“To a great extent the level of any civilization is the level of its womanhood. When a man loves a woman, he has to become worthy of her. The higher her virtue, the more her character, the more devoted she is to truth, justice, goodness, the more a man has to aspire to be worthy of her. The history of civilization could actually be written in terms of the level of its women.”
How can any woman expect a man to step up if she doesn't make herself worthy of the treatment which she demands? How can women demand respect and to be treated like a lady when they have lost respect for themselves and have sold out to the idea of the feminist sexual revolution, valuing unbridled 'freedom' over dignity, virtue, and true femininity?
Buying into the feminist view, women have turned their backs on their natures and pretended that they can be like men. Radical feminism has led us to believe that if women only achieved what men have (status, power, higher incomes, even promiscuity) they would be happy. Except that women aren't. Women's happiness have declined in the last few decades despite the fact that women have been achieving as much as men. Women bear the brunt of the consequences of the so-called sexual revolution. Women's health are more threatened with the effects of hormonal/artificial birth control on their bodies that make them more susceptible to infections (STDs), not to mention the risks of cervical, breast cancers, etc.
Women have let men use them, have let men make them an object to get pleasure from by willingly ingesting artificial hormones in their bodies that deny woman's God-given fertility. We long for men who like us for who are, but what about respecting what we are? As beautiful human beings with the gift of fertility, with the amazing strength and capacity to bear new life within us - imprints of God's very own nature in us that creates, breathes, and loves life into existence. Instead women bought into a counterfeit that promises the pleasure of sex without its real meaning. Women have developed an attitude of denial, even contempt, for their fertility, as something that gets in the way of "having fun". In the process, woman has welcomed the same attitude from man towards her body so that he regards the life-giving part of her as an obstacle, like it's some sort of flaw or disease that needs to be "fixed" or be "gotten around of". Women have made themselves and men treat the most godly part of a woman as a "problem".
The so-called modern woman has let feminism destroy the real meaning of her sexuality which God had put in her so that she could image Him in its proper expression. She has let feminism reduce her sexuality to urges that she must be "free" to express without the contraints of traditional morality, now regarded as "too old fashioned". She has, in her decision to be sexually permissive, written off God as "out-of-date".
We have made it easy for men to get sex without that lifelong commitment, the promise to provide, to stay with us, to love us unconditionally. No wonder fewer people are deciding to get married - the behaviours of women today make it so that their bodies can be used outside of a committed, loving, lifelong relationship. Men do not need to get married to have sex. Men no longer need to prove worthiness with the sexually permissive women of today. We have made it too easy for men. Women have become too easy for men.
So you ask, "where have all the good men gone?" Without real femininity, what has man to strive for?
Perhaps we should begin with the question, "where have all the good women gone?"
