Two world wars radica...Actions have consequences. <br /><br />Two world wars radicalized many a domestic mater victrix. I see it in my own family of origin, and my husbands reaching back to our grandmothers experience of fending for themselves when a whole swathe of men were moved down as cannon fodder - a World without Men was created by men, for men and of men (and women) who have a very warped sense of what conditions are necessary for peace and flourishing. Mid century I've learned the errors of my ways, but you'd be surprised how many disagreements I get into with my mother-in-law (a WWII vet) and my mother (a rationing-baby) about it!<br /><br />War is evil, that it leaves evil in its wake is hardly surprising. Frenchman Bastiat taught the "broken window fallacy" over a century ago, but too many in the male bastions of society (the law, the financial services industry and the military) still haven't learned that earning a living from destruction is contrary to the natural law! You don't create wealth by breaking things...! We can't flourish as human beings by behaving inhumanely..! <br /><br />I still call myself a feminist: of the natural law variety, one who defends inate femininity as crucial to the ecology of a "planet parenthood" of souls yearning for the eternal home. Masculinists have a lot to answer for, a dearth of male bodies sitting in church pews on Sundays for example (manly men don't do religion...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
