Letter from a Young Non-Feminist Woman

Dear Henry,

I've been reading your articles for about a year now ... coming out from under the feminist shadow since I was 18. Interestingly enough I learned of you through a "gender" studies class I had to take in college.

While everyone in the class was berating your work I actually sat there with my laptop and took the time to read what you had to say. I can't say I agree with you on everything (where would we be if we all agree?) but I really enjoy reading your articles about feminism and what it has done to women and the society at large.

I've always felt like I lived in a different world. I do not see the point or the necessity in competing with men. I was always taught men and women need each other. We are two halves to a whole. Our strengths and weaknesses compliment each other.

This was something the women in my so-called gender studies class didn't seem to understand. No one liked me but I'm fairly confident that is because I tried to make them see things they didn't want to see. I constantly spoke up and offered different points of view to what was being taught but was shushed without further comment. One day after class, my professor asked me to stay behind and actually told me she didn't appreciate me speaking up in class.

About half way through the semester my boyfriend of five years proposed to me. Obviously I was ecstatic. I was incredibly happy and considered myself lucky to have found a true, honest to God man. Someone to love and devote myself to and who will in return provide and protect our children and myself.

When I came to class I was eager to show my classmates my ring and tell them the good news but I was met with disdain. Of course no independent, intelligent and self respecting woman would commit herself to a man at 21.

Gasp! I hadn't had numerous sexual escapades and turned 30 yet. I was setting myself up for a lifetime of servitude. I thought about dropping that class all semester but I needed the credit and the only reason I didn't fail was because I wrote what my professor wanted to read on my last paper. I felt horrible for doing that but like I said I needed the credit and I didn't want the ridiculous amount of money I spent for the class to be a complete waste.

Since that time I've learned how lonely it is not to be a feminist. I don't understand the women around me and I have little patience for them or their complaining. Yet I'm not a religious person, not in the organized sense anyway, and I find I have little patience for large church congregations and their many hypocrisies.

I am lucky enough to have my fiance, my best friend, my life partner and the handful of wonderful male friends he has. They are my guys and I love them all dearly. However sometimes a woman simply needs the companionship and guidance of another woman and I sadly haven't had that since my grandmother passed away.

Anyway I've gone off on a wild ramble and strayed from my initial reason for emailing you. Though we don't agree on every point, I want to thank you for doing what you do. I will keep reading as long as you keep writing.

Thanks Abby,

The people behind feminism have a long history of using and betraying people. Your classmates will find that there is nothing lonelier than being an aging single mother or lesbian.

Congratulations for listening to your own common sense and instinct.

Henry

Here's another girl like Abby (You Tube)

I loved reading the Letter From Abby. I'm 24 and just graduated college with a BA in Political Science. I had an experience similar to hers in my Women in Politics class. When I signed up for it I knew it would just be a bunch of Feminist propaganda, but it was the only Political Science class in that time slot that fit my schedule. The class was exactly as I expected it to be. My teacher ragged on men the whole time and most people just ate it up. A few times some people tried to speak out, but they were quickly shot down. Like this one time the teacher said women should go back to work right after having their baby, and a girl said something about the benefits of breastfeeding. My teacher replied "That's what breast pumps are for." I never spoke up though because it was my last semester, and by that time I had figured out that it is better not to try and argue with the professor. They just want you to regurgitate what they are telling you, which is what I did to pass the class.

I also feel I have been lucky to find a man from a good, Conservative, Christian background. I never knew these were qualities I was looking for in a man until I met him. Some of my more liberal friends think he is too possessive/controlling, but I love that about him. I think that is the way God intended it. --Natalie

I was happy to read Abby's letter to you. Finally a woman who thought for herself and stood up to feminism, NWO brain washing. Abby if you read this your future husband is a blessed man. We need a lot more women like you!!! I hope your values and morals pass for many, many generations in your family.

Thanks for sharing this letter. I pray to God everyday to help me find a woman like this.

it is so nice to see a young woman who feels that way about feminism. i am 48 and most of the women i know think i have grown horns or something. my hubby rules our house. i stay home and take care of him and everything household. he works outside the house and does all the repairs around the house. i love being a woman and most woman don't believe this, but equality would be bad for women. thank you for trying to educate others. i, too, do not always agree with you, however, i agree that feminism is helping to kill our beautiful country.

Thanks for the letter from Abby. It may surprise you to find that there are quite a number of young Abbys out there who have figured out that feminism doesn't work. And are quietly returning to home and hearth.

As for her classmates, some of them will realize that Abby is right about feminism and they are wrong. Let's hope that her example will get them thinking about a happier and more positive future.

Hello, I just want to say hi to Abby and tell her that I totally agree with her!
I knew that from a young age I wanted to be a wife and mother. When I told this to my 4th grade teacher, she looked upset and said "That's it?" Like it was nothing. I felt ashamed that I didn't want to "do more" with my life. But my dream never left me and I'm not ashamed any more! I too am under 30 and engaged to a great guy. My mom thinks I'm too young to get married, even though I'm 28. I've stayed at home and I'm far from the typical "sex in the city" whore.

I have never had any women friends either. In fact, I find most women to be absolutely vile. I want a best friend so bad, but all of the women I've had the (dis)pleasure of meeting are either drunks, loose, cuss like men, or a combination of all of the above. It seems like there's only a handfull of real women left! Congrats on your engagement! Maybe we can be pen pals if you'd like! =^.^=
