Hey Everyone,

Feminism

Perhaps NOW’s strongest argument is that men and women are indeed equal and ought to be treated as such. One of the many hard places to get stuck against in this discussion is the multifaceted nature of the organization. It really is true that the “want it all NOW” which makes it difficult to critique the organization as a whole. Part of NOW’s mission statement is a prime example of this conundrum, “Our purpose is to take action to bring women into full participation in society — sharing equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities with men, while living free from discrimination.” I gladly concede that women ought to share equal rights and opportunities with men. Yet hidden between those two innocent truths lies the dastardly word responsibilities, with which I simply cannot agree. Every woman ought to have all the same rights and opportunities as a hangman, but never his responsibility .
This quasi-agreement comes from an equivocation in the feminist’s rhetoric. The terms “equal” and “identical” have become basically interchangeable. This sort of equivocation may go undetected in the soft science of sociology, but imagine the devastation that could be caused in one of the hard sciences for such an inconsistency. Hydrogen and helium may be equally valuable in the sight of God and man, but any chemist would scoff at the concept that the equality made them identical. In fact, many of the tragic effects that one would expect from such a chemical confusion, can be seen in the dissolution of the American family. Castrated men, who behave like women, have given rise to women filling the gap that has been created, and, operating under the devastating equivocation, begin to act like men, and thus destroy their femininity.

Christmas Update

My mom had me write our family Christmas letter and this is what came out. For those of you who don't know my family, just imagine.

Hey Everyone,
Greetings from the Antkowiaks! It’s been a busy year, and God has blessed us immensely. Jeff is still young and charming, with a twinkle in his eye, and a spring in his step. Not to mention the grey in his beard. The business is booming and we’ve grown to over thirty employees (economic crisis my arse). Karen continues her benevolent reign as one part domestic goddess, one part shnazzy dresser, and one part financial savior, keeping the lights on and the employees paid at ADG. Morgan is flourishing in the first grade and loves nothing more than singing and dancing. She is also developing quite a sharp sense of humor: think half Shirley Temple, half Groucho Marx. Jordan is turning into quite the young lady, is happily working through her freshman year in high school, and would only be slightly offended at the term “self-appointed Diva.” Tyler graduated Summa Cum Laude from Rockbridge Academy and is now slowly being brainwashed at New Saint Andrews College in frigid Moscow, Idaho. Brandon married his high school sweetheart Ashley Dwyer in May and has also settled down in Moscow. As far as they’re concerned they are still on their honeymoon. In typical Antkowiak style we are all tired, but all happy, and all looking forward to the new exciting ways that God will test us and bless us in the New Year.
God Bless you all,
The Antkowiaks
