Dear Feminists

Dear Feminists, you do not speak for me. I do not need you to fight for my freedom, in fact, the freedom that I have has already been paid for in blood. Because men have fought and died for it. I am not under attack, I do not need you to claim that I am a victim. While you are out there branding each man as a predator, there are little girls waiting for their daddies to come home from war. You divide men and women, you do not speak for equality. You speak hatred, illogical, misplaced hatred. And because of this, I won't be following your movement. I am proud to be a young woman, that respects and honors the men in our society if they so deserve it. I embrace my femininity, not in the way that you do. I am a woman who dreams of a good man, standing beside me, not as a slave or a servant. But as a friend, a wife, a mother. I chose to embrace the things that make women, women, kindness, manners, elegance, integrity. It is these things that make men respect us. I enjoy it when a Man opens a door for me, or bids me good morning. As a little girl, I watched Disney movies, such as Cinderella, watching her glide across the floor with the Prince. He was captivated by her, not because she demanded anything, but because of the content of her character. When women embrace these things, we will no longer be divided. Retaliation is not what we strive for but love, dignity, and respect that has been earned, not merely given. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a woman being gentle, or staying home with her children, cooking for her family. In America, a woman can choose to work or choose to raise the children in the household. I cannot fathom what made women think that they are oppressed in a society where choice is everything. Scorn me for this, or do not, but some women are happy at home with the children. Having a mother in the home provides comfort and balance. This does not make a woman weak, in fact, she can be strong in her own way. Disciplining her children, achieving her goals and thinking for herself without hiding behind a movement. The sooner modern feminism is gone, the better. Women are not servants to men, no, they are partners. And if we are to be partners to them, how are we to make ourselves more appealing?

Without a doubt, it isn't marching through streets and accusing every man of assault. This ruins their reputation! The feminist movement is nothing more than a collection of women who choose to be angry, avoiding logical thinking. So the seeds of hatred are sown, giving the traditional men and women a bad name. It breaks my heart to see this. Taking chivalry and innocence along with it. No doubt, this is ruffling some feathers, but what does this teach young girls today? That they don't need fathers? That the world would be a better place if women ruled it?

If that is the case then why have we been together since the beginning of time? Is it so wrong to admit that we need each other? Why are women still marrying men? If men weren't needed then they wouldn't exist. Let men be men and women be women. If someone truly is a threat to your rights, then, by all means, take them on, just have the evidence to back it up.
