Breaking news: Women’s rights have now been expanded—the Pentagon has lifted its military ban on women serving in combat. This is “equality” taken to another level, and placing all concerned in jeopardy. While woman have always played important roles in the military, this move brings to question how much we respect the sanctity of womanhood and its right to be protected. The desire for women to rub out gender distinctions has only served to hinder their true freedom. And under the pressure of political correctness and ignorance, men have helped to push this misguided agenda.
The confusion of the sexes and their uniqueness has brought us to a crisis. To subject our women to front-line combat is not only irresponsible, but is disrespectful to the female gender. Men and women are not “equal”, and to deny that fact is to display practical ignorance and jeopardize their rights and safety.
As a seasoned citizen, it’s been painful to watch the trend of the sexes. God made a man and a woman distinct for a specific purpose. To deny this distinction can only promote confusion, and do great harm to the human race. Women are trying to be masculine, while men are becoming effeminate. And if homosexuality and lesbianism take over, we’ll be sterile and unproductive. Even the animals at the zoo “understand” this concept.
A husband and wife in a home setting, raising up children to be mature adults is indeed a normal concept, or at least has been until more recently. Failure here explains why our nation is rapidly being destroyed from within. The “weapons of mass destruction” are not in Iraq
The lie of evolution has attempted to rub out the line between the sexes, and instead of “liberation” we have bondage. With the way God made us hormonally, does it make sense to disregard sexual temptation when placing 500 female sailors on a battle ship with 1800 men? How wise is it to let a male and female soldier share a “fox hole” in a combat zone, and think that there’ll be no “hanky- panky?” Then when illicit sexual activity and pregnancies occur, we scratch our heads. Where’s the common sense in all this?
I saw this trend coming when females were enrolled at West point . That is not being critical of women, but rather to be realistic about what’s best for young men training to be military leaders. Few would deny that the integration of the sexes in such an intense program poses great temptation and compromise. This same principle was true in the older days when boys and girls went to separate high schools and colleges. This was equality in action, granting young people the opportunity to be educated and matured without distraction. The social life came into play, but never as a substitute for hard work and career preparation. Love and marriage followed in due time; new families were established, and the cycle was repeated.
This whole concept seems to be thrown to the wind. Men protected women, treating them with respect and concern. When married, he became the bread-winner, while she was the home-maker. There was no competition, but a loving cooperation. Mom was the “queen” of the castle, while Dad brought home the “bacon.” Both were on the same team, working together for the total welfare of their family. There was no substitute for a Mom or a Dad---both were essential.
In the 1960s home life began to change, with more “moms” working outside of the home. Finances were a factor, especially since the “baby-boomers” were starting college. In addition, the spirit of rebellion moved through our country, with increasing issues with authority. It was the era of heavy metal and hard rock music which has greatly affected our society to this day. In addition, the Bible was thrown out of the public arena, and the Woodstock Viet Nam
Getting back to women in combat; this was unheard of in all precious wars, not just because of physical inferiority, but because men have felt responsible to take the lead in battle, without subjecting females to such danger. Men attempted to protect a woman’s freedom to perform what God called here to do; for no man can do what a woman does, and every honest husband knows by experience that a faithful wife is stronger than he is. To be the family provider is built into men; that’s why a man who doesn’t work is discontent, no how much unemployment he collects.
A true woman, who may work outside from necessity, yet really desires to be a homemaker and a mother. That’s why so many “women libbers” who appear to have no use for men, still want to have children after their “career” begins to wane. God put that desire in their heart! Now we’re attempting to make normal what use to be abnormal. Even animals are content in their environment. They are doing what God created them to do; a fish is content in the pond, and will die out of the water. So many men and women are like “a fish out of water,” not satisfied in their God-given situation and purpose.
It’s time to stop the insanity and get back to what God intended for both men and women. Both are equal in God’s sight, but with different roles to perform; one is not any less important than the other. When men can start having babies, then I’ll consider applying for “men’s liberation.”
