The family, at large, is falling apart–this we know.
But what you may not know is that there are actually groups of people claiming that what we perceive as a social crisis–that is the high divorce rate, children born out of wedlock, etc., is a “triumph” for the human rights movement.
“A leader in the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) has declared that the breakdown of traditional families, far from being a “crisis,” is actually a triumph for human rights.” Life Site News.com
Listen a little more closely…
“In the eyes of conservative forces, these changes mean that the family is in crisis,” he said. “In crisis? More than a crisis, we are in the presence of a weakening of the patriarchal structure, as a result of the disappearance of the economic base that sustains it and because of the rise of new values centered in the recognition of fundamental human rights.”
Basically, it’s just us kooky conservatives with our “narrow-minded view” that the ideal family is a mother, father and children, who think something is wrong. Silly us. We just need to be enlightened, I guess.
(By the way, the curriculum in our government school systems have already been moving toward this–removing all traces of references to “Mom and Dad” lest we offend, and adding positive reference to homosexual relationships.)
Dare I see the “f” word? Feminism–and all its cohorts are to blame for this warped way of thinking. It’s a natural progression. In the name of “rights”, we have elevated woman to a level of rebellion against any structure that threatens to “limit” her.
Now that she’s free to throw off the yoke of marriage on a whim, she’s too educated to stay home and invest in the future of her children, and we’ve finally broken the social stigmas that would require her to need a husband in order to start a family–why wouldn’t the family as we know it break down?
And what are they left to say except, “This is a good thing”? After all, this is what they created. To admit we have problems, is to admit they have failed.
So they’ll keep their heads buried in the sand and clap at each divorce–another “triumph”, while ignoring the blatant destruction all around us as a result of the collapsing family.
Christians, gird up your family and your children. They may be the only ones left standing.
Thank you, Daja, for sending me that link.
