THE FRAUD OF FEMINISM
By Ron Asher
Modern New Zealand is based on certain truths but also on an increasing number of lies, e.g. the Treaty of Waitangi was a “partnership” (no, it was a treaty of cession), before the arrival of the white man the Maoris led an easy and happy life (cannibalism, slavery, infanticide – especially of female babies – human sacrifice on the death of a chief and endless tribal wars in which tens of thousands of them were killed), multi-culturalism is “wonderful” (it is subversive of social cohesion, undermines the trust and safety of a homogenous society, and introduces unnecessary discord – Muslims v. Jews, Muslims v. Christians, Muslims v. Hindus), DoC’s lie that its 1080 poison “saves native birds” (it kills all creatures requiring oxygen to breathe, including native birds), Jacinda Ardern is “kind” (the cruellest P.M. ever as she so enthusiastically embraced abortion and drove people out of their jobs by her unnecessary “Covid mandates”), the Pfizer vaccine for Covid was “safe and effective” (it was neither), and some people are “trans-gender” (biologically impossible). The particular lie that will be dealt with in this article is that the socially destructive and unnatural doctrine of feminism is so wonderful that no one should be allowed to question it.
Feminism started in the later years of the 20th century by a gang of women academics (mostly lesbian) in universities in Massachusetts, a state long known for its narrow-mindedness since it was begun by the intolerant Puritans in 1620. Feminism had (and still has) nothing to do with raising the well-being of women in general. It is all about getting ever more highly paid jobs for “career women” at the expense of the hated male of the species.
Feminists like Hilary Clinton talk forever about breaking through “glass ceilings” to get top jobs as C.E.O.s etc. but never are they heard to take up the cudgels for the hundreds of millions of oppressed women in Islamic countries who are forced to wear ugly and uncomfortable clothing, who are allowed by Islam to be physically beaten by their husbands, and who have inferior rights over a wide area. These poor women just don’t count in the eyes of the greedy, man-hating lesbians who run the feminist agenda in the West.
Like all false doctrines feminism is based on various lies, the most basic of which is that men and women are interchangeable whereas in fact they are complimentary to each other and not interchangeable.
This modern and artificial “interchangeability” of men and women has not only created much confusion and unfair discrimination against men but it has also undermined the home and led to unnecessary social problems arising from women putting “career” ahead of the natural duties of motherhood and the home. Women bishops, women judges, women army generals and women naval captains are the more ridiculous of this new and unnatural phenomenon – all that neglect of home, husband and children just to be laughed at!
The ideal place for the mother of a young family is in the home and not in the workplace. Women who recognise this and give their time to their children are far more useful to society than those who are indoctrinated by the feminists into believing that they can have both children and a career when, in fact, too often they finish up doing neither very well, thus failing in the most important role of a woman, which is as a mother.
There are, of course, some genuine cases where a mother has to work either full-time or part-time to help pay the household bills but in other cases, where a husband is capable of earning for the family, it is neither necessary nor desirable for the mother of young children to work outside the home.
Too many of them have had their minds programmed by the ideology that one must have a “career” to feel fulfilled as a woman. This comes from the movement’s permanent lesbian leadership who, not having children themselves, are incapable of understanding the nature and duties of motherhood (or even of wifehood).
The women so indoctrinated are the victims of feminism. So too are the husbands and children. What husband would want to arrive home in the evening from work to a wife still pre-occupied and harassed with her own workplace issues and too tired to offer anything for dinner except takeaways rather than to one who has had the time to cook a nice meal and look her best with a kiss for the husband and an easy drink before dinner? And children too. They need discipline and boundaries and a lot of fun, and these are more likely to be received from a full-time mother than a part-time one.
Feminism is such an artificial and unnatural doctrine that it can be enforced only by massive intimidation. In New Zealand the instrument for this dictated thinking is all the ambitious, young female journalists who think they can change the world by their biased reporting and indoctrination. So, what is the harm of women journalists? The harm is the way that they all think the same way and, by embracing a narrow ideology such as feminism, are not representative of women in general.
We saw this recently in the matter of the former Labour M.P., Stuart Nash, who had been selected as a candidate for New Zealand First. He stated that the National M.P. for Napier, Katie Nimon, whom he was standing against, was “lazy” for taking parental leave. She had taken SIX MONTHS off from Parliament to look after her newly born son. In other words, the voters of Napier were more or less without an M.P. for one sixth of the term that she had undertaken to serve them at the last election.
Even though Stuart Nash is hardly a political giant and was standing for a small party that was (and is) unlikely to take the seat of Napier, the reaction of the feminist dominated media was hysterical in the extreme. TV1 News at Six, which has long since ceased to be a reliable and unbiased news service, devoted around half its time that night to a sustained “hate” campaign against Stuart Nash for stating what at first sight seems to be a truth.
National M.P. Nicola Grigg, who also had a baby when she was an M.P., screamed (maybe out of guilt): “There is absolutely no place for people like that [Nash] in our House of Representatives”. What about his right to free speech? Luxon waded in in his usual manner of trying to ingratiate himself with the Left wing media by stating that Nash owed Katie Nimon an apology. What for? Telling the truth?
The job of an electorate M.P. – as Katie Nimon is – is a demanding and responsible one, and one is entitled to question whether the mother of a newly born baby is a suitable one to be an M.P. She comes across as a very ambitious and calculating person and doesn’t seem to have grasped the truth that, while anybody can be an M.P., only she can be the mother of her baby and carry out that function, which is far more important than being an M.P.
The role of women in the short history of New Zealand has been hugely positive as they were the ones who introduced and upheld the civilising influences that created our society on these distant shores. “It was the women who….softened the rough edges of life and helped civilise pioneering society. As the battle for survival was won and the settlers began to establish a home, rather than just a shelter against the elements, then the role of the wife became increasingly important. She both civilised her physical surroundings and set the style of the new colonial society, imposing the conventions and niceties of European civilisation on frontier life. The achievement, carried out when life was still a constant battle against unfamiliar climates, hostile natives, physical hardships, loneliness, poverty and isolation, was of very real and lasting significance,” wrote Valerie Bethell in “The British Empire”. (Vol. V, P. 115)
The pioneer women were smarter than those later infected by feminism – especially in the timing of childbirth. Biologically speaking men and women are at the height of their sexual power at around the age of twenty-one while the optimum period for a woman to give birth is between the late teens and the late twenties. In the pioneer days that was when most women had the bulk of their children. In prioritising a “career” over having children, feminism persuades young women to defy the eternal rules of biology and to “put off” having children until the mid to late thirties by which time many women cannot conceive while others can’t find a mate because they have become so obsessed with their “careers” that they have become boring to men.
The women of to-day who have dodged the bullet of feminism are the lucky ones and the ones to be admired. The caring and thoughtful full-time mother is the highest and most admirable state that a woman can reach – far higher than that of Chief Justice or Prime Minister.
