The Summer 2008 newsletter of The Women’s Freedom Network contained a review of Anne R. Pierce’s, Ships Without a Shore: America’s Undernurtured Children, a scholarly work of non-fiction that pointed out the lack of nurturing America’s children receive, and the adverse effects it creates among them. I could readily identify with this subject as our message incorporates the importance of family and the proper raising of children, so I sent Ms. Pierce a supportive Email.
In preparing to bring this book to your attention I decided to check into it in further detail. The book is not readily available in New York, so I gleaned through the information that was available such as the flier and reader comments on Amazon.com. Also, the author has a website at shipswithoutashore.com, which I logged on to and read the trailers, sample pages, and listened to a 20 minute radio interview in which she describes the lack of nurturing that American children receive.
Then it hit me.
Not once in all the reviews, commentary, promotion and interviews did I come across the words man, husband, or father. This omission says more about the state of raising our children than does her entire book. Even the word family wasn’t raised except in her reference to single parent families. Ms. Pierce informs us that she has three children, but she makes no reference to their father or her husband.
Here we have the typical western scholarly approach to analyzing a problem including consultations with experts, interviews of parents and children, and the compiling of empirical data, which will then be analyzed and conclusions drawn. No action will be implemented, which is why nothing will change.
There is a conceptual, natural, gender based cause to the issues that Ms. Pierce writes about. Women are designed physically, mentally, and emotionally to nurture the race. It is up to men to provide the environment and means for that nurturing to take place. Women have been removed from the environment that would enable them to properly nurture their children. Government cannot fix the problem—it caused it.
When women stay at home to care for their children, the children will be properly nurtured. Also, in order for a woman to be a good mother it is necessary for her to be a good wife. Part of a child’s nurturing and preparation for adulthood is witnessing the relationship between their parents.
A concern of Ms. Pierce is that women do not want to give up the gains they have made. What gains? The most miserable women on the face of this earth are English speaking white women. You can quote me on that. The number one debilitating illness of the American woman is depression, and the core group consists of middle class, white, single women—especially those with children. They are the ones that promote feminism, independence and all the intellectual slop that goes along with it.
Having said the above, I have a feeling that if I read Ms. Pierce’s book I will go along with her findings, but I don’t need her book to realize the negative conditions in which children are raised; they are the natural outcome of gender ignorance.
This brings me back to The Women’s Freedom Network, an organization whose mission statement includes the following: “It celebrates the achievements women have already made, and it views women’s issues in light of a philosophy that defines women and men as individuals and not in terms of gender. It does not set different standards of excellence, morality, or justice for men and women.” There you have it—they do not know the difference between those who have testis and those who have teats—a manifestation of the colossal ignorance of European thought. Their mission statement also indicates that they “seek alternatives to extremist ideological feminism and the anti-feminist traditionalism.” That’s the equivalent of believing that women can be only a little bit pregnant and mostly a virgin. To not know the fundamental gender differences between the sexes IS extremist.
If any of you decide to buy and read Ms. Pierce’s book, I would appreciate receiving your comments.
There are no single parent families. Men make families and all other societal groupings. Without a man, raising children is a hardship—a hardship on the mother, society, and the children.
