Subject: RE: BS: Want to see John McCain Squirm? -Video
I watched it long enough to be very bored by it. Then I stopped. Sorry. Is there an edited version?
Is this a fair summary?
The "one world government people" financed feminism to weaken the family and get more taxpayers.
Is that about right?
I don't really give a damn who financed it, though I find the conspiracy theory implausible.
As a student of both economics and motivational theory, I would say that feminism, with the advent of birth control, would be both inevitable and spontaneous.
There is little doubt that countries which have fewer children and put proportionally more resources into educating those children, have much higher standards of living. The rise of the west (The US, Canada and western Europe), of Japan, of the Asian tigers and now of India all bear this out. Also imagine the effect on world population if there were no birth control.
There is also the matter of self fulfillment on Maslow's hierarchy. Though many women were perfectly happy bearing baby after baby until their bodies wore out and they died, many women, especially in today's society, are not.
I know of perfectly sound family units, where the woman is the breadwinner. You don't need a dick to be a good lawyer or real estate agent. It is a waste of society's talent to have talented women, sitting at home barefoot and pregnant.
The bottom line, my answer to Aaron Russo, the inventor of the bikini panty, expert on feminism, is as follows.
The planet can't afford not to have birth control.
With birth control, a woman, having only a child or two, is perfectly capable of contributing as much to society, as any man, especially if the man contributes his fair share of effort in raising the child. The family unit of man, woman and a child or two or three is perfectly safe as long as the man does his share.
