Now that feminists have shredded motherhood, the State steps in
by Laura Perrins, The Conservative Woman:
Plump up your cushions ConWom’ers because things are just getting better and better.
On Wednesday we were told: “All parents should receive lessons from the government on how to bring up their children, Britain’s top public health expert has urged.
Today’s young people are being neglected by “sweatshop” schools and bad parents, meaning that the State must step in to stop irreparable damage, according to John Ashton, outgoing president of the Faculty of Public Health. He said that parents needed help to prevent the next generation being crippled by conditions such as anxiety, anorexia and obesity.”
We were also told: “One child in ten has a mental health problem and a poor relationship with parents is among the main causes, said Professor Ashton, who added that health services must not be afraid to intervene in family life to head off a lifetime of suffering.”
And over what period of time has this deterioration in family life happened – ah yes, the last few decades when the feminists and then everyone in public life declared war on motherhood and the home.
When I read this, or opinion pieces that extol the virtues of Gruffalo time (reading to your children) it just makes me choke on my Cheerios.
For decades now the feminists and their facilitators in the mainstream media and politics have said parenting was easy, mothers were expendable, and there was nothing important about raising children.
Sure anyone could do it – the 17-year-old single mother or the 25-year-old nursery worker dealing with 4 or 5 two year olds. Send the mothers into the office and, ‘everything will be fine.’
