Concerned Women for America - Sacrificing Boys to Promote Girls

Concerned Women for America - FONT COLOR="#FF0000" CROUSE:/FONT Sacrificing Boys to Promote Girls

The premise of this month's article by Concerned Women for America examines the role of radical feminism, and its influence on the media, education, family and relationships. The article directly blames radical feminism for poor success rates of boys in education, professions, and relationships.  As a teacher, I have seen the push in education to encourage the success of young girls, especially in the area of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) and sports. Please do not misunderstand me, I think fostering the development of young girls is important, but equally important is fostering young boys to become responsible men; one gender should not be forsaken for the other.  But, sadly, what we know to be true is that radical feminism aims to destroy authentic masculinity and femininity.

How many of us, who do not consider ourselves a party to this ideology, have allowed the lies of feminism to influence our thoughts and behaviors impacting our communities all in the name of "girl power"?

Revisiting Old Projects with a Renewed Purpose

“Our problems can only be solved by people of character who actively and without apology take their beliefs into public debates. That includes Catholics. We need to be stronger in our public witness, not weaker. If we really believe that the Gospel is true, we need to embody it in our private lives and our public choices.” --Charles Chaput, Archbishop of Philadelphia https://www.facebook.com/CatholicVote

It has been over two years since I posted on this blog due to various reasons, but I think I'll be writing more these days and with a great partner, my husband. I'm recently married and expecting our first child. I have discovered that children have a wonderful way of igniting change even before they are born. With that being said, I recently read this quote, and it motivated me to revisit old attempts at creativity and potentially good projects. I'm starting a couple new projects these days, nursery decorating and nesting. Similarly, revisiting this blog and the original idea I still find of value, even if it is just a writing exercise in sharing thoughts and ideas between my husband and me, it will be worth it. For now, I hope the wisdom of Archbishop Chaput speaks to you and those specific areas in your heart waiting for new life!
