We've gone through the "Feminist Movement" and let's take stock of where it's brought us:
Civil rights? Mostly
The vote, the right the own land...? thankfully!
Equality in business and the workplace? Not really.
In the business world women are still earning 50 cents on the dollar compared to the average man's salary. And those women who have had success, and are called "Feminists", or who identify with the ideas of feminist movement, had to be willing to suppress their femininity and allow themselves to become... well, more manly!
With few exceptions, a woman who wants to be treated as a man, and respected as a man in her job or business has to be willing to sacrifice all that God created her to be. She must trade her grace, intuitiveness, beauty and nurturing in exchange for competitiveness and belligerence.
My dear sisters! The world is changing! Mother Earth is craving the feminine energy of which she has been stripped. So don't enter the rat race with a power suit and a gruff demeanor!
Embrace your inner goddess, live in grace and beauty. Nurture yourself and those around you through your innate intuition with which you were created! And teach your fathers, your husbands, and your sons to respect the feminine energy that is also within themselves!
This is our new revolution, our time to reclaim our power to create life and nurture health! I call it the Feminine Movement.
Are you in?

Actually, US women are now up to 77 cents on the dollar that men earn for the same work - woo hoo! And I would also quibble with the assertion that women must become more "manly" to compete with men, especially when it comes to appearance. On the contrary, I think that standards of appearance are far higher for women than they are for men, and a woman who didn't not wear makeup or dress fashionably (and traditionally femininely) would not have a ghost of a chance in the corporate world. It's perfectly fine for a man, say a news anchor or a CEO, to become gray-haired, paunchy, etc, as he ages, but a woman must constantly maintain her looks. Even on a dead serious news program like The News Hour, on PBS, you've got Judy Woodruff and Margaret Warner, looking like they just stepped out of expensive salons (and Judy Warner was actually a beauty queen), and then you've got Jim Lehrer, with those unabashed bags under his eyes, and Mark Shields, god bless his leftist souls, who looks every one of his 71 years. I totally agree with your overall message, but I did want to make this point.
