normally i use this blog to post updates about my family's life.
but today i wanted to use it as a venting outlet. i wrote this whole long post about feminists and how much they annoy me and how i dont get them. it got me pretty worked up. then i had to go to lunch and when i came back to re-read the post i didn't feel the need to publish my rant. i didn't want to start any more drama on my blog and didn't want to offend anyone with my harsh views of feminists. so i'll just leave you with this. this sums up how i feel about the whole thing.

I'm definitely not one to post my opinions on such matters online but I just have to let you know that I completely agree with feeling like that about feminism! (When I refer to feminism I'm thinking of those who take gender neutrality to the extreme, don't want to be called women because it has the word men in it,that view traditional gender roles as an inequality and injustice to women, etc.)
You might have already read this post that's been floating around but I thought these quotes sum it up pretty well:
"Femininity is something to be proud of, and I am proud to say that my Heavenly Father has endowed me with gifts that my husband doesn’t have, and has endowed my husband with gifts that I don’t have. But all those gifts benefit both of us. It’s an eternal principle that cannot be changed, even as the world changes. Even as extreme views pronounce that gender means nothing anymore because we’re all the same. But we’re not. We’re very different, and that’s what keeps humanity moving forward. God’s law doesn’t change just because the world’s opinion does."
...
"When it comes to women in the workplace, even in managerial and leadership positions–I’m on the front lines. When it comes to women voting, and having a say in every single part of government–I’m on the front lines. When it comes to women being treated with respect and dignity and equal opportunity to reach dreams and goals–I’m right there on the front lines.
But when it comes to the world professing that gender isn’t a factor anymore, even if it means changing doctrine or naming baby girls gender-neutral names all for the sake of “making her equal to men”–I take a step back.
Because I’m a woman. And I’m proud of that."

hahaha you're funny. Feminists are cray cray and they drive me nuts! but I think it says a lot about you to not post something. I always take a day or so to decide if posting a controversial topic on the blog/FB is worth it in the long run. But then I've posted completely neutral (or what I thought at the time) and have been completely ripped apart. Go fig!
You're cute Liam!
I'm super curious to what brought on said rant :)
BC I bet is good haha
Ha! I love it. That face says it all.
So feeling the same way! Can be frustrating!
