Women were liberated from the home, from their husbands, from their children - from having to bear children at all. Fathers were liberated from their authority. Children were liberated from limits, from rules, even their parents. And the entire population was liberated from moral and ethical standards. Yet it turns out that those things were precisely what held society together. "Family values" have been so scorned that we are left with neither families nor values. What do we have? Rampant illegitimacy and sexual disease, widespread divorce, and a generation of unloved, undisciplined, and uncared-for kids.

Please no Christian bashing. This is a not a directly religious topic, no need to be rude. :o)

Totally agreed! The original feminists would be horrified to see what has happened with this. They wanted "equal value" as someone else here put it. The original feminists, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B Anthony were against slavery and also against abortion:
Elizabeth Cady Stanton: "When we consider that women are treated as property, it is degrading that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit. There must be a remedy even for such crying evil as this abortion. But where shall it be found? At least, where begin, if not in the complete enfranchisement and elevation of women."
Susan B Anthony: "The woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed. It will burden her conscience in life. It will burden her soul in death."
Society through the TWISTING of this movement for selfish purposes - wound up with attitudes like this, for example: If men go to see strippers - then women were encouraged to go see male strippers INSTEAD of respecting ALL women and NOBODY going to see strippers of either gender.
Could go on but obviously there needs to be MORE women like the author of this question!
Women who are against radical femininism should be the ones having more children rather than all the accidental births by loose women. Then we could change the thinking of the world one child at a time - as they are influenced by intelligent mothers who want equal VALUE as a human being not the twisted "equality" to selfish humans like the resulting feminist movement produced!

You imply a lot, but have said very little and that sort of argument doesn't hold much if any weight.
You imply freedom (liberation) is wrong.
Freedom is a God given right that the founder's of this country recognized and attempted to create a governement to protect those rights.
Its the individual that makes the choices in their lives and no one else. Everyone chooses between honesty/dishonesty, right/wrong, good/bad ...etc. God enabled human beings with free will and you are saying all the problems are from the Feminist Movement. When and how did the Feminist Movement take away our freedom of choice?
Just because the world is not the why you think it should be does not make it bad. In the bible God always is testing people and weeding out the faithful from the unfaithful. Who says God is not doing that now. Maybe part of what he is weeding out are those that give up the gift of free will that God gave us.
Use your mind to find your truth, but don't be fooled to think your truth is the only truth out there. God has not told you everything.
What would faith be if there was no choice?
Does God want you to be a sheep or shepard?
Are you going to follow blindly because generations have said the world is black and white?
The majority can be wrong. Look at racism, it was accepted in this country for a long time so the majority thought it was okay to discriminate by race. Do you think the majority was right then or now?
OR
Did God give you the ability to use your mind to create rational logical thought to just toss it away and follow what someone else tells you that is good or that is bad?
I'm not a fan of the Feminist Movement, I believe them to be a sexist organization and sexism is wrong. However, first and fore most I am an enemy of ignorance.

You are so seriously wrong on this subject that I have a difficult time responding without insult. The feminism you describe is not the feminism that was fought for and not even totally achieved.
Please try to attribute the ills of society to their actual cause instead of the ones that religious zealots try to claim.
When religious people attribute things like STDs divorce and undisciplined kids to a social movement which sought equality and equal protection under the law for women in employment and everyday life they are mistaken. I view the cause of those problems from the undercurrent of a society which has lost its moral compass because the religious leaders have lost the reason for their religion, to promote the love of god and striving for a better life. The feminist movement promoted the treatment of women as people not chattel. Do not be fooled that the fight against the feminist movement was not due to a male dominated society lamenting their loss of power over their wives and daughters. They fight it today because it teaches women to be partners in life and marriage instead of subservient to their husbands and fathers wishes.
How can any leader claim that a movement is a bad thing which promotes individual rights and responsibility.
I think you will find that true feminists and men who agree have less divorce and children who are disciplined and educated.
Be very wary of anyone who tries to tell you what to think and believe. That you link some" jesus site" as justification for this attitude shows me you are person who cannot draw your own conclusions and must be told. You are a perfect candidate to be lead. Obviously feminism has been lost on you.

I think some people confuse Equality with Equal Value.
Women are of equal value to men, they are not equal (meaning identical). We are quite different, and i'm glad!

I agree with you 110%, unfortunately most girls today are 110% sluts. Who would have thought that the pill would have made such a negative value on family life.
