A False Equality

From her book The Denial Of Woman, Mary Malone writes;
'The religion of Equality, whose superstitions are the orthodoxy these days, seeks to reduce Woman to the level of Man.
To their credit, our ancestors knew that Woman was not like Man, and not simply because she has different genitalia. They were perfectly aware that gender is an integral part of a person's identity.
They knew that you are who you are, not who you want to be. They did not fantasize about what ought to be, and use their 'free will' to re-create themselves. They did not hate themselves as modern women do. They did not deny Woman.
When the Narrative tells us that all women should be Warriors and that all Men should be Carers, when the courage and resilience and the self denial of the male is denigrated, when the tenderness and love and practicality of the female is derided, when our children are taught that romance is gender neutral, that there is no difference between Woman and Man apart from our reproductive organs, we are staring into the abyss, we are on the edge of the destruction of Woman.
There is so much more to a man than his unseemly parts. He is strong, impulsive, energetic, loyal, irrational, childish, creative, everything a dog should be, and more.
Yet he lacks our adult purpose, our tenderness, our rationality. A man needs a woman for much more than her own unseemly parts. Without a woman a man is lost, as abandoned as a stray dog.
When a woman has a man and children she is complete. She has accomplished her will to power. She is the Mistress.
But a woman naked and alone, doing the work of men, has been stripped of her power.
For the Equal Woman, reduced to the level of the male, whose femininity has been ground down to the level of her sexual organs, there can be no romance, no love, no service, only mutual masturbation and genital imperialism.'
