My youth was spent with these girls and young women. So many indoctrinated in this clown world faith.
How I wanted to hear just once from all the girls I knew or dated that what they wanted to be when they got older was a mother/homemaker. As I approached thirty I would say to any woman on a first date something along the lines of, “Although I can buy a house, I can never create a home; only a woman can make a home.” It never made any impression on any of them. When I was in college I knew a number of nice young women, all from good families, and I would ask them if they really wanted that career they were studying for (especially, since most students, male or female at that time, the early 90’s, were obviously not interested in learning); wouldn’t they rather stay home and raise a family? And every single one of them gave the same answer, as if programmed, “I want both the career and the family.”
Looking back, now in my mid-50’s, it is clear to me that my generation (Gen X) were indoctrinated, mostly I believe by their parents, who told them to have a career first and then a family second. And I think the young women were really looking for acclaim by becoming a lawyer, doctor, business woman. How superficial they were raised to be.

From G.K. Chesterton:
“The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected. Even when the revolutionist might himself repent of his revolution, the traditionalist is already defending it as part of his tradition.
“Thus we have two great types — the advanced person who rushes us into ruin, and the retrospective person who admires the ruins. He admires them especially by moonlight, not to say moonshine. Each new blunder of the progressive or prig becomes instantly a legend of immemorial antiquity for the snob. This is called the balance, or mutual check, in our Constitution.”
