I think Graham brings up interesting points. The problem in the world at large is that this very conversation is forbidden. Just a few decades ago one could discuss this issue even though it might be controversial. Now radical feminism has so infected the culture that to even raise these questions is considered misogynistic and chauvinist. They have succeeded in silencing the opposition through caricature, name calling, and societal shunning. They are, quite frankly, and ironically, intolerant dictators.
We can see the same thing happened with ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity. It is now verboten to believe ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ acts are disordered, sinful, or harmful. Now the march is underway to forbid public questioning of "gαy marriage." What will it be next? Probably polygamy. Then, perish the thought, pedophilia. The left keeps marching and cedes no ground.
Feminism has helped create a society of kids raised by strangers if they are allowed to be born at all. Women are taught by radical profs in college and by society that full time motherhood is selling out.
A lot of what you say here, Santo Subito, reflects the points made by Mgr Williamson. However, it is not entirely women's fault, as Mgr pointed out. First, it is the LIBERALISM which gave birth to a distorted view of how society should behave, then through the years it distorted how human beings were to behave contradicting the natural order that God created. Through many years then, the men themselves, at variance with God's laws, corrupted society, became more bestialised, exploited women for their pleasure and, in turn, made women feel exploited and dissatisfied with their position and roles.
St Pius X, a man of great vision, published his encyclical on Liberalism. However, man (men), for the most part, distanced themselves from God, continued with their exploitation, and yes, denigration, of women and the Women's Rights movement took off (in England) and led women into the sad position they are in today. Remember, it was in England this first took off, though the French Revolution was the first event that put women into the streets in a role that went against what their nature was.
Women thought they were fighting for a fairer role in society, even though it was the wrong role they fought for. Consider and look back at those years, the Victorian era through to the 1920s, study them and see how unjust much of society was, not only for women but also for the working men. That was why another great Pope, Leo XIII, wrote Rerum Novarum.
Go back and listen to Mgr Williamson. He says very clearly that women have been filling the role MEN SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLAYING! They stepped into the 'vaccuum', as he so well puts it. Women today are not any happier, as they are so often juggling a dual role as wife and mother, and working mum. Women today are more exploited than ever as sex objects. And, no, no, no, it is not their fault, the men have lost sight of God and are no longer looking up, as Mgr said, but down, down, down, and their brains are so often below the belt (no, he didn't put it that way, but that's the truth of it).
We women must wait and hope that Catholic men will listen and become real men that women can trust and respect and look up to. Not dishrags. Come on men, look at the bigger picture and feel sorry for women who are struggling to be what they truly desire to be, even if only intuitively, and not what a Godless society has forced them to be. Stand up and be counted and don't be afraid to talk to other men, yes! other men, and show them through example and by talking to them, what they should be doing to improve society. Stop babying around and stop blaming the women. Be men! Go out there, memorise Bishop Williamson's brave words, and use them and put them into practice.
More could be said, much more, but this will suffice for now! May God guide us all.
