably the main reason that middle class wives are becoming single mothers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stefan Molyneux on What Feminism Has Done to Women<\/strong><\/h2>\n

http:\/\/www.unz.com\/video\/stefanmolyneux_sugar-baby-feminism\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Molyneux makes some good points about the damage feminism has done to women.\u00a0 Unfortunately, to illustrate the damage he uses the feminist propagandistic portrayal of men whose interest in women is alleged to be limited to their vagina.\u00a0 Perhaps this is the case with promiscuous men, known in my day as \u201cwomanizers\u201d and to the English as \u201crakes,\u201d but most men want a loving, mutually supportive relationship.\u00a0 Men are really happy if their woman occasionally takes the sexual initiative so that they don\u2019t always feel like supplicants and if she is passionate in their love-making.<\/span><\/p>\n

Feminism has made such a relationship harder and harder for men to find.\u00a0 Indoctrinated by feminism, a woman regards her vagina as the source of her power, and expects to be paid for access whether she is a wife or one of the millions of young college girls serving as concubines to financially successful men in exchange for educational and living expenses. The college girls are selling sexual services, but the wife is also being paid. For example, her pay is her husband\u2019s acquiescence to her having the family decision making authority.\u00a0 She decides where they go on vacation. What house they live in, the schools the children go to, when the kitchen and bathrooms are renovated, who their friends are.\u00a0 The price of resistance is a cold wife.<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know how marriage is understood today.\u00a0 Once it was understood as a sexual contract for life that fostered faithfulness and legitimate children. Today it is no longer a sexual contract. The wife can refuse sexual access, and if the husband proceeds in the act, he can be sentenced to prison for \u201cwife rape.\u201d\u00a0 In former times, wife rape would have been an unimaginable crime.\u00a0 It is a new crime invented by feminism.\u00a0 All it takes for an angry woman to turn consensual sex into rape is an accusation. In these socially destructive ways, feminism empowers women.<\/span><\/p>\n

Feminists have so damaged the relationship between men and women that the institution of marriage seems to be faltering. Marriage is one of the essential glues of social cohesion. There is no gain to either gender from a breakdown in social cohesion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Feminism, large scale third world immigration, and identity politics are destroying social cohesion throughout the Western world.\u00a0 The civilization is really falling apart at the seams. People have some awareness of this.\u00a0 They have the numbers but are without leaders to organize the numbers into a mass resistance to feminists and identity politics, which have taken over the educational system and are enculturating the young with socially destructive attitudes<\/span><\/p>\n

For the entirely of the Western world, the end seems near in many respects.<\/span><\/p>\n
