Look What Equal Rights Has Given Us

In the America I grew up in, I was raised to respect women and protect them. In that regards, there was certainly nothing unusual about my upbringing.

My father and mother stubbornly drilled those concepts into my stubborn head.

I was taught to open the door for a woman. While sitting on a bus or in a doctor’s waiting room, I was instructed to give up my seat to a woman. It is a practice I continue today.

Moreover, my country had much the same ideas as my parents had, seeing as how America wouldn’t allow women in combat.

Today, however, we are now enlightened.

We allow women in combat. We permit women reporters to enter brutal war zones. In fact, we encourage them to go anywhere men can go, all in the name of progress.

Recently, a pair of female reporters were sexually assaulted, while covering the news in hostile Muslim playgrounds.

CBS correspondent, Lara Logan was assaulted in Cairo, Egypt. Now, we learn that Lynsey Addario, a war photographer for the New York Times, was taken hostage and assaulted in Libya.

The Obama administration has recently expressed outrage over these incidents.

Isn’t that nice?

Now that these Muslim extremists know we are upset, I am certain that there will be no more similar incidents in the near future.

Sure, when pigs fly!

I can do nothing to protect a woman, if I hold the door long enough for her to go charging out into the traffic on a busy street. That is essentially what is happening in America.

Under the guise of equal rights, women are encouraging other women to place themselves in harm’s way, in order to prove they are every bit as tough as a man.

Now, women have the freedom to go to foreign lands, run by Islamic extremists, subjecting themselves to brutal kidnappings and sexual assaults. In addition, they can also risk tortures and beheadings, just like the male soldiers or reporters.

Isn’t progress great? You’ve come a long way, baby!

I would like to think that an American could go anywhere in the world, without fear of being harmed. However, that simply isn’t the case.

And it definitely isn’t the case in these crazy, barbaric, hostile Muslim playgrounds.

If you insist on going among the diseased barbarians of this world, then you shouldn’t be surprised if the diseased barbarians treat you poorly. It’s what diseased barbarians do.

That is why our country has a military. Long ago, we recognized that there are diseased barbarians in this world and our soldiers bravely risk their lives to kill them and keep them at bay.

Ladies, it isn’t the men of this world that are causing you to risk your lives and safety in foreign lands. It is your fellow women, bitter, hateful women, whose own self-loathing renders them unable to accept a world that places a high value on the role of those who are able to bring new life into our society.

My parents taught me to respect women, not because they were less than me, but rather, because they had an elevated status.

Our country used to value women. We protected them. We routinely gave our lives to save them.

When ocean liners were going down in the cold North Sea, men gave women the first seats in the lifeboats. Able-bodied men stayed behind and perished, so that women might live.

Real men protected women and women appreciated their protection.

That was America. That was a good America. That was a country that enjoyed the blessing of God, accumulated great wealth, and routinely made other nations jealous.

It was a land we were proud to call home.

Perhaps America would be a better place if we would once again revisit that place and time.

Human value, and where it comes from is at root. If we are nothing but exalted animals, competing for limited resources, then, power over others alone would indicate value. Since men traditionally have had authority over women, in families, and society, logically (in the exalted animal scheme) women were made "less important" since they exercised less power over others, since they were not the primary leaders in authority. Feminism then makes sense...to compete and recover that loss of value, which equals power/authority, in an animalistic, godless world.

If however, God made us, and gave us all special jobs to do--even while everyone has equal value--based on being made in God's image--we each have discreet roles. Competition for power over others becomes silly in such a scheme, as greater authority equals greater responsibility--standing before God someday. In this world, leadership and power do NOT indicate value over and above others, and every person can be content in the station or role of life given them from above.
