On May 1 Hiliary Clinton spoke at the Newmark Civic Life Series in Manhattan at the 92nd Street Y, New York. She argued that there is a “very blatant effort to basically send a message, most exemplified by Vance and Musk, and others, that, you know, what we really need from you women are more children… and what that really means is ‘You should go back to doing what you were born to do, which is to produce more children.’”
She later in the same interview bashed almost every Conservative Republican Woman when she stated, ‘well first of all don’t be a handmaiden to the patriarchy, which kind of eliminates every other woman on the other side except a few”. She mentioned that she liked both Liz Cheney and Lisa Murkowski. It must be stated that Hiliary Clinton is a MISANDRIST.
Walter Farrell in the May 17th magazine the IMAGINATIVE CONSERVATIVE begins to dissect the issue of womanhood in our age and time with the caveat:
“The status of woman, any woman in any age, is a concrete expression of the philosophy of life on which the citizens of that age proceed in the living of life.”
From the words in the first three chapters of Genesis, and from the ancient Greek Philosophers, it has been believed that there is a hierarchy that defines all the actions of man in every age. The Enlightenment Philosophers and modern humanistic theory embraces these ideas to a greater or lesser degree. We evolve philosophically through three stages—animal—”brute strength”, the human(justice), and the Devine (charity—Christian love)
In every age there have been brutal mean animalistic men and women. In each age there have been compassionate justice seeking people. In each age there have been Saints. The age is defined by who wins the battle in the ways of the time that the people are living in.
Dr. Farrell continues:
“Physically she is no match for a man; in an age whose philosophy is based on strength, she becomes a toy, an instrument of pleasure, an inferior creature, for the principle of such an age is that might makes right. She was made to live on a human level; on that plane she is the equal of the mightiest and the wisest”.
Historically—throughout all the ages the strength of women has been on the human and Devine planes when they can exert their talents and dare, I say advantage on moral virtues of justice (human) and Charity (Devine). With that idea in mind, the ages that have subjugated and objectified women the most, are those times when women have been most unkind to themselves. Maybe like I believe Hiliary Clinton to be an example of today, they have through their educations and life experiences, come to believe the philosophy of the age—though their common sense must truly inform them otherwise.
WE don’t need to go beyond our own common sense, our early Sunday School teachings and lessons in The Catechism to understand that in the human and spiritual realms a woman’s strength is in Charity and love for her family and her fellow man. But then we are living in an age when Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson believes that defining the difference between a man and a woman is “beyond my pay grade”.
Dr. Fuller concludes his thoughts with these words that I think speak directly to those like Hiliary, AOC Kamala and Michelle and Oprah all from the progressive humanistic worlds that look down on women who made a different decision about how they wanted to live their lives—”handmaidens to the patriarchy”
“To discover the status of woman, it is not necessary to carry on extensive research into the philosophy by which an age lives. No more is necessary than the application to woman’s life of the basic tests of human and divine life for a woman.
Ultimately, of course, the difference between an animal and a rational age boils down to the difference between the denial and the admission of the spiritual nature of the soul of man and a woman—JML If the vote of an age goes against the spiritual character of man’s soul, then the only basis of judgment is the material; the weaker must, of course, suffer. And the weaker are always the women and children. It may seem fairly safe to deny a child’s rights, since the child is, after all, quite helpless; so, the thing is promptly done by abortion and its cousins. But once the lie has started, it is hard to stop. If the child presents an opportunity for the expression, in a particularly cowardly way, of materialism’s social principle that might is right, why should the principle stop there? It does not stop there. We talk half-laughingly today of the battle of the sexes; but it is not a very good joke. There was never such a thing except in a materialistic age; even then, the war has never lasted very long. In such a war, on such a basis, woman always loses”.
Our side has never argued that women shouldn’t have choices in career and vocation. We will always believe that the greatest calling and vocation for a man and a woman is one of wife and mother, or of husband and father. Everything else is designed to support the nature and wellbeing of the family. Anything less is a form of psychological sublimation.
To call a woman who chooses for at least a time in her life a “handmaiden” is derogatory at best and misandrist at its’ worst. I think we need more women and men who have made raising a family their first priority in positions of leadership in all our institutions, including government. Maybe we should start a new political party THE HMP (Handmaiden Manservant Party. Our party slogan could be “At your service”
Like its’ ugly cousin’s misogyny and racism, misandry is a form of bigotry that should never be tolerated. Based on her most recent comments some people might be led to believe that Hillary Clinton is in fact a bigot. Certainly, no irony in her words spoken at The 92nd Street Y earlier this month!
