Just like I was propelled to post the "Liberalization of the SSPX" thread the other day in the wake of Bishop Fellay's tyranical decisions, I now feel that there should be a thread dedicated to destroying the evil lies of feminism.
Sadly, some people here (myself included) have been thumbed down for speaking out against it, making me think that this site has a few feminists around. Well, sorry, but no matter how many thumbs down I receive, the truth must be spoken.
To start off, I feel the need to post the following article that was also posted on my forum, an article that is brilliant and incredibly truthful:
http://www.dailycatholic.org/issue/11May/may7ftt.htm"Mommy Where Art Though?" is a fitting title indeed. I feel so sorry for children who's mothers abandon them and go off to enjoy their own careers, which goes completely against what the Catholic Church teaches.
So now I'm going to destroy a few feminist arguments/questions in sort of a Q and A formart. Argumens/qustions from feminists will be in bold, my answers will be in normal font (I should note before I proceed that I don't declare myself an authority on this... rather, I base what I write on the teachings of the Church):
What are the roles of marriage for the man and woman, and why can't women have careers if they wish to?The Catholic Church teaches that men are the head of the household. They make the decisions (while still respecting the wishes of their wife), and they are also the breadwinner. They are responsible for bringing home ALL of the family's income. The woman's role in marriage is to stay at home and raise the children.
The main problem with the woman working outside the home is that it contradicts what the Church teaches regarding the roles of men and women in marriage. And if both parents work, then children will grow up not being raised properly. They'll be sent to Freemasonic government schools where their minds will be indoctrinated with pure filth, rather than being homeschooled by the mother like they should be. The Church teaches that the woman working outside the home is an evil unless absolutely necessary, such as if the man becomes disabled and cannot work. The Catechism of the Council of Trent states the following:
Duties Of A Husband
It is the duty of the husband to treat his wife generously and honourably. It should not be forgotten that Eve was called by Adam his companion. The woman, he says, whom thou gavest me as a companion. Hence it was, according to the opinion of some of the holy Fathers, that she was formed not from the feet but from the side of man; as, on the other hand, she was not formed from his head, in order to give her to understand that it was not hers to command but to obey her husband.
The husband should also be constantly occupied in some honest pursuit with a view to provide necessaries for the support of his family and to avoid idleness, the root of almost every vice.
He is also to keep all his family in order, to correct their morals, and see that they faithfully discharge their duties.
Duties Of A Wife
On the other hand, the duties of a wife are thus summed up by the Prince of the Apostles: Let wives be subject to their husbands. that if any believe not the word, they may be won without the word by the conversation of the wives, considering your chaste conversation with fear. Let not their adorning be the outward plaiting of the hair, or the wearing of gold, or the putting on of apparel: but the hidden man of the heart in the incorruptibility of a quiet and meek spirit, which is rich in the sight of God. For after this manner heretofore the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling hint lord.
To train their children in the practice of virtue and to pay particular attention to their domestic concerns should also be especial objects of their attention. The wife should love to remain at home, unless compelled by necessity to go out; and she should never presume to leave home without her husband's consent.
Again, and in this the conjugal union chiefly consists, let wives never forget that next to God they are to love their husbands, to esteem them above all others, yielding to them in all things not inconsistent with Christian piety, a willing and ready obedience.
There's nothing wrong with the woman working after she marries but before she has kids, or in a bad economy. And sometimes, she needs to meet her social needs by working.False. First of all, while the woman working after marriage but before she has kids may not necessarily be sinful, it would still contradict what the Church teaches about marriage roles.
Using a bad economy as an excuse is absurd. The only way this would be logical is if her husband literally could not find any work, and the woman had no choice but to get a job. And this is a VERY rare exception.
As for "social needs", a woman who puts her social needs above the needs of her children is not a good mother. Her children should be her career, not a career outside the home.
There's nothing wrong with the woman going to college in order to properly educate her children, or just in case she becomes widowed.A degree is not required for a mother to teach her children. This is an illogical assertion.
Furthermore, going to college just because she MIGHT become widowed is absurd reasoning. Even if that did happen, there are plenty of jobs available that do not require degrees.
It's tyranical for the man to be the head of the household.If it's tyranical, then why did the Church state that the man is, in fact, the head of the household?
Someone who asserts that it's tyranical for the man to be the head of the household is confusing what the Church teaches with what Protestants believe. Protestants believe that the woman is to love and respect her husband, but that the man is not required to love and respect his wife back. This turns the man into a tyrant and the woman into a slave. This is the opposite of feminism, and both extremes have been condemned by the Church.
To conclude what I have written, I present this link that exposes the dangers of feminism:

Communism is particularly characterized by the rejection of any link that binds the woman to the family and the home, and her emancipation is proclaimed as a basic principle.- Pope Pius XI
