Not written by me, but written by my daughter, Teresa Hoese Thibodeaux in a post on a private family page. Not just bragging, this is great. She says:
I started to write my thoughts, it got pretty long…this is something that has bothered me for a long time.
It’s hard, as a woman who grew up in the era of the feminist coming out and strong, to see what it has become. All the things we celebrated, all the victories both personally and legally, “I am woman hear me roar”, equality of work and pay, having a career and family. ‘I can do it all!” All of which is good, and right.
But – somewhere along the line this turned into shaming, ridiculing, taunting, and now out right hatred for men as a group, in general. It was gradual and insidious. TV started portraying dads as clueless and dumb, mom was the savior of the day. Then boys were made to feel inadequate and bad for roughhousing and restlessness in school, “why can’t they sit still, like girls?” Why? (Because they are’t girls? And this is bad why?) Men and boys outlooks have changed too, they are well aware that women can do so much more than they have historically done in the past. They are much more apt, in this day and age, to do housework, take care of the children, cook, clean, and work outside jobs. So why so much anger from women?
Women that did break new paths, that did have it all, family and a career, we celebrated and encouraged. Now they are the norm, which is ignored even by feminist, because it is the norm, but it changed within my lifetime. Staying at home, regardless of why is now something that is envied and ridiculed, because somehow this is morphed into being viewed as traitorous to their sex… Envy because, really, wouldn’t it be nice not to have to get up and go to work every day? Male or female would enjoy that. Children have become something to throw away when they inconvenience you, (if men do it it’s bad, if women do it, it’s health?!?) nurturing is for the self and your handpicked causes, not your family. And the family! Who needs it?! Pretty much everyone, it’s been proven over and over again.
Never mind that society is different, never mind that women can be, are, as mean and selfish as men, never mind that we are (No matter how you phrase or wish it), on the whole smaller and physically weaker. Never mind that we have been given full and equal treatment in everyday life, freely and honestly. Never mind admitting that this is what we are all living and taking for granted.
I grew up with a strong female, and male, family. Equality was easy and a way of life. I didn’t realize this wasn’t the norm, that some women really did have to fight, tooth and claw, just to stand alone and strong, until I grew older. I saw it in my female friends in high school and college. It was something I saw and wondered about, I rejoiced when those friends succeeded in growing and winning at the game of life. Meanwhile the guys were doing the same, and it was just expected. I got married, had children, male children. They are more precious to me than anyone but my grandchildren are. I started realizing how hurtful feminism could be when they got into school. Female teachers didn’t like little boys acting like boys. We survived, they managed to figure it out. They are good men, the best of both worlds, male and female. They are strong, and love strong women. And they love their kids.
There are good men, there are good women. There are bad men, there are bad women.
So. Stop.
Be equal. Be loving. Be honest. With yourself and with the rest of the world. Celebrate our differences, our quirks, our individuality, male or female. Allow each person to grow in their strengths, be they male or female.
“She’s right: men should start standing up. And some are”. So are some women.
“But the majority will not. Indeed, the irony of feminist dogma is that far from being oppressors of women, most men are supporters of women. Men want to please women, not rule over them. So if women and society insist that men shed their masculine ways, well then that is what they will do. Millennials are already doing it.”
