DYSPEPSIA GENERATION

The Other McCain doesn’t seem to think so.

Dan Collins called Thursday night and, among other things, we talked about how politically correct revisionist history has convinced young people that the past was a hateful and benighted era, furnished wall-to-wall with racism, sexism, homophobia and other forms of oppression.

If you surveyed liberals and asked them, “What was the most evil time and place in human history?” they would almost certainly name Germany under Hitler, but America during the 1950s would be a close second.

I remember that period as being less troublesome than what we have today. Fewer busybodies wandering around poking their noses into other people’s business, certainly.

There are many liberal couples who, when inevitably confronted with what economists would call the “division of labor” dilemma, choose to apportion their marital obligations in a more or less traditional fashion: Husband as father/breadwinner, wife as mother/homemaker.

From time to time, a liberal feminist will write an essay musing in semi-guilty tones about her satisfaction as a stay-at-home mother. These writers often emphasize that they don’t consider themselves as having abandoned The Sisterhood by embracing the “Just A Mom” lifestyle.

Such is the power of their indoctrination — and so pervasive now is the worldview they express — that these women writers feel obligated to declare their continued commitment to the intellectual abstraction of feminism, even while confessing their discovery that there is joy and pleasure to be found by living in contradiction to everything they were ever taught by Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, et al.

Funny how that works out. I am reminded of the arena scene in Monty Python’s Life of Brian.
