Do you understand that a woman who stays at home actually works?? If you wake up before the sun, and your candle doesn't go out by night, you work just as hard (if not more) than your husband who works 9 to 5. So his paycheck is not just his. It is both his and yours, equally.

"If a man leaves you, dies, or abuses you, you have to be able to survive on your own."
An older woman told me I should have a university degree and three years of job training to survive in these cases
I disagree. This is assuming a husband can't set up his wife well should he pass away. A good man can care for his wife way better than a boss.
First of all, you're only addressing ONE aspect of the whole "leaves you, dies or abuses you." Yes, a husband can make enough money to take out enough life insurance (for example) to set his wife up nicely IN CASE he dies.

But what about if he leaves?
Or if he's abusive to the point where YOU have to leave?
There are so many government safety nets women have before they are left penniless on the streets.
Those government safety nets are set up for people who either don't have a way of producing an income OR for assisting those who may be able to work, but only at low paying jobs because of a lack of education/skills. In other words, they're set up to assist others to get INTO the job force and become self-sufficient.
I am not against women working or making money but many marriages fail because of careerism. Family is more important than career advancement and that goes for both men and women.
SOME fail because of the HUSBAND'S careerism.
SOME fail because of the WIFE'S careerism.

But MOST marriages don't fail because of careerism.

You're also making the assumption that ALL women who want to marry and have children will eventually do so. But even though MOST women may want that, there's no guarantee that 1.) she will marry at a time when she CAN have kids or 2.) that she'll marry AT ALL. or 3.) that her marriage will last 'forever'.

I don't know of any exclusive 'feminist' groups that do that. But I DO know that within the Father's Rights Movement, about 15% of the members are women.

Just like how some feminist groups can be highly antagonistic toward men, some men's groups can also be caustic toward women.

Radicalism in BOTH spheres.
This appeal to equality is fact free and diverts from your claim of feminists supporting father’s rights.

Do you understand that there are many women who also want to be married and have children, to serve her husband, and raise their (not just "his" but their) children well ...and yet, also have an education, a vocation, a career ...and can balance those well? I've seen it.
IMy mom did it all and I respect her. But now its an expectation. And Im saying its an unnecessary expectation. Just because women can balance a full time career, husband, and children doesn't mean they should.

Here is Titus 2:3-5 for the Scripture calling women to be keepers at home in context.

3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

I was never taught this at any church. Christian women are influenced by feminism too. Just because a lot of people do something, doesn't make it good or a net benefit for society.

Beautiful and brilliant.

One of the evils of feminism is the appeal to vanity in glorifying women’s ability. When women actually strive to achieve ‘have it all’ they invariably are stressed and unhappy. Cause and Effect.

Evil Cause. Evil Effect.

You’ve done a great job of pointing out The Matrix where working for your husband, who loves you, and family is deemed oppression and condemned but working for a boss who could not care less, is glorified and praised. Sadly, many women don’t realize they’re being manipulated through flattery, their vanity.

At my church, a skit that caused me to leave began, ‘the best father’s can take a joke.’ This is manipulation in suppressing opposition to the insults that followed due to not taking ‘the joke’ is tacit admission you are not among the best fathers. Nobody wants to admit they’re not the best. To escape the evil trap requires humility.

And this is the price to be saved; to have the humility one is not an effective lord of their own life, that one needs Jesus to be our Lord. Humility.

Some should and some shouldn’t. It is up to the husband and wife to come to the decision on whether or not she should based off their unique situation.

Wait to the infestation at the end.


There are women who do this stuff and women who would look at the bats and go, awwwww.

There are women who breed tarantulas, reptiles of all kinds, feeder roaches, etc.

These videos are trying to act like there are women who wouldn’t do this, but there are.

That is true....not only did I stay at home and work, keeping the house and garden, looking after 3 children, when I was married...that wasn’t enough for my husband at the time...I had to work 2 sometimes 3 night duties a week...he never lifted a finger ,with helping with the children...or the housework or the cleaning or the garden.....

I was run ragged....Praise God, I don’t believe I will ever go through that again...

At the 4.5 minute mark the women laments the feminist dream of being independent and alone. The lament, the suffering, the pain is real. Can't you feel it?

A women' disrespect in the form of a joke in front of others ended marriage. She confesses her contempt as he explains its over. Disrespect on top of disrespect. She seemed to think if she disrespected him enough, he'd cave into her frame. Wrong. Sad. Sad dynamic. Learn from other's mistakes. This parallels the collapse of my marriage.

He had reached his breaking point hadn’t he....he’d taken it from her for years....I understand where he came from.

I reached breaking point with my ex....you just know in your gut when it’s over, well I did, back then..

You can only take so much abuse...we’ve all got our breaking point.

Of course a Godly marriage wouldn’t or shouldn’t be like that....because we would be led by God, as he should be the head in any marriage....just my thoughts.

New Study. Feminism leads to loneliness epidemic among women, over-relying on social media to cope makes problem worse. At end of vid, a merciless woman advises not to be friends with a woman who has no friends. Very sad.

Leads to 'loneliness' among SOME women. And yes...both MEN and women these days rely heavily on social media...including YOURSELF, Wrangler.

Women in general are also advised to be wary of a man who has no friends. That's because he will rely on YOU to be HIS ONLY friend.

And my goodness....if a woman has more friends than a man...........

Exactly. Saw a video today about an ALL FEMALE ROOFING COMPANY today.

If THAT'S what those women enjoy...if THAT'S what they want to do,

...why would anyone try to STOP them?
