Of Christmas Past and Feminist Influence

December 29, 2003

What does the holiday season mean to you? Does it not bring to mind the close family, and traditional setting, with a Christmas tree, colored lights, bulbs, tinsel, wreaths, children, gifts, Santa Claus and his riendeer leading a sleigh, or even other plants and animals in the realms of nature associated with the birth of Christ?

Modern society lacks a spirit that is not dependent upon materialistic value. A holiday greeting - "Merry Christmas!" - to strangers is no longer common, and hand-made gifts are not valued as those seen advertised on television. We've lost touch, not only with the true meaning of Christmas, but with the values Christmas represents throughout the rest of the year. Many families are now separated at Christmas. And fathers are persecuted. (Child support is more valued that emotional support.)

The birth of Jesus, represents our heavenly father, as does the father of one's family, with kindnes and nurturing associated - ironically a type of masculine image feminists claim only results from their influence. But we seem to forget this type of male image existed before feminist influence, and that women, and a society influenced by feminism, has faltered from the values we've had in Christmas past. Father's give security, stability, and a unification to families and to society. One might say that a family without Dad is like Christmas without Santa.

Yet, who are feminists - those who endorse and encourage hatred and cruelty - to say anything about kindness and good will? Look at what sick expression against men our society has endorsed by their influence. (The Dixie Chicks quickly come to mind.)

With the image, value, and individual rights of men being destroyed, isn't the image of Christmas hampered? Next thing you know feminists and women's movement advocates will be saying that Christmas is "sexist" - a supposedly negative term describing something beautiful that binds society by complementary sex roles into a great unity our society now lacks, upon which the family foundation is dependent.

Yes, Santa is a man, and one who is allowed his male role, with the obvious finances (a means of exchange that naturally evolved from the male's role in nature) granted to support his generosity. And who, as Jesus, is created in the image of God.

And Santa's reindeer are males too. We'll find that this sex role association happens in nature from which our human existence originates and self-worth depends. (Ironically, feminine selfworth is preserved for women, as well as their new masculine roles, with a lack of reciprocal social responsibility resulting.) Men's money went more toward creating unity, where women's money does not equally contribute to unification. The mating process still reveals this imbalance despite women acquiring "equal employment opportunity." Prejudice against men has been added to the equation that further prevents kindness, giving, equal desire, expenditure and unity. Men strived to support families when only one wage was necessary to support a family. Now, under the guise of EEO, employers are getting 2 employees for-the-price-of-one at the sacrifice of families and human contentment. Shows where society's priorities lie - again, materialist values take precedence over genuine values.

And based upon anti-social feminist belief, watch out for the mistletoe! That constitutes 'sexual harassment'!

Further endorsement of feminist influence targeting men was revealed this season in Canada by the idea of children sitting on Santa's lap constituting child molestation. 'Great! That's the spirit!' And this comes from those who pose to be authorities. Authorities of what? Absolute stupidity? By presenting these ideas, Christmas will be spoiled for children and others influenced to think of Santa being a 'pervert.'

Have a holly, jolly, merry Christmas? Unfortunately, there is less laughter now, for more families are separated by divorce, and many women have been influenced to hate men. I believe, on the average, those women who are somewhat traditional, and not influenced by the women's movement, are more considerate, trustworthy and conscientious, whether it's in relation to other people or regarding life in general - qualities feminists disrespect in women.

Indeed, "Peace on earth and good will toward men."
