February 15, 2010. Chevy Chase, Md. Women.

The young women of today have a somewhat precarious situation, which is as often the case, all their doing. The best part of being a woman today is the options afforded to her. One hundred years ago, the only choice was to be very careful of the choice of a husband because if the husband was not healthy or did not provide funding, the woman and children were up the proverbial creek.

The movement for equality with women and men on the job has been successful. Now women can work part time when the children are young and join the ranks of the employed after the children are grown. This is a good thing. What has not been so successful for women has been the so called sexual revolution. Over the years I have been somewhat fearful of women and their long term goals. Little thought has been taken by women for protection their future. A February edition of The Weekly Standard has just published a long article of current dating patterns of the young and not so young. It is horrifying but only reminds me of my anxiety concerning young women of the day. The feminist movement has sold a bill of goods to women concerning the similarity of men and women. They are not the same. Now the young women of the world will have to sort out the chaff from the wheat.
