The rise of pseudo religions and cults in the western world. (42)

Are those the rose coloured glasses you wear to see Feminism as a good thing?

You aint seen nuthin yet! (isnt that a song?)

AH Face, my dear younger man...see I'm auld enuff to know about a time when women were kicked outa their jobs when they got married, wehther they wanted to stop working or not......to remember when women were told what to wear goin to work..ie not allowed trousers....company handbook from the 80's "all staff must wear skirts"....I asked me boss if that meant the lads would be wearing kilts from then on....and he's still laughing!..to remember that until the 1970's, wives were still defined in law as "the chattels of the husband" and so a husband could sue his wife for "lack of service "! ....a wife needed her husbands signature to get a loan....and we had irish divorce....where husbands could go to the uk and divorce their wives here coz the wife's domicilary was deemed to be the same as her husbands...so many a wife and family were left high and dry and in poverty! see im very very auld altogether!

You were affected by the Marriage Ban when you were 11? Wow, I'm sorry to hear that

Women could choose not to get married and keep working. Many did. And that Marriage Ban only applied to State jobs. Women were neve barred from being professionals or working in any are of society is they remained single but yes the State, for religious reasons, did insist married women looked after the children and their husbands were then paid extra to look after them. But they were never property and that's a Feminist lie.

Back then a schoolteacher or Garda could earn enough to look after his family but today he and his wife are flat out to struggle to look after at most two kids. Who has 'equality' helped? Women or employers?

Hilarious you are! My ma was told that she should give up her job (semi-skilled and non civil service) as it was only fair? My parents werent well off by any standard. Choose not to get married? Not if they wanted to have children and show their faces outside the front door! And theres still remnants of that in parts of the country. Its all too easy to sit back now and think that things have always been the way they are now....
The husbands were paid extra to look after them? Where did ya get that from? Ya mean the tax deduction for a dependent?! At a time when many men paid 60% of the pound in tax?....and again I'm talking jobs outside the civil service and professional arenas.


Domicile and Recognition of Foreign Divorces Act 1986: confirmed independent domiciles of wives, recognised divorces granted where either spouse was domiciled.

the above was one of the most important law reforms, as this removed the "chattel" status of the wife.

Well then your ma chose to give up her job, she wasn't forced to do so. It was only government or maybe church paid employees that were affected by the marriage ban. I know Feminists like to claim it was them that had it removed but it was in fact mostly conservative traditional women in the ICA and teachers who got it removed.

But does going back to the 1970's to look for a justification for the abuses of Feminism today not seem a little 'stuck'? The Catholics who were denied housing and jobs in the north of our country at the same time then don't justify bad behaviour today beacuse of ancient history, do they? No, because they don't have then mentality of spoiled children.

ah you twist everything thats said! My mam was told. "Shown the back door" as they used to call polite firing. Anyway, I'll leave to your rant.

You checking me out minxi,well my label mmmm well lets say I am a person who views all forms of ideologies cults with suspicion especialy the so called ones today ie reiki aromatherapy t,touch astrology charts that so many women believe in,yes a few men do as well but mostly women ,do you believe in some of the latter?

na just wondered what you would label yourself as..if i was checking you out u wouldnt be in any doubt or have to ask.

and i think no matter what anyone is theres always someone waiting to judge them..

point of the matter is not caring what people think once you're happy..haters will always hate, cos they think everyone should be like them...and once people are happy and not hurting anyone ..well whats the problem. doesnt matter what they believe in.

you should stand proud as a christian..but dont knock what others want to believe..live and let live.
