    Liberals Lied to Me - Joanna Chestnut

    CHAPTER 1

    LIBERALS LIED TO ME

    1. They told me that I, as a woman was a victim of male domination. Men, especially white men, were my enemy and the cause of all the evil in the world. I was encouraged to fear and hate these sexist male oppressors.

    2. They taught me that men believe they are far too superior and macho to do dishes, prepare food, or take care of children (women’s work). Men are basically male chauvinist pigs.

    3. Don’t allow men to open doors for you, pull out your chair or pick up the tab on dates. These are ancient forms of chivalry that only serve to further the notion that women are weak and helpless.

    4. They let me know that I could sleep around, and it wouldn’t affect me emotionally. If men could be promiscuous, so could women. After all, sex is just another bodily function, right? Casual sex is cool—no attachments, no consequences.

    5. They told me that having sex outside of marriage was no big deal and everyone was doing it. They said: If it feels good, do it. or love the one you’re with.

    6. They said that I could prevent pregnancy and STD’s if I practiced safe sex, which meant taking birth control pills or using a condom. But, if I did get pregnant, I could easily get an abortion, and I could walk away with no ramifications.

    7. They misled me by failing to inform me that adoption was a much better choice than abortion. Instead they led me to believe that abortion was a quick fix to a big problem, and that adoption was a much more painful choice.

    8. They convinced me that the traditional family—mother, father and children—was old fashioned, sexist and misogynistic. The nuclear family was not relevant anymore, and in fact was oppressive towards women.

    9. They implied that single motherhood was heroic and the wave of the future. Children didn’t really need a father in the home, or at all for that matter.

    10.  Recently, liberals claimed that there are at least 50 different genders for humans in society. People can be gender fluid, and children should have the option to choose their own gender. In fact, New York State recently changed birth certificate forms to include a checkbox for parents to check gender x if they determine their child is neither male nor female. A college student recently argued that there are actually over 100 genders, and if I disagree with her, I am oppressive and a fascist.[2]

    Yes, liberals lied to me, and I fell for almost all of it. I was an impressionable 17-year old, a freshman in college, when I was first introduced to the Women’s Liberation Movement and the Democratic Party. I was drawn to the idea that men and women should be treated equally in all aspects of life. I loved the Democratic Party and their anti-war message. I called myself a liberal and a feminist for many years thereafter.

    But today I have left the Democratic Party. Starting in early 2012, I started waking up to the fact that I had been deceived, even betrayed by the liberal left. For the next 5 years I experienced a major transformation in my ideology. I am now a conservative woman and an Independent voter. I’d like to dispel these 10 liberal lies about feminism and share what I have now come to know as the truth:

    1. They told me that I, as a woman was a victim of male domination. Men, especially white men, were my enemy and the cause of all the evil in the world. I was encouraged to fear and hate these sexist male oppressors.

    Yes, we live in a patriarchal society where males/fathers are considered leaders and heads of the family and where family lineage passes on through men. But this doesn’t mean that men are superior to women or want to oppress us. Truth is that men and women are equal, but different. Historically, males have been the protectors of women and children and the principal providers for the family. The healthy impact of the Women’s Movement was that we challenged traditional gender roles. Today, husbands and wives can govern their family as a partnership, complimenting each other’s strengths and abilities. This also lessens the stress on men having to be solely responsible for the support of the family, although some men take great pride in providing for their families.

    As to the bias against white men, if racism is defined as treating people differently based solely on the color of their skin, then isn’t all the blame and animosity hurled at white men just as racist as it would be against a person of any other color or race?

    2. They taught me that men believe they are far too superior and macho to do dishes, prepare food or take care of children (women’s work). Men are basically male chauvinist pigs.

    Not all men believe that a woman’s place is in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant. If women make it clear to a man prior to co-habitating that household chores will be shared, most men will oblige. It is vital for couples to agree on a division of labor regarding roles and responsibilities before they set up a household together. If a woman earns her man’s respect by being open and honest, communicating her desires simply and clearly, she will discover he is a willing partner.

    3. Don’t allow men to open doors for you, pull out your chair or pick up the tab on dates. These are ancient forms of Chivalry that only serve to further the notion that women are weak and helpless.

    The truth is that women used to insist on men’s honor. They did this by dressing like ladies and setting limits on romantic and sexual interactions. It is obvious to me that women have all the power in relationships if they just knew how to use it. She lets him know how much hugging, kissing, touching she wants. He may try for more, but if she makes it very clear she is saving sex for marriage, then he can decide to either respect her limits or walk away. When a woman acts like a lady, a man is encouraged to behave like a gentleman. As a conservative woman, I love it when a man is polite and shows his respect by opening a door for me or helping me with my coat. Men are happy to protect our honor and respect us if we clearly communicate what we want, not only by what we say but by our behavior too. We need to be Ladies and Gentlemen again.

    4. They told me I could sleep around, and it wouldn’t affect me emotionally. If men could be promiscuous, so could women. After all, sex is just another bodily function. Casual sex is cool—no attachments, no consequences.

    The Women’s Liberation Movement set up a social climate where women are supposed to be just like men when it comes to sex. But the truth is, men and women are hard-wired differently, particularly when it comes to matters of the heart and love making. Guys may be able to have casual sex without forming an emotional attachment, but girls place a lot more meaning on the intimacy. Our young women were thrust into the modern hook-up culture without being emotionally equipped to handle it. After several one-night stands, a woman can become jaded, believing that men are cold and heartless. Truth is: If a woman persists in delaying sexual intercourse until an emotional bond is formed, she protects herself from heartbreak. She also avoids the cynical notion that all men are pigs and deserving of her loathing.

    5. Liberals told me that having sex outside of marriage was no big deal and everyone was doing it. They said: If it feels good, do it. or love the one you’re with.

    In truth, sex outside of marriage never benefited anyone. Sex before marriage cheapens both the participants and the experience itself. Moreover, someone always gets hurt, whether it is the lovers, the spouses, and/or the children involved. This is the casual or meaningless sex that has become so prevalent in our society. In fact, on some campuses today, it is customary for girls to request a check-up phone call following a hook-up to prevent her from feeling totally uncared for and abandoned. Is this what we’ve been reduced to? Isn’t there a better way for men and women to interact?

    6. They told me I could prevent pregnancy and STD’s if I practiced safe sex, which meant taking birth control pills or using a condom. But, if I did get pregnant, I could easily get an abortion, and I could walk away with no ramifications.

    First of all, contracting a sexually transmitted disease (STD) or discovering you are accidently pregnant are devastating events in anyone’s life. The truth is that condoms do not protect against all STDs, and your life can be permanently altered by the HIV virus, AIDS, and the Human Papilloma Virus. Moreover, under-treated Gonorrhea can cause permanent sterility in women.[3]  The only sure way to prevent these harmful consequences is to abstain from sexual activity until you are in a committed relationship, and you can trust that both of you are healthy and free from disease.

    The truth is that abortion, even in the first trimester of pregnancy, leaves a woman grief-stricken and depressed. There was a life growing inside you, and you made the decision
