    Feminists should thank God for capitalism

    Wokes should wake up.

    Feminists should thank God for capitalism

    When it comes to feminism, “it’s the economy, stupid.” Pantsuits didn’t liberate women; washing machines did — and we have American capitalism to thank for that. So, why are so many self-styled feminists trying to tear down capitalism?

    Take, for example, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), popularly known as AOC. She calls herself a feminist, even fronting as a suffragette at national events. But her socialist Green New Deal won’t make American women more independent. As a feminist myself, I know it will create a whole new category of “kept” women — this time dependent upon government instead of a man.

    Big government is a sugar daddy by another name. Expanding it will set women back 100 years.

    AOC’s “new deal” would stifle the very thing that got us this far. We’ll never achieve equal opportunity and prosperity for women until we finally accept that women have what it takes to make it in the free market — where jobs aren’t guaranteed. Instead we need to guarantee that all women are free to utilize their skills and talents to help each other, and themselves, without government interference.

    ...AOC and other progressive lawmakers embracing socialism want to take it all away by having us become “kept” women, dependent on and under the thumb of an overreaching government.

    We don’t need it. It’s time for the socialists to get out of our way and keep government out of our business.

    They should thank God for a lot of things they don't.

    More to the point, I think, is the fact that feminists should be thankful for European civilization. I don't use "Western Civilization" as much these days because it has come to denote liberalism.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    It's sort of the same thing with all those who demand social reform, social welfare, social justice, even socialism, capitalism is the system that implements those agendas. Perhaps, ultimately, to the detriment of European civilization, biting the hand that feeds them. I doubt the French in the street mourned the lost of Christianity in the Notre Dame fire.
