News broke this week of a pregnancy pact between as many as 17 female students at Gloucester High School in the People's Republic of Massachusetts. None of the women are married and none of them are older than 16. Details are in dispute but it seems that some of the girls agreed to get pregnant, raise their kids together in "hippie fashion" and form their own little commune. They even used the same father, a 24 year old man who is reported as being homeless. Boy, did this guy go from "screwed" to really screwed in a matter of just a few telling months!
Do we need anymore evidence that the culture is sick and our country's future is at serious risk? I don't think so. This is yet another sterling example of "Girls Gone Wild" in America and gives a column I wrote last year much greater credibility. Read on!
"As American women slide downhill, so slides American culture" (2/11/07)
I have gradually become convinced that the unraveling of American culture is inextricably tied to the downhill slide of American women. In 50 years, we have gone from "Rosie the Riveter", the quintessential symbol of American industriousness and toughness to Anna Nicole Smith, a deplorable symbol of female opportunism and debauchery. This parallels closely, the conduct of such personalities as Nicole Richie, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and that pinnacle of personal behavior, Paris Hilton.
At a previous time in American history, women were its BACKBONE! The term "matriarch" meant a family butt kicker, who kept order, meted out discipline, managed the family finances and made sure the family was sound. Today, who knows that the term means and I don't think it's even used anymore. Does anyone reading this blog know if it truly applies to women in today's society?
How has this transformation occurred in a short 50 years? Well, I have my theories and they have to do with legislation from our state and federal congressman. Over the years, these folks have made laws in such a way as to shield women from the "unlimited oppression" of the American male. Policies on divorce, child custody, alimony and sexual harrassment have been crafted in such a way, that women are favored over men in almost every case! Thus, politicians who care ONLY about being re-elected, can brag about these achievements each time their favorite demographic approach the ballot box in November. Think about it, doesn't it make sense to ensure that your "bread is buttered" in a political sense? If you know that women vote in massive numbers, you would be STUPID not to write laws which favor this demographic!
So, how do we fix the problems with American women that we face today? Well, any fix will take a long time, perhaps generations to accomplish. After all, we took 50 years to get where we are today so we can't repair such deterioration overnight. A good step for our politicians, to cut their pandering nature off at the knees, is to pursue TERM LIMITS legislation. Once you take the career element out of legislating, the entire focus changes forever. Term limits were tried in 1995 but The Father of 9/11 vetoed them, for your information. Besides any legislative changes, the citizenry of America can engage this problem by talking about it and not taking part in furthering it. Avoid women who exhibit a lack of character in their daily life and report those who don't meet their daily obligations as mothers to the appropriate authorities. Female entertainers who set a terrible example like the ones I listed above should be abandoned so that they cannot sell a record or sell a seat at a concert.
The effort to reform our sick and broken society begins with EACH ONE OF US. The only requirement to join the fight is that you must care to take an honest look at what is going on and come up with an informed opinion.
