My former daughter-in-law is a highly educated woman, holding two master’s degrees and a PhD in various women’s studies. She has authored many articles that pass for scholarly in today’s ideologically driven Western academia. Most of these articles, as you would expect from her degrees, strongly condemn and vilify “evil,” older white men. She is also a walking, talking contradiction
Her social media pages are filled with pleas and fund-raising campaigns to save the children in various parts of the world. Saving children is a noble cause representing the best of what humanity offers. So, she must be a noble person representing the best of humanity. Well, not exactly. It is virtue signaling. The same social media pages contain other posts that are so diametrically opposed to saving children, that it screams cognitive disconnect.
The other posts are all about Women’s Reproductive Rights (AKA abortion) and volunteering at Planned Parenthood to counsel women into getting abortions. As a staunch feminist, she is firmly in the camp of women ending the lives of their unborn, and wrapping it up in noble-sounding words like “health” and “rights.” She even has campaigns to fund the abortion industry.
So, to recap. Save children in other parts of the world. Abort children in her own country. Most of her children fundraising posts are not even her own, but reposts. All to look virtuous. She champions abortion … oops, I mean reproductive rights … to look strong and empowered. The great humanitarian feminist.
If you corner her about this inconsistency, she will become angry and scream that it is cruel … so cruel … to bring a child into this world without proper financial support and in such dark times. This, in the most wealthy and prosperous nation in the history of the world. You won’t see her campaigning for “women’s reproductive rights” in Palestine or Africa. The authorities there would probably jail her. Safer to do so in a free country that actually has the wealth and programs to care for children. She also won’t campaign for abstinence or birth control. No, just easier to end the life of the unwanted child after conception.
But wait, it gets better. She actively campaigns against animal control kill shelters, stating that it is cruel to end the life of an innocent puppy or kitten before it even has a chance to live. The same chance she won’t give a human child. Save the puppies and kill the babies. How can such a contradiction exist inside a human brain? It’s easy with feminism. She gains her identity from the feminist ideology, and that is what the ideology tells her she must do. She gets validation and praise from that group, and now the American media and society, for parroting the ideology. It also benefits her personal selfishness. She can look virtuous, using children as a prop, without ever putting in any personal effort to care for children herself. Even the fund raising in which she engages uses other people’s money, where she is at the forefront looking virtuous for trumpeting it. Two-faced hypocrisy.
Her viewpoint all boils down to one thing. Laziness. She wants to be admired as a loving and virtuous person, without putting in the effort to achieve that level of loving virtue. She claims moral superiority without having made any effort to take actions congruent with that, or really any actions at all beyond running her gums. Rather than doing good, she just points out why others are bad. That is why I call it laziness. Because her actions indicate that is what it is.
Certainly, everyone has the right to choose whether or not to have children? Yes, everyone does have that right and I enthusiastically support it. What I do not support is her trying to kill other people’s unborn children, while pretending to look virtuous. I also do not support her condemning women who choose to have children, by calling them “breeders” or other negative labels. Her doing so indicates that it is not about choice. It is about condemning and beating down people who don’t support her ideology. Why does she have to beat them down? Because they shine the spotlight on her laziness and evil. She will go so far as to kill the unborn to protect her false image as a righteous person without having to put in any work or effort. Call it what it really is. Accessory to murder.
Her views, if they are even her own, are just shams with the goal of identifying with radical feminist ideology while simultaneously appearing of high moral character … when the exact opposite is true. Her entire identity is wrapped up in the ideology. She automatically supports anything the ideology supports, and automatically condemns anything the ideology condemns. She is a completely scripted person. I haven’t seen an original thought from her … ever. Approaching age 40, denying anything about the ideology would mean she has been living a lie for almost four decades. That is too painful to admit, so she will just keep living the lie.
