Ending the institution of family... why not look at what feminists in positions of influence say in interviews and white papers to get an idea of the real agenda. A few example quotes (that in my experience few women who support feminism ever realise):
Kay Goodger (Now senior analyst/advisor to Ministry of Social development):
"The family distorts all human relationships by imposing on them the framework of economic compulsion, social dependence and sexual repression. Our goal must be to create economic and social institutions that are superior to the present family. The rearing, social welfare and education of children should become the responsibility of society rather than individual parents."
Oops, there go your kids ladies...
Linda Gordon:
"The nuclear family must be destroyed... Whatever its ultimate meaning, the break-up of families now is an objectively revolutionary process."
Potty? Is this the view of the average mum in the UK today? Suspect not.
Dr. Mary Jo Bane, assistant professor of education at Wellesley College and associate director of the school's Center for Research on Woman:
"In order to raise children with equality, we must take them away from families and communally raise them."
Oops, there go the kids again. Now you start to see why these people have created lovely financial incentives to take ever more kids into state care. Increasing at the rate of tens of EXTRA thousands per year. Mums will soon be there alongside us campaigning when it hits them what's been going on whilst they've been on here and elsewhere arguing what a nasty bunch we men are.
Catherine MacKinnon:
"All sex, even consensual sex between a married couple, is an act of violence perpetrated against a woman." .... "You grow up with your father holding you down and covering your mouth so another man can make a horrible searing pain between your legs."
Errrr, just mad?
Treena Shapiro:
"I do want to be able to explain to a 9-year-old boy in terms he will understand why I think it's OK for girls to wear shirts that revel in their superiority over boys."
Any of you have sons? Like the idea of indoctrinating them with the 'fact' they are inferior?
Kate Millet:
"The care of children ..is infinitely better left to the best trained practitioners of both sexes who have chosen it as a vocation...[This] would further undermine family structure while contributing to the freedom of women."
Oops, there we go again, removal of your kids. But you'll be free of the little blighter's when they get there so that's alright then. Might even spell the end of mumsnet as, well, there won't be any if these loons get their way.
OK, enough. I could go on, I have hundreds of them. If only the average person on the high street really understood what's behind all this preaching of hatred between the sexes they might start to take a different view.
