Does -feminism- lead to neglect of children?

*This article is not edited for the grammar queen, as being a "strong woman" doesn't always require such keen grammerly skills*  Yes.  The women of the generation before us (well some of the women were wise in the generation before us, some were not so wise) were not taught to raise "Children" but were forced to live off of day-cares, public schools, endless activities that promote -self,-  dance-club routines which encourage young girls to be dancers rather than givers, angry women who do not know how to control their temper, women who do not model scripture (wise woman vs. foolish of proverb 14) so on and so forth.  Endless attention to getting a "degree" but no knowledge of how to apply the bible to one's life in a very real way, is a form of feminism.  Anger at men, whether the men are of the same nationality, culture and heritage or not, produces an angry women who is mad at "men" and figures not that her own temper causes her to be ignorant of the true meaning for her life......

Some cases of neglect can be so severe that women would rather go "clubbing" than attend to her children's crys every single weekend.  A foolish grandmother would allow this behavior to continue.  Other cases of neglect can be life-threatening as the mother fails to attend to basic needs (food, shelter, clothing, attention) which leads to mortality.

Essentially, by abortion practices, and angry women practices, women have abandoned their true calling to be "strong women."  The women don't have to be ignorant of tribal values or anything like that, just the general act of "forcing" a rejection on the spirit of being human and raising children seems as a crime by enhanced feminism behavior.

By historical perspective, children were OFTEN neglected more by the "wild woman" parents and sometimes by the "single mother" parents, than there were neglected by women who were aware of her condition to control her self.  Orphanages were filled with neglected children.  Occasionally the children were put into orphanages historically because mothers and father were ill, injured and other things where no other family member or community members could care for the child.  Historically, some children were called "adults" by the time they were 13 or even 14 years of age!  This doesn't mean that people in the past who still believed in "woman as helpmete" were dull or dumb in their thinking.  In fact, today, we may be no better than the people of the past, as abortion is chosen by parents who created a child and didn't want it, simply because adoption options are SOOO expensive and so many regulations and laws keep good godly parents from adoption. In the past, they could have easily had access to such options in the past by simply stating that they have farm land and a place for the child to roam.

****

On the other hand -feminism- IF it is grounded in WOMAN's RIGHTS according to the bible and according to the bible alone, does NOT lead to neglect of children.  Women of the bible like "Tamar" or "Dinah" who were once victims, know that their strength comes from the LORD and choose not to cave into the bad behaviors of men.  They choose to REMAIN in the position to be a mother(the stories do not imply this directly, but it doesn't discredit motherhood) and choose to keep their dignity alive despite the false accuser.

To strengthen one's dignity, simply learn how to keep one's own HOME in better condition, learn how to LOVE one's OWN husband better, learn how to keep a JOY in one's own spirit.  Try such ministry websites like: www.aboverubies.org

Yes, there will be trials in life, but to cave into the "negative aspects" of fearful feminism, is to say......Dear, Lord, I don't trust you........yet.
