Yes, Feminization of America Has Made Us Weaker

You can blame an earlier blog as the genesis for the following rant regarding women in the workforce and how such a tidal wave of a change "degraded" the moral base of America.

The saga of the single mom struggling to pull together a home for a child or children and try and hold down a full-time job at the same time has been a feminist rallying cry for decades. The fact of the matter is that an absent mom has led to a twisted generation (or generations) of children who grew up without an anchor and, hence, have been prone to wander into the very adult world of sex, drugs, crime and violence in droves.

This is not to pin blame on anyone, especially these struggling single moms. But the antiwar years of the 1960s, the Timothy Leary drug age, the "free love" mentality, the "sexual revolution," the release and analysis of Kinsey's sex studies, has led to a fragmented society where the underground lawlessness and gang mentality have greatly destabilized the entire country.

This has left the door open for the more regimented, disiplined and hungry Asian industrial nations to muscle in on what had been strictly American innovations -- consumer electronics, high tech, massive farm exports, infrastructure development and long-term stability, capital growth and preservation -- and hatch versions of their own.

Hard-labor, heavy-industrial jobs have vanished from this continent and moved to the opposite hemisphere, and much of the telecommunications field is now located in India. What does that leave? A lazy society devoid of labor-intensive industry, instead populated by legions of lazy and uninspired young people.

Now the Islamic world senses weakness, and they are moving on us in a big, big way. Iraq, 9-11 and the oil wars in general are only the beginning of sorrows.

America, especially young America, had better be prepared to accept and absorb hardship. It is at our doorstep and will soon be in each and every living room (for those fortunate enough to have a roof over their heads).

Time to step up. Can we?
