SAHM -Your work really matters!
Here's something for every SAHM (stay-at-home-mother) who questions her worth - especially those fighting years of public shool brainwashing preparing her for anything but motherhood.
It's an article called "It's the Sex, Stupid" - an interesting analysis of how our culture's demeaning of sex from the social glue it provides through lifelong marriage/parenting/family arrangements to a simple recreational activity - she calls it WalMart sex - by a woman who bought into the lie herself and ended up with only one child - below her own replacement level (which Western civilization currently is - except for immigration by groups from other cultures.)
If you don't have time to read the whole article, at least take heart and live your life with complete assurance that you are on the right path. Her concludion paragraphs:
What women do and want will be decisive in determining whether the West survives the demographic clash with Islam. If intelligent, educated women believe children are an unacceptable distraction from their careers, we won’t have many kids. If women regard flash cards as beneath their dignity, educating the next generation will be left to hired help. If women think raising a child alone is less trouble than dealing with a pesky man, we’ll have a lot of stressed out single mothers and poorly raised kids..So, stay at home moms, don’t let anyone tell you that you are wasting your talents. Without your contribution of a healthy, functioning next generation, all the strength of the U.S. military won’t be enough to protect us from the primal force of Islam that believes in itself enough to replace itself. Your actions show that you believe in your civilization enough to invest in its future

I just found a "fun" book...(well, challenging and academic), but WONDERFUL book called "Domestic Tranquility, A Brief Against Feminism" by F. Carolyn Craglia. I found it "accidentally' while browsing for another book on amazon.com. I always look first to see if I can find the book in my library system and I did. I am now plugging away at reading this book and wondered if there are any other thinking, reading women out there that may have read or would be interested in reading and discussing this book? I'd love to hear other's thoughts on this book.
