The war being waged against women . . .

I go through my day a relatively happy person. I feel the freedom of being alive and productive. I am content with my lot in life yet the news informs me I  am having a war waged against me and other women. It all stems, in part, from the recent obama mandate about providing free contraceptives to any and everyone in the name of women's 'health'. When the Catholic Church objected to participating in something that goes against our Faith and conscience, the Church is against the well-being of women. I was two weeks late in getting born and seem to be late for the war!

If anyone has put women on the 'battlefield', I'd venture it was the 'liberation' of women. It was the burden of abandoning feminine attributes in order to vanquish manliness and take it on as part of our own female selves. Let's see . . .

We have been provided with all kinds of birth control so we won't be tied down to housework and too many children and can be in the workplace full time with marriage as a sideline. The trouble with that is it isn't a great way to have a marriage so women have been avoiding marriage in order to prove themselves as independent . . . yet they are dependent on birth control as their 'freedom' now allows them 'free sex' when and where they will without the old-fashioned chains of modesty and purity. Everyone is doing it so it must be okay . . .?

With the mental relief from that pesky modesty, women can cut loose on what they wear because men should control themselves and not look at all the bare flesh that is on parade. Impure dress causes impure thoughts . . . is it the fault of the males for looking or the female for the display?

Since women no long need/want the constraints of marriage, they can change partners more often. I remember when a first date had you wondering if you were going to let the young man steal a quick kiss on your cheek. Now you are deliberating whether you are spending the night or not.

Many women end up as single parents trying to cope with job and children. The children lose out on a solid family home. I heard someone complain that her live-in boyfriend wasn't being faithful and I had to wonder . . . Faithful to what?

If anyone is waging a war against women, it is the ones that tell them any and everything is okay as long as it makes you happy.
